听歌学英语:当星星都失落 When The Stars Go Blue
"When The Stars Go Blue"是一首很优美的歌，原唱是美国男歌手Ryan Adams.。但在今天的节目中给大家放送的是男女合唱版本的"When The Stars Go Blue"（当星星都失落）。在文学里我们说借景抒情，在歌曲中又何尝不是这样呢？当星星都失落的时候，女孩儿独自起舞，脚踏木屐、身披嫁纱，做一朵黑夜里独自绽放的七里香。你看到了吗？Blue本意为蓝色， 蓝调音乐就是指舒缓低沉的那种，于是blue有了引申含义，表示“忧郁的”。下面我们来听歌—When The Stars Go Blue。
Dancin' where the stars go blue
Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown
Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue
Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue, yeah
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you, I'll follow you, I'll follow you
I'll follow you, I'll follow you, yeah
Where do you go, yeah
Where do you go, Where do you go
