【推荐】经典分手情歌 A dear John letter (很难找)
A Dear John Letter 这首歌据说是源自一段真实的故事。女孩因为男友在海军服役，被分派至海外驻守，在时空阻隔之下，女孩爱上另一位男孩，而原先的男友一直被蒙在鼓里，等到他看到这封信，女友早已琵琶别抱，生米煮成熟饭。
这个故事，使得A dear John letter成为「绝交信」的代名词，比较齐全的英汉字典中可以查到相关的说明。如果有女孩说：I'm gonna write a dear John letter.意思是说她准备要写封信和男友分手。
在 A dear John letter 里还有另一个涵意哦！那个女孩其实是嫁给了男主角的哥哥，就是那个旁白的最后一句里说的~Tonight I wed your bother─Dear John.也就是说她的确是嫁给她的Dear John，只不过是Big John-男主角的哥哥而已，所以Tonight I wed another Dear John ,也可以翻成─今晚我嫁给我另一个亲爱的约翰。
从第二次世界大战起，在纯美式英语的俗谚里，"A Dear John Letter"的意思就是情侣要求分手的绝情书，特别是指女生写给男生的分手信。当然若是男生写给女生的分手信，可能就会变成"A Dear Mary Letter"。有些市面上的歌本把它译成「约翰的情书」，歌曲的内容其实大异其趣。在歌曲中的女声Skeeter Davis反复地唱着那一段短短但要求分手的歌词「亲爱的约翰，我真不愿意写这封信；亲爱的约翰，今晚我一定要让你知道，我对你的爱已成过去，我们没办法再继续下去，因为，今晚我就要和别人结婚了……」。而男声Bobby Bare则哀怨地以口白诉说着男主角悲惨的遭遇：「我在海外战场，收到了邮差交给我的一封信，当时我真是快乐无比，因为战争刚结束……」这真是情何以堪。
Dear John Letter 绝交信范例一
Dear John Letter
Dear John,
I have been seriously looking back upon our relationship and getting very clear on what I need and desire out of a relationship.
The conclusion I have come to is that we are too different in both our personality and our desired lifestyles to be able to successfully live together with joy, bliss, good communication, and interaction.
This is not about you or about me "winning or losing", or about one of us being wrong -- it is about two ways of being... which do not fulfill each other, or go together. Though I had been open to having you visit with the thought that possibly we could 'try' again, after thinking about it a lot, I realize that it is not a good idea. I am very clear that we are not the 'right' people for each other at this time in our lives.
Please forgive yourself, and me, for any 'mistakes' we made along the way... and remember that we both have grown immensely through being together... but the time has come to move on.
So basically what I am saying is that I would like to 'cancel' my invitation for you to visit. I feel at this time, that I need to move on with my life, and having you come and visit would not serve any positive purpose. You need to accept that this relationship is over and open yourself up to receiving the blessings of the universe...
I think we both need to let go of the past, be grateful for what we had for a time, learn from our experiences, and move on from there.
Dearest John, we have been through a lot together... I have a learned a lot about myself, as you have learnt a lot about yourself. At this point, we are both ready to graduate to the next level in a relationship...What we have learned, whether while we were together, or whether after, through looking back on how we 'operated' together, will serve us in our future relationships.
It has been my experience, that all relationships that end are simply opening the door to another level of joy, and a better relationship built on what we have learnt in the past. So I know and trust that there is someone out there who will support you in your growth while loving you exactly the way you are... which is something that we were not doing for each other. I constantly judged and criticized you, in the same manner that you judged and criticized me... Out there is the perfect person for you that will love you and not find a single thing to criticize about you in the same way that you will not find a single thing to criticize about them... You will accept her as she is, even while seeing that she is not "perfect".
Do not see this as losing something, but rather as having gained knowledge and wisdom... Everything that you learned from us being together, as well as from us being separated, you will be able to put in practice in your next relationship to avoid the traps that we got into.
EVERYTHING ALWAYS WORKS OUT FOR THE BEST, and this is no exception. Trust in yourself, trust in the Universe, trust in the power of Love that rules our lives. Please don’t get into feeling sorry for yourself and wanting to 'end it all'. Rather, thank God for the learning experience, and ask for the openness to recognize the blessings in your life. They are there... open yourself up to being you, accepting yourself completely without judgment, and loving yourself unconditionally.
I wish you joy, I wish you happiness, I wish you heaven on earth. Please trust in yourself and the Universe enough to take some deep breaths, and start looking to find and create joy in your life. It is there... simply step out and claim it.
Blessings to you... Be the light!
歌词： A dear John letter
Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare
*Dear John
Oh! how I hate to write
Dear John
I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has gone
There's no reason to go on
And tonight I wed another
Dear John*
<spoken>
I was overseas in battle
When the postman came to me
He handed me a letter
And I was as happy as I could be
Cause the fighting was all over
And the battles they'd all be won
But then I opened up that letter
And it stated Dear John(*)
I was overseas in battle
When the postman came to me
He handed me a letter
Won't you please send back my picture
My hu*****and wants it now
给约翰的一封信 史琪特戴维丝
亲爱的约翰
噢！我真不愿意写这封信
亲爱的约翰
今晚，我得让你明白
我对你的爱已消逝
没有理由再继续下去
今晚，我已嫁给了别人
亲爱的约翰
<口白>
我在海外作战
当邮差向我走来
他交给我一封信
我高兴极了
因为战争已经结束
所有战役都获得了胜利
但是当我打开这封信
它的开头是：亲爱的约翰───
我在海外作战
当邮差向我走来
他交给我一封信
"你何不把我的相片寄回来，
我的丈夫现在就要"
