认识霉霉的契机是在高中音乐老师放的《You Belong With Me》的MV,彻底粉上是因为高中室友的各种安利。其中最深层次的原因,还是霉霉深厚的文字功底和令人折服的个人魅力。前五张专辑当然是烂熟于心的,也期待TS6(《Reputation》)的到来。虽然经过近两年的各种真真假假的drama,对老霉的感情日渐复杂,但骨子里还是爱她的。
有粉丝开玩笑说老霉的歌词都是四级单词,当然这是一种戏谑调侃的说法,但通过几个简单的单词、短语,就勾勒出一副很具有画面感的图像,何尝是一件易事?每张专辑选一首最喜欢的,纪念我曾经爱过的,未来还会继续爱的乡村霉、流行霉或是暗黑霉,the old Taylor never left yet.
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
回到我家后院的树下
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
你说你比我大会欺负我
You never did, you never did
你却没有,从来没有
Take me back when our world was one block wide
当时我们的世界只有一个街角大
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
我敢说你会偷吻我然后跑掉
Just two kids, you and I
两个孩子,你和我
Oh my my my my
噢 亲爱的
据说这首歌记录的是霉霉邻居的故事,从初恋到白头,多少人倾心向往的爱情故事。翻译网易云@零度天气看风景L
Lookin' so innocent
你看起来那么无辜
I might believe you if I didn't know
如果我不清楚这一切 我很有可能会相信你的
Could've loved you all my life
也许我本来会爱你一辈子
If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold
如果你没丢下我一人孤零零在寒风中等待的话
And you got your share of secrets
你本应告诉我你的秘密
And I'm tired of being last to know

And now you're asking me to listen
现在你让我听你解释
Cuz its worked each time before
因为以前这一招很管用
爱情里真的能分清楚对错吗?不过是你情我愿罢了。如若是两情相悦,就好好珍惜;可如果是一厢情愿,也不去强求。
You paint me a blue sky
你画给我一片蓝天
And go back and turn it to rain
回头又缀满了雨点
And I lived in your chess game'
我活在你的棋局里
but you changed the rules every day

But I took your matches before fire could catch me
我抢下你的火柴赶在火上身之前
So don't look now
所以你别看
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad' empty town
现在的我亮如烟花,越过你空空的殇城
《Dear John》是一部美国爱情电影,中文译名为《分手信》,歌曲中的"John"指的是John Mayer,敢爱敢恨的霉霉从来都是指名道姓。记得speak now时期时的演唱会,一身紫裙,抱着吉他坐在树下,眼泪呼之欲出,无论是曲调还是歌词都把那时霉霉对囧妹的感情表达得淋漓尽致。翻译网易云@Kirsten903
We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate
我们开车唱着歌沉醉在去北方的路上
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
秋天的叶落归根像拼图回归完整
And I can picture it after all these days
这么久之后我仍能在脑海描绘那幅画面
And I know it's long gone, and that magic's not here no more
我知道一切已经远逝 那时的魔力已消失不见
And it might be okay but I'm not fine at all...
我勉强生活却并不开心
'Cause there we are again on that little town street
仿佛我与你又一次回到那小镇的街道上
You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over me
那时你差一点闯了红灯 只因你在入神得望着我
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well
风吹过我发间 我就站在那里 记忆犹新
最有共鸣的一首歌了,听完一首歌,像是看完一部有主人公,有故事情节的爱情小说。曾经还把整首歌的歌词抄进了歌词本里,甚至还能跟着原唱唱完一整首,同时也喜欢上了这个只可意会不能言传的短语— —“All Too Well”。翻译网易云@HaidyLYJ
Tossing, turning
夜里我难以入睡,辗转反侧
Struggle through the night for someone new
纠结着是否要重新开始
And, yeah, I could go
可我所能做的
On and on, on and on
就是继续前行,无法回头
Lantern burning
烛光摇曳
Flickered in the mind, only you
闪现在我脑海里的只有你
But you're still
可你就此消失
Gone, gone, gone
我的身边再也没有你
Been losing grip
曾经我难以自控
Oh, sinking ships
像是沉没的船只
You showed up, just in time
幸好你曾及时出现
前奏有种《Begin Again》的错觉,整首歌左右声道的处理加上霉霉本身空灵的嗓音,更加婉转动听。《1989》大部分的歌曲个人情感都太过激烈,歌词的重复率也比较高,相比之下,《This Love》的歌词更像是一首娓娓道来的情诗。翻译网易云@HeForShe
Cause my baby's fit like a daydream
因为他就像我的梦中情人
Walking with his head down
低着头缓缓踱步
I'm the one he's walking to
正向我款款走来
So call it what you want yeah, call it what you want to
随便你们怎么想 随便你们怎么说了
My baby's fly like a jet stream
他就像急流般翱翔于高空
High above the whole scene
将这一幕幕尽收眼底
Loves me like I'm brand new
爱上了完全蜕变的我
So call it what you want yeah, call it what you want to
所以随便你们怎么想 随便你们怎么说了
TS6(《Reputation》)释出的4首当中最喜欢的一首,也是这首歌萌生了我写这篇推文的想法。除开首单《Look What You Made Me Do》(果然还是不太喜欢暗黑霉)是宣告自己的霸气回归,其他三首新歌都是写给新男友Joe Alwyn的,所以Joe是有多完美多特别才让才女霉如此为之倾倒呢?翻译网易云@NickyRomero
感谢你们看完这篇蹩脚得跟流水账一样的文章还有这么粗糙的排版,我会努力的!!!
