老歌亂談(1229)Angel of the Morning (重編)
此曲為Chip Taylor所寫,這位老兄有位知名的影星哥哥Jon Voight ( 強‧沃特),而哥哥的女兒更有名,為超級女演員Angelina Jolie ( 安潔莉娜裘莉 )。

據Chip Taylor自己陳述,他寫此曲的靈感為來自於某日在車上的收音機聽到滾石樂團(The Rolling Stones ) 的一首《Ruby Tuesday》( 該曲為述說一位生活率性、不受世俗道德羈絆的女子,為以團員Keith Richards的前模特兒女友Linda作為人物原型。),而此首「早晨的天使」〉則為述說「未婚前性行為」或是「一夜情」甚或是「賣春」之關係,這在當時的保守社會並不能被接受,故此曲首欲交由女歌手Connie Francis ( 康妮法蘭西絲 ) 來唱,被認為會損及其名譽、形象而遭退回。之後於1967由Evie Sands首錄發行,卻因唱片公司財務問題未做宣傳行銷而致成績不佳。次年1968,女歌手Merrilee Rush 發行其版本,一舉衝上了排行榜第7名,亦獲得了葛萊美獎年度最佳女歌手的提名。

13年後的1981,女歌手Juice Newton翻唱此曲,成績相當亮眼,在告示牌熱門百強No.4、當代成人No.1及 錢櫃百強No.2,也獲得了葛萊美獎年度最佳女歌手的提名。雖說如此,台長還是較喜歡Merrilee Rush的版本。
台灣女歌手蘇芮初出道時藝名Julie,演唱西洋歌曲,曾擔任由譚健常領軍的Action合唱團的女主唱。印象中就曾在電視上看過Julie與Action演唱此首《Angel of the Morning》,由於歌路適合,唱得非常不錯。

【中文歌詞為Google翻譯】
不會有任何繩子束縛你的雙手
There'll be no strings to bind your hands
如果我的愛無法束縛你的心就不會
Not if my love can't bind your heart
沒有必要表明立場
There's no need to take a stand
因為我選擇開始
For it was I who chose to start
我看沒有必要帶我回家
I see no need to take me home
我已經老到可以面對黎明了
I'm old enough to face the dawn
請叫我清晨天使吧,天使
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
在你離開我之前,先觸摸一下我的臉頰吧,寶貝
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
請叫我清晨天使吧,天使
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
然後慢慢轉身離我而去
Then slowly turn away from me
也許太陽的光芒會暗淡
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
無論如何都沒關係
And it won't matter anyhow
如果清晨的迴響說我們犯了罪
If morning's echo says we've sinned
嗯,這就是我現在想要的
Well, it was what I wanted now
如果我們是夜晚的受害者
And if we're victims of the night
我不會被燈光弄瞎
I won't be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away
我不會乞求你留在我身邊
I won't beg you to stay with me
透過淚水
Through the tears
當日的
Of the day
這些年來
Of the years
Baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, darling
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, darling
這條也是名曲了,印象中黃鶯鶯也有灌過這條歌。
