Bruno Mars



I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
buy all of the things I never had
uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

[Chorus]
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
for when I'm a billionaire

[Travis 'Travie' McCoy]
Yeah I would have a SHOW like OPRAH
I would be the HOST of, EVERYday Christmas
give TRAVIE a wish list
I'd probably PULL an Angelina and BRAD Pitt
and ADOPT a bunch of babies that AIN'T never had sh-t
give away a few merCEDES like HERE lady HAVE this
and LAST but not least GRANT somebody their LAST wish its been a COUPLE months that I've BEEN single so
YOU can call me Travie Claus MINUS the Ho Ho
get it, I'd PRObably visit where KATRINA hit
and DAMN sure do a LOT more than FEMA did
yeah CAN'T forget about ME stupid
EVERYwhere I go Imma have my OWN theme music

[Chorus]
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
for when I'm a billionaire
oh oooh oh oooh for when I'm a Billionaire
oh oooh oh oooh for when I'm a Billionaire

[Travis 'Travie' McCoy] I'll be playing BASKetball with the PREsident
DUNKing on his DElegates
then I'll compliment him on his political etiquette
toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
but keep the fives, twentys (?) completely separate
and yeah I'll be in a whole new tax bracket
we in recession but let me take a crack at it
I'll probably take whatever's left and just split it up
so everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
and not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
go in your pocket pull out your wallet
and put it in the air and sing

[Bruno Mars]
I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
buy all of the things I never had
uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
[Chorus]
I wanna be a billionaire so frickin bad!


Bruno Mars 算是最近兩三年的大紅人了,他的歌通常旋律很優,歌詞內容也很好,更重要的是,他發音相當的準確,幾乎不會有聽不清楚的歌詞 ==>>這點對拿聽歌練英文的人加分很大,打個比方,如果一個老外要學中文,有誰會建議聽周杰倫的歌嗎?


Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh

Take, take, take it all

Take it = Tak-it

But you never give注意聽 But you 的部分 你會發現他不但把兩個字連一起了 還發出了 tch的音, 聽起來就像是
"Butchou" 而不是分開的 But you.
Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss,
Should of的部分也是一樣 連在一起了變成 "Shouldof"
Had your eyes wide open?
Had your 這兩個也是經典的連音,中間跑出了一個 dg (As in judge)的音
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
Andyou 跟之前的Hadyou 一樣,不過這裡 And 和 You 各自的時間都比較長,所以連音比較沒有那麼明顯
You tossed it in the trash, you did
tossed it 這裡要把尾巴的d 和 it連一起,聽起來像 toss dit
To give me all your love is all I ever asked,
Cause what you don't understand is
whatchou
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
為了方便接後面, of 尾巴的 f只有發一半音出來,幾乎是含在嘴巴裡了,就像台北英文名師謝老師強調的,念英文要懶,要放鬆,沒有重要意義字可以念快點,或是半省略掉. (of這個字幾乎算是一個空洞的介系詞.)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
上面這四句,都有把重音強調在相對應的位置, nade, blade, train, thing.念的時候,只要把這裡音拉高和拉長就很好唱了,另外一個小地方是這四個重音,都是發張開嘴巴的緊張音.所以本來就必較好拉長唱. 寫歌詞的人很強阿!
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Take a = Taka
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same
Butchou又來了一遍


No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue beat me till I'm numb
Tell the devil I said “hey” when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman,
That's just what you are, yeah,
whatchou又來了一次
You’ll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my car
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
Cause what you don't understand is
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same


If my body was on fire, ooh
You’ d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you're a liar (Said-you)
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby...
But darling I’ll still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same.
No, you won’t do the same,
You wouldn’t do the same,
Ooh, you’ll never do the same,
No, no, no, no
Oh her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining.
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying. 
She's so beautiful, and I tell her everyday. 出現拉~ 仔細聽,他真的把 tell her 念成了 tell-er, 把 h 給去掉了 
Yeaaa. I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me.
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what i see.
But everytime she ask me 'Do I look okay?' I say..
When I see your face (face, face)

there's not a thing that I would change.
(not-a) 這非常常見,把 a 連上去之前的子音尾巴 t
Cause you're amazing just the way you are.
And when you smile (smile, smile) the whole world stops
and stares for a while.
Cause girl, you're amazing just the way you are.

Yeaaa!

Her lips, her lips I could kiss them all day if she let me.
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy.
She's so beautiful, and I tell her everyday.

Ohhh you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change.
If perfect's what your searching for then just stay the same.
Sooo don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I'll say...

When I see your face (face, face) there's not a thing that I would change.
Cause you're amazing just the way you are.
And when you smile (smile, smile) the whole world stops
and stares for a while.
Cause girl, you're amazing just the way you are.

The way you are.
The way you are.
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are.

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change.
Cause you're amazing just the way you are.
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while.
Cause girl, you're amazing just the way you are.

Yeaaa.


Today I don't feel like doing anythingI just wanna lay in my bed


want to = wanna

Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Uh, I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan
Turn the TV on 
這裡挺有趣的 TV 的結尾是母音 on的開頭也是母音,所以在兩個音之前,出現了一個 "衣"的音
TV on = TV yon
Throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon tell me I can't, nah

I'll be lying on the couch just chillin in my snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
Cause in my castle I'm the freakin man

Oh Oh, yes I said it
I said it
I said it cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh
Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh

Tomorrow I wake up, do some P90X
With a really nice girl have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out, "this is great"
(Oh my god
this is great)
I might mess around and get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
I'm sorry pops you just have to wait 
仔細聽的話,會發現 "pops you" 這兩個字之間的連結,會有個 "噓" 的音,符合 S+Y的特殊連音
[CHORUS] No I ain't gonna comb my hair 
going to = gonna
Cause I ain't going anywhere
No no no no no no no no nooo
I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhh

Ohh Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh
Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh
Nothing at all
