不會(huì)唱歌的詩(shī)人寫不出好歌詞!有些英文歌啊,光是歌詞就美的讓人心醉。下面這個(gè)playlist是英語君精選的15首適合學(xué)英語聽的英文歌,流派雖然混雜,新歌老歌都有,但是每一首的歌詞都是可以被編進(jìn)教科書的水平!

1.Make you feel my love – Bob Dylan

去年剛剛獲了諾獎(jiǎng)的Dylan老爺子早就說過, I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet." -我覺得自己首先是個(gè)詩(shī)人,其次才是音樂家。我像個(gè)詩(shī)人一樣活著,也將以詩(shī)人的方式死去。

這首歌可能是詩(shī)人Dylan最柔情,最讓人心動(dòng)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

當(dāng)雨滴飄落在你的臉上

全世界都與你為敵

我會(huì)給你最溫暖的擁抱

讓你感受我的愛意

當(dāng)天色漸晚 星光閃爍

卻沒人為你拭去淚水

我會(huì)讓你倚靠萬年

讓你感受我的愛意

2.You are the sunshine of my life Stevie Wonder & 小野麗莎

同樣是深情告白,Stevie Wonder和小野麗莎對(duì)唱的這首歌,更多了一些歡快的甜蜜。其中的金句在不少電影里也有出現(xiàn):

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

你是我生命中的陽光

所以我會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)在你身旁

你是我最愛的珍寶

所以你會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)在我心上

3.Moon River – Audrey Hepburn

赫本在《蒂凡尼的早餐》里,坐在窗邊自彈自唱的這首歌,真是男人看了都沉默,女人看了會(huì)流淚。一代勞模赫本也為了這個(gè)片段才去學(xué)習(xí)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

兩個(gè)流浪者,一起周游四方

有如此寬闊的的世界等著被欣賞

你我追尋同一個(gè)彩虹,共同翹首期盼

我的摯友,我的月河,同我一起

4.Heal the world – Michael Jacskon

這首關(guān)于愛與和平的作品,在MJ的演繹下深深的印入人心。

If we try we shall see

In this bliss we cannot feel fear or dread

We stop existing and start living

如果我們努力嘗試,終會(huì)看到

在這幸福之中,不再有一絲恐懼

我們終將停止虛度生命,開始生活

5.When you believe – Whitney Housdon & Mariah Carey

惠姨和牛姐,兩代diva為動(dòng)畫片《埃及王子》獻(xiàn)聲的作品,不論旋律還是歌詞現(xiàn)在看來都堪稱經(jīng)典。

There can be miracles when you believe ”

只要你相信 奇跡總會(huì)發(fā)生

6.Million reasons – Lady Gaga

老鱉Gaga的心碎之作,拿起吉他靜靜唱民謠的Gaga女士竟然還是魅力十足啊。

I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away

?But baby, I just need one good one to stay ”

千萬個(gè)理由催促我轉(zhuǎn)身離開,

但只要一個(gè)好的理由,我便情愿留下

7.Hotel California – Eagles

除了那段經(jīng)典的吉他solo,《加州旅館》讓人浮想聯(lián)翩的歌詞也是它大獲成功的關(guān)鍵。

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

她站在門口等候

我聽到教堂鐘聲

心中暗想

這里不是地獄,便是天堂?

8.Can you feel the love tonight – Elton John

《獅子王》主題曲,這首包攬了金球、格萊美和奧斯卡的歌,可能是最經(jīng)典的動(dòng)畫片主題曲。

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,你能否感受這愛意?

它長(zhǎng)久不息

無論強(qiáng)者或弱者

都在這愛中重獲信仰

9.All I ask – Adele

阿呆新磚里最打動(dòng)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?

這是我唯一的乞求

如果今夜是最后的一夜

請(qǐng)將我像愛人一樣擁入懷中

讓我心存掛念

像愛人一樣最后挽起我的手

分離也彌足珍貴

因?yàn)檫@或許是我最后的愛戀

10.My heart will go on – Celine Dion

You jump, I jump. 最勇敢的愛情詩(shī)

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

我便無所畏懼

我早已知道

我心永恒

這愛將永垂不朽

因?yàn)槟阍谖倚纳?/span> 安然無恙

我的愛也永不停歇?

11.Midnight train to Georgia – Gladys Knight & the Pips

這首金曲在不少美劇中都有出現(xiàn),歌詞講述了太多人的故事。

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

他將乘午夜列車回到Georgia

回到那純真年代

我會(huì)與他同行

我寧愿活在他的世界

而不愿在我的世界失去他?

12.Last Christmas – Wham!

這首圣誕神曲,每年節(jié)日期間都會(huì)在大街小巷上聽到,也被無數(shù)歌手翻唱(墻裂推薦AAriana Grande的版本)

副歌短短幾句,講完了一個(gè)心碎的故事

然而更讓人心碎的是,原唱George Michael創(chuàng)作了這首紅遍宇宙的圣誕歌曲,他本人卻在去年圣誕節(jié)當(dāng)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

去年圣誕 我把心托付給你

你卻在次日就狠狠拋棄

今年 我不愿再以淚洗面

這份愛將會(huì)被人珍惜?

13.You must love me – Madonna

Madonna在音樂劇《Evita》(貝隆夫人)中演唱的歌曲。

貝隆夫人病入膏肓,時(shí)日已不多。先前已宣布退出政壇,不再作為一國(guó)之母出現(xiàn)在公眾面前,回歸一個(gè)女人身份。想到當(dāng)年叱咤風(fēng)云,遠(yuǎn)大抱負(fù)還未實(shí)現(xiàn),不禁黯然神傷。此時(shí)一個(gè)女人最怕失去的就是愛,所以唱出了這段心聲。

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

我們?cè)撊绾蜗駨那耙粯?/span>

延續(xù)夢(mèng)想

保持熱情不滅

我內(nèi)心封存

渴望破口而出的話

我不敢坦言所感

怕極了你會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)身溜走

你要愛我如初?

14.Winter things – Ariana Grande

A妹的聲音甜起來真是讓人全身酥麻!這首“傲嬌女子假裝跟男友過冬”的甜蜜告白里,完美的詮釋了“老娘就算一個(gè)人唱也可以狠狠的撒狗糧”

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

想要假裝跟你一起在北極過冬

打開暖爐,就像是在冰凍三尺的節(jié)日

只為我和你而慶祝的節(jié)日

我的寶貝回來了,我們要一起傻傻過冬

15.What a wonderful world – Louis Armstrong

最后一首,留給永遠(yuǎn)的經(jīng)典,大自然的贊歌!

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.

我看到綠樹成群 我看到紅玫瑰成片

我看到它們 只為你我而綻放

心中默念 這是個(gè)多么美妙的世界

我看到蔚藍(lán)天空 皎潔云朵

神圣的白天和黑夜

心中默念 這是個(gè)多么美妙的世界
