Sing and Learn: Wham! - Last Christmas

Лишилося ще трошки почекати до того моменту, коли по телевізору почнуть показувати «Іронію долі» та «Сам удома» без зупинки. Вдома у всіх мерехтітиме ялинка, а на столі буде Олів’є. Вже можна починати думати над списком New Year Resolution 2016. А чи є у вас вже якісь цікаві плани на 2016? У мене є! І один з них – це підготувати ще більше пісень для рубрики Sing and Learn! Але для втілення планів у життя у мене лишилося ще 10 днів, а поки закриваю рубрику у 2015 році дуже різдвяною піснею!

[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

[Chorus]

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year,
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
Special, someone, someone
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special

Who'll give me something in return
I'll give it to someone, hold my heart and watch it burn

I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I thought you were here to stay
How can love be for a day?
I thought you were someone special, gave you my heart

I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
You gave it away
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone

Grammar
І у першому ж рядку бачимо last Christmas, що є сигнальним словом для Past Simple:

• Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
• But the very next day, you gave it away
• I wrapped it up and sent it
• A man undercover but you tore him apart
• I thought you were here to stay
• I thought you were someone special, gave you my heart

Там де є Past Simple, завжди знайдеться місце і для Present Perfect:

• Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
• Now I know what a fool I've been

Після такого сумного минулого, герою пісні хочеться вірити у щасливе майбутнє (Future Simple) і віддати своє серце в надійні руки:

• I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
• Who'll give me something in return

Vocabulary:

• Catch sb’s eye – to be attractive or different enough to be noticed by people (It was the colour of his hair that caught my eye.)
• Wrap up – to cover something or someone with paper, cloth, etc (I need to wrap a present for my mother)
• Tear smb apart – to make someone very unhappy (Our teacher tore us apart when gave us such a lot of homework) 

Це все! До зустрічі у новому році! Бажаю вам гарно відпочити та відсвяткувати Новий рік і Різдво!
