最近剛參加空大英妍社-歌唱學英文的社團，希望藉由歌唱中能學習英文。也希望同好一起分享這首Seasons In The Sun。第一堂課的Seasons In The Sun的歌曲是加拿大籍的Terry Jacks/泰瑞傑克斯70年代以一首「Seasons in the Sun/陽光下的季節」成為全球家喻戶曉的歌手，這首1974年的經典冠軍曲，原曲是由比利時創作歌手Jacques Brel/傑克斯布瑞爾，所創作的法文歌-"Le Moribond" (The Dying Man)法文的原意是「臨終的人」。正因當時他得知自己患了癌症，把想對他的父親、好朋友和愛人的臨終遺言寫成這首"Le Moribond"。這支帶有勵志色彩的歌曲，後來經由傑克斯布瑞爾的美籍歌手朋友Rod MaKuen將歌中的故事翻成了英文，才開始在北美流傳。1973年加拿大歌手Terry Jacks/泰瑞傑克斯，把這首法文歌翻唱成英文版的「Seasons in the Sun/陽光下的季節」，除了在加拿大大受歡迎之外，也分別在英、美兩國都登上排行冠軍。而當年國內的柯達軟片也曾使用了這首歌作為廣告配樂，溫情的廣告訴求配合上這首”有故事的歌”溫暖的旋律，讓產品和好歌相得益彰，在電視密集強力曝光後，「Seasons in the Sun/陽光下的季節」也成了當年詢問度最高的電視廣告曲之一。

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B C's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time......
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along.
Goodbye Papa its hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time......

We had joy we had fun

We had seasons in the sun
