听歌学英语:Casablanca 卡萨布兰卡

鸡蛋撞地球

Bertie Higgins于1944年12月8日出生于佛罗里达州，Bertie身为职业音乐家，坚实的音乐基础使他在60年代早期的单独演唱能够脱颖而出，一鸣惊人。经过七十年代的酝酿，1982年他的首次演唱《天堂里的另一天》实际上使他东山再起，因为这是他自1968年落漠以来在音乐上的又一次冒险。1982年他的《主要乐章》榜居第十，也是他唯一的成功之作;这首歌曲由Bertie Higgins在 1986年录唱，1994年的唱片《Then end now》引起了人们些许注意。

Casablanca

I fell in love with you watching Casablanca,
Back row at the driving show in the flickering light.
Popcorn and cokes beneath the stars
Became champagne and caviar
Making love on the long hot summer’s night.

I thought you fell in love with me watching Casablanca
Holding hands beneath the paddle fans in Rick’s candle-lit cafe
Hiding in the shadows from the spots
A rocky moonlight in your arms
Making magic in the movie in my old Chevrolet

Oh， a kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
A kiss is not a kiss without your sign
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by

I guess there are many broken hearts in Casablanca
You know I’ve never really been there
So I don’t know
I guess our love story will never be seen
On the big wide silver screen
when I had to watch you go

歌词大意:

我爱上你时是看《卡萨布兰卡》。
在闪烁的灯光下，我们坐在露天影院在后排
在星光下，爆米花和可口可乐
可以和香槟和鱼子酱媲美
我们相爱在漫长、炎热的夏日夜晚里

我想你爱上我时是在看《卡萨布兰卡》，
恍惚身临其境牵着手，如在吕克饭店
我们避开光线
晃动的月光仍然照在你手臂上
电影魔力发生在我那辆老式雪佛莱车里

在《卡萨布兰卡》里一次次的热烈地亲吻
但是没有你的亲吻就不是真正的亲吻
快回我身边，进入《卡萨布兰卡》
我爱你，随着时间流逝与日骤增

我猜想在《卡萨布兰卡》中有很多破碎的心
你知道我永远也不可能置身其中
所以我不知道有多少伤心者。
我想我们的爱情故事
永远上不了巨大宽银幕
因此我只能看着你离去
