Counting Stars

没错，我是在面子书得知今年小学五年级的阿布参加歌唱比赛得冠军。问题是，阿布会唱歌咩？（纳闷）

直到今天端午节，宝石姐 “下令” 回娘家吃饭才有机会亲自问当事人。身为姨姨好奇他唱什么歌得冠军，然后叫他现场唱两句来听听，结果小朋友没好气回答： 『 OneRepublic 的 Counting Stars 咯。 』

『 噢，原来是英文歌唱比赛。』 心想数星星应该是儿歌吧？然后没放弃，继续叫阿布献唱两句。

阿布依然没唱，而且觉得姨姨很烦，他说不一定要唱英文歌的，华语和国语也是可以。只不过很多参赛同学选唱 Let it Go，大家听到很闷而已。（笑）

后来才知道原来现在的华小举办歌唱比赛已没有三语之分了 （国语，华语，英语），老师说只要选的流行歌曲没涉及到爱情是 okay 的。

等一下！老师不但让学生自己选歌参赛，而且还可以选流行歌曲？？？

三语混合的歌唱比赛还分个人和组合赛。组合最少要有两位成员，最多四位。

我问小朋友为什么选这首歌参赛？因为他们只听流行歌曲，应该不会去了解歌词的含义。结果他又一贯地懒洋洋回答： 『 因为我们三个人 （原来是三人组合） 觉得现在的人只顾着数钞票，不懂得数星星了，觉得很有意思，所以就决定唱这首歌咯。』

最后还要多加一句： 『 姨姨，Counting Stars 这首歌很红的，妳不知道哦？』

天啊～ 梁家妇女以为是 Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars 的最新版！

然后，我知道 Big Bang 已经过时了，现在韩国最高人气组合叫 Exo 哦？够力，人妻只懂什么是 xo 酒和 xoxo 代表亲亲和抱抱的意思。

真没想到现在的华小这么开明，不像以前那么死板又墨守成规了，好事来的。



Chorus
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

Verse 1
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find

* Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Chorus
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Verse 2:
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Chorus:
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Oh, oh, oh.

Bridge 4x:
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Chorus:
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Outro 4x:
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

* 留意歌词。希望长大后的阿布依然记得小学五年级参加歌唱比赛组合赛得冠军的数星星。
