简单介绍:
Michael Learns To Rock(简称:MLTR)中文翻译名一般为:摇滚麦克或者麦克摇滚。丹麦乐队,1988年的春4人组团,在1991年发行了第一张专辑,第一首单曲是"I still carry on"。 2000年开始变为3人,大部分歌曲都是由Jascha.Richter写。
共有专辑:Michael Learns To Rock、Colours、Played On Pepper、Paint My Love Greatest Hits、Nothing To Lose、Complicated Heart、Greatest Hits、Strange Foreign Beauty、Blue Night 、19 Love Ballads
接触过程:
我97年进入大学,开始喜欢上英文歌,那时听得多的是经典歌曲,有一次,同宿舍同学给我听了一盒磁带,就是那个 Paint My Love Greatest Hits专辑,我听了几分钟,没有大的感觉就还给他了。再过一年吧,我老乡也买了一盒,强烈推荐我听,我才仔细听,喜欢上了,自己买了一盒来详细听。 Paint My Love Greatest Hits是精选前3个专辑的。每一首基本都是好听的。从此喜欢上这个乐队,大学毕业前还买了一个 Paint My Love Greatest Hits的CD和卡拉OK的VCD,我现在电脑里面的mp3就是用这个CD自己高质量压缩的。CD毕业时候送给了同宿舍的同学了。
总体评价:
他们的歌,虽然乐队名有摇滚,其实基本没有摇滚,很多都是柔情爱歌。有摇滚也是软摇滚。歌词用现在的话来说就是比较搞笑点,例如The Actor和25 minutes。歌词比较压韵,基本上通俗易懂,都是一些英语的最基本词汇,没有深奥的词。最出名的歌是that is why(you go away),可能很多人不知道这个乐队,但肯定听过这个歌的,这个歌曲早已进入英文歌曲经典行列。
歌曲赏论:
基本下面歌曲大体以 Paint My Love Greatest Hits专辑里面的歌曲为主,因为那个就是一个精选集。按照歌词、歌词大意、精彩片段和评价来赏论歌曲。本人水平较差,评论也只能简单评论,翻译在尽量贴近原意基础上尽可能美观,不妥地方请大家提出来。

1. That's Why (you go away) 那就是你离开的原因
Baby won't you tell me why there is sadness in your eyes
I don't wanna say goodbye to you
Love is one big illusion I should try to forget
but there is something left in my head
You're the one who set it up now you're the one to make it stop
I'm the one who's feeling lost right now
Now you want me to forget every little thing you said
but there is something left in my head
Chorus:
I won't forget the way you're kissing
The feeling's so strong were lasting for so long
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
That's why you go away I know
You were never satisfied no matter how I tried
Now you wanna say goodbye to me
Love is one big illusion I should try to forget
but there is something left in my head
Sitting here all alone in the middle of nowhere
Don't know which way to go
There ain't so much to say now between us
There ain't so much for you
There ain't so much for me anymore
歌词大意:
宝贝,你何不告诉我,为何你的眼中充满了忧伤
我不想向你道别
爱情是巨大的错觉,我应该试着忘却
但有些事在我脑海中萦绕不去
是你曾经让一切开始,现在你要让一切结束
此刻,我是那个感到失落的人
你要我忘掉你说过的每一件事
但有些事在我脑海中萦绕不去
我忘不了你接吻的方式
这感觉太强烈,持续恒久
但我不是你心陶醉的男人
我知道那就是你离去的原因
不管我多努力,你总是不满足
如今你跟我说再见
爱情是巨大的错觉,我应该试着忘却
但有些事在我脑海中萦绕不去
独自枯坐在虚无中
不知该何去何从
如今我俩已没什么好说的
你没什么话要说
我也没什么话好说
精彩片段和评价:
此歌经典,失恋找原因,发现原因是她并非陶醉于他,所以不论他怎么做,她都不满意。看来是单恋,他爱她而她不爱他。You're the one who set it up now you're the one to make it stop由此看出她在他心目中的地位。注意每一段最后都是but there is something left in my head,记忆留存。无法挽回,所以Sitting here all alone in the middle of nowhere,感觉到虚无,你我都无话可说。
此歌是乐队最出名的,可以在很多的英文歌曲CD中找到这个歌。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. 25 Minutes 25分钟
After some time I've finally made up my mind
she is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I'm searching everywhere to find her again
to tell her I love her
and I'm sorry bout the things I've done
I find her standing in front of the church
the only place in town where I didn't search
She looks so happy in her weddingdress
but she's crying while she's saying this
Chorus:
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but
this is twentyfive minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry your are
twentyfive minutes too late
Against the wind I'm going home again
wishing me back to the time when we were more than friends
But still I see her in front of the church
the only place in town where I didn't search
She looked so happy in her weddingdress
but she cryed while she was saying this
Chorus
Out in the streets
places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat
inside my head
still I can hear the words she said
Chorus
I can still hear her say……
歌词大意:
经过一段时间,我终于下定决心
她就是我想与她白天偕老的女孩
我到处搜寻,希望再次找到她
告诉她我爱她
我对我所做过的一切非常抱歉
我发现她站在教堂前面
那是镇上我唯一没有寻找的地方
她身着婚纱,看起来很开心
但是她哭了,当说这些话的时
男孩,我一直没有得到你的吻,
但是一切都迟了,只是25分钟
虽然你走了这么远
但是抱歉,男孩
你迟了25分钟
迎着风,我再次回家
希望我们回到比朋友更亲密的时刻
但是我仍然看到她站在教堂前面
那是镇上我唯一没有寻找的地方
她身着婚纱,看起来很开心
但是她哭了,当说这些话的时
走在街上
饥渴的心在这找不到依托
头脑中还在浮现她的话语
我仍然能听到她在说……
精彩片段和评价:
此歌可以说是第二出名的了。歌词写得很戏剧性。下定决心,全城找她,唯独教堂例外,找到时发现她在结婚,她说如果25分钟前到我还是你的。呵呵,过了这村就没有那个店了,找遍全城做的全部都是无用功。由the only place in town where I didn't search可想男的懊丧,女的结婚也不见得内心快乐,She looked so happy in her weddingdress,but she cryed while she was saying this,不过木已成舟。珍惜眼前的爱情和爱人,不要等失去才后悔,该出手时就出手。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. The Actor 伪装者
He takes you out and he takes you up
'cause he can show you so much
I go to bed and tomorrow again
there's a lot of work to be done
He gives you gold and he'll promise you
the whole world will be yours
I just can tell you I love you so
even though my odds are low
Chorus:
I'm not an actor I'm not a star
and I don't even have my own car
But I'm hoping so much you'll stay
that you will love me anyway
The dirty games and the neonshows
this is the world he knows
Watching the stars satisfies my soul
thinking of him makes me feel so cold
The fancy cars and the restaurants
you're just so fond of the man
Sometimes I wonder if you are blind
can't you see, he’s got dirt on his mind
歌词大意:
他带你出去和逗得你很高兴
因为他能给你这么多
我爬上床睡觉,明天又是同样的一天
还有很多工作等着我
他给你金子和许诺你
整个世界将会是你的
我只能对你说我爱你
甚至我的工资是很低
我既不是一个伪装者也不是一个明星
我甚至没有自己的汽车
但我多希望你会留下来
你会不管怎么样都爱我
肮脏游戏和霓虹景色
这就是他知道的世界
看星星我都内心感觉满足
一想到他,我感觉到很冷
那么多的眩彩汽车和酒店
你是如此着迷于那个男人
有时候我在想你是不是瞎了眼
难道你看不出他内心已很肮脏
精彩片段和评价:
同样是一个失恋的歌曲,此时关乎物质了,珠光宝玉是那么美好,她是如此着迷。这个歌妙在于做了不同比较,选取的都是细节。可以看出男主人翁对她的深情,还对她的回心转意抱有希望。第一句takes you out and he takes you up很压韵。Watching the stars satisfies my soul,thinking of him makes me feel so cold也很压韵。
其实现在看起来也不能不考虑钱的问题,我就是高中时候看了鲁迅写的《伤逝》后,深深感受到婚姻不能不考虑物质基础,正如她们说的:贫贱夫妻白事哀,不能只嫁给爱情。有一点道理。不好意思,我不是一个爱情至上的人,在这里对这个歌提出了一个不协调的意见。钱阿钱。金钱不是万能,但没有钱万万不能。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Paint My Love 缤纷我爱
From my youngest years
till this moment here
I've never seen
such a lovely queen
From the skies above
to the deepest love
I've never felt
crazy like this before
Chorus:
Paint my love
you should paint my love
it's the picture of a thousand sunsets
it's the freedom of a thousand doves
Baby you should paint my love
Been around the world
then I met you girl
It's like coming home
to a place I've known
Since you came into my life
the days before all fade to black and white
Since you came into my life
Everything has changed
歌词大意:
从我年轻时候开始一直到现在
我从未看到一个如此可爱的女王
从天空的最高处到最深处的爱
我感觉到以前从未像现在这么疯狂
彩绘我的爱
你应该彩绘我的爱
它是一千个日落的图片
它是一千个鸽子的自由
宝贝,你应该彩绘我的爱
找遍这个世界,我遇到女孩你
感觉好像回家,回到一个我似曾相识的地方
自从你来到我的生活
以前的所有日子都变成黑白
自从你来到我的生活
所有事情都改变了
精彩片段和评价:
歌名有翻译成:“彩绘吾爱”,表面看只是说“绘我的爱”,不过歌词里面有一句,“since you came into my life,the day before all fade to black an white”,“自从你来到我的生活,以前日子都变成黑白的”。所以歌名“彩绘吾爱”是有一定道理的。不过我还是觉得“缤纷我爱”更美。
一个情书。美。疯狂。推荐大家听另外一个经典的英文歌《I'd Love You To Want Me》(我希望你要我),也是同样感觉,不过比这个要出名。
这个歌曲旋律有一个很不同于别的歌的地方是:开头没有前奏,一开始便是唱。在第一节结束时候有一个音符很美丽,声音逐渐降弱,给人家感觉就是声音越来越远,一直飘到天外。好像一个悠扬的笛声、雁声。
It's like coming home,to a place I've known.回家的感觉很好,回到一个似曾相识的地方。Since you came into my life,the days before all fade to black and white。突然的变化,她的到来令人耳目一新,以前日子黯然失色。Since you came into my life,Everything has changed。整个世界都变了。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. I Still Carry On 我在坚持
I'm lying in the sun
longing for a place in the shadow
I'm lying in the snow
longing for a place by the fire
And when I beg you for water
you just drink the water yourself
And when I reach my hand to you
you just turn your face away
But even though the cold from your still beating heart
already killed me twice
And even though the cold in your eyes
makes me freeze all the time
Chorus:
I still carry on and
I still walk around and
I still feel the warming glow
shining somewhere in the future
shining not so far away
I'm climbing up the mountain
mountain of society
But every time I reach the top
you just push me down again
And when I look around me
I can see I'm not alone
There are a lot of people around
climbing mountains next to me
歌词大意:
我躺在阳光下,渴望一个地方可以遮阴
我躺在雪花下,渴望一个地方可以烤火
当我向你要水,你独自一人喝水
当我向你伸手,你转过了你的脸
甚至从你热跳的内心散出来的冷已经把我杀死两遍
甚至从你冷漠的眼光一直让我冰冻
我在攀登高峰——社会之峰
但我每次到达最高处,
你把我又推下去
我环顾四周
我看到我并不孤独
有很多人在我后面爬山
精彩片段和评价:
励志之歌,很多年前听了《I believe i can fly》(凯利R-Kelly),觉得很不错,这个歌也可以。Michael Jackson的《you are not alone》和这个有一点相同,人并不孤独,不管怎么样,都是社会里面的人,身边不会少了人的支持。
But even though the cold from your still beating heart already killed me twice,And even though the cold in your eyes makes me freeze all the time。这两句听起来感觉很冷。But every time I reach the top,you just push me down again。这个是很残酷的行为。
坚持就是胜利,做人要靠自己。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Sleeping Child 熟睡男孩
The Milky Way upon the heavens
is twinkling just for you
and Mr. Moon he came by
to say goodnight to you
I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother
We're praying for the world
and for the people everywhere
gonna show them all we care
Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
but you've build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
If all the people around the world
they had a mind like yours
we'd have no fighting and no wars
there would be lasting peace on Earth
If all the kings and all the leaders
could see you here this way
they would hold the Earth in their arms
they would learn to watch you play
Chorus
I'm gonna cover my sleeping child
Keep you away from the world so wild
歌词大意:
银河系在天堂上为你闪烁
月亮先生进来对你说晚安
我为你和母亲歌唱
我们在为世界和为任何地方的人祈祷
向他们表明我们在乎他们
哦,我的熟睡男孩,这个世界如此野蛮
但你建立起你自己的伊甸园
那是我为你遮挡的一个原因
假如这个世上的人他们有像你那样的心
我们不会有战火
这个地球将会有持久的和平
假如所有的国王和领导者能看到你现在这个样子
他们会将把地球握在他们手里
他们将学会看你玩耍
我将遮挡你,我的熟睡男孩
让你远离这个野蛮世界
精彩片段和评价:
慈善之歌。一个反战歌曲。看到这里,想起来了去年伊拉克战争时候的一个照片被评为年度最佳照片,就是铁丝网后一个战俘父亲坐在地上在安抚他儿子。
战争是大人的游戏,与孩子无关。大人的游戏破坏为主,孩子的游戏好玩为主。虽然从唯物主义角度来看战争有时候是不可避免的,但应该尽量避免。
I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother这一句很排比压韵。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. How Many Hours 多少岁月
Mothers giving birth to a little son
crying in the rain of falling bombs
Father he is young but deep and wise
You see the fighter inside his eyes
Hold me cover my sight
This is no paradise
Don′t show me the evil sides of the world
Chorus:
How many hours and how many days
love is just slipping away
How many seasons and how many years in tears
How many centuries and how many lives in fear
People selling flowers like nothing's going on
turning their backs on a world gone wrong
Children play around I guess they found some wheels
You see them running down the naked fields
歌词大意:
母亲生下小孩
在弹雨中哭泣
父亲是年轻而深沉和聪慧
你看到他眼中的怒火
让我遮盖我的视线
这里没有伊甸园
不要让我看到这个世界罪恶的一面
多少小时和多少日子
爱已经远走
眼泪中多少季节和多少年度
恐惧中多少世纪和多少生活
人们好像虚无的卖鲜花
背对着一个错误的世界
我猜小孩玩耍中找到一些轮子
你看他们跑下了那空旷的田野
精彩片段和评价:
也是一个反战歌曲,这个歌曲曲调缓慢,基本上没有多大的变化。正如一个人在思考时候娓娓道来一样,是一个控诉。同样,这样也有涉及到小孩,在很多歌曲里面小孩是代表希望,这里也是。曾经有过和平,为什么现在没有?!
歌词从hours到days到seasons到years到centuries,时间长度上不断延伸。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Out Of The Blue 走出忧郁
I was almost about to lose my faith
Was still dreaming but feared it was too late
But then you came along to my surprise
and stole my heart before my very eyes
Chorus:
You took me right out of the blue
simply by showing that you love me too
only by giving me your everything
with a love so true you took me out of the blue
I was wondering what love was all about
I was trying but couldn't work it out
But then you came along to my surprise
and made my frozen mind come alive
You let me out of the darkness
you brought me out in the sun
I think you must be the only one for me
'cause you took me Right out of the blue
歌词大意:
我差不多将要丧失了信心
仍然在梦想但害怕它太迟
但这时你在我的惊奇中走近我
就在我的眼前偷去我的心
你真正带我走出了忧郁
仅仅通过表明你也爱我
仅仅通过给我你的所有
通过如此一个真爱,你带我走出忧郁
我在考虑爱是什么
我在努力但不能得出结果
但这时你在我的惊奇中走近我
让我的冰冻的心再度复活
你让我走出黑暗
你带我走进阳光
我想你应该就是我的唯一
因为你真正带我走出忧郁
精彩片段和评价:
同样一个情歌,爱能带来阳光。忧郁会杀死人。她好像耶稣基督一样,带来了阳光和天堂。带他走出了地狱般的忧郁。偷去他的心,冰冻的心再度复活。I think you must be the only one for me,'cause you took me Right out of the blue。点出了这个歌的最关键:这样的女孩就是打开锁的那把唯一钥匙。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Breaking The Rules 打破常规
On the street you are listening to every beat of your heart
Want to know if it's working and you're still alive
On your feet you are walking around with your clothes torn apart
In a nightmare where the question is how to survive
In this dangerous land
I'm trying the best that I can
to be a respectable man
So won't you listen won't you listen to me
Chorus:
I'm breaking the law if you don't give me more than public attention
I'm breaking the rules gonna act like a fool
On the street you are looking so hard for a place for the night
All you want is understanding of your basic rights
I'm breaking the law if you don't give me more than public attention
I'm breaking the rules gonna act like a fool
I'm crossing the line if you don't give me time on your television
I've got something to say don't push me away
歌词大意:
在大街上你正在聆听你的心的每次心跳
想知道是否它还在工作和你是否还活着
你用双脚不停走着路,衣服扯开着
在恶梦中的问题是怎样活下来
在这危险的土地
我努力做到最好
想做一高尚的人
因此为何你不听,为何你不听我说
我将触犯法律,假如你不给我比公众多些注意
我在打破常规,行为举止越来越像是一个疯子
在大街上你如此困难的寻找一个地方过夜
所有你想的是明白你的基本权力
我将触犯法律,假如你不给我比公众多些注意
我将打破常规,行为举止越来越像是一个疯子
我将超越警戒线,假如你不给我在你的电视上出现多点时间
我有一些事要说别推我开去
精彩片段和评价:
一个关心弱势群体的歌。听歌名Breaking The Rules很容易让人家认为是一个疯狂爱歌。青年人的反叛心理很严重的,为了观众的注意力,为了出位,不怕触犯法律。
这个歌听起来有一个很重的摇滚味道,好像是炼铁时候的一下一下的敲打声音。也有点感觉到摩托车发动时的声音。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Love Will Never Lie 爱从不说谎
Nothing can stop emotions that run down the sides of your face
Wish i could change this moment to another time and place
Nothing you say can move me
I've chosen the road that I'm on
I have to join the fight for freedom
until the war is won
Chorus:
We will keep the faith between us
if we only try
We will keep the truth inside us
love will never lie
Someone will always hear you,Care about you when you cry
But no one can hear my heart is breaking as I say goodbye
歌词大意:
没有东西能制止从你脸颊滑下来的情绪
希望我能改变这个时刻到另外一个时空
你说的没有能打动我
我已经选择了我要走的路
我必需加入争取自由的战斗
一直到战争结束
我们将保持我们之间的信心
只要我们去尝试
我们将保持我们之间的真相
爱从不说谎
当你哭的时候,某人将常听你说、关心你
但在我说再见时,没有人听到我的心碎了
精彩片段和评价:
应该是一个爱人分别时的歌。男的要去参加为自由的战斗。男的比女的心更碎。Someone will always hear you,Care about you when you cry。But no one can hear my heart is breaking as I say goodbye。写出了男的悲凉的心理。心碎有谁听。弦断有谁继。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Complicated Heart 纷乱的心
Don't know what to say now
don't know where to start
I don't know how to handle a complicated heart
You tell me you are leaving
but I just have to say,before you throw it all away
Chorus:
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
if you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain
Don't know what you're thinking
to me it seems quite tough
to hold a conversation when words are not enough
so this is your decision
and there's nothing I can do
I can only say to you
歌词大意:
不知道该说些什么
不知道从那里开始
我不知道怎么触摸一颗复杂的心
你告诉我你要离开
但我在你抛下它前,只是想说
甚至假如你想独自离开
我将会在你回家时等你
如果你需要某人来安抚伤痛
你可以靠向我,我爱将仍在
不知道你在想些什么
对我它看起来很粗暴
开展一个会谈,当话语不多时候
所以这就是你的决定
我做什么都于事无补
我只能对你说......
精彩片段和评价:
同样是一个失恋的歌。这个没有多涉及到原因,只是描写了分手时候的无奈以及关心对方。表达了爱仍然在,爱一直在为你守候。
整个歌旋律缓慢,适合深夜聆听,没有过多的责备,有的只是眼中含泪的关怀。避风港永远为心爱的你敞开。
MLTR乐队和air supply乐队一样,擅长写失恋方面的歌曲。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Breaking My Heart 伤透我心
I'm on the floor
counting one minute more
Noone to break the silence
Staring into the night
all alone but that's alright
It's the feeling deep inside I don't like
Chorus:
There is no excuse my friend for breaking my heart
breaking my heart again
This is where our journey ends
You're breaking my heart again
Here in my bed
counting the words you've said
They linger in the shadows
Coming home late at night
drunk again but that's alright
It's the look in your eyes I don't like
歌词大意:
我躺在地上
一分一分的数着时间
没有人打破静寂
凝视月晚
一切都是孤单,不过那是对的
我不喜欢那种深处感觉
朋友,对伤透我心不存在解释
再度伤透了我心
我们的旅程到此为止
你再度伤透了我的心
躺在床上
数着你对我说过的话语
它们徘徊在阴影里
深夜回到家
再度又喝酒,不过那是对的
我不喜欢你看我的那种眼光
精彩片段和评价:
分手之歌,是对朋友的分手之歌,可以听得出对方对他的伤害有多大。君子绝交而无怨言。这里描写的是分手后一个人单独思考、回想的情况。
开头的鼓声很单调,显出一个孤单气氛出来。歌曲的节拍也很单调。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Wild Women 狂野女人
Can I act like an angel if I live like a jerk
Can I keep on disguising
Can I make believe that I don't deceive
No..no..no
Chorus:
Send the wild women out the backdoor
My wife is knocking at the frontdoor
They made me a winner they made me a sinner
I don't know what to do
Dirty money in the left hand
While the preacher’s shaking my right hand
They made me a winner they made me a sinner
I don’t know what to do
When I'm riding on top of the wave of success
Will I lose my devotion
Will I fail to see what I used to be
oh..oh..oh
I'll have to carry on as two persons in one
歌词大意:
我能否扮得好像天使,假如我愚笨的生活
我能否保持隐瞒
我能否让人相信我没有欺骗
不...不...不
把狂野女人送出后门
我老婆正在前门敲门
她们让我成为一个胜利者和罪人
我不知该怎么办
左手是肮脏的钱
此时教父在拉我的右手
她们让我成为一个胜利者和罪人
我不知该怎么办
当我驾驽在成功的浪尖时
我是否应该失去我的忠诚
我是否该看不到我的以前
哦...哦...哦
我将不得不继续将两人合为一
精彩片段和评价:
这个是一个婚外恋的故事。Send the wild women out the backdoor,My wife is knocking at the frontdoor。他正在思考怎么办,受到了良心的谴责。内心感觉到是一个胜利者同时也觉得是一个罪人。最后是不得结果,没有办法,继续下去。
很少有歌说到婚外恋的故事。
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. Someday 某天
In my search for freedom and peace of mind
I've left the memories behind
Wanna start a new life
but it seems to be rather absurd
when I know the truth is that I always think of you
Chorus:
Someday someway
together we will be baby
I will take and you will take your time
We'll wait for our fate,cos' nobody owns us baby
We can shake we can shake the rock
Try to throw the picture out of my mind
try to leave the memories behind
Here by the ocean,wave's carry voices from you
Do you know the truth I am thinking of you too
The love we had together just fades away in time
And now you've got your own world
and I guess I've got mine
But the passion that you planted in the middle of my heart is a passion that will never stop
歌词大意:
在我寻找我心的自由与和平时
我已经抛下记忆
想开始一个新的生活
但这看起来相当荒唐
那是因为我知道事实是我经常想到你
某天,某些方式
我们会一起成为宝贝
我将带走你,同时带走你的时光
我们将等来我们的命运,因为没有人拥有我们,宝贝
我们能摇动我们,能摇滚起来
尝试把图景抛出我的心思
尝试把记忆抛在后面
在这个大海旁边,海浪带来你的声音
你知道事实是我也在想你
我们拥有过的爱马上褪色
现在你已有了自己的世界
我想我也有我的
但你种在我的心中的激情将永不停息
精彩片段和评价:
英文歌里面有很多首《someday》。这个歌也是关于爱情的,站在大海边对分手的情人念念不忘。这个歌并没有一个颓废的思想,而是一个激仰的。分手不代表就要抛弃一切,忘记一切,记住也是一个好的方式。
比较好听的是最后一段。此时背景音乐声音不强,突出了演唱。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. Crazy Dream 疯狂遐想
The party's on the room is crowded
your conversation is so polite
And when you dance you keep your distance
noone's gonna walk you home tonight
You're searching for perfect love you dreamed of when you were young
you'll find it or you won't have anyone
Chorus:
Why not forget your crazy dream about a love that can't exist
'Coz while you dream so much you miss
you waste a lifetime
Just take a look below the surface
his golden hair will be turning grey
Though in your mind you pictured heaven
even heaven has a rainy day
No one can touch a dream
so forever you've been on your own
you're older and you are still all alone
Why don't you take a look around
not everyone has settled down
But you still think you're seventeen
It's a crazy dream
So take a chance and take your shot
No paradise but it's all we've got
and I will try to make your dream come true
歌词大意:
房间里的晚会很热闹
你的话语是如此有礼
当你跳舞时你保持距离
今晚没有人会送你回家
你在寻找你还年轻时梦想的完美的爱
你要找到它,否则你不管任何人
为什么不忘记你的一个不存在的关于爱的疯狂梦想
因为你梦想时候你失去很多
你浪费一生时间
请透过表面看一下
他的金头发会变成灰色
虽然你心中想象天堂
甚至天堂也是有雨天
没有人能触摸一个梦想
你老是保持独身
你老了,你还是独自一人
为什么你不看一下周围
每个人都安家了
你仍以为你还是17岁
它是一个疯狂的梦想
所以把握机会和开始行动
没有伊甸园,但我们有的是行动
我将努力让你的梦想成真
精彩片段和评价:
这个是关于一个爱情完美主义者的批评。人不能生活在梦想里面。现实就是现实。为什么对现实抱那么多的期望。接受不完美的对方,没有一个人是完美的,不过可以朝完美的方向发展。老是等待,世界上很多事情就是在等待中真的变成永远等待了。该出手时就出手。浪漫有时候会害死人。
But you still think you're seventeen你仍以为你还是17岁,这句话是很伤女人心的,现实生活中千万不能说。

16. You Took My Heart Away 你带走我心
Staring at the moon so blue
Turning all my thoughts to you
I was without hopes or dreams
I tried to dull an inner scream but you saw me through
Walking on a path of air
See your faces everywhere
As you melt this heart of stone
you take my hand to guide me home and now I'm in love
Chorus:
You took my heart away when my whole world was gray
You gave me everything and a little bit more
And when it's cold at night and you sleep by my side
you become the meaning of my life
Living in a world so cold
you are there to warm my soul
You came to mend a broken heart
You gave my life a brand new start and now I'm in love
Holding your hand
I won't fear tomorrow
Here were we stand
we'll never be alone
歌词大意:
忧郁的凝视月亮
所有思绪转向你
我曾经没有希望和梦想
我尝试抑制我内心的尖叫,但你看穿我
在空气中漫步
四处看到你的脸
你融化这个石头心
你牵我的手回家,我现在坠入爱河
当我的世界灰白时,你带走了我的心
你给我比所有一切还要多
当寒夜你躺在我身边时
你变成我生命的意义所在
生活在一个如此冷漠的世界
你温暖了我的心
你来安抚一颗破碎的心
你给了我生命一个新的开始,我现在坠入爱河
握着你的手
我不会惧怕明天
我们站在一起
我们将不会孤独
精彩片段和评价:
一个爱歌,不过这个是一个很平缓的,不看歌词还以为是在说忧郁的内心。
You gave me everything and a little bit more这个句子很好,但这个不好翻译。you become the meaning of my life你变成我生命的意义,一生的意义就在于你。
