Castle on the Hill

When I was six years old I broke my leg

I was running from my brother and his friends

And tasted the sweet1)perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down I was younger then

Take me back to when

I found my heart and broke it here

Made friends and lost them through the years

And I’ve not seen the2)roaring felds in so long I know I’ve grown

I can’t wait to go home

＊I’m on my way driving at 90 down those country3)lanes

Singing to Tiny Dancer

And I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill＊

Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes

Running from law through the backfelds

And getting drunk with my friends

Had my frst kiss on a Friday night I don’t4)reckon that I did it right

But I was younger then

Take me back to when

We found weekend jobs, when we got paid

We’d buy cheap5)spirits and drink them straight

Me and my friends have not6)thrown up in so long, oh how we’ve grown I can’t wait to go home

Repeat＊

Over the castle on the hill

Over the castle on the hill

One friend left to sell clothes

One works down by the coast

One had two kids but lives alone

One’s brother7)overdosed

One’s already on his second wife

One’s just8)barely9)getting by

But these people raised me and I can’t wait to go home

And I’m on my way, I still remember these old country lanes

When we did not know the answers

And I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Over the castle on the hill

Over the castle on the hill

在我六歲那年，我摔傷了腿

當(dāng)時(shí)我正從我哥哥和他朋友身旁跑開

當(dāng)我滾下山坡時(shí)，我聞到了山坡綠草的甜蜜芬芳那時(shí)我尚年幼

把我?guī)Щ氐侥莻€(gè)時(shí)候吧

我找到了自己的真心，又在這里心碎

這些年來交過許多朋友，又逐漸失去

我已太久沒見到那片喧囂的原野，我知道我已長大我等不及想要回到家鄉(xiāng)

*我在回鄉(xiāng)的路上，車速90英里，行駛在這些鄉(xiāng)間小徑哼唱著經(jīng)典老歌《小舞者》

而我想念你曾經(jīng)給我的感受，如此真切

我們在山丘的城堡上靜看夕陽*

15歲那年，我抽起了手卷香煙

從后場躲過警衛(wèi)的巡邏

和朋友們喝得爛醉如泥

在某個(gè)周五的夜晚獻(xiàn)上了我的初吻

我認(rèn)為自己那晚的表現(xiàn)并不理想

但那時(shí)我尚年幼

把我?guī)Щ氐侥莻€(gè)時(shí)候吧

我們找到了周末兼職，領(lǐng)到了薪水

我們會(huì)買來便宜的烈酒，然后直接喝光

我和我的朋友們已經(jīng)很久沒有喝吐了，噢我們都已長大我等不及想要回到家鄉(xiāng)

重復(fù)*

在山丘的城堡上在山丘的城堡上

一個(gè)朋友離開家鄉(xiāng)去售賣服裝

一個(gè)去了海濱工作

一個(gè)有了兩個(gè)孩子卻獨(dú)自生活

一個(gè)的兄弟嗑藥過量

一個(gè)已經(jīng)再婚，娶了第二任妻子

一個(gè)的收入勉強(qiáng)度日

但這些人伴我成長，而我等不及想要回到家鄉(xiāng)

我在返鄉(xiāng)的路上，我仍然記得這些老舊的鄉(xiāng)間小徑當(dāng)我們還不知道答案的時(shí)候

而我想念你曾經(jīng)給我的感受，如此真切

我們在山丘的城堡上靜看夕陽

在山丘的城堡上

在山丘的城堡上

有一種情感叫做“nostalgia”，相當(dāng)于中文里的“懷舊”或者“鄉(xiāng)愁”，那是對過去美好時(shí)光的眷戀，對親朋故友的思念，或許并不常占據(jù)你的內(nèi)心，卻總在某個(gè)不經(jīng)意的時(shí)刻，涌上心頭?；蛟S是因?yàn)榻K有一天，我們會(huì)長大，會(huì)漂泊四方，離老家親朋越來越遠(yuǎn)。白日的忙碌喧囂反襯出黑夜的孤單寂寞，才想起，曾經(jīng)的歡笑和昔日的伙伴都去哪兒了呢？

Ed Sheeran（艾德·希蘭），1991年出生的英國創(chuàng)作型歌手，雖然外型并不酷帥，卻憑借驚人的創(chuàng)作才華和富有感染力的演唱，一出道就廣受歌迷追捧。自2005年發(fā)行第一張EP以來，他便各種大獎(jiǎng)拿到手軟，巡演亦是火爆異常。或許如今的社會(huì)是顏值當(dāng)?shù)?，然而歌迷的心中自有分寸，因?yàn)槟艽騽?dòng)人心的美才最為珍貴。

艾德·希蘭的歌詞是他的一大特色，就如這首歌的歌詞，質(zhì)樸又具有極強(qiáng)的敘事性，讓聽者像是親身經(jīng)歷了歌里的故事一般?，F(xiàn)實(shí)和過去的交替呈現(xiàn)，使往日的歡樂與今日的孤獨(dú)形成對比，增強(qiáng)了懷鄉(xiāng)懷舊之感。同學(xué)們在寫作中不妨借鑒這種對比的寫法，會(huì)有意想不到的收獲哦！
