Sade-By Your Side

  樂評人最近選出的50首21世紀最佳情歌，Sade 的"By Your Side" (2000)排名第7。

  如果一首歌可以當作哭泣時的肩膀，那將會是“By Your Side”「在你身邊」。

  長期的音樂偶像Sade “莎黛”用她女低音和簡單而真誠的歌詞，一種讓人安心的輕鬆感表達了對所愛的人在任何情況下都要堅持 : “You think I’d leave your side, baby/ You know me better than that”「寶貝，你以為我會離開你的身邊/你比那更了解我」。她同名的合唱團Sade於21世紀的第一首暢銷曲“By Your Side”超越了音樂類型---它融合了輕搖滾和深情的節奏與藍調---詮釋一種不可動搖的愛，這也是為什麼此後此曲成了受歡迎的婚禮歌曲。

  1969年出生於非洲奈及利亞的Sade是一位英-奈混血兒，本名Helen Sade Folasade，在英格蘭Claton-on-Sea成長，樂評人將她的歌路定位為爵士風的R&B，她曾獲得1985年的最佳新人獎。

  Sade的“By Your Side”2001年曾獲Billboard Hot 100第75名，2010年的“Soldier Of Love”則獲得第52名，她的成名曲是1985年曾獲得過第5名，令歌迷們難忘的“Smooth Operator”。

By Your Side

 

You think I'd leave your side baby

You know me better than that

You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees

I wouldn't do that

I'll tell you you're right when you want

Ha ah ah ah ah ah

And if only you could see into me

 

Oh, when you're cold

I'll be there

Hold you tight to me

 

When you're on the outside baby and you can`t get in

I will show you you're so much better than you know

When you're lost and you're alone and you can't get back again

I will find you darling and I will bring you home

 

And if you want to cry

I am here to dry your eyes

And in no time

You'll be fine

 

You think I'd leave your side baby

You know me better than that

You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees

I wouldn't do that

I'll tell you you're right when you want

Ha ah ah ah ah ah

And if only you could see into me

 

Oh when you're cold

I'll be there

Hold you tight to me

Oh when you're low

I'll be there

By your side baby

 

Oh when you're cold

I'll be there

Hold you tight to me

Oh when you're low

I'll be there

By your side baby
