Niall Horan – This Town

[Verse 1]
Waking up to kiss you and nobody’s there
一早起身想吻你，却不见你身影
The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air
你的香水还飘在空气里
It’s hard
受不了
Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running round
昨晚我以为我看见你在身边
It’s funny how things never change in this old town
在这老镇能有什么新鲜事
So far from the stars
星光如此遥远

[Pre-Chorus]
And I want to tell you everything
我有千言万语想对你说
The words I never got to say the first time around
那些以前来不及说的事
And I remember everything
我记得你我之间的一切
From when we were the children playing in this fairground
从儿时在游乐场的打闹
Wish I was there with you now
真希望我们能回到过去
[Chorus]
If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you
即是大家注视著，我仍会与你共舞
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
我愿意千里奔波只为见到你
Over and over the only truth
说了一遍遍我的真心
Everything comes back to you
都围绕着你打转

[Verse 2]
I saw that you moved on with someone new
我看见你遇到了新的恋人
In the pub that we met he’s got his arms around you
在酒吧里他搭着你的肩
It’s so hard
受不了
So hard
受不了

[Pre-Chorus]
And I want to tell you everything
我有千言万语想对你说
The words I never got to say the first time around
那些以前来不及说的事
And I remember everything
我记得你我之间的一切
From when we were the children playing in this fairground
从儿时在游乐场的打闹
Wish I was there with you now
真希望我们能回到过去

[Chorus]
If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you
即是大家注视著，我仍会与你共舞
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
我愿意千里奔波只为见到你
Over and over the only truth
说了一遍遍我的真心
Everything comes back to you
都围绕着你打转

You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
此刻你的出现仍令我紧张
Them butterflies they come alive when I’m next to you
在你身旁我小鹿乱撞
Over and over the only truth
说了一遍遍我的真心
Everything comes back to you
一切都围绕着你打转

[Bridge]
And I know that it’s wrong
我知道不该如此
That I can’t move on
我不该停留在此
But there’s something about you
但我心中满满是你

[Chorus]
If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you
即是大家注视著，我仍会与你共舞
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
我愿意千里奔波只为见到你
Over and over the only truth
说了一遍遍我的真心
Everything comes back to you
都围绕着你打转
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
此刻你的出现仍令我紧张
Them butterflies they come alive when I’m next to you
在你身旁我小鹿乱撞
Over and over the only truth
说了一遍遍我的真心
Everything comes back to you
一切都围绕着你打转

Niall Horan

又一首动人心弦的情歌，由爱尔兰创作歌手 Niall Horan 演唱，诉说著与恋人分离后却迟迟走不出去、放不下对方的心情。听着听着，觉得这种心情有点像先前介绍过 Russian Red 的 Memory is Cruel，即使已经分别多时，却还是会在梦醒时分怀念过去温暖的怀抱，感伤自己不懂珍惜、没有把握身边对的人。似乎只有在离开后，才开始感受到对方的好。这么说或许过于老调，不过千千万万的爱情故事总是如此，自古以来一首首的情歌，同样诉说著错过对的人的感慨。

歌名 Old Town 别有用心，除了说这个老镇收藏着两人过去的回忆之外，也说明了自己会一直住在这老镇中，久久走不出旧时回忆，而他所深爱的女孩就像个抛下佬镇、抛下过去，一个人去新世界探险的勇士，抛下他、抛下两人的过去。
