你知道谁是“不列颠猫王”么？老实说，在听到这首叫做”Ocean Deep”的歌儿之前，我也不知道。。。
Cliff Richard，现在应该被称为Sir Cliff Richard（在英国稍微nb点儿的名人就有望晋级为Sir），除了舞台形象都有点像大猩猩之外，看不出跟Elvis的什么共同之处。
这首“Ocean Deep”最早听到的是台湾某猥琐男的演绎版本（后来还有更多伪劣版本，就不说了），等到我听到Cliff Richard爵士自己的原版之后就加倍鄙视港台的翻唱（基本上都是垃圾，如果不说是亵渎的话）。
Ocean Deep表面上是一首表达深沉爱念的歌，Cliff的演绎也是深情款款的，但是我听来听去都觉得这其实是一首自省的沉思曲，海，深海，翅膀，闭室，爱情，友情，。。。一个人即使孤处一室，也能够拥有深深的海般的情感，这是男女的爱慕之情么？不是，这是自己的思绪，既不比思绪少点什么，也不比思绪多点什么。
I know this love of mine I’ll keep – Ocean Deep…
Ocean Deep
by Cliff Richard
Love can’t you see I’m alone
Can’t you give this fool a chance
A little love is all I ask – a little kindness
In the night
Please don’t leave me behind
No – don’t tell me love is blind
A little love is all I ask and that is all
Oh love I’ve been searching so long
I’ve been searching high’n’low
A little love is all I ask – a little sadness
When you’re gone
Maybe you need a friend
Only please don’t let’s pretend
A little love is all I ask and that is all
I wanna spread my wings – but I just can’t fly
As a string of pearls and pretty girls go sailing by
Ocean deep – I’m so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings – in my –
Solitary room
Ocean deep – will I ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I’ll keep – ocean deep
Love, can’t you hear when I call
Can’t you hear a word I say
A little love is all I ask
A little feeling when we touch
Why am I still alone?
I’ve got a heart without a home
A little love is all I ask – and that is all
I wanna spread my wings – but I just can’t fly
As a string of pearls and pretty girls go sailing by
Ocean deep – I’m so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings – in my –
Solitary room
Ocean deep – will I ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I’ll keep – ocean deep
I’m so lonely lonely lonely…
Maybe..Maybe…
Ocean deep
On my own
In my room
Maybe… maybe…
I’m so lonely
Ocean deep
I’m so lonely i’m so lonely
This love of mine I’ll keep
Ocean deep
