이번주 강의 ― 팝송영어 : Billie Jean [Michael Jackson]

[조국현]

팝송 강의를 하면서 팝의 황제인 마이클 잭슨의 노래를 빼놓을 수는 없겠죠.

그리고, 영화 "마이클"이 개봉되어서

이번 주에는 그의 노래로 영어훈련하겠습니다.

왜, Billie Jean이 팝의 역사를 바꾸었고,

왜 하필 Billie Jean이라는 이름을 만들었는지

저와 감상하시죠.

Billie Jean (1983) ― Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

1.

(Doh!) She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said "Don't mind, butwhatdo you mean I am the one

who will dance on the floor in the round?"

She said "I am the one

who will dance on the floor in the round"

She told me her name was Billie Jean,

as she caused a scene

Then every head turned with eyes

that dreamed of bein' the one

who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me

"Be careful of what you do and don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts"

And Mother always told me

"(ah) Be careful of who you love and be careful of what you do

(ah) 'cause the lie becomes the truth" (he, he, he)

(Doh!)Billie Jean's not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

2.

For forty days and forty nights

the law was on her side

But who can stand when she's in demand?

Her schemes and plans

'cause we danced on the floor in the round

So take my strong advice:

just remember to always think twice (Do think twice!) Do think twice!

She told my baby we'd danced 'till three

And she looked at me

then showed a photo of a baby cryin'

His eyes looked like mine

'cause we danced on the floor in the round

(ah) People always told me

"Be careful of what you do and don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts"

(ah) But she came and stood right by me

(ah) Just the smell of sweet perfume

(ah) This happened much too soon

(ah) She called me to her room (he, he, he)

(Doh!) Billie Jean's not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one, but the kid is not my son(No, no, no, no .....)

(Doh!) Billie Jean's not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one, but the kid is not my son(No, no)

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

(Hee! Hoo!)

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

(Doh!) Billie Jean's not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

(She says I am the one) You know what you did

(She says he is my son) Breakin' my heart, babe?

(She says I am the one)

(Doh!) Billie Jean's not my lover .............
