I fell in love with you watching Casablanca
Back row at the driven show in the flickering light
Popcorn and cokes beneath the stars
Became champagne and caviare
I thought you fell in love with me watching Casablanca
Holding hand neath the paddle fan
In Rick's candle lit cafe
Holding in the shadows from the spots
A rocky moonlight in your arms
Making magic at the movies in you old Chevrolet
Oh a kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
I guess there're many broken hearts in Casablanca
You know I've really been there so I don't know
I guess our love story will never be seen
On the big wide silver screen
But it hurt just as bad when I had to watch you go
Oh a kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, 'I love you'
On that you can rely ,
No matter what the future brings
As Time Goes By.
Casablanca (卡薩布蘭加)是好萊塢的經典文藝片「北非諜影」的英文片名,也是非洲國家摩洛哥位於西部的一個港埠,也就是這部電影故事發生的所在地。歌詞裡出現多次的 "as time goes by"正是該片著名的主題曲,而"a kiss is not a kiss"(吻已不成吻)也是引用這首主題曲中的一句歌詞。
(A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, 'I love you'
On that you can rely ,
No matter what the future brings
As Time Goes By. )
北非諜影》,又譯作「卡薩布蘭卡(Casablanca,西班牙文原意是「白屋」)」,是一部1942年的美國電影,背景設置在二戰中的摩洛哥城市卡薩布蘭卡(現名「達爾貝達」)。影片由Michael Curtiz導演,劇本是基於Murray Burnett和Joan Alison的還沒有完成的舞臺劇《大家都來里克的酒店》(Everybody Comes to Rick's)改編的。該片被認為不只是一部令人心碎的愛情電影,實際上更是一部不折不扣的民族主義和愛國主義電影。
二戰期間,玩世不恭的美國人里克·布萊恩(Rick Blaine)在卡薩布蘭卡開了一家受到眾人歡迎的亞美利加酒吧,而且擁有兩張寶貴的通行證。亞美利加酒吧是歐洲難民最喜歡去的地方。納粹少校史特勞塞(Strasser)因追蹤捷克地下陣線領導人維克多·拉塞羅(Victor Laszlo)而來到卡薩布蘭卡,當地警察局長雷諾(Renault)竭力取悅納粹少校。故事就在卡薩布蘭卡的里克酒吧展開。里克偶然發現維克多的妻子伊麗莎(Ilsa)竟是自己昔日的摯愛,他們以前曾在巴黎墜入過情網,兩人以前在火車站逃難時失散,臨走前伊爾莎不辭而別,上火車前里克拿到依爾莎不能同行的紙條。
