好的~在掙(耍)扎(廢)了好幾天之後,我決定這星期要來翻譯我近期一直重複撥放的一首歌
也就是毛多多(咦?!)先生的Galway Girl
(為什麼叫毛多多先生?請去上一首Ed Sheeran的Shape Of You的翻譯文章裡找答案吧)
至於為什麼會掙扎呢?本來是蠻認真想持續Follow西洋流行新歌的
但是最近一兩個星期出來的單曲...真心沒有我喜歡的歌...
少數幾首好聽的歌翻譯完之後,我就開始新歌空窗期了= =
(欸這首歌也是新歌好嗎!!)
這首Galway Girl是我這一兩個月一直在手機MP3裡面重複撥放的歌
除了旋律很輕快好聽之外,還加入了蘇格蘭笛伴奏,歌詞也很有味道
歌詞內容是在敘述一個在酒吧認識的愛爾蘭女生的故事
Galway高威是愛爾蘭一個城市的名稱,Google了一下,是當地第四大的城市
歌詞裡面有許多內容也不斷提到愛爾蘭的事物
是一首很好聽也很耐聽的歌,和大家分享
