凱莫的小天地

Taylor Swift前幾天發行了新專輯

整張專輯聽完馬上愛上的就是這首”Betty”

因為真的很喜歡Taylor唱這種鄉村曲風的歌

從這首的開頭的口琴和吉他聲就覺得這首會很讚

整首歌編曲簡單卻細膩而有層次

能讓人一聽再聽而不厭煩

和”Exile”算是整張專輯裡我覺得最驚豔的兩首歌。

而這首歌和”August”, ”Cardigan”的故事線有連續

在講述James, Betty和另一名女生的三角戀情

而這首Betty是在講James要和Betty道歉的故事

以及Betty和James之間戀情破碎的原因

聽起來青春洋溢而感人。

而有些人說James是女生，這首是同性之間的戀情

因為Inez(Betty中的一名角色)和James剛好是知名演員Ryan Reynolds的兩名女兒的名字

但Taylor也沒有做出聲明，所以也只能看我們自己怎麼想了!

<歌詞翻譯>

[Verse 1]
Betty, I won't make assumptions

Betty，我不會對你
About why you switched your homeroom, but

換教室的原因擅加臆測，但是
I think it's 'cause of me

我想大概是因為我吧
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard

Betty，有次當我溜著滑板
When I passed your house

經過你家的時候
It's like I couldn't breathe

我感覺我似乎要窒息了

[Pre-Chorus]
You heard the rumors from Inez

你從Inez那邊聽來了些傳聞
You can't believe a word she says

即使在大多數時候你不能相信她所說的
Most times, but this time it was true

但這次她說的卻是對的
The worst thing that I ever did

我一生中做過最糟糕的事情
Was what I did to you
就是我對你做的那件事

[Chorus]
But if I just showed up at your party

但如果我突然現身在你的派對
Would you have me? Would you want me?

你會想擁有我嗎?你會渴望著我嗎?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself

你會叫我趕快去死一死
Or lead me to the garden?

或是帶我到花園裡呢?
In the garden, would you trust me

在花園裡，你會相信我嗎?
If I told you it was just a summer thing?

如果我說我與她之間只不過是夏季的短暫戀情而已
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything

我只有十七歲，對一切懵懂無知
But I know I miss you

但我知道我想念你

[Verse 2]
Betty, I know where it all went wrong

Betty，我知道我們的愛情何時變了調
Your favorite song was playing

那時正放著你最愛的那首歌
From the far side of the gym

從體育館的遠側傳來
I was nowhere to be found

我當時不見了蹤影
I hate the crowds, you know that

但你明明知道我很討厭人群的
Plus, I saw you dance with him
而且我還看到你和他一起跳舞

[Pre-Chorus]
You heard the rumors from Inez

你從Inez那聽來了些傳聞
You can't believe a word she says

即使在大多數時候你不能相信她所說的
Most times, but this time it was true

但這次她說的卻是對的
The worst thing that I ever did

我這輩子做過最糟糕的事情
Was what I did to you
就是我對你做的那件事

[Chorus]
But if I just showed up at your party

但如果我突然現身在你的派對
Would you have me? Would you want me?

你會想擁有我嗎?你會渴望著我嗎?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself

你會叫我趕快去死一死
Or lead me to the garden?

或是帶我到花園裡呢?
In the garden, would you trust me

在花園裡，你會相信我嗎?
If I told you it was just a summer thing?

如果我說我與她之間只不過是夏季的短暫戀情而已
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything

我只有十七歲，對一切懵懂無知
But I know I miss you

但我只知道我想念你

[Bridge]
I was walking home on broken cobblestones

我當時正走在回家的破碎鵝卵石路上
Just thinking of you when she pulled up like

當她突然停下車時我正想著你的事情
A figment of my worst intentions

但我最糟的幻想卻發生了
She said "James, get in, let's drive"
她說「James，上車，我們去兜風」

Those days turned into nights

那些日子變成了我
Slept next to her, but

與她同枕而眠的日子
I dreamt of you all summer long

但我整個夏天只對你魂牽夢縈

[Verse 3]
Betty, I'm here on your doorstep

Betty，我現在正在你的家門口
And I planned it out for weeks now

過去幾個星期我一直暗自計畫要向你賠罪
But it's finally sinkin' in

但這感覺終於在現在讓我按耐不住了
Betty, right now is the last time

Betty，現在已經是最後一次了
I can dream about what happens when

我腦中仍能想像會發生什麼事情
You see my face again

當你再次見到我的時候

[Pre-Chorus]
The only thing I wanna do

我現在唯一想做的
Is make it up to you

就是要對你彌補一切
So I showed up at your party

所以我才在你的派對現身
Yeah, I showed up at your party

是的，我參加了你的派對

[Chorus]
Yeah, I showed up at your party

是的，我參加了你的派對
Will you have me? Will you love me?

你會想擁有我嗎?你會愛著我嗎?
Will you kiss me on the porch

你會在門廊親吻我
In front of all your stupid friends?

當著你所有傻朋友的面嗎?
If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?

如果你親了我，這會像我一直夢想的一樣嗎?
Will it patch your broken wings?

會因此修補你破碎的雙翼嗎?
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything

我只是個懵懂無知的十七歲男孩
But I know I miss you

但我只知道我想念你

[Outro]
Standing in your cardigan

穿著你的開襟毛衣站在我面前
Kissin' in my car again

再次在我的車裡親吻我
Stopped at a streetlight

停駐在一盞街燈下
You know I miss you

你知道我很想你
