American English
—Wax
Here comes my one and only
Talking like a starlet on a Hollywood screen
She whispers something to me
I hear the words but I don't know what she means
Oh she speaks American English
Oh don't always understand
Though she speaks American English
Got the language of love
At her command
Love travels transatlantic①
I'm hot and bothered by her figure of speech
Can't follow her semantics②
But when her body moves it's clear to me
Oh she speaks American English
Oh don't always understand
Though she speaks American English
Got the language of love
At her command
We don't need words
To express what is real
We've got each other
That says everything that we feel
There's too much damn confusion
With all this talking going round and round
We'll reach our own conclusion
We'll make connection on the common ground
Oh she speaks American English
Oh don't always understand
Though she speaks American English
Got the language of love
At her command
《美式英语》
——Wax
我的唯一来了
像好莱坞荧幕上的明星一样说话
她向我低语
我听到这句话,但是我不知道她是什么意思
哦,她说美式英语
哦,总是不理解
虽然她说美式英语
爱的语言
由她掌控
爱跨越大西洋
她的话语让我心烦意乱
不能理解她的语义
但是,她的身体动作对我来说很明显
哦,她说美式英语
哦,总是不理解
虽然她说美式英语
爱的语言
由她掌控
我们不需要言语
表达什么是真实
我们彼此拥有
这就是我们的感觉
有太多的困惑
所有这些话语在脑海里绕了一圈又一圈
我们会得出自己的结论
我们将在共同点上建立联系
哦,她说美式英语
哦,总是不理解
虽然她说美式英语
爱的语言
由她掌控
[日积月累]
