Enchanted – Taylor Swift (泰勒·斯威夫特)
Lyrics by:Taylor Swift/Chris Carmichael
Composed by:Taylor Swift
There I was again tonight forcing laughter faking smiles
Same old tired lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
Your eyes whispered have we met
Across the room your silhouette starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
This night is sparkling don’t you let it go
I’m wonderstruck blushing all the way home
I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
The lingering question kept me up
2 am who do you love
I wonder till I’m wide awake
And now I’m pacing back and forth wishing you were at my door
I’d open up and you would say “Hey”
It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you
This night is sparkling don’t you let it go
I’m wonderstruck blushing all the way home
I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless don’t you let it go
I’m wonderstruck dancing around all alone
I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
This is me praying that this was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don’t be in love with someone else
Please don’t have somebody waiting on you
Please don’t be in love with someone else
Please don’t have somebody waiting on you
This night is sparkling don’t you let it go
I’m wonderstruck blushing all the way home
I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless don’t you let it go
I’m wonderstruck dancing around all alone
I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don’t be in love with someone else
Please don’t have somebody waiting on you
《Enchanted》:一首关于一见倾心与忐忑期盼的恋曲
创作背景:一场浪漫邂逅的灵感迸发
- 邂逅的起点:故事的开端是泰勒与一位神秘男子的相遇。两人先是通过电子邮件频繁交流,建立了初步的联系。随后,泰勒满怀期待地前往纽约与他见面。
- 灵感的源泉:这次会面给泰勒留下了极其深刻的印象。在回家的路上,她心潮澎湃,思绪万千,内心默默祈祷着对方也同样对她心动,并且尚未心有所属。正是这种强烈而又忐忑的情感,激发了她的创作灵感。
- 歌词中的暗语:一个广为流传且被普遍接受的解读是,这首歌的对象是美国电子乐队Owl City的主唱亚当·扬(Adam Young)。细心的粉丝发现,在歌曲的官方歌词册中,泰勒特意将“A-D-A-M”这个名字以首字母大写的形式隐藏在了歌词里,这被视为一个巧妙的暗示。
- 浪漫的回应:亚当·扬在听到这首歌并解读出其中的暗语后,于2011年情人节录制了一版属于他自己的《Enchanted》作为回应。他修改了部分歌词,唱道:“噢,泰勒,遇见你,我也同样着迷(Oh Taylor, I was so enchanted to meet you too)”,并直接向她表白。这段“音乐传情”的互动,为这首歌增添了一段佳话。
表达含义:心动瞬间的内心独白
- 初见的魔力:歌曲开篇描绘了一个乏味、虚伪的社交场合,直到“我”看到了“你”的脸庞,一切都变得不同。歌词“你的眼神仿佛在低语‘我们见过吗?’(Your eyes whispered 'Have we met?')”生动地刻画了初次见面时那种似曾相识的奇妙电流。整个夜晚因此变得“火花四溅(sparking)”和“完美无瑕(flawless)”。
- 患得患失的焦虑:歌曲最打动人心的部分,莫过于桥段(Bridge)中反复吟唱的祈愿:“请别爱上别人,请别有人在等你(Please don't be in love with someone else, Please don't have somebody waiting on you)”。这几句歌词将暗恋中那种深藏的恐惧、卑微的希望和患得患失的心情推向了高潮,是整首歌情感最浓烈、最直击人心的爆发点。
- 纯粹的期盼:泰勒在歌中坦诚地呈现了“兵荒马乱”的内心活动——从回家路上止不住的脸红心跳(blushing all the way home),到凌晨两点辗转反侧地猜测对方的心意(2 a.m., who do you love?)。这种真诚的脆弱感,让每一个有过类似经历的听众都能产生强烈的共鸣。
