听歌学英语:难以割舍的好声音 Undivided Love

"Undivided Love"，带着小调味道的独特小曲，节拍比较轻快，女声阵阵的轻描里的质感就像旋转的小圆舞，带着一点小神秘和小节奏。后面部分的RAP部分也是比较受听众喜爱的类型，由歌手Ella和Alfu Ra & Salif合作完成。Undivided love，不可分割的、专一的爱。 Undivided做形容词表示“不可分割的”，更多的情况下它的意思为“专心的”。比如说Students are listening with undivided attention. 学生们正在专心地听讲。

(Yeah...)
Wherever you are
That's where I wanna be
Til the stars
Have faded all away
In these arms
You'll find what's in your dreams
Never too far
When you call out my name
CHORUS¹
All the way and all the time
Everyday and every night
I just wanna give you my
Undivided love (undivided love)
Longer than the sky is blue
Always and forever true
No pretending, never ending
Undivided love (undivided love)
There never could be
A stronger bond² than this
Eternity³
It won't be long enough
Baby, you are
The reason I exist
When times get hard, baby
I won't give up, no
CHORUS
Deeper than the ocean
Baby, there's emotion
It's bigger than my heart could ever know
(oh no, ooh yeah)

Wherever you are, that's where I wanna be, till the stars have faded all away.
你在哪里，那是我想去的地方，直到星星都隐褪。
Fade: v.逐渐消失；褪色；凋谢。可以用来描述花枯萎、音乐逐渐消失、想法被淡忘等等。
Flowers soon faded when they have been cut.
花被剪下后，很快就会枯萎。
歌词中fade是指星星逐渐消失在夜空。
In these arms, you'll find what's in your dreams. Never too far when you call out my name.
在这些怀抱中，你会找到你的梦想。当你呼喊我的名字，（那些梦想）从来不会太远。
call out 唤起；大声叫唤
Don't worry; I will call out the stops.
别担心，我会报站的。
我们要记住报站可以说成call out the stops，更加书面化的表达是announce the stops。
呼喊我的名字：call out my name
All the way and all the time everyday and every night.
一路走来，一直以来，每一个日日夜夜。
all the way 一路上；自始至终
We had to stand all the way back in the bus.
我们在回程的公共汽车上不得不站着。
all the time 始终，一直
I've kept on thinking about that all the time.
我一直惦记着这件事。
如果你特别思念某人，那么这句歌词就是很好的描述：All the way and all the time everyday and every night. 而歌手在这些日日夜夜里“just wanna give you my undivided love”，意思是：只想给你专一的爱。undived在节目开始已经介绍过了。
Longer than the sky is blue always and forever true. No pretending, never ending,undivided love.
比天蓝的时间还要长，一直、永远真实。没有假装、永不结束。专一的爱。
pretend 假装
pretend to be 扮演成，假装成
Let's pretend to be policemen.
让我们扮演警察吧。
Pretend as if 和pretend like都是常用的表达，装得好像…
