听歌学英语:阿黛尔伤感演绎 爱人如你 Someone Like You


Adele，英国独立歌手，格莱美奖宠儿，首位全英音乐奖评审团奖得主。Adele表示自己受美国爵士、蓝调歌手埃塔·詹姆丝与“爵士乐第一夫人”艾拉·费兹洁拉的影响，并形容自己的音乐风格是“心碎的灵魂”(Heartbroken Soul)。英国前首相戈登·布朗曾写信赞美她：“英国现在正遭遇经济困境，而你是黑暗尽头的光芒。”这首《Someone Like You》收录在Adele新专辑《21》中，按照Adele自己的说法，这是一张有着忧郁的布鲁斯、福音和Disco风格的作品。Adele用伤感的声音告诉我们，那些让你铭记的爱情都是带着伤痛的，即使那么多年过去，我们也希望爱过的人依然记得自己。


Someone Like You 爱人如你

I heard, that your settled¹ down.
That you, found a girl and your married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lie.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited.
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over.
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best, for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah.
You know, how the time flies.
Only yesterday, was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summer haze².
Bound³ by the surprise of our glory⁴ days.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited.
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over.
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best, for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Nothing compares, no worries or cares.
Regrets and mistakes they're memories made.
Who would have known⁵ how bittersweet this would taste?
