Bryan Adams 的這首搖滾佳作Summer Of '69
行雲流水般的熱鬧曲式下卻有揮之不去的寂寥
談到年少時的繽紛夢想
有人∼神采飛揚
有人∼感傷落寞
但∼這就是人生吧？
儘管早已逝去
但我猜∼每個人都有個持續到永遠的1969年夏天吧？
《Summer Of '69》
Artist：Bryan Adams
Album：Reckless
I got my first real six-string,
我擁有的第一把吉他
Bought it at the five-and-dimes,
是在二手店買的
Played it till my fingers bled,
每每彈到手指破皮流血
It was the summer of '69.
那是1969年的夏天
Me and some guys from school
我和學校的一些傢伙
Had a band and we tried real hard.
組了個樂團而且練得非常認真
Jimmy quit and Jodie got married,
Jimmy後來退出而Jodie結了婚
I shoulda know we'd never get far.
我當初就該知道我們的樂團沒啥搞頭
Oh, when I look back now,
喔,當我現在回顧
And if I had the choice,
而且如果可以再次選擇
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there,
我會願意停留在那個時候
Those were the best days of my life.
那是我人生中棒的時光
Ain't no use in complainin'
抱怨是沒用的
When you've got a job to do,
工作還是得幹
Spent my evening's down at the drive-in,
晚上到汽車電影院消磨時間
And that's where I met you.
而我認識了妳
Standin' at your mama's porch,
站在你們家的前廊
You told me that you'd wait forever,
妳告訴我說你會永遠等我
And when you held my hand
而當妳握住我的手
I knew that it was now or never,
我知道如果我們此刻無法廝守那就再也不可能了
Those were the best days of my life.
那些日子是我人生中最棒的時光
Back in the summer of '69.
回想1969年的夏天
Man, we were killin' time,
天啊！我們都是百無聊賴的消磨時間
We were young and restless,
年輕又焦躁
We needed to unwind.
需要放鬆精神
I guess nothin' can last forever,
我猜沒有事情能夠持續到永久
Forever, no.
And now the times are a-chanign',
物換星移
Look at everything that's come and gone.
看著來來往往的一切
Every time I play that old six-string,
每當我彈起我的老吉他
Think about you, wonder what went wrong.
就會想到妳，不知道當初到底哪裡做錯了
Standin' by your mama's porch,
站在妳家的前廊
You told me it would last forever.
妳告訴我這段感情會永久下去
Oh, the way you held my hand,
喔 妳握住我的手的方式
I knew that it was now or never.
我知道如果我們此刻無法廝守那就再也不可能了
Those were the best days of my life.
那些日子是我人生中最棒的時光
