讨人喜欢的外表，抒情流行的曲风，全球炙手可热的男孩偶像团体，自99年成立以来，创下了连续7首冠军单曲的纪录，连老乐队“甲壳虫”（Beatles）也望尘莫及――他们的成绩是骄人的。精心推荐：来自爱尔兰的青春组合“西城男孩”（Westlife）英国排行榜冠军单曲。还有3首算是附赠小菜啦，是西城翻唱过的一些歌曲的原唱，或是歌坛老牌劲旅，或是古典音乐新秀，他们本身的风格和西城的清新是有些出入的，别有一番风味。

1）Flying Without Wings
虽无翅膀，却在飞翔――只有西城男孩（Westlife）才能带给你这样的感动。孩子的脸上、情人的眼中，至深的友谊里、别人的话语间，你都能发现的会让你生命完美的秘密、让你飘飘然的力量――那件“特殊的东西”，是什么？自己听啦――
Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings when you've found that special thing?
You're flying without wings
2）If I Let You Go
If I Let You Go”并不是现实中的离去，而是心底那份怀念萦绕久久、铭刻至深的痕迹：“一天天过去，我无法忘记你在我脑海中留下的身影。”“梦回低语，我自问：为什么就不能忘记你？”――“因为从没有人像你那样知道我的心”……
Day after day, time pass away. And I just can't get you off my mind
Nobody knows, I hide it inside. I keep on searching, but I can't find
The courage to show, to let you know
I've never felt so much love before
3）Swear It Again
从没想说分手，从没想对你坏，因为从不想让你伤心难过流眼泪。“我曾发誓要分享你的喜悦，分担你的痛苦”，“我曾发誓我的爱会留存”，“我愿对你重说一遍”……
I'm never gonna say goodbye 'cause I never wanna see you cry
I swore to you my love would remain and I'd swear it all over again and I
I'm never gonna treat you bad 'cause I never wanna see you sad
I swore to share your joy and your pain
4）My Love
空荡荡的街道，空无一人的房间，也掏空了我的心；一丝伤感萦绕在心头：那些在一起欢唱的日子去哪里了？让美梦许我一个归处――远渡重洋、万水千山之后，在蔚蓝的天空下，在碧绿的原野中，只要能再次见到你的踪影，我魂牵梦萦的爱人……
An empty street, an empty house, a hole inside my heart
I'm all alone and the rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how, I wonder why, I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang
5）Fool Again
面对渐行渐远的恋人，只是在平滑起伏的旋律中透出淡淡的黯然神伤――我以为这次爱将会永远，却不敢相信再一次被愚弄；你从来没有给我太多的机会，让你知道我有多么在意……
Baby I know the story. I've seen the picture
It's written all over your face
Tell me, what's the secret that you've been hiding?
And who's gonna take my place?
6）Seasons In The Sun
本是为了纪念去世的朋友而唱，可温暖的曲调总让人感觉是个行将远行的孩子，正在学着长大，正在学着坚强。儿时的死党、青梅竹马的恋人、威严的父亲都是他成长的见证：虽然共度的时光不再，但每当鸟儿在歌唱、春天弥漫在空气中，每当看到漂亮的女孩、戏耍的顽童，就想想我，想想我们共同拥有的喜悦与欢乐……
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
but the wine and the song
7）Against All Odds
Westlife与Mariah Carey合作翻唱的名曲
下面3首是原唱，被西城学过，本人还是觉得原唱好听，比一比，西城的唱法就显得有点“奶油”了。呵呵，不知大家听着怎么样啦！
1）To Be With You
“坚强些，小女孩，告诉我他对你做了什么。站起来，小女孩，一颗破碎的心就不会那么痛苦。它已经成为往事了，命运会捉弄你们俩。亲爱的，来吧，来吧，让我告诉你：我才是那个想和你在一起的人……”
Hold on little girl! Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl! A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through, fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
2）Desperado
齐秦、藤田惠美、平井坚、西城男孩等等许多歌手都翻唱过这首著名的《亡命之徒》，前者清新，后者流畅，只是都没有老鹰乐队的原唱那样低沉、那样感人至深……
Desperado, oh, you ain't getting no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're driving you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talking
Your prison is walking through
3）You Raise Me Up
一首气势宏大、很有厚度的慢歌，怎么听都不是情歌，该是唱给心中的主听的：一颗疲惫的心，需要指点，需要关怀；于是，当你来临，让我的心充满奇迹；在你的肩膀上，我变得坚强。这是否就是那永恒之光……
You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
