Layla  Derek & the Dominoes

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride

*Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
Turned my whole world upside down(*)

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain(*)
蕾 拉  德瑞克 & 骨牌合唱團

當妳寂寞的時候都怎麼辦
而且沒有人等候在妳身旁
妳已經逃避躲藏的太久了
妳知道那只是妳愚蠢的自尊罷了

蕾拉,妳讓我下跪求饒
蕾拉,我求求妳,拜託親愛的
蕾拉,親愛的難道妳不要減輕我的擔心

我試著給妳安慰
當妳的老頭子讓妳失望
像個傻瓜似的,我愛上了妳
我的世界被顛覆的亂七八糟

讓我們充分利用現在的處境
在我精神錯亂之前
請別說我們永遠找不出方法
而且告訴我全部的愛都是白費

 1970 年 Eric Clapton 加入 Derek and the Dominos,宇宙無敵超級偉大專輯" Layla "出現了!這張專輯特別要請 Duane Allman 助陣 。在這張專輯中 Clapton 徹底傾訴了自己對好友George Harrison(披頭四吉他手)之妻 Pattie 的愛意及畸戀中自己的痛苦。

 曠世鉅作" Layla "一曲中,Duane Allman 彈奏 slide guitar,Clapton 嘶喊絕望的歌聲,兩人對飆 solo,到後段氣氛一轉,鋼琴與吉他以優美感傷的旋律收尾。Duane Allman 在不久後因車禍去世,使" Layla "更顯得珍貴," Layla "可說是 Clapton一生中巔峰之作。
