Begin the Bequine （跳起比津舞）

    "Begin the Beguine" 是美国作曲家Cole Porter (1891–1964).写的一首30年代的老歌，曾于1935年10月被美国当时百老汇的著名影星June Knight搬到百老汇50周年庆典上，在纽约帝国剧院（Imperial Theatre）演出一举而成名。此曲后来被无数次地搬上电影屏幕。所谓比津舞（Bequine）是加勒比的尼克岛和圣卢西亚岛上的一种土风舞，类似于狐步舞，也有人说略似伦巴，旋律无比优美动听。

When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
It brings back a memory ever green

I'm with you once more under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine

To live it again is past all endeavor
Except when that tune clutches my heart
And there we are, swearing to love forever
And promising never, never to part

What moments divine, what rapture serene
Till clouds come along to disperse the joys we had tasted
And now when I hear people curse
The chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean

So don't let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine

Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more, darling, I love you
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine

Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you
Till you whisper to me once more, darling, I love you
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine
When they begin the beguine
