Let It Be钢琴谱
创作背景
1968年年末,披头士放弃了现场表演两年多后,保罗·麦卡特尼渴望乐队重返舞台表演。当年的《White Album》录音环节已经看到队员间一些严重的争论,和续渐催向紧张的关系。麦卡特尼认为乐队因为多年没有作现场演奏,已失去凝聚力。这时麦卡特尼想起来母亲曾说过的一句话:“让一切都随其自然”,于是麦卡特尼开始构思这首歌曲。麦卡特尼母亲的名字叫玛丽,所以他用圣经中耶稣的母亲玛利亚来代指自己的母亲,于是诞生了“Mother Mary comes to me”这句歌词[6-7] 。
1969年1月3日,披头士为了拍摄纪录片《顺其自然》,在特威克南电影制作室首次演唱了该首歌曲,该版本中只有保罗·麦卡特尼的钢琴声和歌声。同月31日,披头士在Apple工作室录制了正式版本
歌曲歌词
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
