華南師范大學外文學院英語系04級學生。喜歡英文,喜歡聽英文歌曲,一首好的英文歌曲不僅讓我學到課文里學不到的知識,更讓我體味到歌者的人生。令我陶醉的不僅僅是動人的旋律,找到每首歌的觸動點,理解每首歌背后的故事才是我最大的享受。除了聽歌還喜歡看看書,聽歌讓我覺得享受,看書讓我覺得充實。
我聽之我見:喜歡Jack
Johnson的音樂,自然、安祥、親切,聽他的歌總能覺得像地中海燦爛的陽光,曬在身上暖洋洋、懶洋洋,有一種慵懶、隨性、舒服的自在感。Jack
Johnson擅長創(chuàng)作氣氛好、感覺對的音樂,簡單的空心吉他搭配他溫煦柔和的嗓音,仿佛就是Jack
Johnson音樂的全部,讓人感覺輕松而舒適……
Lyrics
Do you
remember
by Jack Johnson
Do you remember by Jack Johnson
Do you remember when we first met? I sure
do
It was some time in early September
You were lazy about it, you made
me wait around
I was so crazy about you, I didn't mind
So I was late for class, I locked my bike to yours
It wasn't hard to find, you painted flowers on
I guess that I was
afraid that if you rolled away
You might not roll back my direction really
soon
But I was crazy about you then and now
The craziest thing of all, over
ten years have gone by
And you're still mine, we're locked in time
Let's
rewind
Do you remember when we first moved in together?
The piano took up the
living room
You played me boogie-woogie I played you love songs
You'd
say we're playing house now you still say we are
We built our getaway up in a tree we found
We felt so far away but we
were still in town
Now I remember watching that old tree burn down
I
took a picture that I don't like to look at
Well all these times they come and go
And alone don't seem so long
Over ten years have gone by
We can't rewind, we're locked in time
But you're still mine
Do you remember?

中文歌詞
曾記否
曾記我們初見?如今依然歷歷在目
那是在九月上旬
你懶得理我,我卻一旁癡傻等待
我為你如此瘋狂,所以我不介意
為你我上課遲到,我把我倆的自行車鎖在一起
找到你的車一點兒都不難,因為你在上面畫了花兒
我想當時你若溜走
也許就不會再讓我為你癡迷
但我無時無刻不為你瘋狂
最瘋狂的是十余年已經過去
而你還是我的,我們的愛情定格成永恒
讓我們再回到從前
曾記我們初次在同一屋檐下
鋼琴占據了整個臥室
你為我彈布吉伍吉爵士樂,我為你彈情歌
你曾說我們在玩過家家,現在你仍這么認為
我們在樹上搭建小屋享受度假風情
我們覺得雖生活于塵世卻遠離塵世
現在我仍記那老樹燃盡的一幕
當時拍下的照片連我自己都不愿再看
