《Love Story》—— 过去时态·叙事写作
歌词原文
Sung by Taylor Swift
We were both young when I first saw you
第一次见到你 我们俩都还年轻
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
我闭上眼睛 回忆那段往事
I'm standing there
夏天的空气里
On a balcony in summer air
我站在阳台上
See the lights
看着那灯光
See the party
观望着舞会
The ball gowns
人们穿着舞裙
See you make your way through the crowd
看到你在人群中挤来挤去
And say hello
对我说 你好
Little did I know
我几乎不知道
That you were Romeo
你就是罗密欧
You were throwing pebbles
你朝着门窗丢石子
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
我爸爸说 离我家朱丽叶远些
And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you please don't go

And I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
