英文歌词

Hi there. Time to LETM with us again. And no one else is here it's just me Linda. Been experiencing weird weather where I live. One minute,it's hot; the next, freezing like hell. Guess it'll last for quite a while. But I'll live! Anyway, for today's program, I've prepared two songs to which some of us might never listen anymore. It's not that they are not good. They have had their days for being catchy and having funky beat. But they get old so quick because of random and meaniningless lyrics. I'm talking about songs like WHO LET THE DOGS OUT and JENNY FROM THE BLOCK. Awesome or aweful? You decide!大家好。有些歌可能听过之后就绝对不会回头再听,今天我们就为大家准备了这样两首过气歌曲。并不是歌曲本身很烂。歌词上口,节奏时髦,因为这些因素它们也曾红极一时。但是,这些因素并没有使它们逃过被人遗忘的命运。原因就在于,它们歌词太过随性肤浅,毫无深度可言。WHO LET THE DOGS OUT和JENNY FROM THE BLOCK就是这样的歌曲。很不错还是难听到不行?各抒己见吧!

歌词讲解

歌曲赏析:

Translating the lyrics of some pop music is a tricky thing. Some say WHO LET THE DOGS OUT,the name itself means nothing and it's actually a perverted song. Listen to the lyrics. What they are trying to say is men are dogs (no offense guys). At parties most guys walk up to girls and use all the pick up lines they could think of to "get the girl". Figuratively the men would become like dogs (eager, rowdy, loyal, etc.) when they saw women. Then again, I could be possibly wrong.翻译这样的流行乐实属不易。有人说WHO LET THE DOGS OUT歌名本身没有意思,并且歌曲有点流气。细听一下歌词,我觉得歌曲本身是在说,男人像狗一样。在聚会上,大多数男士都会用尽各种搭讪语来把妹。歌曲把见到女人时的男人比喻成了按耐不住的狂躁但是又很专一的公狗。但是也许我理解错了也不一定。

Let's try to dig the song a little bit deeper while listening to JENNY FROM THE BLOCK:
