Love Story(爱情故事)
歌词翻译:
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights see the party the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
And I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult but it's real
Don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

制作人:Nathan Chapman, Taylor Swift
独立版本:国际混音版(International Mix),数字狗混音版(Digital Dog Mix),流行混音版(Pop Mix),泰勒的版本(Taylor's Version),泰勒的版本(Elvira混音版)(Taylor's Version(Elvira Remix))
泰勒自称为一个无可救药的浪漫主义者,她属于那种永远不会放弃爱情的人,或者说,不会放弃爱情的可能性。“无论爱情如何回应你,你都要相信爱情,“泰勒曾经这样说,”你不得不相信爱情故事,相信有白马王子,相信自己会在最后得到幸福。这就是我写这些歌曲的原因,因为我相信爱情是无所畏惧。“
“Love Story”的确成为了所有时代的爱情故事,毕竟,这首歌依据的故事可是威廉·莎士比亚笔下最让人难忘的角色:罗密欧和朱丽叶。相较于忠于原著,以悲剧结尾,泰勒的歌曲有着不一样的结局:如果罗密欧和朱丽叶想办法让他们的爱情修成正果会怎样呢?
泰勒注意到,想要这样做,并不需要让这对恋人有着崇高的身份,“对我来说,这首歌讲述的不是生活在城堡中,在皇家舞会遇见了真爱。这个故事要更加简单:爱是值得付出的。”每个人都能找到自己的真爱是一个非常强大的观点。事实上,恋人们经常会在泰勒演唱会演唱Love Story时求婚,这也是因为这首歌的结尾,与原作相比,有着非常重大的转折:罗密欧向朱丽叶求婚了。
“在我写这首歌的结尾的时候,我觉得这是每个女孩心目中爱情故事应有的结局。”泰勒说道,“这是我想要的结局。你想要有这样一个男人,他完全不在意其他人怎么想,其他人怎么说。”
写出这样一个同莎士比亚故事结局完全不同的完美情节,泰勒对于自己爱情生活却抱有不满,那时候她“正在同一个不那么受人欢迎的人约会,”她是这样说的,“他的情况有些复杂,可是我不在意。”(之后,她澄清了自己的意思:她的父母和朋友不太喜欢这个约会对象)。然而,泰勒采取了“爱情故事”幻想故事中的其他元素。“这很多情况下都很像我在电影中见到的,就像是莎士比亚的戏剧,就像是阅读中遇到的情节和一些让人着迷的事情混合起来的情景。”
就和泰勒很多早期的单曲那样,“Love Story”有很多额外的混音版本:一个是经典的乡村风格,有着经典吉他的颤音,活泼的班卓琴和华丽的小提琴,另一个则是流行风格,有着柔和的鼓点和附加的活泼电吉他。原版和2021年重录的“Love Story”版本都在告示牌乡村热歌榜上达到了第一名。唯一能做到原版和重录都能达到此成绩的另一个艺术家则是多莉·帕顿(Dolly Parton)。
