All You Had to Do Was Stay

All You Had to Do Was Stay

《All You Had to Do Was Stay》是由美國流行音樂女歌手泰勒·斯威夫特演唱的一首流行歌曲,收錄於她的第五張錄音室專輯《1989》,作為專輯的第五支宣傳單曲發佈於2014年10月27日。

創作背景


這首歌是泰勒寫給她的前男友哈里·斯泰爾斯的一首歌。在歌曲中,泰勒指出了無論她做什麼,她似乎都再也無法讓他留下了,這個特別的男人的猶豫不決把這場愛毀滅了。
泰勒曾在一個訪談中提到,這首歌的靈感是她的一個夢,在那個夢裡她的前男友出現在她家門前,踢著門,她打開了門並且準備好了重新投入這場感情中,但無論怎麼做都只能用很高的聲音說“Stay”這個詞,後來她就寫了這首歌,然而那個很高的“Stay”成為了這支單曲的靈魂。

歌曲歌詞


英文

People like you always want back
The love they gave away
People like me want to believe you
When you say you've changed
The more I think about it now
All You Had to Do Was Stay
All You Had to Do Was Stay
The less I know All I know is that you drove us
Off the road
-
Hey- all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand then
Why'd you have to go and lock me out
When I let you in
Hey- now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
-
Here you are now
Calling me up
But I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made
People like you always want back
The love they pushed aside
But people like me are gone forever
When you say goodbye
-
Hey- all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand then
Why'd you have to go and lock me out
When I let you in
Hey- now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
-
Let me remind you...
This was what you wanted
You ended it
You were all I wanted
But not like this...
-
Hey- all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand then
Why'd you have to go and lock me out
When I let you in
Hey- now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
Hey- all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand then
Why'd you have to go and lock me out
When I let you in
Hey- now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay

譯文

你這樣的人總是想挽回
過去丟棄的愛情
我這樣的人總是在你說你說你會改的時候
一而再三的相信你
想的越多
發覺我懂得越少
我只知道是你將我扔在馬路上
留下來吧
嘿,只要你留下來
將我捧在你的手心
然後,為什麼你在我對你打開心扉的時候
將我丟在門外,離開我
留下來吧,嘿,如今你說你想和好
但是如今一切都太遲了
曾經一切都那麼的簡單
只要你肯留下來
只要你不離開我
只需要你留下來
只要你還在身邊
只要你留下來
如今,和你電話的時候
我已經無話可說了
我已經將被你傷透的心拾了起來
你這樣的人總是想挽回
你曾推向深淵的愛情
我這樣的人在聽到你說再見之後
就永遠不見了
留下來吧,嘿,如今你說你想和好
將我捧在你的手心
然後,為什麼你在我對你打開心扉的時候,將我丟在門外,離開我
留下來吧,嘿,如今你說你想和好
但是如今一切都太遲了
曾經一切都那麼的簡單
只要你肯留下來
只要你不離開我
只需要你留下來
只要你還在身邊
只要你留下來
讓我提醒你
這就是你曾經想要的愛情
你親手毀了它
你曾是我的夢想
但是如今是過往的煙雲了
消散了,物是人非
噢,只要你肯留下來
嘿,只要你留下來
將我捧在你的手心
然後,為什麼你在我對你打開心扉的時候,將我丟在門外,離開我
留下來吧,嘿,如今你說你想和好
但是如今一切都太遲了
曾經一切都那麼的簡單
只要你肯留下來
嘿,只要你留下來
將我捧在你的手心
然後,為什麼你在我對你打開心扉的時候,將我丟在門外,離開我
留下來吧,嘿,如今你說你想和好
但是如今一切都太遲了
曾經一切都那麼的簡單
只要你肯留下來
只要你不離開我
只需要你留下來
只要你還在身邊
只要你留下來
中文可唱歌詞(歡迎網友修改)
像你的人 總想拾起
已逝去的愛情
像我的人 總願相信
你改過自新
我的心情越焦急
越難看清
只能察覺彼此的情
早已偏離
CHORUS:
嘿-我只求你能別走
再一次能手牽手
為何我敞開著心房
卻拒我一旁
嘿-你現在想要回首
但 這段情早已到頭
挽留也是能夠
只要你當時不走
只要你當時不走
只要你當時不走
只要你當時不走
你突然出現
電話那邊
我話語凍結在嘴間
我不停收拾你曾殘留下的
碎片
像你的人 總想拾起
曾撇開的愛情
像我的人 奔向天際
當你遠離
CHORUS
嘿-我只求你能別走
再一次能手牽手
但為何我敞開著心房
卻拒我一旁
嘿-你現在想要回首
但 這段情早已到頭
挽回也是能夠
只要你當時不走
只要你當時不走
只要你當時不走
只要你當時不走
讓我喚起
這是你要的情
你將它拋棄
你曾是我唯一
不是現在的你…
現在你…
現在你…
只要你可以不走
嘿-我只求你能別走
再一次能手牽手
但為何我敞開著心房
卻拒我一旁
嘿-你現在想要回首
但 這段情早已到頭
挽回也是能夠
只要你當時不走
嘿-我只求你能別走
再一次能手牽手
但為何我敞開著心房
卻拒我一旁
嘿-你現在想要回首
但 這段情早已到頭
挽回也是能夠
只要你當時不走
只要你當時不走
只要你當時不走
只要你當時不走
只要你可以不走

歌曲鑒賞


《All You Had To Do Was Stay》中的歌詞,寥寥兩組排比句,就把一個出爾反爾、不負責任的男人和一位純潔天真、敢愛敢恨的女紙刻畫得躍然紙上。
