是向前走还是继续等......
这两句歌词是不是很熟悉?有多少小伙伴看到就不自觉的跟着唱了起来?谁又能想到,这首抖音爆款歌曲的词作者是一位美国小姐姐?
还没听过的小伙伴们,戳下方视频先来感受一下~
怎么样?有没有觉得很好听?
这位小姐姐名叫Christine Welch,不仅人美歌甜,还能用这么溜的中文写歌,也是很厉害了。
就在最近,Christine还接受了BBC的采访,讲述了这首中文作品背后的心路历程~
BBC:Christine Welch:美国人写的中文歌如何在中国爆火?
BBC报道中称,来自美国新墨西哥州的女孩Christine Welch从几年前就开始自己作词、演唱中文歌,直到她的歌曲《一百万个可能》爆火,成了她的突破之作。
Christine Welch has been writing and singing in Mandarin Chinese for years, but got her big break when her song A Million Possibilities went viral.
Christine在采访中表示,她自大学时开始学中文,毕业后搬去了台湾。从那时起,她深深爱上了中国音乐,并开始写歌,然后发布在油管上。
I started learning Chinese at Northwestern University. So after I graduated, I moved to Taiwan. Since at that time I was just really getting into Chinese music, I started writing songs and posting them on Youtube.
《一百万个可能》(A Million Possibilities)这首歌写于2013年,那会儿的她正在思考自己的人生方向,感觉时时刻刻都有太多的可能。而这也成了Christine创作这首歌所想要表达的。
The song was written in 2013. At that time I was trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life really. In every moment there are so many possibilities. That’s the feeling I was trying to convey.
谈到这首歌,Christine表示,歌曲让她想到下雪。午夜回家的路上,一切都那么洁白而安静。
The song itself really reminded me of snow falling. Coming home at midnight, where everything was white and silent.
除了唱歌,小姐姐还经常在脸书上分享自己的日常生活,Po文都是中文的哦~
大概从(去年)8月开始,人们开始在Christine的脸书主页上留言:“有个叫抖音的新APP,上面很多人都喜欢你的歌。”
I think it was around August that some people started coming to my Facebook page and saying ‘Hey, there’s a tonne of people who love your song on this new app called Tik Tok or Douyin in Chinese.’
甚至不少用户还用她的歌曲做视频的背景音乐。
Thousands were using her song as a soundtrack to their videos.
顺带着还成了KTV热门点唱歌曲。
It was also a huge karaoke hit.
小姐姐的中文歌写的这么好,不知道有没有写过英文歌呢?对此,Christine表示:“从未写过英文歌,觉得中文是非常具有诗意的语言。”
I’ve never written a song in English. I just feel that Chinese is a very poetic language.
话说小姐姐写的中文歌词确实很“诗意”呢~
幽静
窗外满地片片寒花
一瞬间
永恒的时差
窝在棉被里
倾听
踏雪听沉默的声音
飘雪藏永恒的身影
……
云空的泪
一如冰凌结晶了
成雪花垂
......
不少小伙伴纷纷表示:小姐姐这中文比我都好……
有人惊叹这首歌居然是歪果仁作词并演唱的↓↓↓
Christine则表示,希望大家能看到她的才华并记住她的名字。
A lot of the video (responses) I see are just like “Oh this foreigner sings in Chinese!” I hope that people will be able to recognise that I’m an individual and be able to know my name.

而对于这首歌的爆火,Christine说,希望继续自己的音乐创作。有很多能唱中文歌的人,我觉得这并不稀奇。希望我的歌词能够打动人,并与之对话。
I hope to keep recording music on my own. I mean, I think there’s a lot of people who can sing in Chinese. I don’t think that’s really all that special. But I hope that my lyrics can really reach people and speak to them.
最后,再送上小姐姐另一首好听的中文歌《寻寻觅觅》,大家感受下↓↓↓
