Hello, this is Crown
Today I'm going to talk about Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop the Feeling!
Welcome to Crown's new series. In this series I will guide you learn English through songs
Today's song is Justin Timberlake's new single:
Can't Stop the Feeling!
This song is recorded by Justin for the movie
"Trolls", which will be released this October.
You can see other voice actors and actresses of the movie In the first released MV
such as Anna Kendrick and Gwen Stefani
I'm gonna explain and analyze some lyrics
So let's take a look at some lyrics in the song!
I got this feeling inside my bones
It goes electric, wavey when I turn it on
This line can be translated into: 我的骨子裡有一種感覺
"Have a feeling in my bones" in this song is more like
He has a magical feeling inside his body that makes him want to dance
However, the original meaning of "feel it in my bones" is different
It's being said when you believe that something will happen for no reason
Like, when I'm sure that this episode is going to be very popular, I could say
I'm sure everybody's gonna love this episode. I feel it in my bones!（I feel it!~）
This line can be translated into: 當我把他開啟後， 他就如同電流一般的開始到處流竄
wave(y)'s meaning is: wave dance
Wave is like tidal wave, so it's like a wavey movement
The "turn on" in this line means "開啟、打開"
Other than that meaning, it can also be used as
turn me on or turn sb. on, which means, to arouse someone. He he he
I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good song in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops, ooh
This line can be translated into: 我的口袋裝滿了陽光，我的雙腳隨著歌曲起舞
Many of you may recognize "sunshine in my pocket"
in the song Pocketfull of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield
.....
Or actually none of you know this song (that's right) Oops, accidentally revealed my age lol
Sunshine is 「陽光」. To us
sunshine usually implicates the meaning wonderful, full of hope, and a brand new start
So when he says he got that sunshine in his pocket, it means he is filled with hope and joy
I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
You gon' like the way we rock it, so don't stop
This line can be translated into: 我的舞姿如此絢麗驚人，讓我看得目不轉睛
The "I can't take my eyes up off it" here is actually a combination of two sentences
One is "I can't take my eyes up", the other one is "I can't take my eyes off it"
"I can't take my eyes up" means not able to look directly into it
and "I can't take my eyes off it" means you can't help noticing it
Then "moving so phenomenally", the adjective form of "phenomenally" is "phenomenal"
which means outstanding and awesome
The syllables match the rhythm so well!
Moving so phenomenally
Moving so phenomenally, so phenomenally
Moving so phenomenally, so phenomenally, so phenomenally!!!~~~
Don't need no reason, don't need control
I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone
This line can be translated into: 我不需要理性，更不需要克制
"I don't need no reason, don't need control" means he doesn't want to be restrained at all
can do whatever he wants and dance
Because he says he doesn't need control
so I think the "don't need no reason" here is more like "don't need to be rational"
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
This line can be translated into: 當你迎風起舞時，我的眼中只看得見你
"Nothing I can see" is the inversion of "I can see nothing"
and "but you" means except for you, which means I can't see anything except for you
We can create a romantic sentence by combining the last line
I can see nothing else but you for you are so beautiful
and I never wish to take my eyes off you
This line can be translated into: 那美好的感覺，蔓延全身
"Feeling good" simply means feeling great and fantastic
"creep up" might be a little bit less common for you guys
The "creeping up on" here has a positive meaning
Since it comes after "feeling good"
Therefore it means the good feeling is gradually spreading in your body
However, when we see the word "creep", it usually gives us negative impressions
Creep as a noun can be used as a swearing term, which means a "weirdo"
The phrase "give someone the creeps" means to make someone scared or nervous
But "creep up on" here means "gradually happening" instead
