今天上課明志跟我介紹了三首歌，回到家就興致勃勃的開始找了起來，
特別提一下演唱人是Dan Hill，不是Sam Cooke。
Sam Cooke是唱爵士樂，而非鄉村風格。
不過Sam Cooke也是很經典的一個歌手，
他唱的歌有兩首入選20世紀百大，以後有機會再慢慢介紹他。
來聽歌吧 ^^

Sometimes When We Touch by Dan Hill
You ask me if I love you 你問我是否愛你 And I choke on my reply 我回答不出來 I'd rather hurt you honestly 誠實或許會傷害到你 Than mislead you with a lie 我也不要用謊言誤導你 And who am I to judge you On what you say or do? 我是誰，怎能去批判你做的事、說的話 I'm only just beginning to see the real you 我也才開始認識真實的妳
**And sometimes when we touch 當我們溝通的時候 The honesty's too much 似乎太透明了 And I have to close my eyes and hide 讓我想閉起我的雙眼逃開 I wanna hold you til I die 我真的想擁著你直到天荒地老 Til we both break down and cry 直到我們兩個都承受不住而哭泣 I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides 我想抱著你，直到我內心的恐懼平息
Romance and all its strategy 戀愛的法則和策略 Leaves me battling with my pride 讓我和自己的自尊交戰 But through the insecurity 但在這樣不安定的感覺中 Some tenderness survives 至少還尚存一些溫情 I'm just another writer 我只是另一個作家 Still trapped within my truth 想要逃離現實 A hesitant prize fighter 只是一個出拳太慢的職業拳擊手 Still trapped within my youth** 想逃脫歲月的枷鎖
At times I'd like to break you 有時我想打擊你 And drive you to your knees 讓你屈膝倒下 At times I'd like to break through 有時我想打破僵局 And hold you endlessly 永遠的擁抱著你
At times I understand you 有時我了解你 And I know how hard you've tried 了解你已經努力的嘗試 I've watched while love commands you 我看見被愛支配著的你 And I've watched love pass you by 我也看見與愛擦身而過的你
At times I think we're drifters 有時我想我們都是在愛情中浮沉的人 Still searching for a friend A brother or a sister 還想找尋一段友誼或是親情 But then the passion flares again** 於是熱情又熊熊的燃起
我沒有照字面翻，而是加入自己的解讀 翻完的感想，人真是矛盾的動物‧‧‧*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
Brief Bio of Dan Hill (I'm too tird to translate it right now. Probably I'd do it tomorrow.)
Dan Hill was born in Toronto in 1954 to American Parents who, as an interracial couple, moved to Canada to escape the twin scourges of Racism and McCarthyism. They also believed that Canada provided a better environment to raise their family. Dan began writing songs at age 14 and was playing professionally in small gatherings and coffee houses by the time he reached 17.
Two years later he signed to GRT Records in Canada and so began his quick rise to fame. It was the 1977 Longer Fuse (1977) and the single "Sometimes When We Touch "that sealed Dan's international success. It not only gave him his third Canadian Gold album, it also won over the U.S. audience. "Sometimes When we Touch" also gave Dan his first co-writing experience, in this case with the highly talented and respected Barry Mann.
"We were brought together in almost blind date fashion."
Dan was named Top New Male Vocalist in both Cashbox and Record World: won Juno awards for Composer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year. and was nominated for a Grammy in 1977.
Dan's songwriting can be heard on:
