Song│One and Only

 

學妹軟星在臉書上大力推薦Adele，是在她拿了6座Grammy Awards的時候，聽到她唱”Don’t you remember”的時候，真是驚為天人哪，好滄桑低沉又很有力的聲音，難怪年紀輕輕就成為富婆，哈。

雖然很多人說，無法連續聽她的歌超過三首以上，但我車內的音響，就只放著她的專輯。在不上班還要開車的時候，就會放得很大聲，心情差的時候，還會跟著嘶吼（以我的功力，實在不能用「唱」這個字眼）。

有一次吼得太忘我，忘了車窗沒有關攏，看到對向來車移動痕跡偏了一下，才想到，如果這樣發生車禍的話，肇事原因是要算在我頭上嗎？

 

專輯〈21〉中，我最愛的是這首歌〈One and Only〉。

這首歌的意境很勇敢也很悲傷，歌詞寫得有點隨性混亂，感覺很單純的用力著（噗，什麼語法啊），雖然無法完全體會這樣的心情，但很吸引我啊。

 

Adele是1988年出生的，讓她大紅大紫的原因，除了音樂風格之外，就是她寫給「已分手的戀人」的歌，世界上擁有一兩段受傷愛情的人多不勝數，這個市場很大啊。（Maroon 5的第一張專輯也走這個路線，到現在我還是很愛其中幾首歌←明明沒受過什麼傷，還是很愛跟人家湊熱鬧）

 

Youtube這個版本是專輯版，她的live比較隨性有趣，注意聽還會發現她更動歌詞時態，很妙。

以下是原始歌詞。

中譯歌詞，這個版本l還不錯。

 

You've been on my mind

I grow fonder every day,

Lose myself in time

Just thinking of your face

God only knows

Why it's taken me so long

To let my doubts go

You're the only one that I want

 

I don't know why I'm scared, I've been here before

Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all,

You never know if you never try

To forgive your past and simply be mine

 

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only

Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms

So come on and give me a chance

To prove that I'm the one who can

Walk that mile until the end starts

 

If I've been on your mind

You hang on every word I say

Lose yourself in time at the mention of my name

Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close?

And have you tell me whichever road I choose you'll go

 

I don't know why I'm scared 'cause I've been here before

Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all,

You'll never know if you never try

To forgive your past and simply be mine

 

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only

I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms

So come on and give me a chance

To prove that I'm the one who can

Walk that mile until the end starts

 

I know it ain't easy

Giving up your heart

I know it ain't easy

Giving up your heart

 

(Nobody's perfect, trust me I've learned it)

I know it ain't easy, giving up your heart

(Nobody's perfect, trust me I've learned it)

I know it ain't easy, giving up your heart

 

I know it ain't easy

Giving up your heart

I know it ain't easy

Giving up your heart

 

So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only

I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms

So come on and give me a chance

To prove that I'm the one who can

Walk that mile until the end starts

Come on and give me a chance

To prove that I'm the one who can

Walk that mile until the end starts.

 

這首歌，其實很赤裸裸。

我喜歡的原因，其實只是”only”

如果我確定我愛上一個人，那麼，我就只會看著他。當我不愛了，我也會下定決心，不要讓愛情變成習慣的延續，讓一段感情漸漸發餿。

我懷念，那個曾很純粹喜歡一個人的心情。
