Westlife ~ Obvious 

    

Yeah, ooh
We started as friends
But something happened inside me
Now I'm reading into everything
There's no sign you really like me, baby

You don't ever notice when I'm turning on my charm
Or wonder why I'm always where you are

I've made it obvious
I done everything but sing it
I've crushed on you so long
But on and on you get me wrong
I'm not so good with words
And since you never noticed
The way that we belong
I'll say it in a love song

I've heard you talk about (Heard you talk about)
How you want someone just like me (Just like me)
Every time I ask you out (Time I asked you out)
We never move pass friendly, no no

You don't ever notice how I stare when we're alone
Or wonder why I keep you on the phone

I've made it obvious
I done everything but sing it
I crushed on you so long (So long)
But on and on you get me wrong
I'm not so good with words
And since you never noticed
The way that we belong
I'll say it in a love song, yeah

You are my very first thought in the morning
And my last at nightfall
You are the love that came without warning
I need you, I want you to know

I've made it obvious
So finally I'll sing it
I've crushed on you so long
Oh yeah
Wo ohh
I'm not so good with words
Since you never noticed
The way that we belong
I'll say it in a love song

The love song,
I'll sing it until the day you're holding me
Ooh
I've wanted you so long
but on and on you get me wrong
Ooh yeah
I more than adore you
but since you never seem to see
(More than adore you)

Since you never seem to see
I'll say it in this love song

 

 

Westlife ~ Flying Without Wings

      

Fly without wings   Westlife

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in the solitary night
You'll find it the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So, impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Cause who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

Well for me, it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place

It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
'Cause you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings

And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings

展翅高飛   西城男孩合唱團

每個人都在找尋某種東西
一種能成就自我的東西
在最意想不到的地方尋獲了
在你未曾想過的地方

有人在孩童的臉龐尋獲了
有人在情人的眼中覓得了
誰能否認它所帶來的歡樂
當你找到那特別的東西
沒有雙翼,你仍將展翅飛翔

有人因每天早晨分享而尋獲了
在孤寂的夜晚依然覓得
你會發現其就在他人的話語中
即使支字片語也會讓你歡笑或流淚

在最深的友誼中你會尋獲
終其一生珍惜之
當你明瞭其意義多麼重大
你發現了那特別之物
沒有雙翼,你仍將展翅高飛

乍看下,好像不可能
但你得為夢想而奮鬥
因為誰會知道你失去了什麼
原本會成就你的事物

至於我,在你身旁醒來
看著你臉上映照出的旭日般的光芒
知道我可以說出「我愛你」
無論何時何地

我所知有限
但卻能讓我擁有你
就像沒有雙翼,仍能展翅飛翔
只因你對我意義重大
沒有雙翼,我仍能展翅飛翔

我的人生因你而開始
因你而結束
沒有雙翼,我仍能展翅飛翔
你所帶來的歡樂
即使沒有雙翼,我仍能展翅飛翔

Westlife ~ My love 

 

My love   Westlife

An empty street, an empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone, the rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how, I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together

*And oh my love, I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far

So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue, to see you once again
My love
Overseas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green, to see you once again
My love

I try to read, I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends
But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking
I wonder how, I wonder why, I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together(*)

To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from the heart
You're all I'm thinking of(*)

吾愛   西城男孩合唱團

空曠的街道,荒廢的房子
我心底有個空洞
我獨自一人,房間日益壅塞
我想知道為何如此?
我想知道它們如今何在?
那些我們擁有的歲月,一起唱過的歌

噢!吾愛,我始終堅持著
向那看似遙遠的愛伸出雙手

因此,我祈禱
但願我的夢想能帶我前去
到那天空蔚藍的地方,再次和你見面
吾愛
越過海洋,從此岸到彼岸
找到了我最鍾愛的地方
那兒有平疇綠野,再次和你見面
吾愛

我試著閱讀、工作
和朋友們嬉鬧著
但我無法停下來,不去思考
我想知道為何如此?我想知道它們如今何在?
那些我們擁有的歲月,一起唱過的歌

將你擁在懷裡
對你許下承諾,吾愛
對你訴說肺腑之言
你是我最想念的

Westlife ~ If I let you go 

 

 

 

If I let you go   Westlife

Day after day time pass away
And I just can't get you off my mind
Nobody knows I hide it inside
I keep on searching but I can't find

The courage is to show to letting you know
I've never felt so much love before
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out

But if I let you go
I will never know
What my life would be
Holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me
Oh yeah how will I know
If I let you go

Night after night
I hear myself say
Why can't this feeling just fade away
There's no one like you
You speak to my heart
It's such a shame
We're worlds apart

I'm too shy to ask
I'm too proud to lose
But sooner or later I've gotta choose

如果我讓妳走   西城男孩合唱團

日復一日,時光逝去
我郤無法將妳忘掉
無人知曉我一直隱藏在心裡
我似然去尋,但郤找不到

我鼓起勇氣地告訴妳
我從來沒有感受到如此深刻的愛
我再次去想
想出更容易的方法

如果我讓妳走
我永遠不會知道
我的一生會如何
擁抱住妳在我身旁
我是否能再次看到妳的微笑?
我曉得多少呢?
如果我讓妳走

夜復一夜
我自言自語
為什麼這感覺還依然存在呢?
妳卻是唯一的人
在我心裡細訴
但真是令人慚愧
我們竟分隔在兩個世界

我太害羞而不敢去問
我太得意而失去
但早晚我都需做個決定

Westlife ~ Swear it again

 

 

 

Swear it again   Westlife

I wanna know
Who ever told you I was letting go
Of the only joy that I have ever known
Girl they were lying
Just look around
And all the people that we used to know
Have just given up they wanna let it go
But we're still trying

So you should know this love we share
Was never made to die
I'm glad we're on this one-way street
Just you and I
Just you and I

*I'm never gonna say goodbye
'Cause I never wanna see you cry
I swore to you my love would remain
And I'd swear it all over again, and I
I'm never gonna treat you bad
'Cause I never wanna see you sad
I swore to share your joys and your pain
And I'd swear it all over again

Some people say
That everything has got its place and time
Even the day must give way to the night
But I'm not buying
Cause in your eyes
I see a love that burns eternally
And if you see how beautiful you are to me
You'll know I'm not lying

Sure there'll be times we wanna say goodbye
But even if we tried
There are some things in this life
Won't be denied
Won't be denied (*)

The more I see of you is the more I know I love you
The more that I'm sure I want you for ever and ever more
And the more that I know
Oh that I'm never gonna let you go
Gotta let you know that

再次發誓   西城男孩合唱團

我想知道
是誰告訴你我想放手
放掉那我唯一明白的喜悅
女孩,有人在說謊
看看四週
我倆認識的人們
都已放棄,他們都想放手
但我倆仍在努力

因此,你應該明白我倆共享的愛
絕對不是為死而生
我很高興我倆走在單行道上
就只有我倆
就只有我倆

我絕對不會和你告別
因為我從來不想看見你哭泣
我向你發誓,我的愛永遠在
我可以一次又一次的發誓
我絕對不會虧待你
因為我從來不想看到你傷心
我發誓,我會和你分享喜悅、分擔痛苦
我可以一次又一次的發誓

有人說
萬事萬物皆有其安身立命的道理
即使白晝都需讓路給黑夜
但我可不買帳
因為在你眼底
我看到了永遠燃燒的愛
如果你明白你在我心中是多麼美
你就明白我不是在說謊

當然,將來我們也許會道別
但即使我倆再努力
生命中有些事
是不能否認的

越看著你,我明白我會越愛你
也越確定我越來越需要你
我更明白
我永遠不會讓你走
這些事我都要讓你明白
