沪江小编:这是绿日乐队为纪念已逝的英国灵魂、爵士歌手Amy Whitehouse而写的歌。这首歌以乐唱悲,歌曲中犹如孩童般重复呢喃着“Amy,don't you go, I want you around”唱得如此动人心弦,是对一个鲜活生命的真诚挽留与哀悼。

Green Day - Amy

英文歌词:

Green Day - Amy

Is your heart singing out of tune
Are your eyes just singing the blues
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes

No one really knows about your soul
And I barely even know your name
Burning rhythms and posting lies
and a bunch of fools drown in shame

Amy don't you go
I want you around
Singin' woah please don't go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?

Did you tattoo a lucky charm
To keep you out of harms way?
Warding off all evil signs
But it never really kept you safe

and You're too young for the golden age
Cause the record bin's been replaced
27 gone without a trace
And you walked away from your drink

Amy don't you go
I want you around
Singin' woah please don't go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?

Amy please ~amy don't you go

Is your heart singing out of tune
Are you eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
May I have this last dance
By chance if we should meet?
Can you write me a lullaby?
So we can sing you to sleep

Amy don't you go
I want you around
Singin' woah please don't go
