《K歌情人》是2007年的美國浪漫純愛喜劇,講述一位過氣的偶像歌手和一位才女作詞家共同為流行天后譜歌時發(fā)生的戀愛故事。
Alex Fletcher is a washed-up '80s pop star who's been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning diva Cora Corman invites him to write and record a duet with her, but there's a problem--Alex hasn't written a song in years, he's never written lyrics, and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days.
Alex(休?格蘭特 飾)是一個八十年代過氣流行樂歌手,近年好不容易靠著懷舊路線逐漸獲得更多的演出機會。轉(zhuǎn)機出現(xiàn)了,流行天后Cora邀請Alex寫歌并合唱該曲。但此刻Alex碰到了創(chuàng)作瓶頸,多年沒有作曲之余,他也從來沒有過作詞的經(jīng)驗,現(xiàn)在卻要在幾天內(nèi)作出一首暢銷的流行曲。
Enter Sophie Fisher, Alex's beguilingly quirky plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter. On the rebound from a bad relationship, Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex. As their chemistry heats up at the piano and under it, Alex and Sophie will have to face their fears--and the music--if they want to find the love and success they both deserve.
就在Alex十分煩惱時,他遇到了Sophie(德魯?巴里摩爾 飾),這個美麗的女孩精通運用文字,隨口唱出的歌詞讓Alex十分滿意,多次邀請下Sophie才答應(yīng)與Alex一起合作。但Sophie一直困在前一段失敗的感情中,她害怕承諾。當(dāng)她與Alex的感情逐漸升溫的時,兩人卻要一起面對分歧,他們的愛情和事業(yè)面臨考驗……

歌詞賞析:
I have been living with a shadow overhead,
我的生活一直被陰影籠罩,
I have been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
我的床頭一直有陰云纏繞,
I have been lonely for so long.
我的孤獨就一直無處可逃,
Trapped in the past, I just can not seem to move on,
我的過去一直把我侵?jǐn)_。
I have been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
我把夢想小心翼翼地藏好,
Just in case I ever need them again someday,
唯愿終有一日能重修舊好,
I have been setting aside time,
我雖然已將時間隨意拋掉,
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind.
卻將希望珍藏在心靈一角。
All I want to do is find a way back into love,
我只要重新找到愛的感覺,
I can not make it through without a way back into love,
沒有愛情我只會重重跌倒。
I have been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
我仰望天空不見星辰閃耀,
I have been searching but I just do not see the signs,
摸索出路卻尋找不到路標(biāo)。
I know that it is out there,
路在何方我其實完全知曉,
There is got to be something for my soul somewhere,
心靈之路怎么會千里迢迢。
I have been looking for someone to shed some light,
給我光明的人我一直尋找,
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night,
漫漫長夜之后卻路途遙遙,
I could use some direction,
我需要你給我的心靈指導(dǎo),
And I am open to your suggestions.
我愿由你做我的人生向?qū)А?/div>
All I want to do is find a way back into love,
我只要重新找到愛的感覺,
I can not make it through without a way back into love,
沒有愛情我只會重重跌倒,
And if I open my heart again,
若我再次敞開心房,
I guess I am hoping you will be there for me in the end.
我希望有你在那頭等我。
There are moments when I don't know if it is real,
有些時候我不知是否真實,
Or if anybody feels the way I feel,
是否有人和我感受一樣,
I need inspiration,
我需要靈感,
Not just another negotiation.
而非又一次妥協(xié)。
All I want to do is find a way back into love,
我只要重新找到愛的感覺,
I can not make it through without a way back into love,
沒有愛情我只會重重跌倒,
And if I open my heart to you,
若我再次敞開心房,
I am hoping you will show me what to do,
希望你會告訴我該怎么做,
And if you help me to start again,
若你幫我重新開始,
You know that I will be there for you in the end.
你知道我會在最后等你。
