Do I Love You - Paul Anka & Anthea Anka

Do I Love You - Paul Anka & Anthea Anka 合唱 Mtv

他女兒之一的安西雅（Anthea Anka），顯然遺傳了父親的歌唱天賦，在「Amigos」專輯裡面就被父親拉出來，以西班牙語合唱了保羅安卡1971年根據法文歌曲改寫的名曲「Do I Love You」。這首歌當年雖然排行名次並不是很高，卻相當受歡迎，被認為是最適合婚禮浪漫情調的歌曲之一，很多人都曾經翻唱過，而這次他又再度出動了安西雅，父女兩個重新用英語合唱了一次。在歌曲中，我們還聽到另外兩個化成灰都不會讓人弄錯的聲音：原來，除了大衛佛斯特擔任編曲與鍵盤樂器的演奏之外，他還邀請到「比吉斯」（Bee Gees）的貝瑞吉布（Barry Gibb）以那招牌的假音負責和聲，而薩克斯風王子肯尼吉（Kenny G）也客串擔任Solo，讓這首歌曲顯得更豐富了。

Beyond the shadow of a doubt 在懷疑陰影的遠處

As the mighty river flows 像壯麗的河在流

As the meadow gaily plays 像草原快樂地搖曳著

With the wind on summer days 隨著夏天裡的風

About as deep as deep can go 大概像這樣一樣深

from the canyons to the sky 從峽谷到天空

Like a mother as she cares 如同母親像照顧

For the baby that she bears 她所擁有的嬰孩一般

Do I love you? Don’t you know by now? 我愛你嗎? 你現在還不知道嗎?

Do I love you? Let I show you how 我愛你嗎? 讓我表示給你看

Do I love you? I'll always say 我愛你嗎? 我會永遠說

Do I love you? Yes in every way! 我愛你嗎? 是的 不管任何地方

About as sacred as a hymn 大概像聖歌那樣的神聖

and in the Bible of praise 以及在聖經中的讚美詞

From a whisper, to a roar 從低語, 到呼喊

Very much and even more 很多甚至更多

And I'll say it with my eyes 我還會用我的眼神訴說

And I will share it in each night 然後我會跟每一個夜晚分享

Even death, The Lord is kind 就算死了 神是慈悲的

You’ll be the last thing on my mind (因為)你將會是我留在腦海中最後的記憶

Do I love you? You should know by now। 我愛你嗎? 你現在應該知道了

Do I love you? Let I show you how 我愛你嗎? 讓我表示給你看

Do I love you? I'll always say 我愛你嗎? 我會永遠說

Do I love you? Yes in every way! 我愛你嗎? 是的 不管任何地方

Do I love you? You should know by now। 我愛你嗎? 你現在應該知道了

Do I love you? Let I show you how 我愛你嗎? 讓我表示給你看

Do I love you? I'll always say 我愛你嗎? 我會永遠說

Do I love you? Yes in every way~ 我愛你嗎? 是的 不管任何地方

Summer（薩默爾）

豐盈的創作力及藝術的成熟度與品味，在她的首張專輯中便已展露無遺。

Summer（薩默爾）首次出擊，橫跨「電影配樂、古典、民族音樂」三大要素，「智能型全方位」才情，製作、編曲一把抓！薩默爾是嫻熟多國語言，受正統歌劇教育出身，最多才多藝的智能型超級新天後，「夏天」是她的首張同名專輯，這是她親自挑選並參與編曲，融合古典歌劇與歐洲民族風的元素，以及流行音樂中的人文思考。集合全英國最強的製作團隊打造之大卡司製作，由尼克派屈克監製曾製作吉普賽國王合唱團、羅素華生等集結最耀眼、聞名於國際樂壇的音樂家陣容，以及著名管絃樂編曲家尼克伊格曼身兼指揮，指揮享譽世界的英國皇家愛樂交響樂團。薩默爾豐潤如絲又可輕盈的歌聲，如溫柔地撫慰人心。

(17 August 2003) Summer is a classically trained vocalist whose rich, sumptuous voice can soar effortlessly over music written by some of the world's all time greatest composers; Beethoven, Vivaldi, Strauss, Rodrigo, Sting, and Ennio Morricone are just some of the names from the past and present whose music Summer has chosen to present on her self-titled debut album (Sony Music Entertainment Ltd (UK) SK89879) released in April .

Although Summer's debut album is more classically styled than others in the crossover genre, it will appeal to enthusiasts of Sarah Brightman review), Emma Shapplin (review), Izzy (review), Filippa Giordano (review), Sasha Lazard (review) and Laura Turner (feature).

Summer is comprised of twelve tracks the artist personally selected and in several cases arranged by the singer herself. Produced by Nick Patrick (Gipsy Kings, Russell Watson), guest musicians include bassist Pino Palladino (Celine Dion, Peter Gabriel, Eric Clapton), keyboardist Richard Cottle (Mick Jagger, Manic Street Preachers, Vanessa-Mae), guitarist Dominic Miller (Sting), percussionist Miles Bould (John Martyn, James Asher) and renowned orchestral arranger and conductor Nick Ingman who, on this album, conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

"Putting the album together was exciting and the realisation of a dream," says Summer. "It features a huge range of styles and songs. I really wanted to get across not just the fact that I'm an opera singer but that I love singing everything from purely classical pieces to jazz, world and pop." In an effort to bring something different to the table, Summer sought out pieces from around the world and blended them to create an exquisite mix of classical music, world influences, new arrangements and timeless lyrics.

What separates Summer's debut from anything that has gone before is the seamless fusion that has been achieved between the classical and ethnic musical idioms, a fusion that takes nothing from either genre, but rather adds to both and creates a style that is both emotively powerful and intellectually satisfying। The clearest analogy is the combination of jazz and roots that has made Norah Jones debut album review one of the top selling albums on 2002.

The Summer album includes the exciting opening number "Nella Fantasia" by Ennio Morricone with lyrics by Chiara Ferrau; the Spanish song, "Palabra De Honor," which was a huge hit for the Gipsy Kings; "Aranjuez ma Pensee," an arrangement of the Guitar Concerto written in the 1930s by Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo with lyrics by Victoria Kahmi; an exquisite French lullaby "Berceuse" by the the 19th century composer Benjamin Godard; the beautiful "Song To The Moon" by the 19th century composer Antonin Dvorak with lyrics by Jaroslav Kvapil; and an extraordinary cover of Sting's song "Fragile."
