不会唱歌的诗人写不出好歌词!有些英文歌啊,光是歌词就美的让人心醉。下面这个playlist是英语(精品课)君精选的15首适合学英语听的英文歌,流派虽然混杂,新歌老歌都有,但是每一首的歌词都是可以被编进教科书的水平!
1.Make you feel my love – Bob Dylan
去年刚刚获了诺奖的Dylan老爷子早就说过, “I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet."-我觉得自己首先是个诗人,其次才是音乐家。我像个诗人一样活着,也将以诗人的方式死去。
这首歌可能是诗人Dylan最柔情,最让人心动的告白了。
When the rain is blowing in your face
and the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
to make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
and there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love
当雨滴飘落在你的脸上
全世界都与你为敌
我会给你最温暖的拥抱
让你感受我的爱意
当天色渐晚 星光闪烁
却没人为你拭去泪水
我会让你倚靠万年
让你感受我的爱意
2.You are the sunshine of my life – Stevie Wonder & 小野丽莎
同样是深情告白,Stevie Wonder和小野丽莎对唱的这首歌,更多了一些欢快的甜蜜。其中的金句在不少电影里也有出现:
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart
你是我生命中的阳光
所以我会永远在你身旁
你是我最爱的珍宝
所以你会永远在我心上
3.Moon River – Audrey Hepburn
赫本在《蒂凡尼的早餐》里,坐在窗边自弹自唱的这首歌,真是男人看了都沉默,女人看了会流泪。一代劳模赫本也为了这个片段才去学习演奏吉他。
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
两个流浪者,一起周游四方
有如此宽阔的的世界等着被欣赏
你我追寻同一个彩虹,共同翘首期盼
我的挚友,我的月河,同我一起
4.Heal the world – Michael Jacskon
这首关于爱与和平的作品,在MJ的演绎下深深的印入人心。
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
如果我们努力尝试,终会看到
在这幸福之中,不再有一丝恐惧
我们终将停止虚度生命,开始生活
5.When you believe – Whitney Housdon & Mariah Carey
惠姨和牛姐,两代diva为动画片《埃及王子》献声的作品,不论旋律还是歌词现在看来都堪称经典。
“ There can be miracles when you believe ”
只要你相信 奇迹总会发生
6.Million reasons – Lady Gaga
老鳖Gaga的心碎之作,拿起吉他静静唱民谣的Gaga女士竟然还是魅力十足啊。
“ I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay ”
千万个理由催促我转身离开,
但只要一个好的理由,我便情愿留下
7.Hotel California – Eagles
除了那段经典的吉他solo,《加州旅馆》让人浮想联翩的歌词也是它大获成功的关键。
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
她站在门口等候
我听到教堂钟声
心中暗想
这里不是地狱,便是天堂
8.Can you feel the love tonight – Elton John
《狮子王》主题曲,这首包揽了金球、格莱美和奥斯卡的歌,可能是最经典的动画片主题曲。
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
今夜,你能否感受这爱意?
它长久不息
无论强者或弱者
都在这爱中重获信仰
9.All I ask – Adele
阿呆新砖里最打动人心的好歌!
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?
这是我唯一的乞求
如果今夜是最后的一夜
请将我像爱人一样拥入怀中
让我心存挂念
像爱人一样最后挽起我的手
分离也弥足珍贵
因为这或许是我最后的爱恋
10.My heart will go on – Celine Dion
“You jump, I jump.” 最勇敢的爱情诗
You're here
There's nothing I fear
And I know
That my heart will go on
Well stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
你若在此
我便无所畏惧
我早已知道
我心永恒
这爱将永垂不朽
因为你在我心上 安然无恙
我的爱也永不停歇
11.Midnight train to Georgia – Gladys Knight & the Pips
这首金曲在不少美剧中都有出现,歌词讲述了太多人的故事。
He's leaving on that midnight train to Georgia
Said he's going back to find a simpler place and time
I'll be with him on that midnight train to Georgia
I'd rather live in his world, than live without him in mine
他将乘午夜列车回到Georgia
回到那纯真年代
我会与他同行
我宁愿活在他的世界
而不愿在我的世界失去他
12.Last Christmas – Wham!
这首圣诞神曲,每年节日期间都会在大街小巷上听到,也被无数歌手翻唱(墙裂推荐A妹Ariana Grande的版本)
副歌短短几句,讲完了一个心碎的故事
然而更让人心碎的是,原唱George Michael创作了这首红遍宇宙的圣诞歌曲,他本人却在去年圣诞节当天去世。
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
去年圣诞 我把心托付给你
你却在次日就狠狠抛弃
今年 我不愿再以泪洗面
这份爱将会被人珍惜
13.You must love me – Madonna
Madonna在音乐剧《Evita》(贝隆夫人)中演唱的歌曲。
贝隆夫人病入膏肓,时日已不多。先前已宣布退出政坛,不再作为一国之母出现在公众面前,回归一个女人身份。想到当年叱咤风云,远大抱负还未实现,不禁黯然神伤。此时一个女人最怕失去的就是爱,所以唱出了这段心声。
What do we do for our dream to survive
How do we keep all our passions alive
As we used to do
Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away
You must love me
我们该如何像从前一样
延续梦想
保持热情不灭
我内心封存
渴望破口而出的话
我不敢坦言所感
怕极了你会转身溜走
你要爱我如初
14.Winter things – Ariana Grande
A妹的声音甜起来真是让人全身酥麻!这首“傲娇女子假装跟男友过冬”的甜蜜告白里,完美的诠释了“老娘就算一个人唱也可以狠狠的撒狗粮”
Ayo, I wanna pretend we're at the North Pole
Turning the heat into an ice cold holiday
Made just for me and my baby
Ooh, ooh
My baby's in town and we're gonna do some winter things
想要假装跟你一起在北极过冬
打开暖炉,就像是在冰冻三尺的节日
只为我和你而庆祝的节日
我的宝贝回来了,我们要一起傻傻过冬
15.What a wonderful world – Louis Armstrong
最后一首,留给永远的经典,大自然的赞歌!
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
我看到绿树成群 我看到红玫瑰成片
我看到它们 只为你我而绽放
心中默念 这是个多么美妙的世界
我看到蔚蓝天空 皎洁云朵
神圣的白天和黑夜
心中默念 这是个多么美妙的世界
