Пой песни и учи английский : Wham! - Last Christmas

Осталось еще немного подождать до того момента, когда по телевизору начнут показывать «Иронию судьбы» и «Один дома» без остановки. Дома у всех  будет мерцать елка, а на столе будет оливье. Уже можно начинать думать над списком New Year Resolution 2016. А у вас уже есть какие-то интересные планы на 2016? У меня есть! И один из них - это подготовить еще больше песен для рубрики Sing and Learn! Но для воплощения планов в жизнь у меня осталось еще 10 дней, а пока закрываю рубрику в 2015 году очень рождественской песней!

[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 does not 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

И в первой же строке видим last Christmas, что является сигнальным 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 где есть Past Simple, всегда найдется место и для Present Perfect:

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

После такого печального прошлого, герою песни хочется верить в счастливое будущее (Future Simple) и отдать свое сердце в надежные 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)

Это все! До встречи в новом году! Желаю вам хорошо отдохнуть и отпраздновать Новый год и Рождество!
