問人間，情是何物，直教人生死相許。


天南地北雙飛客，老翅幾回寒暑。


歡樂趣，離別苦，是中更有癡兒女。


君應有語，渺萬里層雲。


千山暮景，隻影向誰去。


橫汾路，寂寞當年簫鼓。


荒煙依舊平楚。


招魂楚些何嗟及，山鬼暗啼風雨。


天也妒，未信與，鶯兒燕子俱黃土。


千秋萬古，為留待騷人。


狂歌痛飲，來訪雁邱處。





這是金代元好問寫的雁邱詞。


後來金庸把前半段改了幾個字，


在他的《神雕俠侶》中


借著李莫愁的口中，不斷地問著：


“問世間，情是何物？”



這首“Perhaps love”


似乎就在尋找這麼一個答案。 


這是美國歌壇鬼才John Denver 的作品，


收錄在他 1981 年的唱片裏。


另外還有一個版本


是他和男高音 多明戈的雙重唱，


也很好聽。



Perhaps love 



Perhaps love is like a resting place


A shelter from the storm


It exists to give you comfort


It is there to keep you warm


And in those times of trouble


When you are most alone


The memory of love will bring you home





Perhaps love is like a window


Perhaps an open door


It invites you to come closer


It wants to show you more


And even if you lose yourself


And don't know what to do


The memory of love will see you through





Oh, Love to some is like a cloud


To some as strong as steel





For some a way of living


For some a way to feel





And some say love is holding on


And some say letting go


And some say love is everything


And some say they don't know





Perhaps love is like the ocean


Full of conflict, full of pain


Like a fire when it's cold outside


Thunder when it rains


If I should live forever


And all my dreams come true


My memories of love will be of you





And some say love is holding on


And some say letting go





And some say love is everything


Some say they don't know





Perhaps love is like the mountain


Full of conflict, full of change


Like a fire when it's cold outside


Or thunder when it rains


If I should live forever


And all my dreams come true


My memories of love will be of you
