英语歌曲:LDN —lily allen

LDN —lily allen

Riding through the city on my bike all day
Cause the filth¹ took away my licence
It doesn't get me down and I feel ok
Cause the sights that
I'm seeing are priceless
Everything seems to look as it should
But I wonder what goes on behind doors
A fella looking dapper,
but he's sittin with a slapper
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore
You might laugh you might frown
Walkin' round London town
Chorus²
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies
There was a little old lady,
who was walkin down the road
She was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people from the city
havin lunch in the park
I believe that it's called al fresco³
Then a kid came along to offer a hand
But before she had time to accept it
hits her over the head,
doesn't care if she's dead
Cause he's got all her jewellery and wallet
You might laugh you might frown
walkin round London town
Chorus
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies
Life, that's city life,
yeah that's city life,
that's city life
Life, that's city life,
yeah that's city life,
that's city life
Chorus
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Chorus x4

伦敦

我骑着自行车穿越城市(city是伦敦的一个商业区,有点内城的感觉)
因为我的驾照被没收了
但我并没有因此而不开心而是很好
因为更可贵的是风景
万事都像跟看上去的一样
但我想探个究竟到底是不是这样
一个看上去很讲究穿着的人和一个不是那样的人坐在一起
然后我又看到一个拉皮条的跟他的妓女
你也许会嘲笑这些你也许只是皱皱眉头
我正在伦敦散步
太阳在天空上为什么 我却想在别的地方
当你只用眼睛看的时候似乎一切都很好
但你仔细再看 你会看到这些都是假象
一个小老太太正在往下坡路走
似乎很吃力的拿着从tesco买的东西(tesco是英国一流的超市)
城市里很多人都在公园里吃午餐(确实是这样)
我想这就是所谓的al fresco(西班牙语,某种风格的壁画)
然后一个小孩走过来给老太太帮助
但老太太还没时间接受(讽刺)
他就打了老太太 也不管老太太是死是活
因为他已经抢到老太太的珠宝和钱包
你也许会嘲笑这些你也许只是皱皱眉头
我正在伦敦散步
太阳在天空上为什么 我却想在别的地方
当你只用眼睛看的时候似乎一切都很好
但你仔细再看 你会看到这些都是假象
生活 这就是城市生活 是的 这就是城市生活
