She - Elvis Costello

She - Elvis Costello


She may be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure
or the price I have to pay
She may be the song
the summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day
into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in her stream
She may not be what she may seems
Inside her shell

She will always seem so happy
in her crowd
Whose eyes can be so crowded
and so proud
No one　　　's allowed to see them
when they cry
She may be the love
that cannot hope to last
May comes a need
from shadows of the past
That I remember till the day I die

She may be the reason I survive
The why and where for I'm alive
The one　　　 I'll care for
through the rough and many years
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is she
She ... she ... oh, she . 

 
"She"는 1999년 영화 [노팅힐]에 사운드 트랙으로 실린
곡으로 프랑스 샹송계의 대부 "샤를르 아즈나브르"의
곡을 리메이크한 곡으로 그답지 않은(?) 부드러우면서도
섬세한 멜로디와 바탕에 깔리는 멋진 오케스트라 연주,
나지막한 음성의 보컬이 멋진 조화를 이룬, 명곡으로
꼽히는 노래입니다.
