Góralu, czy ci nie żal (Highlander, don't be sad ...)
Góralu, czy ci nie żal (Highlander, do you have no regret?) Odchodzić od stron ojczystych, (To leave your native land) Świerkowych lasów i hal (From the green forests and meadows) I tych potoków srebrzystych? (And these silvery streams)
Góralu, czy ci nie żal, (Highlander, do you have no regret?) Góralu, wracaj do hal! (Highlander, return to the meadows)
A góral na góry spoziera (And the highlander gazes at the mountains) I łzy rękawem ociera, (And wipes away tears with his sleeve) Bo góry porzucić trzeba, (Because he must leave the mountains) Dla chleba, panie dla chleba. (for bread, lady, for bread)
Góralu, czy ci nie żal ... (Highlander, do you have no regret …) Góralu, wróć się do hal, (Highlander, return to the meadows)
Góralu, wróć się do hal, (Highlander, return to the meadows) W chatach zostali ojcowie; (Father stays in the hut) Gdy pójdziesz od nich hen w dal (As you leave them behind) Cóż z nimi będzie, a kto powie? (who will be with them?)
I poszedł z grabkami, z kosą, (and go with the horntree and blackbird) I poszedł z gór swoich w dal, (and go from the mountain to far far away) W guńce starganej szedł boso. (only on barefoot) I poszedł z gór swoich w dal (and go from the mountain to far far away) Góralu, żal mi cię, żal! (Highlander, miss me, miss me)
Góralu, czy ci nie żal ... (Highlander, do you have no regret …) Góralu, wróć się do hal, (Highlander, return to the meadows)
A góral jak dziecko płacze: (But Highlander weeps as a child) Może już ich nie zobaczę; (No one could see him cries) I starych porzucić trzeba, (It is necessary to leave from the past) Dla chleba, panie, dla chleba (for bread, lady, for bread)
Góralu, czy ci nie żal ... (Highlander, do you have no regret …) Góralu, wróć się do hal, (Highlander, return to the meadows)
Góralu, czy ci nie żal ... (Highlander, do you have no regret …) Góralu, wróć się do hal, (Highlander, return to the meadows)
別誤會了是那個電腦遊戲,這其實一首由 Neil Sedaka 所創作,而極受歡迎的當代流行曲,Sedaka 是地道的美國人,但自 1960 年代中期開始隨著以 Beatles、Rolling Stone 等為代表的英國搖滾流行樂隊的大舉入侵 (史上稱之為 "British Invasion") ,包括 Neil Sedaka 在內的許許多多的美國本土歌星的事業都一落千丈。Sedaka 的歌曲不再像往昔一樣叱吒排行榜,他說他自己有 10 年的時間沒有發行過任何唱片,徹底從樂壇銷聲匿跡,他還說在最失落的日子裡有一次他走在街上,有人甚至這麼問他, "Are you used to be Neil Sedaka?" ^____^
直到 1972 年,他帶著這首著名的歌曲 Solitaire 重返樂壇,Elvis Presley (貓王),Carpenters (木匠樂隊),Frank Sinatra (法蘭·仙納杜拉) 等等都唱過這首歌,2003 年『美國偶像』大賽的亞軍 Clay Aiken (他也是該賽事迄今為止,推出的最成功男歌星) 在晉級賽中也演唱了此曲,當時的特邀嘉賓裁判正是 Neil Sedaka!但此後 Sedaka 的工作主要還是轉為幕後創作 (他是一個優秀的鋼琴手,1965 年曾準備代表美國去蘇聯,參加柴可夫斯基鋼琴比賽,但後來被主辦方,以他是流行歌星為由,取消了參賽資格)。他為 1970 年代的美國流行組合 The Captain and Tennille 創作了,他們一炮而紅的排行榜冠軍歌曲 "Love Will Keep Us Together" (他們另一首冠軍歌曲 "Do that to me one more time" 更為香港聽眾所熟悉),還為許多大牌歌星寫過歌,他為英國老牌歌星 Tony Christie 寫的 "Is This The Way to Amarillo" 在時隔 34 年之後的 2005 年再度發行時居然拿下了全年唱片銷量總冠軍,為此 2006 年 4 月 7 日在英國皇家阿爾伯特音樂廳,舉辦的一場音樂會當中,Neil Sedaka 本人還以這首歌作者的身份,被基尼斯紀錄組織特別授予一項 "21 世紀最佳唱片銷量大獎"。
而這首歌如此受歡迎,皆因它唱出了真男人的心聲。
Solitaire (Lyric & music by Neil Sedaka)
There was a man, a lonely man Who lost his love, thru his indifference A heart that cared that went unshared Until it died within his silence
And solitaire is the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing solitaire
And keeping to himself, begins to deal And still the king of hearts is well concealed Another losing games comes to an end And deals them out again
A little hope goes up in smoke Just how it goes, goes without saying There was a man, a lonely man Who would command the hand he's playing
And solitaire is the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing solitaire
And keeping to himself, begins to deal And still the king of hearts is well concealed Another losing games comes to an end And deals them out again
And solitaire is the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing solitaire
The Sternberg Triangle was created by Yale professor Robert Sternberg in his 1988 book with Michael Barnes called The Psychology of Love. The triangle holds that three things interact to promote or negate love: intimacy, passion, and decision/commitment.
Intimacy - involves the nature of human interaction and is not confined to sexual contact. In Sternberg's view intimacy includes such attributes as: dependency (on each other), mutual understanding and mutual happiness.
Passion - is the sexual/physical component of love. Even though passion is related to intimacy, they are not interchangeable terms. Sternberg feels that intimacy (as defined above) stimulates passion.
Commitment - is made up of two phases: short term and long term. Short term is simply the decision to love someone. Long term is the decision to invest in that love emotional (and often financial) resources.
By combining these 3 components, Sternberg came up with 8 types of loving. These types are listed in the table below, along with a checklist of the 3 components that make up each type.
Combinations of Intimacy, Passion, Commitment ======================= Intimacy Passion Commitment Non Love Low Low Low Liking/Friendship High Low Low Infatuated Love Low High Low Empty Love Low Low High Romantic Love High High Low Companionate Love High Low High Fatuous Love Low High High Consummate Love High High High
Non love refers to the absence of all three components.
Liking occurs when we just have intimacy, such as in friendships.
Infatuation occurs when we only have passion, such as in love at first sight. This type appears quickly and disappears almost as fast.
Empty love occurs when we only have commitment, and is often the residual love that remains once the other types have faded.
Romantic love, on the other hand, is the combination of intimacy and passion. In this way, it involves both liking and physical desire for the other person.
Companionate love is a combination of commitment and intimacy, and often occurs in the later stages of a relationship after the passion has faded.
Fatuous love is a combination of passion and commitment, therefore lacking intimacy.
Finally, Consummate love is a combination of all three components. This is our society's ideal type of love, because it involves close friendship, physical urges, and a strong commitment.
Sternberg's theory also states that love is made up of more than just a single triangle, and outlines several different types of triangles. Some of his ideas include the real vs. ideal triangles, the self vs. other triangles, the self-perceived vs. other-perceived triangles, and the thought vs. action triangles. Sternberg believes that these triangles are not independent, but that they interact with one another. These interactions between the components and the triangles account for the complexity that exists within loving relationships.
Although the movie "There's Something about Mary" is a comedy, it is also about a kind of love that an awkward and shy boy (Ted) could have for a girl (Mary) throughout the years. After 13 years departure, Ted is still in love - maybe even obsessed - with Mary. Ted hires a Private Investigator Healy to help him to find Mary. Unfortunately, Healy betrays Ted and tries to make Mary become his own girl friend. Knowing something is going wrong, Ted drives down to Florida and seems to have won Mary's love when an anonymous letter exposes his being less than honest about his link to Healy. In one scene, Mary accuses Ted of stalking her and not letting her knows. Mary is hurt and she sends Ted away immediately. To Ted, true love is not nice. Before he goes, Ted turns his back to Mary and says the following touching statement:
No I didn't want to trick you.
Mary, I did it because, I never stop thinking about you.
And if I didn't find you, I knew my life would never ever be good again.
His friends say stop whining,
they've had enough of that.
His friends would say stop pining,
there's others girls to look at.
They've tried to set him up with Tiffany and Indigo,
but there's something about Mary that they don't know.
Mary, there's just something about Mary.
Well, his friends say, look life's no fairy tale,
that he should have some fun,
he's suffered long enough.
Well, they may know about domestic and imported ale,
but they don't know a thing about love.
Well, his friends would say he's dreaming
and living in the past,
but they've never fallen in love,
so his friends need not be asked.
His friends would say be reasonable,
his friends would say just let go,
but there's something about Mary that they don't know.
