Good evening ,everyone. This is Kelly from the English show only for the top one. Really glad to be with you guys here tonight to enjoy the music. I bet most of you have already recognized the unique voice. Yes, you are right! We have Adele tonight. Speaking of Adele, sometimes I feel like her Rolling in the Deep and Someone like You kind of steal the attention which some of her other songs also deserve. Like the one you can hear now – One and Only.
I dare you to let me be your
your one and only
Promise I'm worthy
To hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
I think those words are so easy to understand that I don’t even have to explain them to you. And there’s only one thing I’d like to talk about. That’s “so come on and give me a chance to prove I am the one who can walk that mile”.
We know mile is a unit of distance on land. But here it is not the physical distance but a metaphor that means the journey of life which we are going to share together.
Soothing and soft the melody may sound, the lyrics show the determination, desire and courage for the love she wants.
So that’s why we have:
If I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name
Will I ever know
As you can hear there’s one sentence which has been repeated again and again at the end, that is I know it ain’t easy giving up your heart.
Maybe you don’t quite understand the giving up part because giving up is supposed to be something like abandoning hope. But actually, give up can also mean devoting entirely to.
Maybe we can put it in this: falling in love with someone else always involves giving up part of yourself. And hope you can find your one and only.
That’s all for today. This Kelly. Good night.
