８０年代日本偶像女王〔松田聖子〕與美國女子三重唱〔威爾森菲利普〕的交集〔Hold On／堅持〕

I know there’s pain
Why do you lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can change your life except for you
Don’t ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind
Is it really fair to feel this way inside?

Someday somebody’s gonna make you want to
Turn around and say Good-bye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things’ll go your way
Hold on for one more day

You could sustain
Or are you comfotable with the pain
You’ve got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess
Lettin’ your worries pass you by
Don’t you think it’s worth your time
To change your mind?

Someday somebody’s gonna make you want to
Turn around and say Good-bye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things’ll go your way
Hold on for one more day

I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day
And you break free from the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day
And you break free break from the chains

Someday somebody’s gonna make you want to
Turn around and say Good-bye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
If you hold on

Don’t you know things can charge
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
If you hold on
Can you hold on
Mmm...Can you hold on baby
Won’t you tell me now
Hold on for one more day ’Cause
It’s gonna go your way
Don’t you know things can charge
Things’ll go your way
Don’t you know things can charge
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day, yeah
Can’t you change it this time
Make up your mind

Hold on, Hold on Baby hold on
Hold on, Hold on Baby hold on

１９９１年３月時  ２９歲的松田聖子（Seiko Matusda）推出了自己擔任製作的〔Eternal／永恆〕專輯
將前幾年她在美國籌備英語大碟〔Seiko〕期間

聽到的一些８０／９０年代初西洋金曲填上日文歌詞翻唱
譬如 Tiffany〔All This Time〕, Jody Watley〔Everything〕 ,
Michael Bolton/How Am I Supposed To live Without You,
Gloria Estefan〔Here We Are〕, Surface〔Shower me With Your Love〕等
不過專輯仍有兩首英文歌曲原封不動地重新詮釋
一首是樂壇女皇瑪丹娜（Madonna）的冠軍曲 〔Crazy For You／為你瘋狂〕,

另一首則是為美國女子三重唱威爾森菲利普（Wilson Phillips）拿下１９９０年美國告示棒１９９０年年度冠軍的〔 Hold On／堅持〕

聖子的和原唱的 茜娜菲利普（Chynna Phillips）的音質有點接近　不過較為尖細稚嫩
另外　Wilson Phillips是三人團體　聖子則以自己合音加以層層鑲飾
聽起來也有異曲同工之妙
如果聽過威爾森菲利普版的〔Hold On〕 　或許可以換換口味
聽聽聖子如何演繹這首流行經典
