James Arthur - Say You Won't Let Go 歌詞和訳で覚える英語

f:id:yougaku-eigo:20170511175227p:plain

 

2017.5.20付けBillboard Hot100で第13位です。良い歌です....

The inspiration was to look at someone’s life and the path through it with a partner. Some of it is personal and some of it is inspired by people around me as well as imagining what life is like in other people’s relationships.

I love songwriting and it’s something I never stop thinking about and doing. There are influences in every part of my life and I loved writing songs and being given so much freedom to do so when I was writing for back Back From The Edge. We had about 60 songs and it was very difficult to get the track listing down to something sensible. I wanted a 30-track album.

[Verse 1]
I met you in the dark
You lit me up
You made me feel as though
I was enough
We danced the night away
We drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up

暗闇でキミと出会った
キミはボクを照らしてくれた
きみはボクがそのままで十分なんだと感じさせてくれた
ぼくたちはスグに踊りだし
ひどく酔っ払った
キミの髪をうしろに束ねて持ってあげたね
キミが吐いている時

  • lit - lightの過去形
  • throw up - 吐く

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest

それでキミは肩越しに笑って
For a minute, I was stone cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest

  • over your shoulder
  • stone
  • sober
  • stay over

[Chorus 1]
I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I knew I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

[Verse 2]
I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee
With a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now, oh
And you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everyday you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow

[Chorus 2]
I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

[Bridge]
I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me
When I needed you most

[Chorus 3]
I'm gonna love you till
My lungs give out
I promise till death we part
Like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you
Now everybody knows
That it's just you and me
Until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

[Outro]
Just say you won't let go
Oh, just say you won't let go

[Verse 1]
I met you in the dark
You lit me up
You made me feel as though

But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go

Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
