Can someone help me about the English lyric？

Cassie, Gossil Girl is a lot like The OC (Orange County), in terms of story and characters. If you want an interesting show to watch, try Boston Legal or Gilmore Girls (although there are a million allusions to US Pop Culture in Gilmore Girls that not even Americans might get :P). But try them, they are pretty good shows. :)

Chillosk,

Thank you for you expression about this line. Yes, i did watched Gossip Girl Season 1绯闻少女 第一季. It is good and i like those actresses and actors's pronunciation, very wonderful. I am looking forward to the season2.

Cassie

And I didn't know you watched Gossip Girl! haha, interesting show.

你好Cassie! I love that song as well! ...take a fall, take a shot for you I think this means that he'll go to the extremes for the girl, and he describes how with the two examples - he'll even take a fall (umm, i guess in china, it's to lose face or admit to something you didn't do to protect someone you love) and take a shot, which in the popular lingo means to take a gunshot, just like how bodyguards throw themselves in the line of fire.

the legendry stardust cowboy song "paralysed" speaking for bugles, good old stardust bugles. One for Bazza to have a go at maybe?

In a Shanghai minute everything does change!

No feedback, ummm, may be i should try again, i think my translation was a little lame ！

Bazza,

Thank you! Yes, i agree with the singer that we should appreciate what we had yet.

John, I did try my best to translate this song, i am not sure if i did correct.

Here goes my translation.

怀抱着你给我的希望

让我感到双脚悬空

我听见你说的话，却无法做出回应

你告诉过我你有多么需要我，

可而后你却离我而去，让我伤心

但是当你对我说对不起的时候

没想到我会转身并说

现在道歉太迟了，太迟了

我说现在道歉一切都太迟了，太迟了

我曾试着再给我们一次机会，并再次爱上你

我需要你就像一颗心脏需要跳动那么强烈

可是一切还是原样，没有任何变化

我对你的爱曾经是如同火焰般炙热

可是现在却渐渐的冷却，你却说对不起

曾经我认为你是天堂里的天使

但是现在我却有所担心

现在道歉太迟了，太迟了

我说现在道歉太迟了，太迟了......

Cassie

Here are the lyrics:

Harry got up

Dressed all in black

Went down to the station

And he never came back

They found his clothing

Scattered somewhere down the track

And he won't be down on Wall Street

in the morning

He had a home

The love of a girl

But men get lost sometimes

As years unfold

One day he crossed some line

And he was too much in this world

But I guess it doesn't matter anymore

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

Things can get pretty strange

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

Lying here in the darkness

I hear the sirens wail

Somebody going to emergency

Somebody's going to jail

If you find somebody to love in this world

You better hand on tooth and nail

The wolf is always at the door

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

Things can get a little strange

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

And in these days

When darkness falls early

And people rush home

To the ones they love

You better take a fool's advice

And tak care of your own

One day they're here;

Next day they're gone

I pulled my coat around my shoulders

And took a walk down through the park

The leaves were falling around me

The groaning city in the gathering dark

On some solitary rock

A desperate lover left his mark,

Baby, I've changed. Please come back.

What the head makes cloudy

The heart makes very clear

The days were so much brighter

In the time when she was here

But I know there's somebody somewhere

Make these dark clouds disappear

Until that day, I have to believe

I believe, I believe

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

You can get out of the rain

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

Here is a good song.

oh, henning, if i am the FBI, i would have the resolution! LOL

john,

i am so glad to see your comments here. I did not think to translate the song into Chinese before, but with your encouragement, i will try to! I am not sure if i can do that right, but not hurt to give it a try. Thank you John, i am your fan on Chinesepod!^_^

Casie,

Are you going to try translating the song into Chinese? If you can do that, then you know you really understand it... We can give you feedback on your translation.

No, no, just somewhere in the crowd. Actually you probably would need a resolution beyond HDTV to actually make me out. Just like in real life :)

Henning,

I agree with Brent, i like the ending too! It is very wonderful ending! But i have not spot you yet! Where are you? Are you the drummer?LOL

RJBerki,

I think it is a good idea. ^_^ Going to the U.S.A. and hanging out with you guys and learning street talk ,American Slangs and experiencing the real American Culture! I can imagine, but i think it is too wonderful to be true! For the reality, i am still here in Fuzhou city, Fujian Province, China!!!!

Wei Xiao, I was thinking exactly Jimi Hendrix when Henning said, "grand old masters"! Made me feel old... Such is life.

Well, one of my first concerts was Jimi Hendrix. That's how far I go back!

Children will do that to you :) Maybe when your children are old enough, you can take them to a Miley Cyrus concert!

Which kind of reminds me of my very first concert in 1985 (yikes)....Madonna's "Like A Virgin" Tour, with my best friend and my mom! Good times good times.

calkins,

that one was in Düsseldorf. It was also broadcasted on TV (WDR 3), which explains the professional editing.

Haven't been to a concert for a long, long time...

Ah, Sonic Youth indeed! More proof that CPod is a wonderful place...where else can you get your fix of Mandarin and Sonic Youth?

Henning, where in Germany was this show? Great video by the way...the editing when the strobes were going off is really great.

the timbaland theme is very familiar somehow.

Cassie - you need to spend some time in the US so we can teach you all the street talk.

-RJ

Casie, you are absolutely right. Better listen to grand old masters. Here is a classic for perfect dreams (need to listen to the whole clip to really appreciate it): YouTube is unbelievable. I have been to exactly that very concert in 96. Maybe you can even spot me (I was in the first rows).

Oh, no!!!!!!!!!! The music is too noisy！

If i insomnia, that's your fault.

Here is the ulimate lyric challenge Cassie. ;)

TiaPan,

Thank you, i had checked those two songs! But they are too fast to catch the lyrics. Actually, i like those kind of slow and sad love songs.^_^

I know Timbaland is a very popular musician there, and he feat Justin Timberlake, One republic, Nelly Furtado, etc.

Cassie, you're more than welcome....and thank you (my face is "fire red" now)!

Casie,

If you like Timbaland, I highly recommend "promiscuous" and "give it to me". He did those with Nelly Furtado.

The lyrics are way more fun too!

obitoddokenobi,

I had got the Whole English lyric yet, but thank you all the same!

Brent,

Thank you so much for those detail expressions about the lyric, i understand it better now!

I was puzzled by "take a fall, take a shot for you" , but i get it now! So "a shot" can means "a try", I like the expression "I'll give it a shot ", that's pretty cool. I just knew "I'll give it a try " before! And i think "fire red" and "blue" are very vivid expression!!! I didn't notice that "blue" means "coldness" here before, thank you brent, you are really a nice person!

Cassie^_^

Cassie, I'll give it a shot! I think he's singing about his lover who broke his heart. I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you. He wants to give her another chance for them to be together...he's willing to fall for her again...give their love another shot (another try). And I need you like a heart needs a beat. Basically, he can't live without her. But it is nothing new I'm guessing he's saying she still doesn't love him. I loved you with a fire red His heart (love) was on fire for her. Now it is turning blue, you say... Her "coldness" and lack of love for him has made his fire heart (love) cold (blue). "Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you. I'm not sure about this line, but I'm guessing she just says "Sorry", like it's no big deal to her...and maybe he's realizing that she's not the person he thought she was (not the sweet angel sent from heaven). Hope this helps you understand a little better....if only I were able to give Cassie some help for once :)

eh eh eh

eh eh eh

I'm holdin on your rope

got me ten feet off the ground

I'm hearin what you say but

I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me

-then you go and cut me down

But wait

You tell me that you're sorry

Didn't think I'd turn around and say

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late

eh eh eh

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

eh eh eh

oh yeahhh, ooohh

eh eh eh

I'd take another chance, take a fall,

take a shot for you ooohhh

And I need you like a heart needs a beat

But that's nothing new yaaeeahh

I loved you with a fire red

[Apologize lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Now it's turning blue

And you say

Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you

But I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

eh eh eh

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

eh eh eh

eh eh eh

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

eh eh eh

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

eh eh eh ooohhh

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

eyyyeeeaaahhh

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

eyyyeeeaaahhh

I'm holdin on your rope

Got me ten feet ooofff the ground

I knew this song from this American soap. I was deeply moved when Rufus said " I can't help myself... I should never let you let me go!"
