赖世雄教你学唱歌: Unit 35 Say You Say Me

（单词翻译）

Say You Say Me -lionel richie


Say you, say me. Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me. Say it together, naturally

I had a dream, I had an awesome¹ dream
People in the park, playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
But from behind the walls of doubt
A voice was crying out

As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do
Is to find a friend or two
That helping² hand, someone who understands
When you feel you've lost your way
You've got someone there to say
So you think you know the answers
Oh no. Well, the whole worlds got ya dancin'
That's right I'm telling you
It's time to start believin'
Oh yes. Believe in who you are
You are a shining star...oh

Say you, say me. Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me. Say it together, naturally
Say it together, naturally

1、
After leaving the Commodores, Lionel Richie became one of the most successful male solo artists of the '80s, arguably eclipsed during his 1981-1987 heyday³ only by Michael Jackson and Prince. Richie dominated the pop charts during that period with an incredible run of 13 consecutive⁴ Top Ten hits, five of them number ones. As his popularity skyrocketed, Richie moved farther away from his R&B origins and concentrated more on adult contemporary balladry, which had been one of his strengths even as part of the Commodores. After 1987, Richie fell silent, taking an extended break from recording⁵ and touring before beginning a comeback toward the tail end of the '90s.
LIONEL RICHIE是我很喜欢的一位音乐人，象他的《四海一家（WE ARE THE WORLD）》早就为人熟悉，他的歌曲对情感的表达与众不同，反正是总能让我感动，下面再推荐一首《HELLO》给大家欣赏：
Hello - Lionel Richie

i've been alone with you inside my mind
and in my dreams i've kissed your lips a thousand times
i sometimes see you pass outside my door
hello, is it me you're looking for?
i can see it in your eyes
i can see it in your smile
you're all i've ever wanted,(and) my arms are open wide
'cause you know just what to say
and you know just what to do
and i want to tell you so much, i love you ...
i long to see the sunlight in your hair
and tell you time and time again how much i care
sometimes i feel my heart will overflow⁶
hello, i've just got to let you know
'cause i wonder where you are
and i wonder what you do
are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
tell me how to win your heart
for i haven't got a clue
but let me start by saying, i love you ...
hello, is it me you're looking for?
'cause i wonder where you are
and i wonder what you do
are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
tell me how to win your heart
for i haven't got a clue
but let me start by saying ... i love you


2、MASQUERADE （a。）令人敬畏的
3、But from behind the walls of doubt A voice was crying out
WALLS OF DOUBT（疑惑之墙）乃是暗指世人总以虚假的面貌彼此相待，但心中不免有疑惑：这难道是我们的处世之道吗？于是心中产生了呐喊，而这个呐喊就在接下来的第三段中表现出来了。
