《Almost Lover》由美国音乐创作型女歌手A Fine Frenzy18岁时有感而发所创作,发行于2007年。歌曲在欧洲引起广大回响,并在斯洛文尼亚夺下冠军宝座,被MTV真人实境节目以及知名电视剧选作配乐,汤唯、廖凡主演的电影《命中注定》插曲。
一首安静唯美伤感的歌曲。舒缓的旋律,柔和细腻的女嗓十分具有感染力,把面对无望爱情时,那种无奈的心境展现得淋漓尽致,仿佛空气中都弥漫着浓浓的忧伤。也许,Almost是天底下最悲伤的词了,无限接近yes,却不能改变no的本质。
A Fine Frenzy 1984年出生,美国音乐创作型女歌手、钢琴家和演员。
中英文歌词
你的指尖轻滑过我肌肤
The palm trees swaying in the wind
棕榈树在风中摇曳
Images
各种影像交错辉映
You sang me Spanish lullabies
你为我吟唱那西班牙摇篮曲
我不愿看到你的哀伤
I thought you want the same for me
我原以为你也一样
Goodbye my almost lover
再见了,我无缘的爱人
Goodbye my hopeless dream
再见了,我无望的梦想
I'm trying not to think about you
我试着不再想你
Can't you just let me be
请让我独自离去
So long my luckless romance
再见了,我不幸的爱
My back is turned on you
我将转身离去
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
早该知道你只能带给我无尽的心伤
Almost lovers always do
无缘的爱总是如此
We walked along a crowded street
我们穿行在拥挤的街道
You took my hand and danced with me
在那阴影里
And when you left you kissed my lips
当你离开时,你吻着我的唇
You told me you would never never forget these images

I cannot go to the ocean
我再也无法回到昔日的海边
I cannot drive the streets at night
我再也无法行驶在午夜的街道
I cannot wake up in the morning
我再也无法在清晨醒来
Without you on my mind
Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life
而我是否能轻易地让你走入我的生命,再离开?
