歌词:Green Sleeves

Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you oh, so long,
Delighting in your company.

Green sleeves was all my joy,
Green sleeves was my delight.
Green sleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady,
Green sleeves.

If you intend to be this way,
It does the more enrapture me.
And even so I still remain
A lover in captivity.

Green sleeves was all my joy,
Green sleeves was my delight.
Green sleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady,
Green sleeves.
Mm Mm...

Green sleeves now farewell adieu,
God I pray will prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,
Come once again and love me

抛弃了我你无义又无情，
我已经爱上你，啊，这么久，
有你陪伴多高兴。

Love Story

Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be,
The sweet love story
That is older than the sea?
The simple truth about the love
She brings to me.
Where do I start?

With her first hello,
She gave a meaning
To this empty world of mine.
There'll never be another love
Another time.
She came into my life
And made the living fine.
She fills my heart.
She fills my heart

With very special things,
With angel songs,
With wild imaginings.
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely.
With her along, who could be lonely?
I reach for her hand.
It's always there.

How long does it last?
Can love be measured
By the hours in a day?
I have no answers now,
But this much I can say:
I know I'll need her
Till the stars all burn away,
And she'll be there.

歌词大意

爱情故事
从何讲述这个故事，
细说爱情是多么伟大，
这甜蜜爱情故事
比大海还古老。
她给我带来爱情的
朴素真理。
我从何说起？

用第一声“哈罗”
她把情义
注入我这空虚的世界。
再也没有另一个爱人
没有另一次。
她走入我的生活，
使我生活快乐。
她充满我心窝。

她充满我心窝，
用很特殊的方式，
用天使之歌，
用丰富想象。
她用这么多爱充满我心灵，
不论走到哪里，我从不寂寞。
与她在一起，谁会寂寞？
我拉她的手
它总在那里等候。

这爱会持续多久？
爱能否按一天的
小时计算？
我现在没有答案，
但我可以说这么多：
我知道我需要她，
直到天荒地老，
她会仍在那里。

41、《Put Your Head On My Shoulder》
Artist：Michael Bubl 《Put Your Head On My Shoulder》这首歌曲也是保罗"安卡(Paul Anka) 创作的一首爱情歌曲。保罗创作的爱情歌曲，曲调多具有西方现代文化的气息，追求优美的旋律。接近平铺直述，生活化、自然化、亲切纯真，即不是渲泄似的呐喊，也不过分苛求技巧。正如这首歌中曲调一样，即渲泄情感却又不声嘶力竭，即注重运用现代表现特点的口语化，切分音和疏密变化，又不失传统的和谐，抒情等音乐特征
Put Your Head On My Shoulder

Put your head on my shoulder,
Hold me in your arms, baby.
Squeeze me, oh, so tight;
Show me that you love me, too.

Put your lips next to mine, dear.
Won't you kiss me once, baby?
Just a kiss goodnight,
Maybe you and I will fall in love.

People say that love's a game,
A game you just can't win.
If there's a way I'll find it someday,
And then this fool will rush in.

Put your head on my shoulder.
Whisper in my ear, baby,
Words I want to hear.
Tell me, tell me that you love me, too.

歌词大意

把头靠在我肩上，
把我抱在你的怀，姑娘。
噢，好紧呀，把我抱紧。
看出你也爱我。

将你的唇印在我唇上，亲爱的。
姑娘，可否再来下？
只是一吻道晚安，
或许我俩会相爱。

有人说爱情是游戏，
要想取胜不容易。
只要有巧门，我将找到你。
我这傻瓜也要冲进去。

把头靠在我肩上，
在我耳边找点我爱听的侃。
告诉我，告诉我，
你也同样爱着我。

40、《King of The Road》
Artist：Roger Miller
《King of The Road》，歌中人物是一个流浪工人，即四处游走偶尔打一下零工的人。他知道哪里可以做两个小时清洁工，来抵一个晚上的房租。他坐不要钱的货运车，没有固定工作，所以不必付钱给工会。他知道所有可以免费得到东西的布施处。他绝不是一个有钱的人，但他却随心所欲，高兴做什么就做什么。

King of The Road

*Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah but two hours of pushin' broom buys and eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road*
Third boxcar midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found, short but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road
I know every engineer on every train
All the children and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked when no-one's around
I sing...

歌词大意

公路之王
*拖车租了卖了吧，屋里还有5毛钱啊
没电话没泳池没宠物啊，我就想抽支烟
2个小时大甩卖呀，8小时住便宜房间里
我就是个无聊男呀，我就是路霸 *
午夜开来的第三辆货车呀，目标开往Bangor, Maine
鞋儿破衣服破呀，就是不给工会缴钱
我翻出了一双旧靴子呀，短了点但是还合脚
我就是无聊男呀我是路霸
我认识火车上的技术员呀
还知道每个小家伙叫什么
知道各个小镇的小道消息呀
还知道谁离家不锁门。。。
我唱呀唱呀唱。。。。
