網球與音樂 - Tennis x music: Hugh Laurie - I'm in love with Steffi Graf

英國劍橋大學文學院畢業的英國影帝休.羅利(Hugh Laurie)年輕時與同為劍橋人的史蒂芬佛萊(Stephen Fry)在合作的BBC雙人喜劇影集A Bit of Fry & Laurie中一段自彈自唱,逗趣地歌頌對網球前球后葛拉芙(Steffi Graf)的愛慕歌曲 - I'm in Love with Steffi Graf。休.羅利唱著:葛拉芙是天使,當她發上旋二發時,我想我懂了愛的意義。。。如果有來生,我願意選擇回來做葛拉芙的其中一隻網球鞋。。。

休.羅利除了是英國影帝、金球獎最佳男演員,前幾年主演的怪醫豪斯(House)大紅獲獎無數,他同時也是作家和音樂家,寫書和出過許多張專輯,彈的更是一手好鋼琴。






Hugh Laurie - I'm in love with Steffi Graf
歌詞:

She's got eyes like diamonds,
Hair like twisted gold.
When she looks up to me,
I feel my blood run cold

Now, I don't care if people laugh
(A-ha)
I'm in love with Steffi Graf

I watched her all last summer;
I watched her every day
She knew that I was with her,
She didn't have to say

She can run, but she can't hide
She knows I feel deep down inside..

That Steffi is an angel
But she folds her wings
And walks like you and me
She's extremely good at tennis
On any kind of surface there might be
Clay or grass
She'll flay your ass
And when she hits that topspin second serve
I think I know the meaning of love

Eastbourne never was a favorite
The outside courts were damp
She had a hamstring problem
And recurring muscle cramp
But she dug deep and won it just the same
My angel never lost a service game

But now, a shadow in the distance
A girl with ponytails
Sixteen and full of hunger
The end of Steffi's trail
I can't wait for her defeat
I fetch a knife and take my seat

'Cause Steffi is a goddess
My love for her, it knows no bounds
I'd kill to make her happy,
Or just to get her through the early rounds
Kill or maim
It's just a game
But if I had another life, I'd chose
To come back as one of Steffi's shoes

'Cause Steffi is an angel
But she folds her wings

And walks like you and me
