Paul Mauriat《The Fool》
Gilbert Montagne1951年生於巴黎，
由於早產被置放在保育箱內，
一個疏忽的意外，
過多的氧氣使他的視網膜脫落，
一生都是弱視的人。
他在法國頗負盛名，
是一位鋼琴、爵士樂以及搖滾樂大師。
最近(2014年九月份)盛傳這位巨星逝世，
其後才發覺那只是一個謠言。

Gilbert Montagne《The Fool》
No, no don't let me play the fool,
I can't really love you by the rules
For my love is sweet and free
No, no don't let me play the fool,
For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel,
Can't you see it isn't me.
What you ask of me is just to be your clown,
Someone you can lead about and show around,
Why make of our love a children's puppet show
Can't I simply love you in the way I know,
What I ask of you is not to turn away,
Listen to the words that i'm trying to say,
Our love could be a new adventure ev'ry day,
Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you.
No, no don't let me play the fool,
I can't really love you by the rules
For my love is sweet and free
No, no don't make me play the fool,
For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel,
Can't you see it isn't me.
All I want from you is a little sympathy
Try to understand what it would be for me
All my hopes and dreams would now be bound and tied
Any hope of freedom would have surely died,
I want to know that I can fall in love again
And be sure that my love will never not restrain
So please just let me love you in the way I know,
Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you.
No, no don't let me play the fool,
I can't really love you by the rules
For my love is sweet and free
No, no don't make me play the fool,
For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel,
Can't you see it isn't me...
I can't really love you by the rules
For my love is sweet and free
No, no don't let me play the fool,
For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel,
Can't you see it isn't me.
What you ask of me is just to be your clown,
Someone you can lead about and show around,
Why make of our love a children's puppet show
Can't I simply love you in the way I know,
What I ask of you is not to turn away,
Listen to the words that i'm trying to say,
Our love could be a new adventure ev'ry day,
Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you.
No, no don't let me play the fool,
I can't really love you by the rules
For my love is sweet and free
No, no don't make me play the fool,
For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel,
Can't you see it isn't me.
All I want from you is a little sympathy
Try to understand what it would be for me
All my hopes and dreams would now be bound and tied
Any hope of freedom would have surely died,
I want to know that I can fall in love again
And be sure that my love will never not restrain
So please just let me love you in the way I know,
Cause I love you, love you, love you, love you.
No, no don't let me play the fool,
I can't really love you by the rules
For my love is sweet and free
No, no don't make me play the fool,
For this thing you ask oh ! it's so cruel,
Can't you see it isn't me...
在法國《The Fool》是一首膾炙人口的作品，
巧合地法國四大輕音樂團全都曾演繹過此曲，
各自各精彩，口味各有不同，
難分高下。但若以古典風格演繹流行曲，
最具有古典味的應該屬於 Raymond Lefevre
Raymond Lefevre《The Fool》
Franck Pourcel 《The Fool》
Caravelli 《The Fool》
最反傳統，最隱藏的爵士演繹
