簡介
《I'll Be There for You》是Bon Jovi的一首中速搖滾情歌,是樂隊的代表作之一。雖然歌名很像一首溫馨的浪漫情歌,但其實無論詞還是曲都帶著悲情,表現了一個男人面對愛情將逝時痛徹心扉的懺悔和極力的挽回。歌曲蘊含的強烈真摯的情感、流暢的旋律和主唱Jon Bon Jovi遼闊高亢的聲音都令這首歌充滿魅力。在這首歌中,Bon Jovi的聲音表現相比之前更為成熟,頗有之後的專輯《Keep the Faith》和《These Days》的風格。這首歌登上了美國Billboard Hot 100單曲榜的冠軍,是Bon Jovi樂隊的第四首冠軍單曲。
歌詞與翻譯
I guess this time you’re really leaving
我猜這次你是真的要走了
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
連你的行李箱也說著再見
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
而當我破碎的心不住地流血
You say true love it’s suicide
你告訴我真愛就是自尋毀滅
You say you’ve cried a thousand rivers
你說你已淚流成河
And now you’re swimming for the shore
現在正游向岸邊
You left me drowning in my tears
你任我被淚水淹沒
And you won’t save me anymore
而你再也不會來救我
Now I’m praying to God you’ll give me one more chance, girl
現在我向上帝禱告,願你能再給我一次機會,女孩

I’d live and I’d die for you
為你生死我都甘願
Steal the sun from the sky for you

Words can’t say what love can do
言語道不清愛的力量
I’ll be there for you
