社羣中心綜合報導

美聲天籟!來自菲律賓的一對兄弟攜手合作重新詮釋2004年葛萊美獎年度歌曲《與吾父再次共舞》(Dance with my Father Again),影片上傳一週即有超過110萬人次點閱,許多網友深深被他們的表演感動,「聽到我都起雞皮疙瘩了!」

影片中負責唱歌的人是奧爾德里奇(Aldrich Lloyd Taloding)、伴奏的則是他的表哥詹姆士(James Walter Bucong)。奧爾德里奇擁有一副驚人的嗓音,既平穩又有力,細膩中帶有技巧,詹姆士彈奏吉他樂聲和和表弟歌聲完美地融合在一起。

《與吾父再次共舞》是一首難度相當高的歌,原唱德魯斯(Luther Vandross)在2003年出了這張專輯,獻給在天上父親,2年後,他也在過52歲生日的前4天,與父親一樣因糖尿病引發的併發症過世,《與吾父再次共舞》也成爲他在世的最後遺作

網友感慨,奧爾德里奇的表現可說完全不輸給原唱範德魯斯(Luther Vandross),但菲律賓音樂產業不發達,兩兄弟的才能恐怕就此埋沒。

或許事實真是如此,但至少,在這一刻,全世界都聽見了奧爾德里奇和詹姆士-與吾父再次共舞。

Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocenceMy father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and thenSpin me around 'til I fell asleepThen up the stairs he would carry meAnd I knew for sure I was loved當我還是個孩子在那保有天真的歲月裡父親會將我抱得高高的與我母親ㄧ起跳着舞父親會抱着我轉圈,直到我入睡然後把我抱上樓我很清楚我是被愛的If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with himI'd play a song that would never, ever endHow I'd love, love, loveTo dance with my father again如果我還有一次機會與他一起散步、與他共舞我會放一首永遠不會結束的曲子我是多麼想再跟父親跳一次舞When I and my mother would disagreeTo get my way, I would run from her to himHe'd make me laugh just to comfort meThen finally make me do just what my mama saidLater that night when I was asleepHe left a dollar under my sheetNever dreamed that he would be gone from me當我不想聽母親話的時候總會跑到父親的身邊他會逗我開心,安慰我最後讓我心甘情願地照我母親的話去做那ㄧ晚在我睡覺的時候他在我的牀單下放了ㄧ塊錢我從來沒有想過 父親會離開我If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with himI'd play a song that would never, ever endCause I'd love, love, loveTo dance with my father again如果我還能再看父親ㄧ眼再邁出ㄧ步,再跟父親跳最後ㄧ支舞我會放一首永遠不會結束的曲子我是多麼想再跟父親跳ㄧ次舞Sometimes I'd listen outside her doorAnd I'd hear how my mother cried for himI pray for her even more than meI pray for her even more than me有時候我會在母親的門外聽見她思念父親的哭聲我常爲她不停的祈禱我常爲她不停的祈禱I know I'm praying for much too muchBut could you send back the only man she lovedI know you don't do it usuallyBut dear Lord she's dyingTo dance with my father again我知道我祈求得太多但您能不能把她今生唯一深愛的男人還給她?我知道您通常不會這麼做可是親愛的上帝她是如此渴望再和我的父親共舞阿Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream每晚入睡時,我都是這麼夢想
