听歌应该入戏——《That's Why You Go Away》
今天听一首经典老歌,《That's Why You Go Away》。
在网络还不甚发达的年代,Michael Learns To Rock(迈克学摇滚)算是为数不多的被国人熟知的外国乐队之一,他们曾翻唱过张学友的《吻别》,旋律熟悉,歌词易学,是很多人的英文启蒙歌曲。
而这首《That's Why You Go Away》是在1995年发布的原创歌曲,也是被广泛传唱的歌曲之一,歌词也非常简单好记,如果想学一首英文歌的话,这首是个不错的选择。
我记得第一次听到它时,心中有种说不出的悲伤,尤其是唱到“Sitting here all alone in the middle of nowhere,don't know which way to go”,几乎落泪,可能当时对茫然无措的状态太过感同身受,也可能只是听歌听得太入戏了。
歌词如下:
Baby won't you tell me why
宝贝,你不愿告诉我吗
there is sadness in your eyes
为何你的眼中含着伤悲
I don't wanna say goodbye to you
我不想就此与你告别
Love is one big illusion
爱是场华丽错觉
I should try to forget
我该尽力忘却
But there is something left in my head
但有些事还在我脑海,难以挥别
You're the one who set it up
当初一切因你开始
Now you're the one to make it stop
现在一切因你终止
I'm the one who's feeling lost right now
而此刻的我感到深深迷失
Now you want me to forget every little thing you said
现在你要我忘了,你说过的每一件事
But there is something left in my head
但有些事还在我脑海,难以挥别
I won't forget the way you're kissing
我将永生难忘,你是如何与我热吻
The feelings so strong were lasting for so long
那些强烈的感情,曾伴随过如此漫长岁月
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
但我并非那个,你心中正想念的人
That's why you go away I know
我知道,那就是为何你选择离别
You were never satisfied, no matter how I tried
你总是无法满意,无论我如何努力
Now you wanna say goodbye to me
如今你要对我说出再见
Love is one big illusion, I should try to forget
爱是场华丽错觉,我该尽力忘却
But there is something left in my head
但有些事还在我脑海,难以挥别
I won't forget the way you're kissing
我将永生难忘,你是如何与我热吻
The feelings so strong were lasting for so long
那些强烈的感情,曾伴随过如此漫长岁月
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
但我并非那个,你心中正想念的人
That's why you go away I know
我知道,那就是为何你选择离别
Sitting here all alone in the middle of nowhere
孤独地坐在这,仿佛身处无垠荒野
Don't know which way to go
不知该何去何从
There ain't so much to say now between us
现在你我之间,已说不出万语千言
There ain't so much for you
对于你,我的话已不多
There ain't so much for me anymore
对于我,恐怕从此你也唯有沉默
I won't forget the way you're kissing
我将永生难忘,你是如何与我热吻
The feelings so strong were lasting for so long
那些强烈的感情,曾伴随过如此漫长岁月
But I'm not the man your heart is missing
但我并非那个,你心中正想念的人
That's why you go away I know
我知道,那就是为何你选择离别
That's why you go away I know
我知道,那就是为何你选择离别
