The Power of Love (第一版)

Title: The Power of Love
Artist: Jennifer Rush

The whispers in the morning of
lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
as I look in your eyes.
I hold on to your body and feel each move you make.
Your voice is warm and tender
a love that I could not forsake.
'Cause I am your lady and you are my man.
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can. 


Lost is how I am feeling, lying in your arms,
When the world outside's too much to take,
that all ends when I'm with you.

 
Even though there may be times
it seems I'm far away
But never wonder where I am 'cause I
am always by your side.
'Cause I am your lady and you are my man.
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can.
We're heading for something
somewhere I've never been 
 

Sometimes I am frightened
but I'm ready to learn 'bout the power of love !
The sound of your heart beating
made it clear suddenly.
The feeling that I can't go on is light-years away.
'Cause I am your lady and you are my man. . . .
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can.
We're heading for something
somewhere I've never been  

Sometimes I am frightened
but I'm ready to learn 'bout the power of love!
Ooh
the power of love
the power of love.
Sometimes I am frightened
but I'm ready to learn 'bout the power of love !



The Power of Love (Jennifer Rush song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Power of Love" is a famous power ballad co-written and originally recorded by Jennifer Rush. It has been covered by several artists, notably Laura Branigan and Céline Dion, and translated into several languages.

History

In 1985 Jennifer Rush's version spent five weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart in the process becoming the first single by a female soloist to sell a million copies in the UK, and is among the UK's best-selling singles of all time. This initial success stood in contrast to the song's reception in the U.S., where Rush's original could only scrape to number fifty-seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and did not even hit the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. Anglo-Australian duo Air Supply (which changed the chorus to "You are my lady, and I am your man") also recorded the song for their 1985 album. It only peaked at number sixty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100 but peeked at number thirteen on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, making it an "AC Only" hit.

The song was subsequently covered by other artists, two of whose recordings eclipsed all earlier versions on the U.S. charts. A recording by Laura Branigan became a top-twenty hit on both Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts in late 1987; Céline Dion enjoyed a number-one U.S. hit on both Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts with her version, which was nominated for a 1995 Grammy Award. Another version was produced with lyrics in Swedish, "Ängel i natt" ("Angel Tonight"), with another theme, written (lyrics in Swedish) and recorded in 1985 by Elisabeth Andreassen. In 1995, Swedish "dansband" Sten & Stanley recorded "Ängel i natt." A Punjabi version of the song ("Sitam," sung by Amar) was featured in the 2002 film Bend It Like Beckham. A German version, "Die Macht der Liebe," made it onto West German pop charts in the 1980s.

In Spanish the song was dubbed "Si Tú Eres Mi Hombre" ("If You Are My Man") and has been recorded by many Latin artists like Amanda Miguel, Angela Carrasco, La India, also by Los Melódicos, and Operación Triunfo alumna Dulce. Some versions of the song have been made in a Latin style featuring salsa and merengue rhythms. Brazilian singer Rosana recorded a Portuguese version, "O Amor e o Poder," in the 1980s. Dominican singer Anaís sang a "Spanglish" version of the song in her Así Soy Yo Tour concerts.

After the successful chart runs by Celine Dion, Jennifer Rush's version was added to many soft and mainstream Adult Contemporary radio stations' playlists as well. The Jennifer Rush and Celine Dion versions are both widely played on softer adult contemporary radio stations.
