在這平安夜,
趁Evie睡著時,來回味一下一首歌
以前還在國中的時候,
那時很流行要互送聖誕卡片,
每次一買就是二三十張,
都會寫到不知道要寫啥(這不是重點)
那時都會去家裡附近的金石堂買卡片,
那時的金石堂,每年聖誕期間會推出滿額送聖誕CD的活動,
因為我很喜歡聖誕節的氣氛,所以一起要湊個滿額拿一張
(滿額五百,對當時是國中生的我已經是很多錢錢了 )
有一年拿到一張紅色包裝的聖誕CD,
裡面由黃子佼當DJ介紹音樂,
我印象很深刻,這首歌是第二個被介紹的,
一開始聽覺得歌有點太安靜,
但後來越聽越好聽,現在是我超喜歡的一首歌:D
所以今天平安夜時分享給大家~
Stina Nordenstam - Soon After Christmas
(以下歌詞Miriam自己翻譯,有辭不達意地方請多見諒)
I've called you now a thousand times
I think I know now, you're not home
I've said your name a thousand times
To be prepared if you'd be there
我已打了好幾通電話給你,但我知道你不在家
所以輕喚你的名字,為了你出現而準備
I wanted so to have you
And I wanted you to know
I wanted to write songs
About how we're walking in the snow
好想讓你知道我想擁有你
想寫首有關我們如何漫步在雪中的歌
You've got me slightly disappointed
Just a bit and just enough
To keep me up another night
Waiting for another day
你讓我有點失望
雖然只是些許
但也讓我整夜無法入眠
The city is taking a day off
The streets are empty
No one's out tonight
My life is in another's hands
整座城市已歇息
整條街已無人
今晚,沒有人外出,除了我
I wanted so to have you
And I wanted you to know
I wanted to write songs
About how we're walking in the snow
好想讓你知道我想擁有你
想寫首有關我們如何漫步在雪中的歌
But there's no snow this winter
There's no words for what I feel for you
It's not enough though it's too much
Why must it always be like that?
但這冬天沒有雪,
我對你的感覺無法言語,
為何總是如此?
The TV screen is lighting up my room
The film has ended
Every inch of my skin is crying for your hands
電視螢幕照亮了房間
電影已結束
身上每吋肌膚因你而哭泣
And I wanted so to have you
And I wanted you to know
I wanted to write songs
About how we're walking in the snow
好想讓你知道我想擁有你
想寫首有關我們如何漫步在雪中的歌
You've got me slightly disappointed
Just a bit and just enough
To keep me up another night
Waiting for another day
你讓我有點失望
雖然只是些許
但也讓我整夜無法入眠
