感兴趣的小可爱可以关注公众号“EnglishDaily”啊~
曾经义无反顾地陷入
而后悲痛欲绝地告别
现在无怨无悔
一边怀念 一边朝前
在最美的时机相遇
简简单单
那是爱情
后面的日子
各安天涯
仍是感激
请相信
一切都是真实
请相信
我全部都记得
今天为你推荐的是Sufjan Stevens为电影Call Me by Your Name而创作的Mystery of Love.
Introduction:
Sufjan Stevens,美国音乐人,1975年出生于密歇根州底特律。导演Luca Guadagnino邀请Sufjan Stevens为Call Me by Your Name创作一首歌,当Luca给Sufjan介绍了电影内容和他的想法后,Sufjan就决定为电影创作两首歌,就是现在的Mystery of Love和Visions of Gideon,还将其发表过的Futile Devices制作成钢琴版,作为电影配乐。Sufjan喜欢把鸟写进自己的歌里,因为他向往鸟的自由和超然。
Lyric:
Oh, to see without my eyes
The first time that you kissed me
Boundless by the time I cried
I built your walls around me
White noise, what an awful sound
Fumbling by Rogue River
Feel my feet above the ground
Hand of God, deliver me
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The first time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love
Lord, I no longer believe
Drowned in living waters
Cursed by the love that I received
From my brother's daughter
Like Hephaestion, who died
Alexander's lover
Now my riverbed has dried
Shall I find no other?
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
I'm running like a plover
Now I'm prone to misery
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me
How much sorrow can I take?
Blackbird on my shoulder
And what difference does it make
When this love is over?
Shall I sleep within your bed
River of unhappiness
Hold your hands upon my head
Till I breathe my last breath
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The last time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love
