【英文歌曲】歌词精讲《四月的爱》和《沙滩上的情书》

一、四月的爱1、本曲大意这是一首叙述在四月春天时谈恋爱的歌。

在四月份恋爱使一切似乎都变得美好起来。

但歌者提醒说四月的爱有时候是稍纵即逝的。

因此如果你（妳）确定她（他）就是你（妳）所要的爱人，那就不要轻易让她（他）溜走。

2、英文歌词April love is for the very young. Every stars awishing star that shines for you. April love is all the seven wonders. One little kiss can tell you this is tru e.*Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers, rain to grow the flowers for her firstbouquet. But April love can slip right through your fing ers, so if she is the one, don’t let her run away. (Repeat*)3、歌词翻译四月的爱是给年轻人谈的恋爱。

每颗星星都是为你闪耀的许愿星。

四月的爱就像所有七大奇景那样不可思议。

轻轻的一个吻就能告诉你此话不假。

有时候四月天会突然下起阵雨，雨水滋长花朵，男孩子就收集花朵做成第一束花送给女孩子。

但四月的爱可能会从你的指缝间溜走。

因此，如果她就是你所爱的人，不要让她跑掉。
