At the End of the day ( 一日將盡之時 ) ~
Well, my days went by at a dizzying pace
唉, 我的日子以昏頭轉向的步調渡過
I was always running to and fro
總是來回的奔波
And then before I even knew where I was
當我發現時,我已經
Off to dreamland I would go
脫離了我要去的夢境
But now I realize that a day of my life
但我現在有了領悟,我生命中的每一天
Is the price I must pay for tomorrow
都要為明天付出代價
You have taught me to treasure every day
你曾教導我要珍惜每一天
With its joy and its sorrow
不論是快樂或悲傷的
You know that I'm
你知道我這個人
the one who's always being swept away
總是被打敗的那一個
Always torn apart
總是心碎的那一個
How I wish that there was something I could do for you
Simply from my heart
我打從心底希望能夠替你做些事
Darling, at the close of day
親愛的, 在一日將盡之時
Silently for love we'll pray

Now night has finally come to the busy city sky
忙碌的城市夜幕低垂
Where quietly the moon is shining down
月亮正安靜地灑下光輝
On the paths of people hurrying home
She sheds her light all around
她的光芒照耀著趕路回家的人們
And in this heart of mine your love is shining down
在我的心裡, 你的愛也在發光著
It's lighting up my future and my past
它正照亮著我的未來和過去
That is the reason I'm living now
這是我現在生存的理由
Treating each day as my last
把每一天視為最後一天去珍惜
And if you want to know the reason I'm crying, dear
假如親愛的 你想知道我此刻哭泣的理由,
It's 'cause I love you so
那是因為我如此的愛你
How I wish that there was something
我多麼希望有一些事
I could for you
我能幫你做
Just to let it show
證明我的愛
Darling, at the close of day,

Tomorrow's just a dream away,
明日只是如夢一般遙遠
Close the curtain on today
而今日將謝幕結束
藤田惠美,她的歌我都蠻喜歡的呢。(沒有日本人唱英文部分的怪異腔調也是原因之一...) 評論說,她將北歐那種很特別的,純潔無瑕的 acoustic sound 帶到這一張屬於東方的專輯裡面。會知道有這樣的一位歌手,也是因緣際會之下親戚推薦的。本來剛開始我還懷疑,沒什麼聽過這個人啊!歌會好聽到哪種程度?但是在聽過之後反而會覺得:這麼好聽的CD,為什麼那麼少人推薦?這明明超典級的說...
專輯會用「挪威甘菊」這個名稱,因為藤田惠美的歌聲溫柔且充滿透明感,編織出一幅似乎只要閉上眼睛就從心底看見的美麗風景,與感受到那來自北歐的清新氣息,就如同甘菊淡雅的香味,可讓飲用者身心自然的放鬆。在她那清淡又充滿溫暖的歌聲,聆聽者可以慢慢品嘗出「愛」與「和平」的味道。
