一开始在keffy推荐下听这首歌的时候,只是被BA狂放不羁的“Aha~”吸引;在看mv的时候,心里其实有点鄙视一句一句解释歌词的拍法过于写实;过了几年又重听这首歌,听歌软件自动同步了歌词,才意识到他到底在唱什么,才明白什么叫做生活就是摇篮曲。
这首歌的歌词在网上翻译有很多,因为它居然可以用中文一句一句直翻也不觉得生硬。为尝夙愿,自己试着翻译一下
Everything Will Flow
Suede
Watch the early morning sun, 旭日初升
drip like blood from the day, 朝晖如血
See the busy people run, 江湖人苦
so many games to play 游戏场场殷勤顾
See the blue suburban dream, 凌空引擎声呼啸
under the jet plane sky, 田园梦里南山寂
Sleep away and dream a dream 不如睡去赴南柯
Life is just a lullaby 摇篮曲里浮生寄
Ahh, and everything will flow 叹逝者如斯
Ahh, you know everything will flow 万事东流水
Ahh…
Watch the day begin again,金乌西坠
Whispering into the night,玉兔东升
See the pretty people play,秉烛夜游
Hurrying under the light,笙歌阵阵隐高楼
A million cars, a million trains, 凌空引擎声呼啸
Under the jet plane sky 行行车马千万计
Nothing lost and nothing gained 道也无失亦无得
Life is just a lullaby 摇篮曲里浮生寄
Ahh, and everything will flow 叹逝者如斯
Ahh, I said everything will flow万事东流水
Ahh, you know everything will flow
Ahh…
Ahh, and everything will flow
Ahh, you know everything will flow
The neon lights in the night tonight 你看霓虹灯彩,琉璃易碎
will say “everything will flow”
The stars that shine in the open sky 昨夜星辰,白昼无踪
will say “everything will flow”
The lovers kissed with an openness 比翼连理,终埋黄土
will say “everything will flow”
The cars parked in the hypermarket 唯有堂前车马,惯看过往来去
know “everything will flow” 也只道逝者如斯夫,万事东流水
最近一直把keane《everybody’s changing 》把当成起床闹钟,因为突然感同身受。
You say you wander your own land 其实我知道你做不到
But when I think about it I don’t see how you can 画地为牢
You’re aching, you’re breaking 你的痛苦,你的崩溃
And I can see the pain in your eyes 就藏在你的眼睛里
Says everybody’s changing and I don’t know why 在诉说每个人都在变化而我不知道为什么
So little time 我几乎来不及
Try to understand that I’m 意识到
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game 仅仅只是为了留在游戏中,才驱动自己的肢体
I’m trying to stay awake and remember my name 保持清醒,只是为了记住自己的名字
But everybody’s changing and I don’t feel the same 每个人都在改变,而我却不是其中任一
也许不应该太悲观吧,尽管一切都会流走,尽管everybody’s changing but I don’t feel the same,也要记得take what you need and be on your way , and don’t cry your heart out.
