赖世雄精讲英文歌曲(17): 我只能梦想

本曲大意
这首歌主要描述某男孩很迷恋某女孩，可是男孩可能很含蓄，不敢向女孩表达情意，只好藉由作梦流露真情，好可怜哟！你若是这样的男孩，雄哥建议用石头敲脸，让脸皮厚一些，然后鼓起勇气向女孩当面表白，搞不好女孩会说这样的话：『讨厌！人家等了好久你才敢向我表白。罚你吻我一千遍！』

英文歌词

Dream, dream, dream, dream. Dream, dream, dream, dream. When I want you in my arms, when I want you and all your charms, whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream.
Dream, dream, dream. When I feel blue in the night, and I need you to hold me tight, whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream.
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine anytime, night or day. Only trouble is, gee 1 whiz, Im dreamin my life away.
I need you so that I could die. I love you so and that is why whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream. Dream, dream, dream, dream.

歌词翻译

梦啊……每当我想拥妳入怀，每当我想要动人的妳，我所能做的只是做梦啊。
每当夜里我感到忧伤，每当我需要妳紧紧拥抱着我时，每当我想要妳时，我所能做的只是做梦。
我能让妳完全属于我，不论白昼或夜晚，都能亲吻妳那醉人的双唇。唯一的困扰是，天啊，我的一生就在做白日梦中消逝。
我太需要妳了，若得不到妳的爱我将死去 。我太爱妳了，那也就是为何当我需要妳时，我只能在梦中寻妳。
