英文单曲：Jay-Z - Young Forever

[Mr. Hudson]

Let’s dance in style,

Let’s dance for a while,

Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst,

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever,

We don’t have the power but we never say never,

Sitting in a sandpit,

Life is a short trip,

The music’s for the sad man,

[chorus]

Forever young,

I wanna be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever and ever

Forever young I wanna be

Forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever, forever

[Jay-Z Ad Lib]

May the best of your todays, be the worst of your tomorrows, but we aint even thinking that far, you naw mean?

[Jay-Z]

So we live a life like a video

When the sun is always out and you never get old

and the champagne’s always cold

and the music is always good

and the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood 2

and they hop 1 their pretty ass 3 up on the hood of dat pretty ass car

without a wrinkle in today

cuz there is no tomorrow

just some picture perfect day

to last a whole lifetime

and it never ends

cos all we have to do is hit rewind

lyrics 4 courtesy of killerhiphop.com

so lets just stay in the moment, smoke some weed,

drink some wine,

reminisce talk some sh-t forever young is in your mind

leave a mark that can’t erase 5 neither space nor time

so when the director yells cut,

I’ll be fine,

I’m forever young…

[chorus]

[Jay-Z]

Fear not when, fear not why,

fear not much while were alive,

life is for living not living up tight,

see ya somewhere up in the sky,

fear not die, i’ll be alive for a million years, bye bye,

so not for legends, I’m forever young

my name shall survive

through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves,

over Pyrex pots, my name shall be passed down to generations while debating up in barber shops,

young slung 6, hung here,

shorty, the n-gga from here

with a little ambition just what we can become here,

lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.com

and as the father passed his story down to his sons ears,

younger kid, younger every year, yeah

so if you love me baby this is how you let me know.

don’t ever let me go, thats how you let me know, baby,

[chorus]

[Jay-Z]

Slamming Bentley doors,

hopping out of Porsche’s,

popping up on Forbes lists,

Gorgeous,

hold up,

n-ggas thought i lost it,

they be talking bullsh-t

i be talking more sh-t

they nauseous,

hold up,

I”ll be here forever

you know, i’m on my four sh-t,

and I ain’t wit foreclosure, I will never forfeit,

less than four bars,

Guru bring the chorus in,

did you get the picture yet,

I’m painting you a portrait of young…
