오늘은 아주 감미롭고 사랑스러운 팝송을 소개해 드립니다^^


특히 여성의 마음을 사로잡을 미소년 목소리이니 잘 들어보세요^^


Before You Exit 라는 그룹의 노래 Settle for less 입니다.


내용이 우선 사랑노래인듯 하면서도 인생에 대한 교훈에 관해서도 이야기하는듯 합니다.


쉽고 귀에 착착 감기니 부담없이 들어보셔도 될듯합니다^^

Everybody deserves somebody,
But, girl, nobody can love you like I do.

You could be a super model,
President or write a novel.
But he’s holding you back
And you’re better than that.
He won’t even buy you flowers,
Stay up late and talk for hours.
I think I can do that
I can be better than that.
You should know…

Everybody deserves somebody,
But, girl, nobody can love you like I do.
And I’m not perfect but you’re so worth it.
I wanna change the world for you,
So baby don’t settle for less.
You deserve the best,
You’re better than the rest
And I can be the best,
So baby don't settle for less.

I’ve been watching from the sidelines
His mistakes become my guidelines.
'Cause he’s holding you back
And you’re better than that.
I will love to buy you flowers,
Take the time to talk for hours.
Yeah I can do that.
I can be better than that.
You should know…

Everybody deserves somebody,
But, girl, nobody can love you like I do.
And I’m not perfect but you’re so worth it.
I wanna change the world for you,
So baby don’t settle for less.
You deserve the best,
You’re better than the rest
And I can be the best,
So baby don’t settle for less.
You deserve the best,
You’re better than the rest
And I can be the best,
So baby don’t settle for less.

He takes you for granted,
Girl, I can’t stand it.
Watching you panic over him.
See he’s just a nobody
I can be somebody,
Someone to love til’ the end.

'Cause everybody deserves somebody,
But, girl, nobody can love you like I do.
And I’m not perfect but you’re so worth it.
I wanna change the world for you
So baby don’t settle for less.
You deserve the best,
You’re better than the rest
And I can be the best
So baby don’t settle for less.
You deserve the best,
You’re better than the rest
And I can be the best
So baby don’t settle for less.



우선 settle for less 라는 의미는 

사랑에 관해서는 사랑을 받을만 한데 못받는데도 불구하고 결혼하거나 사귀는 것을 말할 수 있을 것이고

인생이야기에서는 자신의 가치보다 낮게 대우 받거나 자신의 가치는 사실 더 높다 라는 뜻이군요.


나머지는 다 쉬운데 takes you for granted

이녀석이 무슨의미인지 찾아보니

to underestimate the value of that person or thing

그러니까 쉽게 말해 업신여기거나 가볍게 본다는 뜻 정도 이군요^^

제목과도 상통합니다.

"take [someone, something] for granted" means to underestimate the value of that person or thing. In other words, to expect someone or something to be always available (such as to serve us without us needing to give recognition or thanks). In short, to give little or no value to that person or thing because we think we automatically deserve it.


즐감하세요^^
