赖世雄精讲英文歌曲(4): 小宝贝 Little Darling

本曲大意

这首歌叙述一位男孩子因为一个女孩子而神魂颠倒，发觉如果再陷下去的话，他将无法自拔，但又抑制不住自己（因为这女孩实在太好了），想来想去，管他的，先爱再说！

英文歌词

Ah,ya,ya,ya,ya,...ah.
Hey! Little darlin. Oh, little darlin. Oh, ho, ho, where are you? My love-a (dear-a), I was wrong-a to try to love you. Oh-hoo-ha-hoo-ha-hoo-ha! Oh, well-a, that my love-a was just for you, hoo-hoo, only you.
(Spoken) My darling, I need you to call my own, and never do wrong. To hold in mine your little hand, Ill know, too soon, that all is so rare¹. Please hold my hand.

小宝贝。哦，小宝贝。哦，妳在那里？我亲爱的，我觉得爱上妳是件错误的事。哦，嗯，我必须要告诉妳我当时只爱妳一个人。
（旁白）亲爱的，我需要妳陪伴在我身旁，不要做任何会伤害我的事。如果能将妳的小手握在我的手里，剎那间我将知道妳的爱是珍贵的。请妳握住我的手。
