知道westlife(西城男孩)的人大多数都会知道uptown girl这首歌,这首歌能使人的心情一下子激动起来,获得了许多人的好评。第一次听这首歌,你能够被那欢快的节奏给吸引,尤其是Bryan那段"And when she knows what she wants from her time......" 如果你心情不好,听听这首歌也是个很好的主意,可以让你一下子舒畅起来。
在欧美国家很多大城市里,uptown指的是开发好,相对于城中央的老房子更豪华的住宅区。这归咎于他们的城市发展。大多数市中心的房子年代较久,比较破(不像中国喜欢拆),治安也不好,可以说是贫民居住的地方。于是他们就向周边辐射发展,所以很多所谓“郊区“比市中心繁华多了,也是富人居住的地方。uptown girl说的就是住在那里的富家小姐,back street guy指的是住在市中心的“小混混“之类。
虽然现在社会是极具现实的,但是只要你是奋进向上的男子,即使暂时无法获得Uptown Girl的芳心,总有一天,你的魅力会蔓延到她们眼底的~
一起来听下这首Uptown Girl吧~
UPTOWN GIRL歌词
Shane:
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Bryan:
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
Nicky:
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
Mark:
with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
All:
Oh......
Shane:
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
Bryan:
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
Kian:
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
Shane:
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
All:
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl

中文翻译
窈窕淑女
她住在那高档的住宅区
我赌她从没跟街头男孩交往过
我赌她妈妈也从没跟她说过为什么不可
我想交个窈窕淑女
她住在那高档的住宅区
只要是热血青年就有机会
现在她来寻找乡村男孩
那就是我呀
日子一天天过去
她会明白她想要什么
等它从梦中醒来
就会做好决定
她会发现我这人不错
因为我们相爱了
我在她的世界看见过她
看得出她已经玩腻了她的高档玩具
还有那些富家公子送她的高档礼物
她现在有其他的选择了
窈窕淑女
你知道我没钱给你买珍珠首饰
但搞不好那天我的好运来了
她就会知道我是多么好的人
那时我就成功了
当她走在路上
她看起来是那么婀娜
当她和别人聊天时
她会说我们俩是一对
她会发现我这人不错
因为我们相爱了
她住在那高档的住宅区
只要是热血青年就有机会
现在她来寻找乡村男孩
那就是我呀
窈窕淑女
她是我的窈窕淑女
你知道我们相爱了
我跟窈窕淑女恋爱了
我的窈窕淑女
