Stardust is a very difficult song to sing. That evening, in the Royal Cunard Ball, the vocalist Tom Harris made it one of the most memorable moments of this unforgetable QE Baltic Cruise. His voice was more matured than he looked. We hope we can run into him again on the Cunard Queens.
Stardust - Hoagy Carmichael - The original Version was actually a jazz recorded in 1927. It was a one hit wonder that endured through recording by several singers.
Here I organized a translation from RAPZH.com:
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
黄昏紫晕，暮色降临
Steals across the meadows of my heart
悲伤悄然掠过心脾
High up in the sky the little stars climb
繁星高悬，若隐若现
Always reminding me that we're apart
如我们出现在彼此的生命里，一闪聘婷
You wander down the lane and far away
你已远去，了无踪影
Leaving me a song that will not die
徒剩一首歌曲，谨以怀念你
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
爱情于我，已是昨日星尘
The music of the years gone by
往日的旋律依稀
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
时常，我思索
The lonely night dreaming of a song
漫漫长夜，孑然一身
The melody haunts my reverie
我竟任由那首歌曲缭绕于波心
And I am once again with you
让你我重逢在歌声里
When our love was new
我们的爱曾似新生之火
And each kiss an inspiration
每一次亲吻，都迸发炽焰
光阴变幻
But that was long ago
它正如我的爱情，延绵，很长......
Now my consolation
如今，我的慰藉
Is in the stardust of a song
只在这支星尘曲里有迹可循
Beside a garden wall
花园在侧，墙角幽然
When stars are bright
黑夜之上，星空璀璨
You are in my arms
我们相拥相望，你埋头在我的臂膀
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
听着夜莺婉转，唱着童话悠扬
A paradise where roses bloom
我们的伊甸园里玫瑰怒放
Though I dream in vain
想象终会破碎
In my heart it will remain
心却念念不忘
My stardust melody
这支星尘曲，
The memory of love's refrain
是在我记忆里反复穿插的副歌
