介紹
對於ALICIA KEYS的FANS來說,這首歌曲的確
是心中無法逾越的高峰。將這首歌的詞和曲分開來欣賞也是一種享受。歌詞就是一首完整的詩,將歌手對於愛情的想法表達的淋漓盡致,將一切世俗的物質排除在外。或許一些人認為歌詞太過童話,也許愛情的確無法孤身獨立在金錢,權利,名譽之外。不過這種想法是難能可貴的,即使我們無法做到,我們也應該去爭取,畢竟很少人想把愛情當做遊戲來對待。
曲調是經典的MOTOWN小調,鼓點與鋼琴結合得相當緊湊,加上AK的略帶沙啞的唱腔,的確是一件藝術品。
這首歌也是華語明星翻唱較多的一首歌。

<若無君兮>
Some people live for the fortune
熙熙庸人 為財而來
Some people live just for the fame
攘攘庸人 為名而往
Some people live for the power yeah
絡絡庸人 為權而爭
Some people live just to play the game
繹繹庸人 遊戲人生
Some people think that the physical things
如許庸人 貪戀物慾
Define whats within
妄作定論 以度浮生
And I‘ve been there before
余亦悲伏 往信此征
That lifes a bore
竊以而為 命該尋常
So full of the superficial
虛情假意 肆謔張狂
Some people want it all
庸人如故 攬盡所圖
But I dont want nothing at all
寡慾如我 並無他想
If it aint you baby
若無君兮 余將何處
If I aint got you baby
若無君兮 余將何往
Some people want diamond rings
庸人極欲 珠翠金玉
Some just want everything
庸人浮誇 覬覦繁華
But everything means nothing
猶未可知 得亦為失
If I aint got you yeah
若無君兮 余無可往
Some people search for a fountain Promises forever young
庸人沉淪 妄尋永生
Some people need three dozen roses
庸人嘗求 迷戀徘徊
And thats the only way you prove you love them
痴以為之 可鑑情愛
And in a world on a silver platter
世似銀卣 腹懷萬載
And what would it be
深究底細 詎知何必
No one to share, no one who truly cares for me
余無良人 牽掛憐惜
If I aint got you with me baby
若無君兮 余無念兮
Nothing in this whole wide world dont mean a thing
浩渺斯世 滄海微粒
If I aint got you with me baby
若無君兮 余何戀兮
