seasons in the sun是westlife一首很著名的歌，但是它背后的故事又有几个人知道
呢？
三个人，我们姑且称他们为A、B、C。在50年代的法国乡村，他们是同一所高中的同
学。A和C是从小一起长大的、最要好的朋友，B是漂亮的女孩。通常在这种故事里，
我们很容易想象发生了什么事情，A和C同时爱上了B。A是那种很阳光、很乐观、很拉
风的男孩，是学校的运动明星，是很多情窦初开的少女仰慕的对象。生活对于A来说
充满的只是快乐和单纯。而C害羞、内敛，画得一手好画。早在A和B相爱之前，C已经
默默的爱了B很久，但是没有人知道。这份爱被藏在心底，直到毕业后A参军、C成为
一名木匠，直到战后A返回家乡和B结婚，直到婚后A找到工作当上一名货车司机……
A经常离家工作很长时间，B打理着外婆留下的乡村杂货店，有太多的事情需要男人的
帮忙，C就这样担负起了照顾年轻的母女的责任。天长日久，大家都想象得到的事情
就那样发生了。A乐观的天性加上对妻子的爱、对挚友的信任使他对此茫然无知。直
到一个大雪封路的冬天，A在出车的半夜折返家中，发现了一切……面对骤然被生命
中最重要的两个人出卖这个难以接受的事实，A失去控制杀死了他们。当天深夜，A向
警察局自首，两个月后被判一级谋杀罪名成立，于第二年初春执行死刑。在死刑执行
前的第三天，A在狱中写了三段话，分别写给他最好的朋友C、他的父亲和他四岁的女
儿。在即将离开人世的时刻，他仍然将C看作最好的、生命中最值得信赖的朋友。
这个A，叫做Jacques Brel。他写下的这段话最初的名字叫"Le Moribund"，直译的意
思是"the dying man"。Rod McKuen将之翻译成英语，并套上一首法语歌的旋律，这
就是最初的"seasons in the sun"。十年后，Terry Jacks无意中听到了这首歌，经
过他的演绎，歌曲从此红遍全球，被很多很多人翻唱，其中最著名的就是westlife。
只要稍稍想到那个三天后就要离去的人是以怎样的心情在怀念活着的幸福、告别自己年迈的父亲和四岁的女儿，只要稍稍想到他的父亲和女儿在看到这些话时心中剧烈的激荡……我无言。Jacques Brel用美好的笔调歌颂生命的多彩和绚烂，却让聆听的人更加忍不住潸然泪下。对比Terry和westlife的版本，显然westlife的音乐制作要好很多，但从表现一个真正面临死亡的人的心境来说，我喜欢Terry，也更能理解为什么歌中反复强调：It's hard to die.
