听歌学英语: 因你过分美好 You Are Too Pretty(在线收听

All it really took was a look from across the room
I caught your eye and I knew I was doomed
To fall deeply for the idea of you and me
Together could I ever make this dream come true?
仅仅是那一眼穿过房间里的人群
我捕捉到了你的目光
然后明白我的命运在这一刻已注定
与你相伴的渴望让我无力自拔
这梦想可会有成真的一天?
Imagine my sweet surprise
When you said you felt likewise
当你说你同我一样也有这样的感觉时
你能想象我那甜蜜的惊喜吗?
And I thought “You’re so pretty”
But too pretty for someone like me
I just want this feeling to go away
You’re too pretty for a girl like me
然而你是那么美好
太美好了我配不上你
是的对于我这样一个女孩
你美好得有些过分了
我多想摆脱这样的感觉
If they ask I would sing all your praises
Tell them all about your charms and grace
And how you’d always say that you’d take me so many places
Will they only see a perfect face?
如果他们质疑你
我会歌唱着赞美你
告诉他们你的魅力你的优雅
还有你说的那些话你引领我到的那些地方
这样他们还会仅仅看到你完美的脸庞吗?
Now I’m spending all my time on your outside
But with every pretty face there’s only downside

I suppose that I was hoping to prove them all wrong
That I can get past your surface
To the innermost secrets
But I keep getting stuck because
You’re so pretty
我多想透过你的外表
去探寻你最深的内在
来证明他们是错误的
可是我到底止步不前了
