英文歌曲:Last Goodbye

Last Goodbye

Jeff Buckley

This is our last goodbye

I hate to feel the love between us die.

But it's over

Just hear this and then I'll go:

You gave me more to live for,

More than you'll ever know.

Well, this is our last embrace¹,

Must I dream and always see your face?

Why can't we overcome this wall?

Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please kiss me,
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation².

Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"?

And did you rush to the phone to call?

Was there a voice unkind³ in the back of your mind saying,

"Maybe, you didn't know him at all,

you didn't know him at all,

oh, you didn't know"?

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime,
Burning clues⁴ into this heart of mine.
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memories
Offer signs that it's over, it's over.

  "Last Goodbye"是美国创作歌手、吉他演奏家Jeff Buckley专辑《Grace》中的第三曲目，歌曲原名为"Unforgiven"，这首歌曲为Jeff Buckley赢得了甚多赞誉，在1995年的美国公告牌现代摇滚单曲榜上获得了第19名。Jeff Buckley在人世间的30年，那首《Hallelujah》使听者不禁回想自己的一生，以致现在听着"Last Goodbye"仍充满感慨。2009年，性感美女斯嘉丽·约翰逊（Scarlett Johansson）在为其参演的影片《他其实没那么喜欢你》 He's Just Not That into You也翻唱了这首"Last Goodbye"，别有一番风味。
