Niall Horan – This Town

Waking up to kiss you and nobody’s there

一早起身想吻你 卻發現枕邊空無一人

The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air

空氣中還瀰漫著妳的香水味

It’s hard

這日子多難熬

Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running round

昨天我還以為我看見你的身影

It’s funny how things never change in this old town

有趣的是 在這座古老小鎮裡 好多事情永遠不曾改變

So far from the stars

就如那遙遠的星星一般

[Pre-Chorus]

And I want to tell you everything

我有很多話想對你說

The words I never got to say the first time around

註1. (the first time [= the first time around]是指「在第一次的時候」)

(For the first time [= It was the first time]

是指「以往從未發生過，這是第一次發生」

    進一步強調「望穿秋水」在first之前加上very：the very first time)

在第一次見面時 我沒有說出口的話

And I remember everything

我記得你我之間的一切

From when we were the children playing in this fairground

(n. 遊樂園、露天市場、展銷會場)

例如當時還天真地我們，在遊樂場玩耍歡笑

Wish I was there with you now

真希望此刻我能和你在一起

[Chorus]

If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you

即使全世界的人都在看著我，我仍會與你共舞

Drive highways and byways (大街小巷) to be there with you

(n.旁道、間道、偏僻小路；研究、學問等的次要或冷僻的領域)

無論是上山下海，只要能和你在一起

Over and over the only truth

(adv.反復、再三、仍、顛來倒去)

在這世界上唯一不變的是

Everything comes back to you

我的一切從來都只與你有關

[Verse 2]

I saw that you moved on with someone new

(繼續前進、出發；對…採取行動；離開)

我看見你遇到了新的戀人

In the pub that we met he’s got his arms around you

在我們相遇的酒吧裡，他搭著你的肩

It’s so hard

事實如此絕望

So hard

如此煎熬

[Pre-Chorus]

And I want to tell you everything

我有千言萬語想對你說

The words I never got to say the first time around

那些以前來不及說的事

And I remember everything

我記得你我之間的一切

From when we were the children playing in this fairground

從小時候在遊樂場玩耍開始

Wish I was there with you now

多希望 我身邊是你

[Chorus]

If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you

即使全世界的人都在看著我，我仍會與你共舞

Drive highways and byways to be there with you

我願意千里奔波只為見到你

Over and over the only truth

向你一遍遍訴說我的真心

Everything comes back to you

任何事情都圍繞著你打轉

You still make me nervous when you walk in the room

每當你出現時，仍會令我感到緊張

Them butterflies they come alive when I’m next to you

(butterflies in someone's stomach: 緊張不安、內心七上八下、小鹿亂撞)

在你身旁時，我仍會感到小鹿亂撞

Over and over the only truth

在這世界上唯一不變的是

Everything comes back to you

我的一切從來都只與你有關

[Bridge]

And I know that it’s wrong

我知道不該如此

That I can’t move on

我不該停留在此

But there’s something about you

但我心中滿滿是你

[Chorus]

If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you

即使全世界的人都在看著我，我仍會與你共舞

Drive highways and byways to be there with you

我願意千里奔波只為見到你

Over and over the only truth

向你一遍遍訴說我的真心

Everything comes back to you

任何事情都圍繞著你打轉

You still make me nervous when you walk in the room

每當你出現時，仍會令我感到緊張

Them butterflies they come alive when I’m next to you

在你身旁時，我仍會感到小鹿亂撞

Over and over the only truth

在這世界上唯一不變的是

Everything comes back to you

我的一切從來都只與你有關
