Don't Write Me Off

It's never been easy for me
To find words to go along with a melody
But this time there's actually something on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I've met you, my whole life has changed
It's not just my furniture, you've rearranged
I was living in the past, but somehow you've brought me back
And I haven't felt like this since before Frankie said relax

And while I know based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I'm asking you, is don't write me off just yet

For years I've been telling myself the same old story
That I'm happy to live off my so called former glories
But you've given me a reason to take another chance
Now I need you, despite the fact that you’ve killed all my plants

And though I know I've already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I'm asking you, is don't write me off just yet
Don’t write me off just yet

Don't Write Me Off 這首歌,是電影 'Music and Lyrics' 的其中一首歌。只看歌詞,甚至聽到這歌,其實沒甚麼特別。不過,當你一路看這電影,看到 Hugh Grant 唱這歌這一段,真是十分感動。平淡的曲調,簡潔的歌詞,但是十分配合當時的情節。每一字每一句,都是男主角由衷的心底話。

昨天星期日假期,我也把這電影看了一次。看的是三區 DVD 版,這個版本的中譯字幕比起香港上映的電影版字幕可能較好。我只在 Pop 這首歌播放時開了中譯字幕,這個翻譯不像上映的版本這麼爛!
