Yellow – Coldplay
"Yellow" is a song by the British rock band Coldplay. The band wrote the song and co-produced it with British record producer Ken Nelson for their debut album, Parachutes (2000).
“黄色”是英国摇滚乐队酷玩乐队的一首歌曲。乐队创作了这首歌，并与英国唱片制作人Ken Nelson合作制作了他们的首张专辑《降落伞》（2000）。
"Yellow" was written in Rockfield studio in Wales called the Quadrangle, where Coldplay began working on their debut album, Parachutes. One night after finishing recording "Shiver", the band took a break and went out of the studio. Outside, there were few lights on and the stars in the sky were visible and "just amazing", according to the song's co-producer, Ken Nelson. He told the band to look at the stars, which they did. Lead singer Chris Martin was inspired by the sight and the song's main melody, consisting of a chord pattern, popped into his head.
“黄色”的创作是在威尔士的一个叫做“四边形”的洛克菲尔德工作室进行的，在那里，酷玩乐队开始制作他们的首张专辑“降落伞”。一天晚上，在录完“战栗”之后，乐队休息了一会儿并走出了工作室。根据这首歌的联合制作人肯·纳尔逊的说法，室外，几乎没有什么灯光，天空闪烁着星星，一切都“非常美妙”。他让乐队成员们抬头看星星，大家照做了。主唱歌手Chris Martin受场景启发，歌曲的主旋律以及和弦模式的构成，在他的脑海中闪现出来。
While composing the song's lyrics, Martin could not find the right words. He was thinking of a specific word, which he deemed a missing key word in the lyrics, to fit the song's concept. He looked around the studio and saw Stephanie, a friend who happened to be present in the studio at that time. Martin later titled the song "Yellow" as a reference to Stephanie's yellow glow. The lyrics progressed from there with the band collaborating. Bassist Guy Berryman came up with the opening line "Look at the stars". That night, having quickly composed the song, the band recorded it.
在创作歌词时，马丁找不到合适的词语。他正在思索一个特定的词，是他认为歌词中所缺少的关键字，能适合歌曲的概念。他环视了一下工作室，看到了斯蒂芬妮，一位恰巧出现在演播室的朋友。马丁后来把歌曲命名为“黄色”作为参考斯蒂芬妮的黄色光芒的结果。歌词自此开始，乐队通力合作。贝斯手Guy Berrymancame给出了第一句歌词“Look at the stars”。那天晚上，乐队很快就谱写了这首歌并录制了它。
Martin has explained, "'Yellow' refers to the mood of the band. Brightness and hope and devotion." The references in some of the lyrics, including swimming and drawing a line, "are all metaphorical slants on the extent of his emotional devotion". The drawing of a line refers to Martin's habit of writing lists, and underlining those important things on the list. Martin has commented that the song is about devotion, referring to his unrequited love for someone or something. Despite its lyrical theme, many fans have considered "Yellow" to be an upbeat track, although it is often interpreted as melancholy as well.
马丁解释说，“‘黄色’指的是乐队的心情。光明、希望和奉献。”一些歌词中的指代词，包括游泳和画一条线，“都是关于他情感奉献程度的隐喻性偏向。”画一条线是指马丁写列表后给列表上的重要内容下面划线的习惯。马丁评论说这首歌是关于奉献的，指的是他对某人或某物的暗恋。不管它感情丰富的主题，许多歌迷认为“黄色”是一个积极乐观的歌曲，虽然它也往往被解释为忧郁。
Martin went on to further explain that the word "yellow" has absolutely no meaning whatsoever and while writing the rest of the song he tried his best to change "yellow" to something else since every lyric before yellow made no sense but in the end the word "yellow" just sounded right.
马丁进一步解释说，“黄色”这个词没有任何意义，在写歌曲的其余部分时，他尽力将“黄色”改成别的词，因为黄色之前的每个歌词都毫无意义，但最终，“黄色”这个词听起来恰到好处。
"Yellow" played well in Europe, and was popular. In the United Kingdom, its midweek sales suggested that the single would reach the Top 10 of the chart. "Yellow" achieved popularity in the United States, and was Coldplay's first American hit. The single charted on eight different Billboard singles charts;
“黄色”在欧洲表现出色，很受欢迎。在英国，周中的销量表明这首歌将进入排行榜前10位。“黄色”在美国大受欢迎，是酷玩乐队进军美国的第一枪。这首歌进入了公告牌排行榜的8个不同的单曲榜单。
A Chinese cover of "Yellow" became the last song in the 2018 movie, Crazy Rich Asians. Warner Bros. and Coldplay were initially both opposed to using the song, but Director Jon M. Chu convinced them otherwise, adding that "a white director couldn't do it," but he could. Coldplay was convinced after Chu wrote a letter to the band: "For the first time in my life, it described the color in the most beautiful, magical ways ... The color of the stars, her skin, the love. It was an incredible image of attraction and aspiration that made me rethink my own self-image." The letter prompted a response from the band within the hour, giving Chu the go-ahead to use the song.
“黄色”的中文翻唱版本成为2018部电影《疯狂的富豪亚洲人》中的最后一首歌曲。华纳兄弟和酷玩乐队起初都反对使用这首歌，但导演朱棣文说服了他们，并补充说“一个白人导演不能这样做”，但他可以。乐队在收到朱导写给他们的信后被说服：“这是我人生中第一次，看到用最美丽、最神奇的方式描述颜色……星光的颜色，她的肤色，爱情。这是一个令人难以置信的魅力与渴望的形象，它使我重新思考我的自我形象。“这封信促使乐队在一小时之内作出回应，让朱导就用这首歌。
Yellow Lyrics
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.
I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called "Yellow".
So then I took my turn,
Oh what a thing to have done,
And it was all yellow.
Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into
Something beautiful,
Do you know,
You know I love you so,
You know I love you so.
I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.
'Cause you were all yellow,
I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do,
And it was all yellow.
Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into
Something beautiful,
Do you know,
For you I'd bleed myself dry,
For you I'd bleed myself dry.
It's true,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine.
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And all the things that you do.
