"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North used the music as a theme for the little-known prison film Unchained (1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most often recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers. According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages.
《奔放的旋律》（"Unchained Melody"）是由曲作者Alex North和詞作者Hy Zaret于1955年共同創(chuàng)作的歌曲。Alex North在鮮為人知的監(jiān)獄題材電影《Unchained》中使用該曲作為主題曲，因此得名。Todd Duncan為電影原聲演唱了該曲。此后，《奔放的旋律》成為了20世紀(jì)被錄制次數(shù)最多的歌曲之一，據(jù)某些估計(jì)已有超過670位藝術(shù)家衍生出了數(shù)百種語言的超過1500個(gè)版本。
In 1955, three versions of the song (by Les Baxter, Al Hibbler, and Roy Hamilton) charted in the Billboard Top 10 in the United States, and four versions (by Al Hibbler, Les Baxter, Jimmy Young, and Liberace) appeared in the Top 20 in the United Kingdom simultaneously, an unbeaten record for any song. The song and "Do They Know It's Christmas" are the only songs to reach number one in four different recordings in the UK. Of the hundreds of recordings made, it was the July 1965 version by the Righteous Brothers, performed as a solo by Bobby Hatfield, that became a jukebox standard for the late 20th century. This version achieved a second round of great popularity when it was featured in the film Ghost(1990). In 2004, it finished at number 27 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
在1955，三個(gè)版本的歌曲（由Les Baxter，Al Hibbler，Roy Hamilton）在美國的Billboard排行榜進(jìn)入過前10名，和四個(gè)版本（Al Hibbler，Les Baxter，Jimmy Young，和利伯雷斯）出現(xiàn)在英國的前20位同時(shí)，創(chuàng)造了前所未有的記錄。這首歌曲和它的專輯“他們知道是圣誕節(jié)么？”是唯一在英國四種不同的錄音中達(dá)到第一名的歌曲。在所做的諸多版本中，由正直兄弟（The Righteous Brothers）1965年演唱的版本成為了20世紀(jì)晚期自動(dòng)點(diǎn)唱機(jī)的標(biāo)配，并且因?yàn)楸?990年流行電影《人鬼情未了》采用而迎來第二輪的熱潮。2004，它成為美國電影學(xué)會(huì)一百年中最著名歌曲排行的第27首。
Unchained Melody
Lyrics
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, for your touch
A long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
