20几岁的小女孩,甜美清澈的嗓音,唱着仿佛《第一次亲密接触》式的情话:北京有900万辆自行车,这是一个无法否定的事实,就如我爱你至死不渝;这 世间大约有60亿的芸芸众生,或多或少,我是何其渺小,而你却是我爱的全部……这首单曲一经问世就横扫欧洲各国排行榜,所在专辑《Piece By Piece》也荣登英国专辑排行冠军。——这是凯蒂-梅卢阿(Katie Melua)的《900万辆自行车》,慢板爵士的抒情小曲,曾被杨澜选为她博客的背景音乐。
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
