賴世雄精講英文歌曲(7): 我參加你的婚禮
歌者藉歌詞敘述某男子去參加好友的婚禮。看到自己心愛的人結(jié)婚，意味著自己夢想破碎了，于是也和女方家長一同哭泣。不過卻是一種眼淚兩樣心情。
英文歌詞
I went to your wedding although I was dreading the thought of losing you. The organ was playing; my poor heart kept saying, "My dreams, my dreams are through."
You came down the aisle, wearing a smile, a vision of loveliness. I uttered a sigh, and then whispered goodbye, goodbye to my happiness.
Your mother was crying, your father was crying, and I was crying, too. The teardrops were falling because we were losing you.
歌詞翻譯
雖然我害怕想到自己即將失去妳，我卻仍參加了妳的婚禮。管風(fēng)琴正演奏著，我可憐的心一直說：『我的夢想，我的夢想破滅了?！?/p>
妳帶著微笑步下走道，看起來是那么美。我發(fā)出一聲嘆息，低聲說再見，對我的幸福道再見。
妳的母親在哭泣，妳的父親在哭泣，而我也在哭泣。我們的淚珠落下，因為我們失去了妳。
