英语歌曲:Where do I begin－－Patricia Kaas

熟悉钢琴的朋友一定会对这首爵士的旋律不陌生
这首歌就是改编自钢琴曲｛爱的故事｝
融和了蓝调与爵士的音乐风格
是来自法国的atricia Kaas用其独特的嗓音对这首｛爱的故事｝（love story）进行重新的诠释
这也是一场传统钢琴曲和爵士情歌的完美邂逅

如果有这么一架钢琴，一曲JAZZ，一个海滩……
我便愿与世无争，沉醉在这样的华美邂逅中～

Where do I begin－－Patricia Kaas

Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With his first hello
He gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love, another time
He came into my life and made the living fine
He fills my heart

He fills my heart with every special things
With angel¹ songs, with wild imaginings
He fills my soul² with so much love
That anywhere I go, I'm never lonely
With her along who could be lonely
I reach for her hand, it's always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured³ by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
And he'll be there

歌词大意：

我从哪儿说起，来赞美爱情有多么伟大，
这甜蜜的爱情故事，比大海更古老，
这爱情的真谛，是她带给我,
我从哪儿说起？她的第一次问候，使我空虚的人生有了意义；
无论何时，再也不会有如此的爱。
爱情能延续多久？它的长短怎能以时日来衡量？
我现在无以对答，但有一点我敢保证：
我知道我需要她，直到群星燃尽，而她仍依旧
