中文到底可以有多美,当看见这些英文歌的中文翻译后,才发现中文原来可以如此的扣人心弦。
1. 《if i die young》 中文名:若逝如斯
If I die young bury me in satin
若我英年早逝,请将我葬在绸缎中
Lay me down on a bed of roses
让我躺在铺满玫瑰的床上
Sink me in the river at dawn
在黎明时分将我沉入河中
Send me away with the words of a love song
用情歌中的词句为我送行
2.《Turning Page》
I ve waited a hundred years.
千百时光执著等待
But I d wait a million more for you.
为你,千亿岁月亦心甘情愿
Nothing prepared me for
我不知道如何承受这爱情的攻势
What the privilege of being yours would do.
不知与你相守会带来什么幻梦
If I had only felt the warmth within your touch,
若我所感知仅有你温暖触碰
If I had only seen how you *** ile when you blush,
若我所在乎仅是你娇羞笑颜
Or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough,
若我所注意仅是你专注时抿紧的嘴唇
I would have known what I was living for all along.
你就是我生之意义
What I ve been living for.
我为之生存的一切
3.《Young》
Once when we were young
犹忆青丝少年时
Didnt care at all
郎骑竹马笑猖狂
Wish I could go back
今朝惟愿重年少
Back when we were young
回溯清闺梦里时
Yesterday
往昔历历如昨日
Another moment we let slip away, slip away
白驹过隙不得已
Im here to stay
此时此地
Call me a dreamer but Im wide awake, wide awake
惟愿醒着做梦梦中醒
The only way to know where were headed
不知前途苍茫
Is to never second guess or regret it
亦不复加推测
How far weve come
一路风雨一路尘
4. 《Scarborough Fair》
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
问尔所之,是否如适
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

*** 何在,慰我相思
Tell her to find me on acre of land
嘱彼佳人,营我家室
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Between the salt water and the sea strand
良田所修,大海之坻
Then shell be a true love of mine

5. 《Let Her Go》
Well you only need the light when its burning low
只有在朦胧黯淡时才念及灯火光亮
