[lyrics] Shiver

  I walk a mile with a smile
  I don't know I don't care where I am
  But I know it's all right
  Jump the tracks, can't get back
  I don't know anyone round here
  But I'm safe this time

  'Cause when you tell me, tell me, tell me
  Stupid things like you do
  Yes I have to, have to, have to
  Change the rules; I can't lose

  'Cause I shiver, I just break up
  When I'm near you it all gets out of hand
  Yes I shiver, I get bent up
  There's no way back
  I know you'll understand

  We talk and talk, round it all
  Who'd have thought we'd end up here?
  But I'm feeling fine
  In a rush never trust, you'll be
  If I'd only stop and take my time

  'Cause with you I'm running, running, running
  Somewhere I can't get to
  Yes I have to, have to, have to
  Change the rules; I'm with you

  'Cause I shiver, I just break up
  When I'm near you it all gets out of hand
  Yes I shiver, I get bent up
  There's no way back
  I know you'll understand

  What if you get off at the next stop?
  Would you just wave as I'm drifting off?
  And if I never saw you again
  Could I (could I) keep all (all of) of this (of this) inside?

  'Cause I shiver, I just break up
  When I'm near you it all gets out of hand
  Yes I shiver, I get bent up
  There's no way back
  I know you'll understand

  I'm running but my heart won't keep up
  This feeling that I'm feeling is too much
  There's nothing that can slow me down now
  I'm running but I'll catch you somehow

  I shiver , I shiver

  Yes I shiver, I just break up
  When I'm near you it all gets out of hand
  Yes I shiver, I get bent up
  There's no way back
  I know you'll understand

  這首歌收錄在"Counting Down The Days"這張專輯in April2005,澳洲女歌手Natalie Imbruglia(娜塔莉)的專輯,那時我正值高三,一個慌張的時間點,如同這首的中文歌名一樣"慌了",最近偶然又聽見這首歌,又不偏不倚地符合了我現在的心情,即使現在我應該努力想辦法把統計學心得擠出來,我還是偷了個空把這歌詞找出來,跟大家分享,仔細一點,會發現旋律真讓人有點慌呢:p

[lyrics] Other Side Of The World

  Over the sea and far away
  She's waiting like an iceberg waiting to change
  But she's cold inside
  She wants to be like the water

  All the muscles tighten in her face
  Buries her soul in one embrace
  They're one and the same just like water

  The fire fades away
  Most of everyday is full of tired excuses
  But it's too hard to say
  I wish it were simple
  But we give up easily
  You're close enough to see that
  You're the other side of the world to me

  On comes the panic light
  Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
  But the time has come to move along

  The fire fades away
  Most of everyday is full of tired excuses
  But it's too hard to say
  I wish it were simple
  But we give up easily
  You're close enough to see that
  You're the other side of the world

  Can you help me?can you let me go?
  And can you still love me when you can't see me anymore?

  The fire fades away
  Most of everyday is full of tired excuses
  But it's too hard to say
  I wish it were simple
  But we give up easily
  You're close enough to see that
  You're the other side of the world
  the other side of the world
  You're the other side of the world to me

  這首歌是從KT Tunstall的"Eye to the Telescope"(望遠鏡下的愛情)專輯中的主打歌,KT特殊的嗓音從她專輯還未發, 各大電台搶先撥的時候就深深吸引了我,這首歌很美、很有詩的感覺,真的很喜歡這首歌!!當然其他曲目也都很耐聽,每一首歌都像是一首詩,歌詞更是值得慢慢地細細地去體會,無怪蔡康永也幫KT這張專輯背書:

  "詩該給我的東西,請寫成像KT一樣的歌給我"(<<大致上應該是這樣說的)

[lyrics] Breakaway

  Grew up in a small town
  And when the rain would fall down
  I'd just stare out my window
  Dreaming of what could be
  And if I'd end up happy  I would pray

  Trying not to reach out
  But when I tried to speak out
  Felt like no one could hear me
  Wanted to belong here
  But something felt so wrong here
  So I'd pray  I could break away

  I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
  I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
  Make a wish, take a chance
  Make a change and break away
  Out of the darkness and into the sun
  But I won't forget all the ones that I love
  I'll take a risk take a chance,
  Make a change and break away

  Wanna feel the warm breeze
  Sleep under a palm tree
  Feel the rush of the ocean 
  Get onboard a fast train
  Travel on a jetplane
  Far away  And break away

  I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
  I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
  Make a wish, take a chance
  Make a change, and break away
  Out of the darkness and into the sun
  But I won't forget all the ones that I love
  I'll take a risk take a chance
  Make a change and break away

  Buildings with a hundred floors
  Swinging with revolving doors
  Maybe I don’t know where they’ll take me
  Gotta keep movin on movin on
  Fly away  Break away

  I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
  Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye
  Take a risk, take a chance
  Make a change, and break away
  Out of the darkness and into the sun
  But I won't forget the place I come from
  I gotta take a risk, take a chance
  Make a change, and break away
  Breakaway  Breakaway

  演唱的是Kelly Clarkson(凱莉克萊森),一個我很喜歡的西洋女歌手,她的聲音非常迷人!!時而高亢激昂、有時卻又是渾厚迷人,台灣對她認識的可能不多,不過她這一兩年因為屬於實力派女歌手而竄起,即使屬於流行樂,仍然很難聽膩。

  這首歌官方譯成"美夢成真",歌詞我就不做翻譯了,因為以大家高中的英文程度很容易可以解讀,而且英文歌詞最好玩的地方就是從每個人解讀的角度跟方式,可以一窺這個人對這首歌感受的程度。

  祝我美夢成真,也希望你們都美夢成真。
