中英歌词
各位早安午安晚安！欢迎收听可可网《听歌学英语》栏目。我是琳达。William Butler Yeats(威廉·巴特勒·叶芝)写过一首题为《当你老了》的诗，其中这几句特别叫人感动“多少人爱过你昙花一现的身影，爱过你的美貌，真心也好假意也好；惟独一人爱着你那朝圣者般的心，爱着你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕(How many loved your moments of glad grace, and loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you， and loved the sorrows of your changing face)”。或许最浪漫的事就是这样，和你的ta不离不弃，相伴到老。今天来一起听上一首来自Martina McBride的When You Are Old吧，不管是哪种年纪，不管能否听懂，它都有能让你感动的理由！
When you are old and tired and gray
当你年老疲倦满头银发
Wear you overcoat on sunny days
晴日也要穿上你的大衣
When your brave tales have all been told
当你所有勇敢的事迹都已被讲述了千万遍
I'll ask for them when you are old
当你老了，我会依然想再听
When you are old and full of sleep
当你年老，整日昏昏欲睡
And death no longer makes you weep
而死亡已不再让你害怕
When your body aches with cold
当寒冷使你的身体疼痛
I'll warm your heart when you are old
当你老了，我会用自己温暖你的心
You'll still be the same to me
对我来说，你依然是你
A comfort and a mystery
是一种慰藉一种神秘
And I will be old too you'll see
你知道，我也会变老
I'll need someone to comfort me
到时，我也将需要某人给我慰藉
When you are old and pale and gone
当你年老变得苍白最后终于离开这个世界
A gentle hand is all you want
你所需要的不过是一只温柔的手
I will give you mine to hold
我会用我的双手拥抱你
And I'll be here when you are old
当你老了，我会守候着你
Yes I will give you mine to hold
是的，我会用我的双手拥抱着你
And I'll be here when you are old
当你老了，我会守候着你
