中英歌词

各位好,欢迎收听可可网《听歌学英语》栏目!Boy With A Coin,依然是来自Iron and Wine的一首 作品。MV里,Samuel Beam的长发和络腮胡使这个才情并茂的弱质男生看起来有种山野村夫的味道,直到他开口,才知道他的声线是温柔和明澈的。MV里身着黑色舞裙的弗拉明戈舞娘狂放的舞蹈以及这群美丽女人脸上所透露出的桀骜不驯,给这首作品赋予了让人瞬间中毒的诱惑力。盛开的迷迭香、起舞的黑天鹅。一起来听听吧!

A boy with a coin he found in the weeds 一个男孩在杂草丛中发现了一枚硬币 
With bullets and pages of trade magazines 和着一些子弹以及几本商业杂志
Close to a car that flipped on the turn 就在一辆因转弯而翻车的汽车旁边
When God left the ground to circle the world当上帝飞身忙于巡视世界之时

A girl with a bird she found in the snow 一个女孩在雪地里发现了一只小鸟 
Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows它飞上了她长裙,小女孩这时才知道 
That God made her eyes for crying at birth 上帝赐予她双眼,于是她天生会哭泣 
Then left the ground to circle the Earth 然后上帝飞身,继续巡视俗世

Boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans 男孩把硬币匆忙塞进了牛仔裤里 
Then making a wish he tossed it in the sea 许了个愿望后,他把硬币扔进了大海
Walked to a town that all of us burn 然后走向煎熬着世人的小镇 
When God left the ground to circle the world 此时上帝飞身,继续巡视俗世

歌词讲解

欢迎回来。一首Boy With A Coin,歌词简单不乏画面感。这首歌表达了极为个人化的生活感受,极度具有意识流的特征,歌词里面出现的物象象征了生活的种种际遇和不幸;而MV里的佛拉门戈舞蹈亦表达了吉普赛人的生活哲学:生活越是艰难困苦,人们越是自信盎然,勇敢地迎接一切失意和磨难。不知道大家有没有感受到这股力量。好了一起来看看今天的词汇扩展:
