【Adele-Set Fire To The Rain】

中英歌词:

I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet
我放任我的心坠落
而当它坠落时,你出现并认领它
这时是黑暗的,我已经完了
直到你亲吻我的嘴唇,救了我
我的手强有力,但我的膝盖太过脆弱
为了不落后于你的步伐,我在你的怀里站立起来

But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
但是你有我永远不知道的一面,永远不知道的一面
所有你说的事情,它们从来不是真的,从来不是真的
和你玩的游戏,你总是会赢,永远都是赢的

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
不过,我以火焚泪
看着它在我触摸你的脸时倾盆而下
那么,当它燃烧时我痛哭
因为我听到它尖叫着你的名字,你的名字

When laying with you I could stay there
Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better
当我能和你躺在这里
闭上我的双眼,感觉你永远在这里
你和我在一起,比什么都好

'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
因为你有我永远不知道的一面,永远不知道的一面
所有你说的事情,,它们从来不是真的,从来不是真的
和你玩的游戏,你总是会赢,永远赢

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, I felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
不过,我以火焚泪
看着它在我触摸你的脸时倾盆而下
当它燃烧时我痛哭
因为我听到了它尖叫着你的名字,你的名字
我放火烧了雨
而我把我们投入到火焰中
我感觉到有的东西死去了
因为我知道,那是最后一次,最后一次

Sometimes I wake up by the door
And heard you calling, must be waiting for you
Even that when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
有时候,我在门口醒来
听到你在打电话,一定是她在等你
即使我们已经结束了
我无法抑制自己去找你

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, I felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
不过,我以火焚泪
看着它在我触摸你的脸时倾盆而下
当它燃烧时我痛哭
因为我听到了它尖叫着你的名字,你的名字
我放火烧了雨
而我把我们投入到火焰中
我感觉到有的东西死去了
因为我知道,那是最后一次,最后一次,哦
哦,不
让它燃烧,哦
让它燃烧
让它燃烧
