【Katy Perry - Firework】

中英歌词:

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?
你可曾觉得自己像个垃圾袋,
在风中飘来飘去
想要重新开始?
你可曾感觉到,自己跟纸一样薄
就像一所卡片搭建的房屋
风一吹就会坍塌?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
你可曾感觉,自己已被深埋土壤?
在地下拼命呐喊
却始终无人听见
你可知道 其实你还有一线希望
因为你心中还有火花
你只需要点燃这火花
让它发光

Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
尽情享受此夜
把它当作七.四独立日的夜晚
宝贝 因为你是一团焰火
来吧,让他们看到你的价值
使他们尖叫 噢 噢 噢

As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own
当你绚丽的焰火划破夜空
宝贝 你是一团焰火
来吧 让你的焰火灿烂爆发
使他们尖叫 噢 噢 噢
让他们对你心生敬畏

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
你不必觉得自己很多余
你是独一无二的,是不可替代的
但愿你知道未来的光明
风雨过后 就会出现彩虹

Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
大概上帝把所有的门都关上的原因
就是要你冲开那扇通向完美的门
就像一道闪电 你的心将会爆发
当时辰一到 你就会明白
你只需要点燃这火花
让它发光 让它闪耀

Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
尽情享受此夜
把它当作七.四独立日的夜晚
宝贝 因为你是一团焰火
来吧,让他们看到你的价值
使他们尖叫 噢 噢 噢

As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
当你绚丽的焰火划破夜空
宝贝 你是一团焰火
来吧 让你的焰火灿烂爆发
使他们尖叫 噢 噢 噢

You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough
让他们对你心生敬畏
Boom, boom, boom
比月亮还要明亮
这一直以来都存在于你的心底
而现在是该放开心扉的时候了

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
宝贝 因为你是一团焰火
来吧,让他们看到你的价值
使他们尖叫 噢 噢 噢

As you shoot across the sky-y-y

宝贝 你是一团焰火
来吧 让你的焰火灿烂爆发
使他们尖叫 噢 噢 噢
让他们对你心生敬畏

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
比月亮还要明亮
Boom, boom, boom
比月亮还要明亮
