Ed Sheeran 釋出全新第三張專輯《÷》兩支單曲「Shape of You」和「Castle on the Hill」


英國創作男歌手 Ed Sheeran 將於今年推出全新第三張專輯《÷》,專輯發行日期未定,在 1/6 提前釋出兩支單曲「Shape of You」和「Castle on the Hill」給廣大歌迷一個新年驚喜。與 Johnny McDaid 和 Steve Mac 共同譜寫製作的「Shape of You」,牙買加流行音樂加上 R&B 的熱帶活潑曲風,以馬林巴打擊樂器旋律貫穿,原本是想寫給 Rihanna 演唱,但覺得部分歌詞不適合所以後來自己拿來唱。



與 Benjamin Levin 一起創作、Benny Blanco 共同監製的「Castle on the Hill」,是 Sheeran 特別獻給他長大的英國小鎮 Framlingham 的民謠搖滾作品,歌詞回首過去的單純美好與年少輕狂時光,充滿對家鄉的想念,I can't wait to go home,輕快流行的旋律令人播不及待想立刻飛奔回家。

Lyrics & Translation 歌詞:(by 好青年 中譯)

Written by Ed Sheeran and Benjamin Levin

[Verse 1: ]
When I was 6 years old, I broke my leg
六歲的時候,我弄傷了腿
I was running from my brother and his friends
正和我哥和他朋友們追逐嬉戲
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down
滾下山坡品聞綠草的甜蜜芬芳
I was younger then, take me back to when
那時的我還年輕,好想回到那時候

[Pre-Chorus 1: ]
I found my heart and broke it here
曾在這裡心動卻也心碎過
Made friends and lost them through the years
結交朋友卻因時光而失去
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
好久沒有見到令人激動的田野風光,我知道我已經長大
But I can't wait to go home
但我仍迫不及待想要回家

[Chorus: ]
I'm on my way
我在路上
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
時速 90 沿著鄉間小路開去
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
唱著艾爾頓強的「小小舞者」
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
懷念你給我的感覺,如此真實
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
一起看夕陽灑落在山上的城堡

[Verse 2: ]
15 years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
15 歲時抽著手捲菸
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
闖蕩法律邊緣和朋友一同喝醉
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
初吻發生在週五夜晚,我不認為我做得很好
But I was younger then, take me back to when
那時的我還年輕,好想回到那時候

[Pre-Chorus 2: ]
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
我們找到週末的兼職工作,每當領到薪水
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
便拿去買便宜烈酒,然後一飲而盡
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
我和朋友們不知道多久沒有喝到吐,噢,我們是怎樣長大的阿!
But I can't wait to go home
但我仍迫不及待想要回家

[Chorus: ]
I'm on my way
我在路上
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
時速 90 英里沿著鄉間小路開去
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
唱著艾爾頓強的「小小舞者」
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
懷念你給我的感覺,如此真實
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
一起看夕陽灑落在山上的城堡
Over the castle on the hill
灑落在山上的城堡
Over the castle on the hill
灑落在山上的城堡

[Bridge: ]
One friend left to sell clothes
一個朋友離開家鄉去賣衣服
One works down by the coast
一個在沿海岸邊工作
One had two kids but lives alone
一個有兩個小孩卻獨自生活
One's brother overdosed
一個的哥哥嗑藥過量
One's already on his second wife
一個已經再娶第二任老婆
One's just barely getting by
一個生活還勉強過得去
But these people raised me
但這些人促成成就了我
And I can't wait to go home
而我迫不及待地想要回家

[Chorus: ]
And I'm on my way, I still remember these old country lanes
我已經在回家路上,我仍記得這些往日的鄉間小路
When we did not know the answers
對未來人生還一知半解的我們
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
懷念你給我的感覺,如此真實
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
一起看夕陽灑落在山上的城堡
Over the castle on the hill
灑落在山上的城堡
Over the castle on the hill
灑落在山上的城堡
