Twenty-Two Hits Of Carpenters

Carpenters( 木匠兄妹 ) Twenty-Two Hits Of Carpenters歌詞
1.I Need To Be In Love

Written:R.Carpenter/John Bettis/Albert Hammond

The hardest thing I've ever done
Is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world
For me
The way that people come and go
Through temporary lives
My chance could come and
I might never know

I used to say 'No promises
Let's keep it simple'
But freedom only helps you say
Goodbye

It took a while for me to learn
That nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me

*I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of
A quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

So here I am with pockets full
Of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me
Tonight
I'm wide awake at four a.m
Without a friend in sight
Hanging on a hope but I'm all right

* Repeat


我需要戀愛

我所作過最艱難的事,就是一直相信這個瘋狂的世上有個我的他。
人們在短暫的生命裡來去匆匆,
我等侍的機會可能到來而我卻未察覺。

我曾說過:「別對我承諾,我要一份簡單的愛情!」
然而給你自由,卻讓你輕易道別離。

我花了好久的時間才學會,天下沒有不費功夫的好事。
而我所付出的伐價卻已太高。

*我知道我需要戀愛,我知道我浪費了太多的時間。
我知道我對這不完美的世界要求無瑕的愛情,傻得以為自己可以找到。

現在的我滿懷著美好的想法,但是今夜我無法從中尋得一絲安慰。
清晨四點醒來的我,沒有朋友在身旁,只有秉持著一個希望。
我還是撐得過來。
*重複兩遍


2.We've Only Just Begun

Written:Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

We've only just begun
To live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
We've only begun

Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talking it over just the two of us
Working together day to day
Together.

And when the evening comes
We smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes! We've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talking it over just the two of us
Working together day to day
Together.
Together.

And when the evening comes
We smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes! We've just begun.


我們正要開始

我們正要開始新的生活。帶著白色的蕾絲,你我的承諾及祝福的吻,
我們上了路。我們正要開始。

我們迎向旭日飛舞,面對著條條道路,我們先步行然後再奔跑。
是的!我們正要開始。

共享新的歷程,留意沿途的標示;兩人之間談不完的話,
日復一日一起努力去打拼。

當夜幕低垂,我們相視微笑,多麼精彩的一天,我們會找到一個地方,
那裡有足空間,讓彼此成長,是的!我們正要開始。

共享新的歷程,留意沿途的標示;兩人之間談不完的話,
日復一日一起努力去打拼。

當夜幕低垂,我們相視微笑,生命的旅程還很長,我們會找到一個地方,
那裡有足空間,讓彼此成長,是的!我們正要開始。


3.Superstar

Written:Leon Russell/Bonnie Bramlett

Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
but you're not really here
It's just the radio
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you, I really do

Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again.
What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby baby baby baby oh baby I love you I really do

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby baby baby baby oh baby I love you I really do


超級巨星

好久以前在遙遠的地方,我在第二場表演之前愛上你。
你的吉他聽起來甜蜜又清晰,但這只是收音機而非真正的你。
難道你不記得告訴我說愛我嗎?寶貝?你說你會再回到這裡來的,寶貝。
寶貝、寶貝、寶貝、寶貝,噢!寶貝,我愛你,我真的愛你。

孤寂是件悲傷的事,我迫不及待與你相逢。你說過要再來,
再回到我的身邊,彈你那悲傷的吉他。難道你不記得告訴我說你愛我嗎?寶貝。
你說你會再回到這裡來的,寶貝、寶貝、寶貝、寶貝,噢!寶貝,
我愛你,我真的愛你。

難道你不記得告訴我說你愛我嗎?寶貝。
你說你會再回到這裡來的,寶貝、寶貝、寶貝、寶貝,噢!寶貝,
我愛你,我真的愛你。


4.Rainy Days And Mondays

Written:Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hanging around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothing is really wrong
Feeling like I don't belong
Walking around some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you

Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.


下雨天和星期一

我自言自語,感到年輕不再。有時候真想放棄,什麼事都不對勁。
閒呆的我除了皺眉沒事做。下雨天和星期一總是讓我沮喪。
我目前的所有只會喚來憂鬱。不是哪裡出了問題,我只是缺乏歸屬感,
宛如孤單的小丑晃來又晃去。

下雨天和星期一總是讓我沮喪。好笑的是我總是在此遇到你。

知道有人愛我是件好事。好笑的是我唯一能做的,就是跑去尋找愛我的人。
這種感覺以前經歷過,毋需再提起,我們都知道這麼一回事。
閒呆的我除了皺眉沒事做。下雨天和星期一總是讓我沮喪。

好笑的是我唯一能做的,就是跑去尋找愛我的人。這種感覺以前經歷過,
毋需再提起,我們都知道這麼一回事。
閒呆的我除了皺眉沒事做。
下雨天和星期一總是讓我沮喪。
閒呆的我除了皺眉沒事做。
下雨天和星期一總是讓我沮喪。


5.Top Of The World

Written:Richard Carpenter/John Bettis
Arranger:Richard Carpenter

Such a feeling's coming over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

(*)I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

Repeat(*)twice


6.Sing

Lyrics:Joe Raposo
Music:Joe Raposo

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

Lalalalala, lalalalalala, lalalalalalala
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me.
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
Just sing, sing a song.

Lalalalala, lalalalalala, lalalalalalala
(Repeat five times)


歡唱

唱吧!唱首歌,大聲地唱,盡情地唱,歌頌美好而非醜惡,
歌頌歡樂而非悲傷。唱吧!唱首歌,讓它簡單得足以持續一生,
不必擔心別人覺得不夠好,只要你唱下去,唱首歌吧。
啦啦啦啦啦,啦啦啦啦啦啦,啦啦啦啦啦啦啦。

唱吧!唱首歌,讓全世界跟著唱。

唱出世上所有的愛,為你為我而唱。唱吧!唱首歌,讓它簡單得足以持續一生,
不必擔心別人覺得不夠好,只要你唱下去,唱首歌吧。
啦啦啦啦啦,啦啦啦啦啦啦,啦啦啦啦啦啦啦。
