美剧《迷失》第3季16集的插曲《Downtown》附中英文歌词
《Downtown》是美剧《迷失》第3季16集的插曲,歌词很棒。
佩屈拉克拉克(Petula Clark)
她的唱片制作人汤尼海奇(Tony Hatch)带著一堆自己写的歌曲来找她,并且建议她,应该可以再度尝试用英语来灌录唱片了。佩屈拉克拉克回答说,她愿意回到英国发展,但前提是必须要先找到合适的歌曲。在她跑到厨房去泡茶来招待客人的时候,汤尼海奇随手在钢琴上弹奏了一段自己刚刚谱出来的旋律,她在厨房里听到了,立刻冲出来,问汤尼那是什么歌曲。汤尼表示,那首歌叫做「Downtown」,但是还没有歌词。佩屈拉说,那首歌曲很棒,假如汤尼可以写出相配的歌词,她愿意灌录,并且藉以回到英国歌坛。
When you’re alone当你一个人孤孤单单
And life is making you lonely,而且生活让你觉得寂寞
You can always go downtown你可以去市中心逛逛
When you’ve got worries,当你忧虑成疾,
All the noise and the hurry周围的喧嚣让你刻不容缓的匆忙时
Seems to help, I know, downtown我知道你想要喘口气,寻求帮助
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city来!听听城市交通奏响的乐章
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty看看人行道周围的霓虹灯闪烁光芒
How can you lose?你怎会迷失在人群之中?
The lights are much brighter there那儿的灯光更加灿烂,
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go在那儿,尽情的,忘掉所有烦恼,所有担忧,
Downtown, things’ll be great when you’re热闹的市中心,你身在其中,万物皆美好,
Downtown, no finer place for sure,热闹的市中心,没有第2个选择,
Downtown, everything’s waiting for you热闹的市中心,良辰美景,纷繁美好,一切都在等你呢!
(Downtown)
Don’t hang around别再四处徘徊,犹豫不决,
And let your problems surround you也别再让各种问题环绕在你身旁,
There are movie shows downtown市中心的商业街有电影看呢!
Maybe you know或许阿,你还知道,
Some little places to go to一些地方可以去,
Where they never close downtown就是那些不夜城,
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova来!听听Boss Nova的神圣的音乐,
You’ll be dancing with ‘em too before the night is over你也可以加入他们,闻歌起舞,不醉不休,
Happy again再次体会幸福愉快
The lights are much brighter there那里的灯光格外耀眼,格外引人注目,
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go你自然可以忘掉你所有的麻烦,你所有的顾忌,
Downtown where all the lights are bright,就是那个灯光耀眼的市中心
Downtown, waiting for you tonight,市中心,今天晚上就差你一个,
Downtown, you’re gonna be alright now来吧,今夜你会痊愈。
(Downtown, downtown)
Downtown
(Downtown)
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you,或许呢,你在这能发现哪个家伙衷心的倾听你的忧愁,理解你的不快,
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to或许还会找到谁像我们一样需要伸出一双温暖的手,
Guide them along指引他们前方,
So, maybe I’ll see you there嗯,所以说不定我会见到你,
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go来吧,一起忘掉我们的麻烦,忘掉我们的担心—快走!
Downtown, things’ll be great when you’re市中心,置身其中,你会发现周围的美好,
Downtown, don’t wait a minute more,快走,别再耽搁一分钟,
Downtown, everything’s waiting for you你知道,那都在等你……
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
