听歌学英语:清新节奏感小调 We Owned The Night


在以前的节目中我们介绍过Lady Antebellum的"Need You Now"，今天为大家带来的是他们第三张专辑Own The Night中的"We Owned The Night"（午夜情深）。2006年夏天，三位志同道合的年轻人，凭着一股对音乐的执着，在美国组成了"Lady Antebellum"战前女神，也有人把这个组合称做“怀旧女郎”。 他们的作品是带有20世纪60年代R&B灵魂乐和70年代的独特风格的作品，以揉合古典与现代风格重新定义乡村音乐。

Tell me have you ever wanted Someone so much it hurts?
Your lips¹ keep trying to speak
But you just can't find the words
Well I had this dream once
I held it in my hands
She was the purest² beauty³
But not the common kind
She had a way about her
That made you feel alive
And for a moment
You made the world stand still
Yeah we owned the night
You had me dim⁴ the lights;
You danced just like a child
The wine spilled on your dress
And all you did was smile
Yeah, it was perfect
I hold it in my mind
Yeah, we owned the night
When the summer rolls around
And the sun starts sinking⁵ down
I still remember you
Oh, I remember you
And I wonder where you are
Are you looking at those same stars again?
Do you remember when?
We woke under a blanket
All tangled up in skin
Not knowing in that moment
We'd never speak again
But it was perfect
I never will forget
When we owned the night
Yeah, we owned the night
Yeah, we owned the night
Oh woah oh woah oh woah oh woah
