Nothing lasts forever, Even cold November rain

阮一峰發表於2005-12-19

很偶然地下載了Guns and Roses樂隊的MV "November Rain"。

剛聽到前奏,就覺得有種不一樣的東西。等全部看完,我的情緒簡直無法平靜,只覺得它是我過去一年中聽到得最好的英文歌。

我知道這首歌極其有名,是搖滾史上的名曲,但我確實是今天第一次聽到它。我上一次聽Guns and Roses的歌,還是在高中裡,然後這麼多年來,幾乎從不聽歐美搖滾。

平靜的旋律下面,一顆痛苦而熱烈的心在真誠的呼喊。我想這是它最打動我的地方。

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

沒有一顆愛人的心能夠持久,就像在這寒冷的十一月的雨中拿著蠟燭。

So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

如果你要愛我,就請你毫無保留。否則,我寧願站在這寒冷的十一月的雨中。

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

我們依然能找到出路。沒有什麼能永恆不變,哪怕是這寒冷的十一月的雨。

(完)
