——歌词欣赏——
It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange
那并非易事,你会为此而困惑
When I try to explain how I feel
当我试着表达自己的感情
That I still need your love after all that I’ve done
我仍然渴求着你的爱,哪怕我已付出一切
You won’t believe me
你却仍无法置信于我
All you will see is a girl you once knew
你认定我就是从前那个小女孩
Although she’s dressed up to the nines
就算她打扮得体
At sixes and sevens with you
也与你格格不入
I had to let it happen, I had to change
我只能任它如此,只得改变自己
Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel
我不愿一生无所作为
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
终日张望,难见光采
So I chose freedom
所以我奔向自由
Running around, trying everything new
四处环游,尝试一切新鲜事物
But nothing impressed me at all
但那些都不足挂齿
I never expected it to
非我所望
Don’t cry for me Argentina
阿根廷,别为我哭泣
The truth is I never left you
我从未离你而去
All through my wild days, my mad existence
在那段轻狂岁月、疯癫历程中
I kept my promise
我始终信守诺言
Don’t keep your distance
别把我拒之千里
And as for fortune, and as for fame
至于浮名虚利
I never invited them in
我从未希冀
Though it seems to the world they were all I desired
尽管世人认为我热衷名利
They are illusions
它们不过是泡影
They’re not the solutions they promised to be
绝非是它们承诺那样的解决途径
The answer was here all the time
答案一直就在这儿
I love you and hope you love me
我爱你,希望你也爱我Have I said too much?
我是否说的太多?
There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you
我已不知还能表达什么
But all you have to do is look at me
但只需你望我一眼
To know that every word is true
便可知每字每句皆是真情I kept my promise
我始终信守诺言
Don’t keep your distance
别把我拒之千里
也与你格格不入
I had to let it happen, I had to change
我只能任它如此,只得改变自己
Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel
我不愿一生无所作为
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
终日张望,难见光采
So I chose freedom
所以我奔向自由
Running around, trying everything new
四处环游,尝试一切新鲜事物
But nothing impressed me at all
但那些都不足挂齿

非我所望
