听歌学英语: 一路独行 I Walk This Road Alone

I walk this road alone，一首英文版的《一无所有》，依然来自Michael Learns to Rock乐队。世界虽大，没有你，我是无依的。而前路，注定孤单，注定只能一个人走下去。看着歌名，又想到了一句“人生是一场孤独的旅行”。

Looking at a sleeping town 看着这安睡的城
As the world goes round and round世界就那样转动轮回
Sitting here on my own 我独坐一角
As a king that lost his throne¹ 像失去了宝座的国王
We were so in harmony² 一切如此地和谐安详
But now it is a different key 但旋律已不复往昔
Wonder if you played your game想知道你是否也游戏了一回
For some 15 minutes of fame 就为了那些转瞬即逝的名与利的

Oh……
I walk this road alone 我在这条路上孤独地前行
Oh……
Will I find another home 不知我能否找到新的归属
Pushing everything aside 置身一切与不顾

Jumping onto your ride 跳上车一路奔向你
Waiting for you at your door 在门外苦苦等候
Loving you more and more 已越来越沉溺于你
I couldn't tell the truth from fake³ 我已不能辨别真假
And that was a big mistake 才发觉这是个巨大的错误
Gave you everything I had 倾我所有与你
And you treated me so bad 你却如此伤透我心

Oh……唉
I walk this road alone 我在这条路上孤独地前行
Oh……啊
Will I find another home 不知我能否找到新的归属

Looking at a sleeping town 俯瞰这安详的沉睡市镇
As the world goes round and round 而世界转动轮回不止
Sitting here on my own 我独自一人坐在这里
As a king that lost his throne 就像失去了宝座的国王
We were so in harmony 我们沉浸于欢乐喜悦
But now it is a different key 但旋律已然不复往昔
Wonder if you played your game 你是否仍在继续你的游戏
For some 15 minutes of fame 为了那些转瞬即逝的名誉

Oh……唉
I walk this road alone 我在这条路上孤独地前行
Oh……啊
Will I find another home 不知我能否找到新的归属
Oh……啊
I walk this road alone 我在这条路上孤独地前行
Oh……啊
Will I find another home 不知我能否找到新的归属
Oh……啊
I walk this road alone 我在这条路上孤独地前行
Oh……啊
Will I find another home 不知我能否找到新的归属
I walk this road along 我在这条路上孤独地前行
Will I find another home 不知我能否找到新的归属
