【歌詞翻譯】Taylor Swift - Forever Winter 永恆寒冬 (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault]｜完整歌曲介紹與中英歌詞｜Taylor寫給早逝高中友人
Taylor Swift 泰勒絲於2021年11月12日推出《Red紅色》重錄版專輯，《Red》是泰勒絲第4張錄音室專輯，也是泰勒絲由鄉村音樂轉型成流行音樂的一個重要的轉捩點，是賈斯珀的西洋音樂啟蒙專輯，也是賈斯珀最喜歡的專輯之一，不曉得重複播放多少遍，陪伴無數個準備學測的高中苦讀時光。

Taylor Swift - All Too Well (10 Minute Version) ｜遲到十年，寫給歌迷的私密情書
賈斯珀能從歌詞的字裡行間感受到Taylor的不捨與懊悔，也能看到Taylor傾訴自己對好友的關心，以及深怕對方想不開的擔憂之情。這首歌也讓賈斯珀聯想到謝震廷的〈燈光〉，震廷想做自殺友人的溫暖燈光、Taylor想成為心疾友人的太陽，兩者都讓人感到深刻的哀慟。

Taylor Swift - Forever Winter (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault]
[Verse 1]
He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days
他說現在的日子，眼見已無法為憑
He says, "Why fall in love, just so you can watch it go away?"
他說：「為什麼要墜入愛河，再看著愛消失殆盡？」
He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be
他揮霍大部分的夜晚，祈求事情能回復原狀
He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity
他耗費大部分的航班，好被重力拉著腳踏實地
[Pre-Chorus]
I call, just checking up on him
我撥了電話，為了確認他好不好
He's up, 3 AM, pacing
他還沒睡，三更半夜，來回踱步
He says, "It's not just a phase I'm in"
他說：「我並非只是處於某個疾病階段」
My voice comes out begging
我的聲音轉為懇求
[Chorus]
All this time I didn't know
我一直都不知道
You were breaking down
你曾精神崩潰
I'd fall to pieces on the floor
我會原地瓦解
If you weren't around
如果你不在身旁
Too young to know it gets better
太過年輕，以至於不理解一切會雨過天晴
I'll be summer sun for you forever
我會成為你永遠的艷夏陽光
Forever winter if you go
但你走後，徒留永恆寒冬
[Verse 2]
He seems fine most of the time
大部分的時候他看起來都很好
Forcing smiles and never minds
強顏歡笑、永不介意
His laugh is a symphony
他的笑聲宛如交響樂
When the lights go out, it's hard to breathe
燈光暗去，變得難以呼吸
I pull at every thread trying to solve the puzzles in his head
我竭盡全力解開他腦海中的拼圖
Live my life scared to death he'll decide to leave instead
用力活著，深怕他會走上絕路
[Pre-Chorus]
I call, just checking up on him
我撥了電話，為了確認他好不好
He's up, 5 AM, wasted
他還醒著，凌晨五點，爛醉如泥
Long gone, not even listening
神智不清，甚至話都聽不進去
My voice comes out screaming
我的聲音轉為吶喊
[Chorus]
All this time I didn't know
我一直都不知道
You were breaking down
你曾精神崩潰
I'd fall to pieces on the floor
我會原地瓦解
If you weren't around
如果你不在身旁
Too young to know it gets better
太過年輕，以至於不理解一切會雨過天晴
I'll be summer sun for you forever
我會成為你永遠的艷夏陽光
Forever winter if you go
但你走後，徒留永恆寒冬
[Bridge]
If I was standing there in your apartment
如果可以出現在你的公寓
I'd take that bomb in your head and disarm it
我會拆除你腦中的炸彈
I'd say I love you even at your darkest and
即使在你最黑暗的時刻我也會說愛你
Please don't go
拜託不要就此離去
[Chorus]
I didn't know
我不知道
You were breaking down
你曾精神崩潰
I'd fall to pieces on the floor
我會原地瓦解
If you weren't around
如果你不在身旁
Too young to know it gets better
太過年輕，以至於不理解一切會雨過天晴
I'll be summer sun for you forever
我會成為你永遠的艷夏陽光
Forever winter if you go
但你走後，徒留永恆寒冬
[Post-Chorus]
I'll be your summer sun forever
我會成為你永遠的艷夏陽光
At 3 AM, pacing
三更半夜，來回踱步
All this time I didn't know
我一直都不知道
At 5 AM, wasted
凌晨五點，爛醉如泥
I'd be in pieces on the floor
我會原地瓦解
Forever winter if you go
你走後，徒留永恆寒冬
[Outro]
He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days
他說現在的日子，眼見已無法為憑
I say, "Believe in one thing, I won't go away"
我說：「相信一件事就好：我不會離你而去。」
