Your Song
cover: Elton John
歌词:
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
说来有点好笑,这内心的感觉
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
我不是容易隐藏情绪的人
I don't have much money but boy if I did
我没有很多钱,但假使我有
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
我会买栋可供我们同住的大房子
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
如果我是雕刻家,虽然我仍然不是
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
或者我是位巡迴演出的魔法师
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
我知道这样不够,但我已尽力
My gift is my song and this one's for you
我的礼物就是这首献给你的歌
And you can tell everybody this is your song
你可以告诉每一个人,这是你的歌
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
它也许简单,但终究已完成
I hope you don't mind
希望你不介意
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
不介意我所写下的歌词
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
世上有了你,人生多美好
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
我坐在屋顶上,脚踢著苔癣
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
为了思考押韵的韵脚,快把我想疯了
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
好在我写这首歌的时候阳光和煦
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
都是因为你的缘故
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
请原谅我的记性,我所做过的事
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
我早已忘记它们的缘由
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
无论如何,我做的一切都是真心的
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
你有一双我见过最美的眼睛
And you can tell everybody this is your song
你可以告诉每一个人,这是你的歌
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
它也许简单,但终究已完成
I hope you don't mind
希望你不介意
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
不介意我所写下的歌词
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
世上有了你,人生多美好
I hope you don't mind
希望你不介意
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
不介意我所写下的歌词
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
世上有了你,人生多美好
原唱试听:
继续翻唱我喜欢的英文老歌。
1967年,20岁还没有姑妈迹象的 Elton John 在报纸上看到一家唱片公司征集歌曲作者的广告。可惜他只会谱曲所以没有通过面试,不过当时面试官递给了他一个信封,里面是另一位应征者写的歌词,而这位17岁的 Bernie Taupin 正好只会写词。
于是两个年轻人趁势开始了合作,其后他们一起创作出了许多脍炙人口的经典歌曲,例如《Rocket Man》和《Candle in the Wind》。而这首1970年发行的《Your Song》就是他们的成名曲。旋律简单却直击人心,歌词细腻真挚,被乐评家誉为一首近乎完美的情歌。
