Nelly Furtado - I'm like a bird


英文歌词:


You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never ever fade 1
You're lovely but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare 2
Though my love is true
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
Baby all I need you to know is
It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
> (and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
Over...


1978年12月,Nelly Furtado出生在加拿大英属Columbia区。虽然是在加拿大长大,但Nelly Furtado的父母都是葡萄牙后裔。Nelly Furtado的父母都是普通的工人,而她自己甚至也当过八年的服务生。Nelly Furtado从小就非常喜欢音乐,爱听玛丽亚·凯丽(Mariah Carey)和TLC组合等主流R&B音乐。同时,Nelly还自学了吉他和夏威夷四弦琴。之后,Nelly又迷上了哥哥收藏的Radiohead,Oasis,Portishead,the Verve和U2等乐队的音乐。对不同音乐类型的喜好也为她日后个人音乐风格的多样化埋下了伏笔。


在中学毕业之后,Nelly Furtado来到了多伦多,白天在一家警报器公司工作,下班后的时间就到处去看音乐演出。Nelly Furtado还加入了当地一个hip-hop组合Nelstar,这给了她个人创作歌曲的机会。随后,Nelly开始在多伦多一个小俱乐部里演出,她的音乐才华也开始得到越来越多人的认可。一次,加拿大乐队The Philosopher 3 Kings的两位成员Brian West和Gerald Eaton在看到Nelly Furtado的表演之后立即被她所吸引,并主动提出要为Nelly制作小样。在The Philosopher Kings成员的协助之下,Nelly Furtado成功与Dreamworks签约并在2000年秋发行首张个人专辑《Whoa, Nelly!》。2001年初,为了宣传《Whoa, Nelly!》,Nelly在美国举行了一次巡演,得到评论界和歌迷的一致好评。专辑中的单曲《I'm Like a Bird》和《Turn Off the Light》一时间成为歌迷们谈论的焦点。Nelly Furtado获得2001年第44届格莱美奖的四项提名,最终凭借《I'm Like a Bird》获得当年的最佳流行女歌手奖。


      2003年9月,Nelly Furtado女儿Nevis诞生。11月,Nelly的第二张个人专辑《Folklore》正式发行。但《Folklore》是令人失望的一张专辑,发行后仅排在Billboard 200专辑榜的第38位,而且整张专辑中都没有一首像《I'm Like a Bird》一样的热门单曲。2006年6月,在两年半之后,Nelly Furtado带着她的第三张专辑《Loose》重返歌坛。《Loose》在发行首周的销量达到21万9千张,另Nelly轻松得到了她第一个Billboard 200专辑榜的冠军。Timbaland不仅一人几乎包揽了本张专辑的制作,而且他与Nelly合唱的单曲《Promiscuous》也成为各国排行榜中点播率很高的热门单曲,最终在《Loose》上榜的第二天在Billboard Hot 100单曲榜中夺冠。
