华南师范大学外文学院英语系04级学生。喜欢英文，喜欢听英文歌曲，一首好的英文歌曲不仅让我学到课文里学不到的知识，更让我体味到歌者的人生。令我陶醉的不仅仅是动人的旋律，找到每首歌的触动点，理解每首歌背后的故事才是我最大的享受。除了听歌还喜欢看看书，听歌让我觉得享受，看书让我觉得充实。

 我听之我见：Broken vow曾被跨界男声Josh Groban翻唱，同时也被人气偶像剧《流星花园》选为插曲。在钢琴和弦乐的前奏中，Lara Fabian由平静的中音盘旋至激昂的高音，极深情地演唱着，声音在空气中慢慢散开……

    Lyrics       

Broken vow           by   Lara Fabian

Tell me her name
I want to know
The way she looks
And where you go
I need to see her face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end

Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own

I'll let you go
I'll let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I'll let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time

I'll let you go
I'll let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I'll let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to life than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes

I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end

I'll let you go
I'll let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I'll let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

  中文歌词

破碎的誓言

告诉我她的名字
我想知道
她是否有闭月羞花的美貌
还有，你要去哪里
我想见她
我想知道
为何我们走到了尽头

请再告诉我
我想让你告诉我
是谁让我多年来的信念破灭
是谁在夜里陪在你身边
而让我独守空房
要知道我曾是你的一切

我会让你走
我会让你自由地飞
我何苦追问你离开的原因
我会让你走
现在我懂得
如何去把握
而非苦守着破碎的誓言

告诉我你想听我说些什么
不要再在我面前掩饰忧伤
让我感动
你曾承诺给我永远
亦或者，一切一直都是幻影
