聽歌學英文: Casablanca

Ttile: Casablanca
Artist: Bertie Higgins

I fell in love with you watching Casablanca,
Back row at the driving show in the flickering light.
Popcorn and cokes beneath the stars
Became champagne and caviar
Making love on the long hot summer’s night.

I thought you fell in love with me watching Casablanca
Holding hands beneath the paddle fans in Rick’s candle-lit cafe
Hiding in the shadows from the spots
A rocky moonlight in your arms
Making magic in the movie in my old Chevrolet

Oh， a kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
A kiss is not a kiss without your sign
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by

I guess there are many broken hearts in Casablanca
You know I’ve never really been there
So I don’t know
I guess our love story will never be seen
On the big wide silver screen
when I had to watch you go

歌詞大意

我愛上你時是看《卡薩布蘭卡》。
在閃爍的燈光下，我們坐在露天影院在後排
在星光下，爆米花和可口可樂
可以和香檳和魚子醬媲美
我們相愛在漫長、炎熱的夏日夜晚裏

我想你愛上我時是在看《卡薩布蘭卡》，
恍惚身臨其境牽著手，如在呂克飯店
我們避開光線
晃動的月光仍然照在你手臂上
電影魔力發生在我那輛老式雪佛萊車裏

在《卡薩布蘭卡》裏一次次的熱烈地親吻
但是沒有你的親吻就不是真正的親吻
快回我身邊，進入《卡薩布蘭卡》
我愛你，隨著時間流逝與日驟增

我猜想在《卡薩布蘭卡》中有很多破碎的心
你知道我永遠也不可能置身其中
所以我不知道有多少傷心者。
我想我們的愛情故事
永遠上不了巨大寬銀幕
因此我隻能看著你離去
