Bic Runga- She Left on a Monday
這是我第二次介紹碧可羅嘉的歌曲。第一首是WhenI see your smile,是首簡短動聽的情歌。而這次介紹的歌曲曲風有點類似,但歌詞從戀愛變成感情生變,催促做錯事的男方快點去挽留女孩的情境。這個啊,感情事還不要多說的好,我們還是把重點放在美好的曲調上吧。反正這些歌詞有些我也翻不出來,就算了。
碧可羅嘉我有她兩張專輯和一張精選集,屬於我很喜愛的歌手。但我一直想入手一張她和基督城交響樂團合作的一張現場演唱專輯卻遲遲無法如願。這張專輯一些曲目的MP3版本我聽過感覺很棒,臨場感和管弦樂團的搭配都恰到好處。應是一張很不錯的CD發燒片。但在露天拍賣看到唯一的一個商品想下訂卻因為賣家被停權而飲恨。或許改天再去誠品或法雅客問問是否能夠找到好了。這種時候就覺得應該要學會如何在亞馬遜購買才是王道。只不過我不懂為何一張全新的CD要價85美元,這會不會太坑錢?但要是能買到應該還是會灑吧….
話說裡頭有句歌詞我還挺愛的,就是what's the use of having pride if you don't have her。這跟優客李林的輸了你贏了世界又如何有異曲同工之妙啊。
一首很適合在星期日慵懶早晨播放的歌曲,唯一傷感的是我要值班而已…XD
(不知有誰能將歌詞翻譯的好些?)
She left on a Monday
She's a siren down the road
In your herringbone overcoat
That you don't expect to get back
And it's an ordinary sky
Today's like any other day
When all of the aeroplanes
Write her name in the clouds
And nothing's wrong
But it's already Sunday
And you know just how Sunday
Was the day that she would come around?
Go to her foolish man
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
She'll endure all she can
But you could make this easier on her
It's all like sinking
You're trying to stay afloat
Like a wind blown paperboat
Over uncharted sea
There's no question why
You're driving to kill some time
Racing the power lines
Back into town
Go to her foolish man
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
She'll endure all she can
But you could make this easier on her
Go to her foolish man
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
She'll endure all she can
But you could make this easier on her
Make this easier on her
Make this easier on her
Make this easier on her
