《iEducation歌歌學英文》第26周: Memories_Maroon 5
《港區國安法》通過,不知道大家所熟悉的香港會否已經成爲囘憶?
説到回憶,很多人一定想起百老匯歌劇 “Cats” 的名曲 “Memory”,iEducation 則想和大家介紹 Maroon 5 早前熱爆歌曲 “Memories”,一首同樣觸動人心、令人感概萬千的歌曲:

歌曲一開始便是副歌部分:
Here's to the ones that we got (向我們所擁有的致意)
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not (舉杯,希望你在這,然而你不在)
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories (一飲便帶回所有回憶)
Of everything we've been through (我們經歷過的一切)
Toast to the ones here today (為今天在場的人致敬)
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way (為我們路上失去的人致敬)
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories (因爲一飲便帶回所有回憶)
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you (而回憶帶回來 回憶帶你回來)
歌詞無難度,但令人感概的歌詞配上輕快的旋律,淡淡的哀傷感更揪心。
副歌後緊接的歌詞或者也引起一些共鳴:
There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain (我記得有個時候,我不知道什麽是痛)
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same (那時候我相信永恆,所有事物會維持不變)
但這並非一首悲歌,每一節主歌 (verse) 和導歌 (pre-chorus) 都有正面的情懷:
Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark (現在我的心像餘燼 照亮黑暗)
I'll carry these torches for ya that you know I'll never drop, yeah (我會爲你舉著這些火炬 永不丟下)
Everybody hurts sometimes (人會有時受傷)
Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy (人會有一天受傷)
But everything gon' be alright (但一切會好)
Go and raise a glass and say, ayy (來舉杯說)
(副歌)
希望大家細心欣賞歌曲,並留言告訴我們最勾起你回憶的英文歌是哪首?
