英文歌曲|Layla 蕾拉

LaylaDerek the Dominoes
What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease^{1 my worried mind
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
Turned my whole world upside2 down
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain}

蕾拉德瑞克骨牌合唱团
当你寂寞的时候都如何解决
而且无人等候在你身旁
你已经逃避躲藏的太久了
你了解那只不过你愚蠢的自尊罢了
蕾拉，你让我下跪求饶
蕾拉，我求求妳，拜托亲爱的
蕾拉，亲爱的难道你不要减轻我的担忧
我试着给你安慰
当你的老头子叫你失望
像个傻瓜似的，我爱上了你
我的世界被颠覆的一塌糊涂
让大家充分借助目前的处境
在我精神错乱之前
请不要说大家永远找不出办法
而且告诉我全部的爱都是白费

1970年Eric Clapton加入Derek and the Dominos，宇宙无敌超级伟大专辑Layla出现了！这张专辑特别要请Duane Allman助阵在这张专辑中Clapton彻底倾诉了自己对好友George Harrison（披头四吉他手）之妻Pattie的爱意及畸恋中我们的痛苦。
旷世钜作Layla一曲中，Duane Allman弹奏slide guitar，Clapton嘶喊绝望的歌声，两人对飙solo，到后段氛围一转，钢琴与吉他以优美感伤的旋律扫尾。Duane Allman在不久后因车祸过世，使Layla更看上去珍贵，Layla可说是Clapton一生中颠峰之作。
