我們愛唱的英文歌曲

1.  EL CONDOR PASA 老鷹之歌

I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail.

Yes, I would. If I could, I surely would. 

I’d rather be a hammer than a nail. 

Yes, I would. If I only could, I surely would. 

Away, I'd rather sail away

like a swan that’s here and gone. 

A man gets tied up to the ground.

He gives the world its saddest sound,

its saddest sound.

I’d rather be a forest than a street. 

Yes I would.  If I could, I surely would.

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet.

Yes, I would.  If I only could, I surely would

2.  Tennessee Waltz    田納西華爾滋

I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling
The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee Walt

我和愛人共舞著一曲田納西華爾滋
當我看見了一位老朋友
我將她介紹給我的愛人
當他們倆共舞時
我的朋友從我身邊偷走了我的甜心

我還記得那一夜和田納西華爾滋
如今我才明白我失去了多少
是的，我失去了我的小愛人
在樂隊演奏著美麗的田納西華爾滋的那一夜

3.  The End of the World    世界末日　 Skeeter Davis 史琪特戴維絲

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
'Cause you don't love me anymore

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning
And I wonder why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye

太陽為何依然照耀
海浪為何拍打著岩岸
難道它們不知道這是世界末日
因為你不再愛我了

鳥兒為何依然歌唱
星星為何在天上閃耀
難道它們不知道這是世界末日
當我失去了你的愛

當我清晨醒來
納悶著為何一切如常
我無法了解，我真的無法了解
生命怎會像往常一樣運行

我的心為何仍在跳動
我的雙眼為何在流淚
難道它們不知道這是世界末日
當你說再見的時候

4. YESTERDAY ONCE MORE

When I was young, I'd listen to the radio, waiting for my favorite songs.

When they played I'd sing along.  It made me smile. 

Those were such happy times, and not so long ago.

How I wondered where they'd gone. 

But they're back again, just like a long-lost friend.  

All the songs I loved so well.  

Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-wo still shines.       

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling， that they're starting to sing, so fine.  

When they get to the part where he's breaking her heart, it can really make me cry.  

Just like before, it's yesterday once more.

(Shoo-bee-do-l.a., shoo-bee-do-l.a.)

Looking back on how it was in years gone by, and the good time that I had, makes today seem rather sad; so much has changed.  

It was songs of love that would sing to them, and I'd memorize each word.  Those old melodies still sound so good to me, as they melt the years away.

Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-wo still shines.       

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling， that they're starting to sing, so fine 

All my vest memories come back clearly to me; some can even make me cry. Just like before, it's yesterday once more.

Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-wo still shines.       

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling， that they're starting to sing, so fine

Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-wo still shines.       

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling， that they're starting to sing, so fine 

5.  QUE SERA SERA

When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother,” What will I be?

Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?’ Here’s what she said to me:

Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be; the future’s not ours to see.

Que sera,sera.What will be,will be.

When I grew up and fell in love, I asked my sweetheart,” What lies ahead?

Will we have rainbows day after day?” Here’s what my sweetheart said:

Que sera,sera. Whatever will be, will be; the future’s not ours to see. Que sera,sera.What will be; will be.

Now I have children of my own, they ask their mother “What will I be?

Will I be handsome? Will I be rich?” I tell them tenderly:

Que sera,sera. Whatever will be, will be; the future’s not ours to see.

Que sera,sera. What will be, will be./

Que sera,sera
