Sara Bareilles是(出生在尤里卡加利福尼亚西北部一城市洪堡)的一名创作歌手和钢琴家。她经常被拿来与Fiona Apple, Norah Jones, Joni Mitchell这些与她同类型的知名歌手比较,即便她并没有受过任何正式的声乐和钢琴训练。 在BILLBOARD被HIP-HOP统治的情况下Sara Bareilles凭借LOVE SONG连续几周徘徊在榜单前十,给美国乐坛注入一股清新之风,没有太过花俏繁复、哗众取宠的编曲,突显钢琴的透明与纯净,添份夜晚清凉聆听享受,赶走白日喧闹繁杂恼人之事。值得一听的新生代女歌手。
Love Song 情歌
Head under water and they tell me
To breathe easy for awhile
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
头潜在水里
他们建议 我保持这样自由呼吸
呼吸变得困难
傻瓜都明白
Made room for me, it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
给我留点空间
想看清我是否在你掌心会是欢心?为时尚早
搞清楚,我可不是那么容易拿捏的
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well
But you make this hard on me
空洞地盯着空荡的白纸
吐露心声确实不容易
我明白你是好意
但你给了我太多压力
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you ask for it
'Cause you need one, you see
我不会仅仅因为你想要一首就给你写情歌的,你懂?
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
All you have is leaving
I'm gon' need a better reason
To write you a love song today, today
我不会给你写情歌的
尽管你一再强调这将会是关键
如果你一意孤行远去
我也不会写一首来挽留
如果离开是你唯一的筹码
我还是需要更好的理由在今天为你下笔
I learned the hard way that they all say
Things you wanna hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under
You and your twisted words
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
我终于尝到教训
原来他们都拍你马屁
我的心 因你以及扭曲的言语
跌入万丈深渊
你只会帮倒忙
你根本不是我原本想的那样
我现在只能对困境呵呵了
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
你曾说服我让我取悦你
也曾让我以为我也需要如此
现在我要努力让你听到我真正的感受
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you ask for it
'Cause you need one, you see
我不会仅仅因为你想要一首就给你写情歌的,你懂?
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
我不会给你写情歌的
尽管你一再强调这将会是关键
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
如果你一意孤行远去
我也不会写一首来挽留
If all you have is leaving
I'ma need a better reason
To write you a love song today
如果离开是你唯一的筹码
我还是需要更好的理由在今天为你下笔
Promise me you'll leave the light on
To help me see daylight, my guide, gone
'Cause I believe there's a way
You can love me because I say
向我保证 你会让灯亮着
当指引我的日光消逝时,我还能看清
因为我相信
你总会找到对的方法来好好爱我
因为我说过
I won't write you a love song
'Cause you ask for it
'Cause you need one, you see
我不会仅仅因为你想要一首就给你写情歌的,你懂?
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
我不会给你写情歌的
尽管你一再强调这将会是关键
Is that why you wanted a love song?
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
难道这就是你要一首情歌的原因吗?
就因为你想要,就因为你需要吗?你懂的
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
我不会给你写情歌的
尽管你一再强调这将会是关键
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
如果你一意孤行远去
我也不会写一首来挽留
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
如果你完全不把我的话放在心上
我也绝不会接受你那颗心的
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas
When I believe that there's a reason
To write you a love song today, today
亲爱的,当我相信我已找到为你写情歌的理由之时
我会在今天义无反顾,上刀山下火海地为你写一首惊天地泣鬼神的情歌!
