语言历来被称为思维和文化的载体，一个民族和国家的思维方式和影响力无不嵌于其语言之中，并以其独特的语言魅力影响其他语言和文化。如“天行健，君子以自强不息”，“to be or not to be, it’s a question.”（生还是死，这是个问题——莎斯比亚）。正是如此，各个语言的美常令人回味无穷，历久弥新；而被谱于优美旋律的歌词则是语言之美的典范，对于英文而言，英文老歌更是涵义悠远，历经岁月无情淘洗而依然金光闪闪，时而深情，时而俏皮，时而发人深省，蕴含英文无限之美。
英文歌词之美一般显现在韵美、形美和意美，或是两者和三者之融合。
韵美是歌词的押韵和韵律使其朗朗上口，韵味绵绵，犹如“你的泪光柔弱中带伤”般令人情不自禁低声饮唱，余音绕梁。现在请低声饮唱体悟这异样的美吧。When I saw you standing there, I’bout fell out my chair. And when you moved your mouth to speak, I felt the flood go to my feet.——I’d love you to want you . Rose, rose, I love you with an aching heart ,what is your future now we have to part？——Rose, rose , I love you .Only you can make this world seem right ,only you can make the darkneess bright.——Only you.
形美表現在歌词句子结构工整，简洁明了，过目难忘，回味无穷。当你研读下面这些句子时，英文之美就会印在脑海中，挥之不去。Seven lonely days make one lonely week. seven lonely nights make one lonely me.—— Seven lonely days. Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words . Killing me softly with his song.——Killing me softly with his song . I can feel the morning sunlight. Ican smell the new born bay. I can hear God’s voice calling from my golden sky-light way.——Paloma Blanca .
意美是指歌词情景交融，寓情于景，描景涵情或富含哲理，隽永发聩，启迪心智。Almost heaven, West Virginia—Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River, life is old there , older than the tree, younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze.——Take me home ,country road.（西弗吉尼亚，几乎就像天堂一样——在那里能看到蓝岭及雪兰多河。那里生活源远流长，比大树悠久，比高山年少，如微风渐进。——乡村路带我回家.）
Beneath its snowy mantle cold and clean ,the unborn grass lies waiting for its coats to turn to green.——Snowbird.（在清冷的白雪覆盖下，尚未长出的青草儿正等着新绿的外衣。——雪鸟）。
how many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand? How many years must a mountain exit before it is washed to the sea? How many times can a man turn his head ,and pretend that he does’t see？ How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky ? How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry？——Blowing in the wind.
品味了这些美妙的英文之后，定有享受之感。因此，当你下次聆听英文老歌的时候，一定要尽情感受歌词之美。
