中国有歌词入选课本的么？红歌除外。

连美国人自己都在吐槽的2B榜就别拿出来代表欧美音乐的品味了

民谣系 鲍伯迪伦 Leonard Cohen joni mitchell什么的

Richard Marx的 Now and forever 歌词就不错啊



Whenever i`m weary form the battles that rage in my head
You make sense of madness when my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way but still you seem to understand
Now and forever i will be your girl

Sometimes i just hold you
Too caugh up in me to see
I`m holding a fortune that heaven has given to me
I`ll try to show you each and every way i can
Now and forever i will be your girl

Now i can rest my worries and always be sure
That i won`t be alone anymore
If i`d only known you were there all the time
All this time

Until the day the ocean doesn`t touch the sand
Now and forever i will be youy man
Now and forever i will be youy man

Grad Torino



So tenderly
your story is
nothing more than what you see
or what you've done or will become
standing strong do you belong
in your skin; just wondering

gentle now the tender breeze blows
whispers through my Gran Torino
whistling another tired song

engine hums and bitter dreams grow
heart locked in a Gran Torino
it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
it beats a lonely rhythm all night long


by Jamie Cullum

Realign all the stars above my head
Warning signs travel far
I drink instead on my own Oh! how I’ve known
the battle scars and worn out beds

gentle now a tender breeze blows
whispers through a Gran Torino
whistling another tired song

engines humm and bitter dreams grow
heart locked in a Gran Torino
it beats a lonely rhythm all night long

these streets are old they shine
with the things I’ve known
and breaks through the trees
their sparkling

your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you’ve left behind

So tenderly your story is
nothing more than what you see
or what you’ve done or will become
standing strong do you belong
in your skin; just wondering

gentle now a tender breeze blows
whispers through the Gran Torino
whistling another tired song
engines humm and bitter dreams grow
a heart locked in a Gran Torino
it beats a lonely rhythm all night long

may I be so bold and still
I need someone to hold
that shudders my skin
their sparkling

your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you’ve left behind

so realign all the stars above my head
warning signs travel far
i drink instead on my own oh how ive known
the battle scars and worn out beds

gentle now a tender breeze blows
whispers through the Gran Torino
whistling another tired song
engines humm and better dreams grow
heart locked in a Gran Torino
it beats a lonely rhythm all night long

People Help The People



God knows what is hiding in that weak and drunken heart
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
A Hard-faced Queens of misadventure

God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
Fiery from the muted angels
Giving love and getting nothing back

# People help the people
. And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
. People help the people
.And nothing will drag you down

&Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
. I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
.That turned, all those good hearts away

God knows what is hiding in this world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets

God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess the loneliness came knocking
No on needs to be alone, oh save me

哪些烂？说具体点。

楼主自己土鳖。。

只能说你听的全是些无病呻吟的。。

中国也好意思说人家歌词烂。。。

加州招待所

听英国的去，美国流行乐坛现在确实没品，歌词就是我想要你我想要你要干你要干你，mv越拍越黄，英国平均水平高多了

最喜欢甲壳虫的《挪威森林》的歌词

列侬的imagine啊 多好的意境

迈克尔杰克逊啊，写得好的太多了。随便贴两个：

Gone Too Soon 稍纵即逝
Like a comet 像一颗彗星
Blazing 'cross the evening sky 燃烧着划过夜空
Gone too soon 稍纵即逝

Like a rainbow 像一道彩虹
Fading in the twinkling of an eye 眨眼之间消褪它的色彩
Gone too soon 稍纵即逝

Shiny and sparkly 闪烁着，闪耀着
And splendidly bright 壮丽的光辉
Here one day 随日而来
Gone one night 随夜而去

Like the loss of sunlight 就像多云的午后
On a cloudy afternoon 被遮盖的阳光
Gone too soon 稍纵即逝

Like a castle 就像一座城堡
Built upon a sandy beach 建立在沙滩之上
Gone too soon 稍纵即逝

Like a perfect flower 像一朵娇艳绝美的鲜花
That is just beyond your reach 却远在彼岸
Gone too soon 稍纵即逝

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight 天生愉悦、感动、欢喜
Here one day 随日而来
Gone one night 随夜而去

Like a sunset 就像夕阳
Dying with the rising of the moon 消逝于升起的月亮
Gone too soon 稍纵即逝

Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok, are you ok Annie?
Annie are you ok?
Will you tell us that youre ok?

看翻译喷了，我高中英语水平都看得懂英语流行歌曲的词，寂静之声和斯卡布罗集市不解释

外文歌词你看中文翻译的啊? 我了个去.

只截取个副歌算什么事啊。其实这首歌主歌部分写得也不错，很有故事感和画面感。
再说这首歌是特例，各种喘气、吐词、口技都转换成节奏，MJ完全是在玩音乐。

[本帖最后由 ppz2001 于 2013-3-18 16:33 编辑]

不好意思标题有问题改了
我不是说欧美歌词都烂中国歌词好啊！我也知道很多好的英文词
我的意思是看B榜，一些歌词写的一坨翔，但是名次还挺高，不太能理解
具体哪个歌忘了，不好意思
确实不了解B榜的地位，我估计连爱好者都不算，就会看看B榜，这不来问了吗
看翻译的意思是我看的B榜视频有中英字幕
还有个问题是欧美有没有比较著名的专业词曲作家？就类似于林夕啊三宝啊在我们心中形成一种品牌的

本帖最后由 億万千 于 2013-3-18 16:38 通过手机版编辑

还有就是一些黑人音乐，歌词比较粗俗，这些东西有分级吗

欧美除了披头士，猫王，其他都是渣！

美国B榜排名第一那个我有点服～～

Blowing In The Wind
Bob Dylan

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

yes How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
yes How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
yes How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

yes How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
yes How many deaths will it take
Till he knows that too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

bb是欢乐向吧。。。我特别喜欢thrift shop。。。

call me maybe

mark

两位大相径庭的歌手，一个是Pop加Folk，一个是Hip-Hop和Rap，却共同演绎了一首有趣的曲子。Dido本身的Thank you就已然脍炙人口，叙述一个闹市强制拆迁故事的MV也相当不错，嫁接到Stan一曲中却有了别样的风味。而《Stan》一曲据说则讲述了一个真实的故 事。一个叫Stan的歌迷给Eminem写了两封信，都没有回音。他很伤心，一个雨天载着女朋友疯狂飙车，结果出车祸，掉进了河里，两个都死了，还带上了 女朋友肚子里的孩子。Eminem看到了这个消息，非常震惊，写下了Stan这首歌。值得一提是，在这首歌的MV 中，Dido还客串了一把Stan的女友。

整首歌是以Stan和Em之间的通信为歌词，Eminem唱这首歌的目的是希望他的歌迷们不要像Stan那样，要好好的活着。

在《滚石评选500有史最伟大的歌》里，《Stan》排在第290位。

音乐当然有分级，看下图

其实古典乐也是很黄很暴力的。

应该说各种艺术表现形式就是按人类的本性来的，都差不多的。

forever young ，每次听都想哭

Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait
We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit
Life is a chahkra
The music's for the sad man
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our own faces into the sun
Praising our leaders
Were getting in turn
The musics played by the madmen

Forever young, i want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever and ever
REPEAT

Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are the melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why dont they stay young
Its so hard to get on to a better course
I dont want to perish like a feeling horse
Youths like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures could happen today
So many songs we could learn to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Come true

林夕这种档次的在美国数都数不清。就别说欧洲了。
你只要知道流行音乐的根源是什么就行了，日本抄欧美，港台抄日本，华语流行音乐就是捡点剩下的边角料。
质量不说了，数量上就差了千百倍

只看b榜也叫听欧美音乐么，没法说呀

很喜欢Diamonds and rust

I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that#s not unusual
It#s just that the moon is full
And you decided to call

And here i sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice i#d known
A couple of light years ago
Headed straight for a fall

But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Now i see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
Now we#re smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over washington square
Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me we both could#ve died then and there

Now you#re telling me you#re not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague

Cause i need some of that vagueness now
It#s all come back too clearly, yes, i love you dearly
And if you#re offering me diamonds and rust, i#ve already paid

But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust

意思是不是像林夕这种词作家在欧美很多，所以形成不了像林夕之类的“招牌式”？

按LZ的说法，国内也是除了爱就是分手

阿戴尔那几首歌词都不错

lz 听过john mayer的歌吗？音乐诗人的称号不是白给的。

囧，真没地图炮意思啊，我说的话很容易让人误解吗

Ipso Facto Axis Mundi

Run
Snow Patrol

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Anyway from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower,slower
We don't have time for that
All i want is find an easier way
To get out of our little head

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

一般我比较喜欢欧洲这边的写的歌

井底之蛙
