昨晚临睡时突然怀念起“Can’t Help Falling in Love”这首歌，早饭后上网down了一首MP3，习惯性地跟到Wiki，才发现前天（8月16日）是Elvis的三十周年祭。能说什么呢？如果半个世纪后，一个人的歌曲还能继续感动听众的话，怎么评价都是多余。
Elvis Presley (1935-1977)

Love Me Tender
(“Love Me Tender” is a song sung by Elvis Presley, to the tune of “Aura Lee” (or “Aura Lea”), a sentimental Civil War ballad with music by George R. Poulton and words by W.W. Fosdick. “Aura Lee” was published in 1861 and this Civil War song later became popular with college glee clubs and barbershop quartets. It was also sung at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York. —-From WikiPedia)
Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go.
You have made my life complete,and I love you so.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’ I love you,and I always will.
Love me tender, love me long,take me to your heart.
For it’s there that I belong,and we’ll never part.
Love me tender, love me dear,tell me you are mine.
I’ll be yours through all the years,till the end of time.
Can’t Help Falling In Love （to FF）
(“Can’t Help Falling in Love,” by George Weiss, Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore, is a pop song based on “Plaisir d’amour” by Jean Paul Egide Martini. It was rewritten for the 1961 film Blue Hawaii, starring Elvis Presley. —-From WikiPedia)
Wise men say, only fools rush in
but I can’t help falling in love with you.
Shell I stay, would it be a sin
if I can’t help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
darling so it goes somethings are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my hole life too
for I can’t help falling in love with you.
For I can’t help falling in love with you.
顺便说，Elvis通常被我们称为“猫王”，但在欧美，通常的称呼是”Elvis” 或”The King”，“猫王”一词可能源于台湾电台节目，具体的典故来自早期对Elvis的称呼：”the hillbilly cat”，可以参考：“貓王為什麼叫貓王？”（台湾中时电子报的部落格，可能需要代理）
