“Always Remember Us This Way” BY Lady Gaga


That Arizona sky
亞利桑那州的天空
Burnin' in your eyes
正映照在你澄澈的雙眸中
You look at me and babe I wanna catch on fire
親愛的,只要你深情地望著我,就能讓愛火蔓延我的全身
It’s buried in my soul
這深深埋藏在我的靈魂中
Like California gold
如同加州的黃金般難以挖掘
You found the light in me that I couldn’t find
但你卻能找出我從未發覺的美好一面
 
So when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words
所以當我情緒激動到難以言語之際
Every time we say goodbye baby it hurts
每次與你道別,都讓我心痛不已
When the sun goes down and the band won't play
當夕陽的餘暉漸漸逝去的曲終人散之際
I'll always remember us this way
我仍會永遠記得我們現在的樣子

Lovers in the night
我們像是愛人們般在夜晚中親熱
Poets tryin' to write
我們如同試著寫出優美詩句的詩人們
We don't know how to rhyme but damn we try
儘管我們無法完全讓對方滿意,但我們的確努力過了
But all I really know
但我確切知道的是
You're where I wanna go
你就是我想要追尋的人
The part of me that's you will never die
只要我在的地方,你的精神將能夠永垂不朽

So when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words
所以在我被高漲情緒逼得難以言語之際
Every time we say goodbye baby it hurts
每次的道別都讓我心如刀割
When the sun goes down and the band won't play
當曙光逐漸沒入地平線,樂聲也不再悠揚飄盪時
I'll always remember us this way
我仍然會銘記著我們現在的模樣

Oh yeah
I don't wanna be just a memory baby yeah
親愛的,我不希望我們的關係只能成為追憶

Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo hoo hoo hoo
Oo oo oo oo hoo hoo hooooooooo

So when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words
所以當我因為情緒激昂而無法言語之際
Every time we say goodbye baby it hurts
每次我們依依不捨地道別時,都讓我心痛難耐
When the sun goes down and the band won't play
當夜幕低垂,樂聲不再響起的時候
I'll always remember us this way
我仍然會記得我們現在的樣子
Way yeah

When you look at me and the whole world fades
當你深情地凝視著我時,我開始無法注意除了你以外的世界
I'll always remember us this way
我將會永遠記得我們現在的模樣
Oouuu hmmmm
Ooouuu hmmmmmm
