Sarah van Zyl-Like They Used To(中英歌詞)
Silly am I to live behind the times and embrace the past
虛度光陰沉浸於過往
Instead of throwing it away
而不是拋下它的我是如此愚昧
Well I say to you
然而我現在能對你說
We can learn from yesterday
我們可以從過去獲得成長
It‘s not all about the new
而不是只有現在
Crazy am I to have believed in a time when life was simple and free
曾經自以為生活是如此簡單而自由
It never was nor will it be
但其實不然
So I say to you
我可以告訴你
In the future lurks a storm
未來可能潛伏著風暴與阻礙
While the past is dry and warm
即使過去安逸而溫暖
*So when you ask me what I wanna do on a starry night like this
所以當你在這樣的星夜中 問我想做什麼的時候
There‘s only one thing that can take me away
對我來說只有一個 可以讓我如此魂牽夢縈
So I say
我說
I wanna dance like they used to before I was born
我想像他們從前 就在我出生前那樣盡情舞動
To some rock ‘n rollin‘ Motown soul
在搖滾的摩城音樂裡
Slip‘n slide and twist‘n jive
搖擺扭動 恣意忘我
The songs of those days take me far away to another place
回憶中的那些歌帶我遠離這裡
And I always feel so safe
讓我覺得安心
So I say to you
我可以告訴你
Let those sweet old melodies
就讓那些甜蜜而悠遠的旋律
Fill your mind with fantasies*
幻化成想像填補你的心靈
We all think that the time before ours was sublime
我們都認為過去是美好令人難以忘懷的
But all that matters is today
但重要的是現在
And we can spend it any way
我們可以盡情揮霍
I wanna dance like they used to before I was born
我想像他們從前 就在我出生前那樣盡情舞動
To some rock ‘n rollin‘ Motown soul
在搖滾的摩城音樂裡
Slip‘n slide and twist‘n jive
搖擺扭動 恣意忘我
I wanna dance like they used to before I was born
我想像他們從前 就在我出生前那樣盡情舞動
To some rock ‘n rollin‘ Motown soul
在搖滾的摩城音樂裡
Slip‘n slide and twist‘n jive all night
搖擺扭動 恣意忘我直至徹夜
