月亮河,1961年由JohnnyMercer作词,HenryMancini作曲的歌曲。该曲出自奥黛丽•赫本(AudreyHepburn)主演的电影《第凡内早餐》,并荣获奥斯卡最佳歌曲奖与最佳配乐奖,皆由亨利•曼西尼领取。该曲之成功意味着曼西尼作曲生涯的再出发:因1950年代中期摇滚乐取代爵士标准曲成为当代流行音乐而陷入困顿之中。
最初,墨瑟与曼西尼作了这首歌曲以配合女主角赫本有限的歌喉音域(赫本既非熟练,亦非正式歌手)。《月亮河》一曲由赫本演唱:该片段中,乔治•派伯(GeorgePeppard)饰演的角色保罗•“弗瑞德”•马杰(Paul'Fred'Varjak)发现荷莉•葛莱莉(HollyGolightly,赫本饰演)坐在公寓外的火灾逃生梯旁手弹吉他,吟唱该曲。
虽然原版电影配乐专辑《第凡内早餐》已发行,但未收录赫本的原创版本。相反的,一张由曼西尼与他的合唱团灌录的专辑版本中倒是将此演唱作单曲并成为热门音乐40名榜主打歌曲。
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
(Moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
