最近常常聽到 Katie Melua 的廣告唱著：

如果你是塊木頭我就會釘你還什麼的...
如果你是帆船我就把你帆到海邊什麼的...

對不起，翻成這樣真的浪漫不起來，

廣告裡出現她之前的歌，
它剪接的點很怪，那一小段乍聽之下不太像 Katie Melua，
而有點像王菲，後來仔細聽才聽出來是 九百萬輛腳踏車，
外國人的歌詞寫得很妙，
有時候每個字都懂的時候反而覺得浪漫不起來，

北京有九百萬台腳踏車
這是個事實
就像我愛你愛到死一樣....

這... ok 的，還是很好聽，
不過我真的想說，還好中文的世界裡有 Mr. Wu。



Katie Melua - Nine Million Bicycles

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you.

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all

We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!
