对Michael Bolton这首世纪情歌的理解，一直都是个难题。
该歌曲的题目为∶“Said I Loved You，But I Lied”，
有人曾译成《说过我爱你，但我骗了你》，
这种字面译法显然无法诠释整首歌的意思，
问题就出在“lie”这个词上，“lie”确实有骗和说谎的意思，
但是仔细琢磨其中的内含就与这种译法面目全非了。
从歌曲中选择两句歌词就会对其含义有所感悟，
如∶“Said I loved you，but I lied，\'Cause this is more than love I feel inside”，
“this”一词显然是指说过我爱你的“爱”，这种爱要比我说出的“我爱你”深刻得多。

Said I Loved You But I Lied

M. Bolton, R.J. Lange

You are the candle; love is the flame,
A fire that burns through wind and rain.
Shine your light on this heart of mine,
Till the end of time.
You came to me like the dawn through the night,
Just shining like the sun.
Out of my dreams and into my life.
You are the one, you are the one.

Said I loved you But I lied.
Cause this is more than love I feel inside.
Said I loved you But I was wrong.
Cause love could never Ever feel so strong.
Said I loved you but I lied.

With all my soul I\'ve tried in vain.
How can mere words my heart explain?
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I\'ve found in you.
So many reasons in so many ways,
My life has just begun.
Need you forever, I need you to stay.
You are the one, you are the one.

Said I loved you But I lied.
Cause this is more than love I feel inside.
Said I loved you But I was wrong.
Cause love could never Ever feel so strong.
Said I loved you but I lied.

You came to me like the dawn through the night.
Just shining like the sun.
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one.

Said I loved you
But this is more than love
I feel inside
Said I loved you but I lied.
