非英語專業,愛好英語,經常聽英文歌,看美劇,借這個機會分享好聽的英文歌,每天一首,釋義重點詞彙,說說我對歌曲的理解。
今天和大家分享的英文歌是
Lana Del Rey的《young and beautiful》
歌曲背景
作為電影《了不起的蓋茨比》的主題音樂,少不了深沉幽嘆的音樂基調,歌曲從電影女主角黛西的角度出發,雖然被愛人深愛著,繁華落盡,她問他:當我不再年輕美麗,你是否會愛我如初?當我一無所有遍體鱗傷只剩空虛的靈魂,你是否還會愛我如初?然後她自言自語,強調三遍:是的,你會愛我。是的,你還愛我。是的,你始終愛我。
看過歌曲MV的朋友一定會被一種簡單震撼,簡單到整個MV只有演唱者和弦樂隊,通過燈光變幻來營造不同的氛圍,切換鏡頭完成。
MV中,在昏暗的燈光裡演唱者身著深色長裙,只見白皙的臉龐和紅色的嘴唇,眼角幾滴晶瑩的淚珠演繹著盪氣迴腸的愛情,她就像一段愛情的敘述者,將故事娓娓道來。整首歌曲營造的氛圍和基調就如同蓋茨比的愛情,華麗、深沉、悠遠、感傷、遺憾、無可奈何……
歌詞釋義
I've seen the world
Done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant
And Bel Air now
(紙醉金迷,看繁華落盡,早已心生倦意)
Hot summer nights, mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child
(那時的我們年少輕狂,在盛夏的燈光裡玩樂的像個孩子)
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
(當我不再年輕美麗,你是否會愛我如初?當我一無所有遍體鱗傷只剩空虛的靈魂,你是否還會愛我如初?)
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
(我知道你會愛我。我知道你還愛我。我知道,你始終愛我。)
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
I've seen the world, lit it up
As my stage now
Channeling angels in the new age now
(踏遍世界,唱響舞臺,新時代的天使嬌容)
Hot summer days, rock 'n' roll
The way you play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul
(盛夏搖滾,為我獨唱,我只看得到,你美麗的臉龐和充滿生機的靈魂)
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Dear Lord, when I get to heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes tell me that you'll let him in
Father tell me if you can
Oh that grace, oh that body
Oh that face makes me wanna party
He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds
(親愛的上帝,當我進入天堂,請帶上我的愛人與我一起,他來時請告訴我並讓他進來,請告訴我你同意這麼做,他的優雅,他的身體他的面容,都讓我瘋狂,他是我的太陽,讓我如鑽石般閃耀)
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful?
