never grow up，Taylor Swift演唱的歌曲

创作背景

Taylor在2010年7月正式搬出父母的房子，开始独立生活。她说这比起她的朋友们来说要晚一些，她的同龄人们多是在十八九岁上大学时就开始独立。在美国，多数的年轻人都是在这个年纪就开始独立生活了，因此Taylor20岁了才搬出家门算是晚了。（记得有一次看明珠台的笑笑小电影，播了一个小短片，讲有个男人三更半夜在家里扮鬼吓他的妈妈。片段很好笑，但是播完后主持人说了一句：其实这个视频最恐怖的地方不在于这个妈妈在家里被儿子扮鬼吓到，而是她的儿子三四十岁了竟然还和妈妈一起住。）事实上，尽管搬出父母家，但Taylor很多时间都是和父母呆在一起的。所以搬出家门并没有让Taylor和爸爸妈妈缺少相处的机会。因为工作的关系，Taylor和父母仍然保持着十分亲密的关系。

尽管Taylor对有一个独立的寓所表现出极大的兴奋，她的新家里的装修什么的全是她自己包办，没有请设计师设计，在采访中也经常说起买了新房子一个人住非常不错。但当她真正的搬出来，独立生活时，她又开始唱道：

Taylor说：

taylor swift小时候Never Grow Up is a song about the fact that I don't quite know how I feel about growing up.

Never Grow Up

这首歌写的是其实我并不真正了解自己对于长大这件事的感觉。

It's tricky.

这是一种很复杂的情感。

Growing up happens without you knowing it.

在不经意间，你就长大成人了。

Growing up is such a crazy concept becau a lot of times when you were younger you wish you were older.

长大实在是一个很疯狂的概念，因为当你还小时，你无数次地希望快点长大（但当你长大时，你却不是这么想的）。

I look out into a crowd every night and I e a lot of girls that are my age and going through exactly the same things as I'm going through.

每一个夜晚，当我望向舞台前的人群时，我看到很多年纪与我相仿的女孩子，事实上她们所经历的也正是我经历的（长大后不想长大）。

Every once in a while I look down and I e a little girl who is ven or eight, and I wish I could tell her all of this.

因此，每一次当我低头看着那些七八岁的小女孩时，我真希望我可以告诉她我所知道的。

There she is becoming who she is going to be and forming her thoughts and dreams and opinions.

关于她将会成长为她理想中的样子，编织着自己的人生观和梦想的事情。

I wrote this song for tho little girls.

于是我写下这首歌给那些小女孩们。

歌曲歌词

英文

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter cau you're dreaming

So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you everything's funny

You got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have, honey

If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart

And no one will dert you

Just try to never grow up, never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies

And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off

At 14 there's just so much you can't do

And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots

But don't make her drop you off around the block

Remember that she's getting older too

And don't lo the way that you dance around in your PJs getting ready for school

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred

And even though you want to, just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room

Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home

Remember the footsteps, remember the words said

And all your little brother's favorite songs

I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment

In a big city, they just dropped me off

It's so much colder than I thought it would be

So I tuck mylf in and turn my night light on

Wish I'd never grown up

I wish I'd never grown up

Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up

I could still be little

Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up

It could still be simple

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

Won't let nobody hurt you

Won't let no one break your heart

And even though you want to, plea try to never grow up

Oh, don't you ever grow up

Oh, never grow up, just never grow up

译文

你的小手握着我的手指

今晚，这个世界好安静

你的眼皮因为你正做的梦微微的颤动着

我帮你盖上被子，打开了你最喜爱的小夜灯

对你而言，这一切是多么的有趣，没有事情让你感到遗憾

亲爱的，我给了你一切我所拥有的

希望你能一直保持这样

亲爱的，你可以就这样不要长大吗

就这样不要长大，就一直这样小小的

亲爱的，你可以就这样不要长大吗

就这样不要长大，世界就会这样一直简简单单的

我不会让任何人伤害你，我不会让任何人破碎你的心

没有人会抛弃你

试着的不要长大，不要长大

你坐在车里，在去看电影的路上

因为妈妈送你，而让你感到羞愧

当你14岁的时候，有许许多多的事情你没有办法做

你等不及有一天，你会搬出去，拥有自己的房子，掌握着自己的一切

但是别让她送你到离目的地一个街区远的地方（怕被别人看见）

记得，她也在慢慢的变老

不要忘了你是如此兴奋的穿着睡衣一边跳舞，一边做着准备去学校

亲爱的，你可以就这样不要长大吗

就这样不要长大，就这样一直小小的

亲爱的，你可以就这样不要长大吗

就这样不要长大，世界就会这样一直简简单单的

没有人伤害你，永远不会有人让你一个人害怕

即使你盼望着，也请试着不要长大吧

把你童年房间的样子印在记忆里

记住爸爸到家前的脚步声

记得那个脚步声，记得那些话语

还有所有你弟弟最爱的歌

我才意识到，我拥有的一切都会在未来的某一天消失

我站在我的新的公寓里

在一个大城市，他们开车送我到这里

比我想象的要寒冷的许多

我盖上了自己的被子，打开了自己的小夜灯

真希望我永远不会长大

我祈祷着，我永远不会长大

我不想长大，真希望我永远不会长大

我依旧是那样小小的

我不想长大，真希望我永远不会长大

世界便依旧是那样的简单

亲爱的，你可以就这样不要长大吗

就这样不要长大，就一直这样小小的

亲爱的，你可以就这样不要长大吗

就这样不要长大，世界就会这样一直简简单单的

我不会让任何人伤害你

不会让任何人伤害你的心

即使你盼望着，也请你试着永远不会长大

永远不会长大

永远不会长大，就这样永远不会长大
