昨天看到Taylor終於更新了文說要發專輯,

我的心情可是直接從好變成超好(昨天1D十週年)

今天MV一出我就一口氣把整張專輯的歌都聽完了。

這次的風格是妥妥的民謠風,每首歌的歌詞都美的如詩,

不過我最喜歡的就是這首帶著鄉村風的”Betty”

 

這首歌其實要跟專輯的主打“Cardigan”,及另一首”August”做對照,

以一對小情侶JamesBetty為主角的敘述者口吻來寫的歌,

他們愛了一個夏天,然後離開了彼此,

有點憂愁、悲傷,可是更多的是純真和美好與可愛。

 

「我只有十七歲,懵懂無知。可我知道,我想念你。」

是初戀,甜甜卻帶著酸澀的滋味。

 

 

[Verse 1]

Betty, I won't make assumptions

Betty,我不會去做設想

About why you switched your homeroom but

關於妳為何換了教室

I think it's 'cause of me

因為我想一切都是因為我

Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard

Betty,有次我滑著滑板

When I passed your house

經過妳家

It's like I couldn't breathe

我簡直無法呼吸

 

 

[Pre-Chorus]

You heard the rumors from Inez

妳從Inez身上聽到一些謠言

You can't believe a word she says

妳不該相信她所說的

Most times, but this time it was true

但這次是真話

The worst thing that I ever did

我做過最錯的事

Was what I did to you

便是對妳做的

 

 

[Chorus]

But if I just showed up at your party

可若我當時出現在妳的派對

Would you have me?

妳會給我一個擁抱嗎?

Would you want me?

妳會想要嗎?

Would you tell me to go fuck myself?

妳會了然拒我於外?

Or lead me to the garden?

還是妳會帶我到花園?

In the garden would you trust me

那時妳會相信我嗎

If I told you it was just a summer thing?

若我說那不過是一場盛夏的事?
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything

我不過十七歲,懵懂無知
But I know I miss you

卻知悉著,我想念妳

 

[Verse 2]

Betty, I know where it all went wrong

Betty,我知道事情是從哪時不對勁
Your favorite song was playing

妳最愛的歌
From the far side of the gym

從遠處的健身房傳來
I was nowhere to be found

我卻躲了起來
I hate the crowds, you know that

我討厭人群,妳是知道的
Plus, I saw you dance with him

再加上,我看見妳和他正跳著舞

 

[Pre-Chorus]

You heard the rumors from Inez

妳從Inez身上聽到一些謠言

You can't believe a word she says

妳不該相信她所說的

Most times, but this time it was true

但這次是真話

The worst thing that I ever did

我做過最錯的事

Was what I did to you

便是對妳做的

 

[Chorus]

But if I just showed up at your party

可若我當時出現在妳的派對

Would you have me?

Would you want me?

妳會想要嗎?

Would you tell me to go fuck myself?

妳會了然拒我於外?

Or lead me to the garden?

還是妳會帶我到花園?

In the garden would you trust me

那時妳會相信我嗎

If I told you it was just a summer thing?

若我說那不過是一場盛夏的事?
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything

我不過十七歲,懵懂無知
But I know I miss you

卻知悉著,我想念妳

 

[Bridge]

I was walking home on broken cobblestones

我沿著殘碎的鵝卵石路回了家

Just thinking of you

腦中想的全是妳

When she pulled up like

當她停下來

A figment of my worst intentions

我已想好最壞的打算

She said "James, get in, let's drive”

她說:「James,上車,我們該走了。」

Those days turned into nights

那些日日夜夜

Slept next to her, but

躺在她身邊
I dreamt of you all summer long

整個夏天妳都在我夢裡

 

[Verse 3]

Betty, I'm here on your doorstep

Betty,此刻我就在妳家門前

And I planned it out for weeks now

我已經計畫了整整一星期

But it's finally sinkin' in

最終還是明白了

Betty, right now is the last time

 Betty,此時此刻是最後一次

I can dream about what happens when

我可以想像
You see my face again

當妳再次見到我,會是什麼表情

 

[Pre-Chorus]

The only thing I wanna do

我僅僅只是想要

Is make it up to you

與妳重歸於好

So I showed up at your party

所以我出現在妳的派對上

Yeah, I showed up at your party

對,我現身在妳的派對

 

[Chorus]

Yeah, I showed up at your party

我還是來了妳的派對
Will you have me?

妳會給我一個擁抱嗎?

Will you love me?

妳會愛我嗎?

Will you kiss me on the porch

妳會在入口處

In front of all your stupid friends?

當著妳那些朋友面吻我嗎?

If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?

若妳吻我,會是我夢中的那樣嗎?

Will it patch your broken wings?

妳那殘缺的雙翼能否得到修復?

I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything

我不過十七歲,懵懂無知
But I know I miss you

卻知悉著,我想念妳

 

[Outro]

Standing in your cardigan

穿上妳的羊毛衫
Kissin' in my car again

再一次的車內親吻
Stopped at a streetlight

止於街燈下

You know I miss you

妳知道我想妳了
