這首歌旨在表明歌者對他女友的忠心。男女相愛時,常會用一些美麗的詞藻來表示對對方的情意永恒不變,譬如:『我會愛妳/你直到海枯石爛』、『我對妳/你的愛如天長地久』。英文歌曲中,亦有許多類似的詞句,如Ill love you forever and a day.(我會愛妳/你到永遠,外加一天。)或如本歌曲中的Ill love you till the sun dries up the sea.(我會愛妳/你直到太陽蒸幹了海水。)。學英文老歌不知不覺中也練就了我們用英文寫情書的技巧。您說聽英文老歌值不值得呢?
英文歌詞
Darling, you can count on me till the sun dries up the sea. Until then Ill always be devoted to you. Ill be yours through endless time. Ill adore your charms sublime. Guess by now you know that Im devoted to you.
Ill never hurt you. Ill never lie. Ill never be untrue. Ill never give you reason to cry. Id be unhappy if you were blue. Through the years my love will grow. Like a river; it will flow. It cant die because Im so devoted to you.
