歌曲背景

"Stand by Me" is a song originally performed in 1961 by American singer-songwriter Ben E. King and written by King, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller. According to King, the title is derived from, and was inspired by, a spiritual written by Sam Cooke and J. W. Alexander called "Stand by Me Father," recorded by the Soul Stirrers with Johnnie Taylor singing lead. The third line of the second verse of the former work derives from Psalm 46:2c/3c.

In 2012, it was estimated that the song's royalties had topped $22.8 million (£17 million), making it the sixth highest-earning song as of its era. 50% of the royalties were paid to King. In 2014, King's original version was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress, as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", just under five weeks before his death.

The song has been recorded by various artists, like John Lennon, Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali), the Cause, Tracy Chapman, musicians of the Playing for Change project, Florence and the Machine, and the Kingdom Choir.

英文歌词

When the night has come And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we'll see No I won't be afraid Oh, I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling






Stand by me, oh stand by me Oh stand, stand by me Stand by me

If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall

Or the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No, I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling

Stand by me, oh stand by me Oh stand now, stand by me Stand by me

Darling, darling

Stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me Oh stand by me, oh won't you stand now, stand Stand by me... 歌词译文

相伴此生

当夜幕降临

黑暗笼罩大地

月光会是我们唯一的指引

我不会害怕,亦不会恐惧

只要你与我相伴而行

我的至亲至爱,请与我相伴而行

哪怕我们头顶的苍穹瞬间塌陷
