音乐咖啡厅:空谷足音 Someone like you

Someone like you        by Sissel

Swear I made up my mind
When I saw you that first time
It's like you were sent from the sky
The kind of love you hear about
That you just can't do without
Baby that's you and I

Always believed there was something more
Through every empty hour I kept searching for

Someone like you
Who does everything the way that you do
Someone like you
Baby, no one holds a candle
The only someone I want is you

I've treasured this romance¹
And hold you as we dance
Our way through love's open door
I found my happiness
Within your sweet caress
Than I've ever known before

Some things fate won't let you leave behind
I could turn this world over and I'd never find

Someone like you
Who does everything the way that you do
Someone like you
Baby, no one holds a candle
The only someone I want is you

It's not like I've given up life
Just because I've found missing part
I've never felt something so right
Your love is a gift to my heart

Some things fate won't let you leave behind
I could turn this world over and I'd never find

Someone like you
Who does everything the way that you do
Someone like you
Baby, no one holds a candle
The only someone I want is you

 

  Words and phrases

1. no one holds a candle：处理中文歌词时，译文暂定为“没有谁能与你相比”。

短语“hold a candle（to）”常和否定形式连用，指“及不上、比不上”，其相应的英文释义为“be inferior² to someone or something”。

据悉，该短语最早出现于1564年，源自英国诗人的“John Heywood's collection ”（《约翰·海伍德文集，1564》）。当时，人们以蜡烛照明，视举蜡烛（为主人照明）的人为下等人，由此，not hold a candle to（还及不上举蜡烛的人）后引申为“比不上”。

看下面一个例句：She writes quite amusing³ stories but she can' t hold a candle to the more serious novelists. （她能写些很有趣的故事，但是，若和能发人深省的小说家相比，就差远了。）

  中文歌词

谁能够像你        西丝儿

初次遇见你
我发誓 心便相许
你仿佛天使下凡
传说中的爱情
一定拥有 亲爱的
爱的故事里有你有我

我倾注所有的余暇来寻找
总相信冥冥中能找到点什么

谁能够像你
像你那样做每一件事
谁能够像你 亲爱的
没有谁能与你相比
你是我唯一的渴求

这份爱我一直珍藏
与你共舞时拥抱你
倘佯于爱的海洋
我幸福无比
感受你甜蜜的爱抚
生命中最甜的爱抚
