Nine Million Bicycles 杨澜爱听的英文歌曲
演唱者：Katie Melua

20几岁的小女孩，甜美清澈的嗓音，唱着仿佛《第一次亲密接触》式的情话：北京有900万辆自行车，这是一个无法否定的事实，就如我爱你至死不渝；这世间大约有60亿的芸芸众生，或多或少，我是何其渺小，而你却是我爱的全部……这首单曲一经问世就横扫欧洲各国排行榜，所在专辑《Piece By Piece》也荣登英国专辑排行冠军。——这是凯蒂-梅卢阿（Katie Melua）的《900万辆自行车》，慢板爵士的抒情小曲，曾被杨澜选为她博客的背景音乐。

英文歌词
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing.
That's a fact. It's a thing we can't deny¹
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
We are twelve billion light years from the edge²
That's a guess. No one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar³. Just believe everything that I say
There are six billion people in the world, more or less
And it makes me feel quite small. But you're the one I love the most of all

We're high on the wire with the world in our sight
And I'll never tire of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact. It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die

北京城里有900万辆自行车。这是个事实
是我们无法否认的事，就如我爱你至死不渝
我们离时间尽头有120亿光年。那只是个猜测，没人能说那是真的
但我知道我会一直跟你在一起

你的爱天天都温暖着我，别说我是说谎者，要相信我所说的一切
在这世上有60亿人，差不多。这让我感觉挺渺小。但你是我最爱的人

我们站得很高，眼里能看见全世界。而且我从不厌倦，你所给我的爱

北京城里有900万辆自行车，这是个事实
这事我们无法否认，就像我会爱你至死
北京城里有900万辆自行车。而你也知道我会爱你直到死去
