Yellow(Coldplay)


2000年的一个晚上,Coldplay乐队录制完首张专辑《Parachutes》中的歌曲《Shiver》后,一起出门休息。外面没有什么灯光,天上的星星显得特别耀眼,“太美了!”制作人Ken Nelson感叹道。坐在一旁、胡乱弹着吉他的主唱克里斯·马汀,也抬起头,久久望着夜空。突然,他即兴哼出了《Yellow》的旋律,他被这美妙场景所激发出的灵感一股脑的冲进他的大脑里。

而在创作歌词的时候,马汀犯了难,他找不到合适的词。他在想一个特定的词,来贴合这首歌的概念。他往录音室看了看,无意间看见斯蒂芬妮(克里斯·马汀碰巧在录音室的朋友)的黄色皮肤,斯蒂芬妮皮肤洋溢的黄色光芒让马汀将这首歌被命名为《Yellow》。之后歌词由乐队共同修改,其中乐队成员强尼·邦蓝建议第一句歌词以“Look at the stars”开头。就是在那个晚上,乐队录制了《Yellow》。


歌词

Look at the stars,

Look how they shine for you,

And everything you do,

Yeah, they were all Yellow.

I came along,

I wrote a song for you,

And all the things you do,

And it was called Yellow.

So then I took my turn,

Oh what a thing to have done,

And it was all Yellow.

Your skin

Oh yeah, your skin and bones,

Turn into something beautiful,

You know, you know I love you so,

You know I love you so.

I swam across,

I jumped across for you,

Oh what a thing to do.

Cos you were all Yellow,

I drew a line,

I drew a line for you,

Oh what a thing to do,

And it was all Yellow.

Your skin,

Oh yeah your skin and bones,

Turn into something beautiful,

And you know,

For you I'd bleed myself dry,

For you I'd bleed myself dry.

It's true,

Look how they shine for you,

Look how they shine for you,

Look how they shine for,

Look how they shine for you,

Look how they shine for you,

Look how they shine.

Look at the stars,

Look how they shine for you,

And all the things that you do.

歌词

抬头仰望繁星点点

看它们为你绽放光芒

可你所做的每一件事

却如此羞涩胆怯

追随着你

为你写下了一首歌

想着你举手投足间的胆怯羞涩

歌名就叫做YELLOW

我耗尽心力

想表达对你的爱意

却也胆怯起来

你的肌肤

你的冰肌玉骨

使一切变得如此美丽

你知道吗 我不可自拔的爱上了你

你该明了我已经深深地爱上了你

我整颗心早已游向你

想飞奔到你面前却又止步

不知如何靠近你

因为你是如此羞怯

我画出你的肖像

我画下了你的样子

却不知该如何表示

如此胆怯小心

你的肌肤

你的冰肌玉骨

使一切变得如此美丽

你知道吗

我愿为你抛开一切

我愿意为你奉献我的一切

这都是真的

看!星星都为你绽放光芒

看!星星都为你绽放光芒

看!它们多么耀眼

看!星星都为你绽放光芒

看!星星都为你绽放光芒

看!星星都为你绽放光芒

抬头仰望繁星点点

看它们为你绽放光芒

而你的举手投足却如此胆怯羞涩
