歌手簡介
夏奇拉,出生於哥倫比亞小城,而今,Shakira除了一再地獲得各種音樂獎項的肯定外,更被極具影響力與極高榮耀指標的美國時代雜誌選為雜誌封面人物,被推舉為當今Latin藝人的代表人物。Shakira是魔女還是天使?這是一個問題。對於Shakira,這個問題似乎永遠都無法找到答案。她決不清純可人,但卻總能讓人感覺到聖潔的一面;她決不放蕩不羈,但卻也經常狂野奔放,熱情似火。也許她就是游離在魔女與天使邊緣的精靈吧……
1977年2月2日,Shakira出生於哥倫比亞的巴蘭基利亞,其母是西班牙和義大利後裔,其父具有美國出生的黎巴嫩天主教徒背景。夏奇拉在年僅四歲的時候,即寫下其生平第一首詩——《玻璃玫瑰(La Rosa De Cristal)》。七歲時,她如願得到一台打字機作為禮物,並開始持續不停地寫詩,而她寫的這些詩最後都創作成了歌曲。在她八歲的時候,即創作了生平第一首歌曲——《你的墨鏡(Tus gafas oscuras)》,歌詞內容圍繞著她的父親以及紀念其車禍身亡的哥哥,其創作靈感來自於總是戴著墨鏡掩飾喪子悲傷的父親。
專輯介紹
2000年,公司為Shakira推出了一張名為“MTV Unplugged”的專輯,其中的歌曲收錄於99年為拉丁美洲區的電視網所舉行的演唱會實況。而該場演唱會也於當年9月在拉丁美洲和美國境內強力播放,Shakira也藉此獲得了Grammy“最佳拉丁流行專輯獎”。
在站穩了拉丁和美國市場後,Shakira隨即在2001年推出了眾望已久的個人首張英語專輯《Laundry Service》。她一人挑起詞曲創作、製作大任,盡情施展她與生具有的音樂才華,專輯發行首周便登上了Billboard榜Top3的位置。在商業上的巨大成功,使Shakira一躍成為世界級巨星。首支主打冠軍單曲《Whenever Wherever》以安第斯山脈排笛、巴西鼓等傳統樂器調味,奔放而野性十足。
歌曲歌詞
英文歌詞
Lucky you were born that far away
So we could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign man for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
So many ways to love somebody
le do lo le lo le...le do lo le lo le...
Can't you see...I'm at your feet
Whenever,Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover,hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
Lucky that my lips not only mumble
they spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes are for no other
The day you leave will cry a river
le do lo le lo le...le do lo le lo le...
At your feet...I'm at your feet
Whenever,Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
thereover,hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
le do lo le lo le... le do lo le lo le...
Think out loud,say it again
le do lo le lo le lo le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes
Whenever,wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover,hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
Whenever,wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover,hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel…
