0806 Help！--The Beatles

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

这是披头士的第五章专辑，于1965年8月6日发行，同样是由 George Martin 制作，因为大部分歌曲都用在了他们的同名电影《Help！》（导演是理查德·莱斯特）中，所以有的时候这张专辑还会被归纳为原声专辑。

专辑推出的时候他们已经在全球爆红，所以这张专辑才会出现《Help！》这样的歌曲，这首歌是约翰・列侬和保罗・麦卡特尼一起创作的，听上去好像还挺开心，节奏明快的流行摇滚，但仔细看歌词却反映了列侬成名后的焦虑与孤独。

Help, I need somebody
救命！我需要人帮我
Help, not just anybody
救命！不是随便一个人便成
Help, you know I need someone, help
救命！你知道我需要人帮忙 救命啊
When I was younger, so much younger than today
当我年少 比如今更加稚嫩
I never needed anybody’s help in any way
无论怎样 我从不需要谁的帮助
But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured
但而今这些日子一去不复返 我已没那么自信了
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors
而今我发现我已改变主意 打开了心门
Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
如果你能请帮帮我 我感到无比失落
And I do appreciate you being round
我很感激你在我身边
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
帮帮我 让我的双腿回到坚实的大地
Won’t you please, please help me
难道你 你不会帮我吗
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
而今我的生活已经千变万化
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
我的独立自主似乎已经迷迷糊糊消失
But every now and then I feel so insecure
但每当我偶尔感到如此没有安全感
I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before
我知道我只是前所未有地需要你
Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
如果你能请帮帮我 我感到无比失落
And I do appreciate you being round
我很感激你在我身边
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
帮帮我 让我的双腿回到坚实的大地
Won’t you please, please help me
难道你 你不会帮我吗
When I was younger, so much younger than today
当我年少 比如今更加稚嫩
I never needed anybody’s help in any way
无论怎样 我从不需要谁的帮助
But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured
但而今这些日子一去不复返 我已没那么自信了
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors
而今我发现我已改变主意 打开了心门
Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
如果你能请帮帮我 我感到无比失落
And I do appreciate you being round
我很感激你在我身边
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
帮帮我 让我的双腿回到坚实的大地
Won’t you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh
难道你 你不会帮我吗 帮我啊 帮我啊 噢

这张专辑里还有据 “吉尼斯世界纪录大全” 记载被全世界范围翻唱次数最多的作品：《Yesterday》，据说有超过 3000 个翻唱版本，我的 Roon 上有 2410 个版本，虽然很大一部分是 Beatles 各种唱片里面的版本，但这个数量也足够夸张了。BMI 唱片公司声称，在 20 世纪，《Yesterday》已经被表演超过 700 万次。
这首歌只有麦卡特尼的木吉他和弦乐伴奏，旋律和歌词充满了怀旧与感伤，他们整张专辑的风格其实是一致的，都是一种盛名之后的彷徨。

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
昨天，一切烦恼仿佛远在天边
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
可我如今却忧心忡忡
Oh, I believe in yesterday
哦，我宁愿相信昨天
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
刹那间，我不再是从前的我
There's a shadow hanging over me
她的身影总挥之不去
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
哦，往昔在脑海浮现
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
为何她不辞而别，姗然离去
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
一定是我说错了什么，我只好静静等待昨天
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
昨天，爱情本是如此简单
Now I need a place to hide away
我如今却渴望逃避
Oh, I believe in yesterday
哦，我宁愿相信昨天
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
为何她不辞而别，姗然离去
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
一定是我说错了什么，我只好静静等待昨天
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
昨天，爱情本是如此简单
Now I need a place to hide away
而我如今却渴望逃避
Oh, I believe in yesterday
哦，我宁愿相信昨天
Mm mm mm mm mm
嗯嗯嗯
