听歌学英语:Aren't You Glad(陈奕迅)

 

《Aren't You Glad》是陈奕迅出道十一年来唯一的一首英文歌曲，由英国人Russell　Harris作曲、填词，讲述了一个早期生活潦倒的青年人，遭到追求物质生活的女友的抛弃，后奋发成功的励志故事。故事并不新鲜，但歌声动人，我们一起来学习！

　　Aren't you glad you didn't stay with me
Bohemian life and instability
You went off to university
And you took your love away from me
Endless nights, lovers, friends and fun
Big-City lights, your new life had begun

　　And as the world turns on and on
Love is lost and love is won, laughed and cried when we were young
You went your own way. I survived
And did you ever see everything inside of me?

　　So now you live your life in luxury
Double glazing¹, turbo washing machine
And your fiancé is boring as hell
You never laugh, you're both professional
You know that film. That I'd started to write?
It's a box-office smash, I'm on the next flight
To get my award on TV tonight
Looking back, I think I've done alright

　　Oh, aren't you glad you didn't stay with me?
You didn't want my love,
So aren’t you glad, aren't you glad, aren't you glad?
Aren't you glad, aren't you glad,
Aren't you glad, aren't you glad
