1. 歌词品鉴
Rolling In The Deep
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally, I can see you crystal clear①
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your sheet bare
See how I'll leave, with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love, remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling…
We could have had it all②
Rolling in the deep③
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it to the beat
Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling…
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it to the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
And pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown④
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all, it all
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it to the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat
泪流心底
我怒火中烧
熊熊烈焰带我走出黑暗
我终于将你看得一清二楚
去吧，背叛我吧，我会让你一无所有
看我将怎样离你而去，带走你的一切
不要低估我将来对你的报复
我怒火中烧
熊熊烈焰带我走出黑暗
你的爱留给我的伤痛让我想起了我们的曾经
它们总在提醒我，我们几乎拥有了一切
你的爱留给我的伤痛让我窒息
我不禁心生感触
我们本该拥有一切
而现在我泪流心底
你俘虏了我的真心
却百般玩弄它，伴着每一次心跳
宝贝我已无话可说
但有一事定会使你焦头烂额
当你陷入绝望深渊时就会想起我
就在那里安家吧，因为我的家园绝对没你的份
你的爱留给我的伤痛让我想起了我们的曾经
它们总在提醒我，我们几乎拥有了一切
你的爱留给我的伤痛让我窒息
我不禁心生感触
我们本该拥有一切
而现在我泪流心底
你俘虏了我的真心
却百般玩弄它，伴着每一次心跳
我们本该拥有一切
而现在我泪流心底
你俘虏了我的真心
却百般玩弄它，伴着每一次心跳
打开每扇心门逐出你的灵魂
细数你的祷告知晓你的找寻
把我的悲痛化作珍宝
我要让你付出同样的代价，你终将自食恶果
我们本该拥有一切
我们本该拥有一切
一切，一切，一切
我们本该拥有一切
而现在我泪流心底
你俘虏了我的真心
却百般玩弄它，伴着每一次心跳
我们本该拥有一切
而现在我泪流心底
你俘虏了我的真心
却百般玩弄它
百般玩弄它
百般玩弄它
百般玩弄它，伴着每一次心跳

1. 歌词品鉴
Someone Like You
I heard that you're settled down①
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lie
I hate to turn up out of the blue②, uninvited
But I could't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:
“Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead”
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
You know, how the time flies③
Only yesterday was the time of our lives③
We were born and raised in a summer haze③
Bound by the surprise of our glory days③
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:
“Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead”
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes，they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet④ this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:
“Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead”
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:
“Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead”
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
爱人如你
听说你已心有所属
找到了真命天女并步入婚姻殿堂
听说你美梦成真
我猜她能带给你我所不能给的
老朋友，为何如此害羞？
不透真情，掩饰谎言，这不像你啊
我不想出其不意不请自来
但我无法逃避，无法抗拒
我希望你能看到我的脸，然后想起我
对我来说，一切都还没结束
没关系，我会找到一位如你般的爱人
送给你我最诚挚的祝福
不要忘记我，我恳求你，记得你曾说过：
“有时候爱情能成为永恒，但有时爱又如此伤人”
有时候爱情能成为永恒，但有时爱又如此伤人，确实如此
你知道，时光飞逝
昨天，我们还在一起
我们的爱在夏日的薄雾中萌芽成长
明媚岁月满载的惊喜使我们的关系更加紧密
我不想出其不意不请自来
但我无法逃避，无法抗拒
我希望你能看到我的脸，然后想起我
对我来说，一切都还没结束
没关系，我会找到一位如你般的爱人
送给你我最诚挚的祝福
不要忘记我，我恳求你，我记得你曾说过：
“有时候爱情能成为永恒，但有时爱又如此伤人”
没什么能与这感觉相比，不必担心，不必牵挂记忆里满是遗憾与误解
有谁能知晓这其中的酸甜苦楚？
没关系，我会找到一位如你般的爱人
送给你我最诚挚的祝福
不要忘记我，我恳求你，我记得你曾说过：

blue一词在西方文化中有着较多的象征意义。首先，由于蓝色服饰常见于西方皇室，blue有“高贵、显赫、一流”的含义；美国颁发的冠军奖牌也常使用蓝色绶带，意为“一流的、最佳的”。第二，在早期的美国，黑奴中流行一种名为Blues的音乐，曲调低沉而缓慢，充满忧伤，于是blue一词便逐渐演变出“忧郁、沮丧、闷闷不乐”的意思。第三，blue还有“不道德、下流”的意思，blue movie便是指“黄色电影”。
