听歌学英语:冬日的小温暖和小伤感 Long Lost Penpal
时间：2018-11-29 作者：英语课 分类：听英文歌曲解析歌词
来自于Hello Saferide，瑞典的乐队组合。主创Annika Norlin在成为音乐人之前，还是著名的文艺女青年、影评人、音乐记者、电台节目主持人。如今巡演占用了Annika大部分的时间，但她依旧保持着在电台里的工作，主持一档并不那么商业的电台音乐节目，向听众介绍全世界最新的独立音乐。Annika从10岁开始写歌，写到2005年的时候已经有了好几百首，直到有一天她觉得好玩，就在朋友的卧室录了《高中跟踪狂》(Highschool Stalker)这首傻乎乎又有些歇斯底里的小情歌，并且放到了MySpace上。结果几个星期以后，一纸唱片约就飞到了她的桌上，从此由幕后走向台前。
Hello
Do you remember me
I am your long lost pen pal 1
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
I don’t really know what happened
I guess life came in the way
Let me know if you’re still alive
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not
Hello
Yes I remember you
I’ve got a husband and two children now
I work as an accountant 2 and make fairly 3 good money
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
when my tears would stain 4 the ink
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush 5 on
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend
There was this letter
I never told you this back then
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
I sat in the window
The only one left out from a party again
Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend
Then I checked the mailbox
Dear long lost penpal
I was lying the whole time
I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke
I have three children
and a wife, she doesn’t care
And I hope you don’t resent 6 me
And I hope you do not hate me
For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend
你还记得我么?
我是你多年没有联系的笔友.
我们大概有十年多没联系了.
我不知道(这十年)发生什么了,(你怎么样了?)
我想生活总回发生些变化吧
你还活着啊?
请让我知道,有没有被伤害
你好
是的我想你了
我现在已经有丈夫和两个孩子了
我现在是个会计,挣相当可观的工资
我现在仍然留着你的信,你用粉红色钢笔写的
你能够安慰我
当我的泪点湿了信纸
我将会寄给你Kate Bush的磁带
我不得不承认我在那些信中说了谎
尝试着使生活更加美好吧
直到16岁,我还没有初吻
我仍然需要一个朋友.
这是这封信
我再没有在这封信后接到你的信
但我要真诚的说,这封信救了我的命
我正坐在窗旁
最后一个离开宴会的人又来了
我仍然没有一个单身的朋友
然后我查看了一下邮箱
亲爱的,好久没有联系的笔友
我躺着消耗了我的所有时间
我确实是一个叫做路可的46岁的男人
我有三个孩子
和一个妻子,她不是很关心我
我希望你不要怨恨我
我也希望你不要恨我
去寻找回我的青春
我不得不承认我在那些信中说了谎
让生活变得更加美好吧
我16岁仍然没有失去初吻
我还是需要一个朋友
