november rain

《November Rain》 出自Guns N' Roses在1991年發行的《Use Your Illusion I》。這張專輯是槍花處在巔峰時代的歌曲，搖滾經典歌曲，尤其是MV里Slash拿著他那把Gibsonles paul吉他從教堂出來彈的那段SOLO與結尾段Slash站在Rose彈奏的鋼琴上的SOLO更是讓人們紛紛效仿。至於這首歌經典到什麼地步，你看了MV就知道了。該歌曲在百大搖滾吉他solo(100 Greatest Rock Guitar Solos)中位居第6。

《November Rain》常見的現場演出方式如下（老一代槍花之前）：

Axl.Rose：鋼琴、主音 Slash：主音吉他

Izzy或Gilby：副吉他、尾聲段配唱

Duff：Bass、尾聲段配唱

Matt Sorum：鼓

Dizzy Reed：鍵盤

捲髮大叔：鍵盤

翠西、波：配唱

三人爵士配樂隊：作用未知

除了出現在《Use Your Illusion I》中之外，在之後發行的《Live Era '87-'93 CD 1》中也有《November Rain》，大概是出自92.2.22在東京大巨蛋的現場，後期加工了一下。其他的音頻版本，流傳較廣的有一個純粹鋼琴版的（並非伴奏！）；倫敦愛樂在《Tribute To Guns N' Roses》中管弦樂合奏的《November Rain》；《Learn to Play Guns N' Roses》中的伴奏版（非槍花所錄製）。

另外，網上也有不少關於《November Rain》的視頻。目前比較容易下到的是92年在東京的演唱會、91年在St. Louis的演唱會、November Rain的MV以及長達50多分鐘的MV花絮。

November Rain (十一月的雨)

歌手 Guns N' Roses----槍炮與玫瑰

When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained

每當我注視你的眼眸，能察覺到你的愛有所保留

But darlin' when I hold you' don't you know I feel the same

親愛的你可知道，當我抱著你時，我和你有一樣的擔憂

'Cause nothin' lasts forever and we both know hearts can change

因為一切都有盡頭，沒什麼永垂不朽，而且我們都知道真心也未必永久

And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain

就像在的十一月冰冷的雨里，舉著蠟燭行走，有幾個人能堅持到最後

We've been through this such a long long time

我們已經相守很久很久

just trying to kill the pain

歷經磨難，一次次治癒傷口

But lovers always come and lovers always go

有情人相聚又分手

And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today

誰又有把握哪個會放手哪個會

walking away

轉身走

If we could take the time to lay it on the line

如果我們肯花時間把心事說透

I could rest my head' just knowing that you were mine,All mine

我們就不再擔憂 我們互相擁有

So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain

所以親愛的如果你愛我請不要有顧忌和保留

Or I'll just end up my walking in the cold November rain

否則到最後我只能在十一月冰冷的雨中行走

When even friends seem out to harm you

And when your fears subside and shadows still remain

當你的恐懼消逝　那陰影仍舊存在

我知道，愛依然存在，只是我們必須放棄責備。

So never mind the darkness' we still can find a way
