轻轻柔柔的歌声娓娓道来,这首歌是《What Did I Do?》。欢迎收听今天的《听歌学英语》,我是小C姐。人活着的意义是什么?歌词说We're all just passing by, too quickly to linger——我们都只是来往的过客,行色匆匆无法在途中逗留。那既然如此,我们要怎样去过自己的一生呢?人活一辈子,最重要的就是活出自己。你想过怎样的生活呢?找到自己喜欢做的事,那么你的内心将永远滚烫,你拥有的将不再是短暂的快乐,而是永恒的愉悦,并能将余下的生命得以安放,自己才是人生最大的依靠。不管你现在是什么状态,来听一首歌,享受当下。

It's funny how life takes time
生活从你指下掳走时间的手笔
From under your fingers
很是有趣
Like snowfall takes the life
就像落雪夺走了冬天花儿的
Of flowers in winter
稚嫩生机
We're all just passing by
我们都只是来往过客
Too quickly to linger
行色匆匆无法途中逗留
So scared we're gonna die
终日惶惶你我将会
Before we begin to
英年早逝
Get done all the left undones
一切未竟的都已完结
There's still so much I'm running from
尚还有许多我在逃避背离
I felt us start to fall in love
我们已有坠入爱河之势
But I didn't see it through
我却没看透这现实
Oh, what did I do?
我做了什么
Tried to follow my heart, follow my heart far from you
试着跟随我的心跟随本心去疏远你
Oh, what did I do?
我做了什么
'Cause now I'm falling apart, falling apart far from you
因为现在我分崩离析与你相隔千里
You told me to fly away
你叫我远走高飞
You don't wanna weigh me down
不愿做我负累
But l'm drowning in all this space
但我被这片虚无吞没
My wings feel smaller now
我的双翼愈发自惭形秽
Oh, what did I do?
我都做了什么
I lay awake most nights
多数夜里我清醒难眠
Painting a picture
画一幅画
Of what could be in my mind
绘出脑中若我未离你而去的
If I didn't leave to
那种种臆想
Get done all the left undones
一切未竟的都已完结
There's still so much I'm running from
尚还有许多我在逃避背离
I felt us start to fall in love
我们已有坠入爱河之势
But I didn't see it through
我却没看透这现实
Oh, what did I do?
我做了什么
Tried to follow my heart, follow my heart far from you
试着跟随我的心跟随本心去疏远你
Oh, what did I do?
我做了什么
'Cause now I'm falling apart, falling apart far from you
因为现在我分崩离析与你相隔千里
You told me to fly away
你叫我远走高飞
You don't wanna weigh me down
不愿做我负累
But I'm drowning in all this space
但我被这片虚无吞没
My wings feel smaller now
我的双翼愈发自惭形秽
Oh, what did I do?
我都做了什么
You told me to fly away
你叫我远走高飞
You don't wanna weigh me down
不愿做我负累
But I'm drowning in all this space
但我被这片虚无吞没
My wings feel smaller now
我的双翼愈发自惭形秽
Oh, what did I do?
我都做了什么
