 Beauty And The Beast” By Ariana Grande, John Legend







Lyrics

Tale as old as time

古老的童話故事

True as it can be

卻真真切切

Barely even friends

原本兩不相識

Then somebody bends

而當一方開始主動

Unexpectedly

結果竟出乎我們意料的美好

Just a little change

只是一點小改變

Small to say the least

真的只是一點點(並無誇大)

Both a little scared

一些些恐懼

Neither one prepared

毫無準備

Beauty and the Beast

這是美女與野獸的故事

 (2)

Ever just the same

這感覺永遠都相同

Ever a surprise

每天永遠都是驚喜

Ever as before

感覺都不變

Ever just as sure

這答案是多麼肯定

As the sun will rise

就像旭日東昇般不變的道理

Tale as old as time

古老的童話故事

Tune as old as song

佳謠般被人們傳唱

Bitter-sweet and strange

苦甜混雜

Finding you can change

試著改變自己

Learning you were wrong

從過去的錯誤學習

Certain as the sun

就像夕陽

Rising in the east

在東方升起

Tale as old as time

古老的童話故事

Song as old as rhyme

成了千古佳話

Beauty and the Beast

這是美女與野獸的故事

Tale as old as time

古老的童話故事

Song as old as rhyme

成了千古佳話

Beauty and the Beast

這是美女與野獸的故事










“Turning Tables ” By Adele





Lyrics



Close enough to start a war
距離近到能夠嗅出火藥味
All that I have is on the floor
我已經攤牌了
God only knows what we're fighting for
只有上帝才知道我們在爭執什麼
All that I say, you always say more
不管我說什麼,你總有更多話要說
I can't keep up with your turning tables
我跟不上你不停轉動的輪盤
Under your thumb, I can't breathe
在你的掌控之下,我無法呼吸
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
所以我不會讓你進到能傷害我的距離以內
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
不,我不會求你,是你拋棄了我
I can't give you what you think you gave me
我無法給你那些你以為你給了我的
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables, to turning tables
是時候向命運的輪盤道別了。再會了。
Under hardest guise I see ooh
在最堅強的外表底下我看見了
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
愛情遺失的地方,你的鬼魂糾纏著
I've braved a hundred storms to leave you
我鼓起了撐過所有風暴的勇氣離開你
As hard as you try, no, I will never be knocked down
不管你再做什麼,我都不會改變心意了
I can't keep up with your turning tables
我跟不上你不停轉動的輪盤
Under your thumb, I can't breathe
在你的掌控之下,我無法呼吸
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
所以我不會讓你進到能傷害我的距離以內
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
不,我不會求你,是你拋棄了我
I can't give you what you think you gave me
我無法給你那些你以為你給了我的
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables, to turning tables
是時候向命運的輪盤道別了。再會了。
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior
下次我會更勇敢,我會當自己的救世主
When the thunder calls for me
當隆隆的雷聲提醒著我
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior
下次我會更加勇敢,我會當自己的救世主
Standing on my own two feet
靠自己的雙腳站立
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
所以我不會讓你進到能傷害我的距離以內
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
不,我不會求你,是你拋棄了我
I can't give you what you think you gave me
我無法給你那些你以為你給了我的
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables, to turning tables
是時候向命運的輪盤道別了。再會了。
Turning tables, yeah, turning
不停旋轉的輪盤,不停旋轉著
