最近較忙，很少到各家看看，不好意思，也感覺很懶得再寫了，然而看到格友依然回來點閱留言，再忙也得擠出些時間寫些東西，就介紹兩首老歌懷舊一下。

早期的台灣土風舞除了引進以色列、巴爾幹半島地區的土風舞外，也用世界各國的音樂編成很多雙人舞，很多已經成經典之作，二三十年後大家還是很喜歡跳這些舞。

土風舞的雙人舞，可稱之為套舞，男女每一段的舞步都設計好了，減少了男士帶舞的煩惱。不同於舞廳，一切都是很單純公開陽光的，是很適合夫妻一起參加的活動。否則男士就很有禮貌的彎腰請女士跳一曲，女士很有禮貌的回禮 ，熟男熟女就更成熟了，非常健康的互動。

特地來溫習一下60年代 Engelbert Humperdinck 唱紅的歌曲 《最後的華爾茲》和《沒有愛的男人》。

The Last Waltz

《最後的華爾茲》是  Engelbert Humperdinck's biggest hits, 在 1967 年九月十月間連續五個星期佔據英國歌曲排行榜第一 。

這首歌曲是一個雙關語，因為它是同時敘述兩個不同的時間不同的故事。第一次《最後的華爾茲》響起時是他們會面的時候，第二次的《最後的華爾茲》卻象徵著他們的關係結束，他們的戀情已經降溫。

I wondered should I go or should I stay,
the band had only one more song to play.
And then I saw you out the corner of my eye,
a little girl, alone and so shy.

I had the last waltz with you,
two lonely people together.
I fell in love with you,
the last waltz should last forever.

But the love we had was going strong,
through the good and bad we get along.
And then the flame of love died in your eye,
my heart was broken in two when you said goodbye.

I had the last waltz with you...
It's all over now, nothing left to say,
just my tears and the orchestra playing.
La la la la la la la la la,
la la la la la la la la la.
I had the last waltz with you...
La la la la la la la la la.

另一首 Engelbert Humperdinck 很有名的歌《沒有愛的男人》，也被編成倫巴型式的雙人舞，舞名稱之為《慕情》。請看下面華府地區中文學校家長們的表演。

A Man Without Love 沒有愛的男人

I can remember when we walked together
Sharing a love I thought would last forever
Moonlight to show the way so we can follow
Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow
Then somethin' changed her mind, her kisses told me
I had no lovin' arms to hold me

Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love

Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Knowing that it's cloudy above
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love

I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me
So, if you see my girl please send her home to me
Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying
Say I can't stop myself from crying

Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love

Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Knowing that it's cloudy above
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love

Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love

Engelbert Humperdinck & Ray Charles - "Release Me"

Please release me, let me go,
For I don't love you anymore.
To live a lie would be a sin.
Release me and let me love again.

I have found a new love, dear.
And I will always want her near.
Her lips are warm where yours are cold.
Release me, darling, let me go.

"A Man Without Love", from the film Romance and Cigarettes
