Jesus the Mexican boy
"Jesus the Mexican boy"
由IRON AND WINE演唱
是在無意間發現的
還蠻喜歡這種曲風的
不過呢...不是很懂歌詞要表達的意涵
比較像是作詞者本身的經歷...
藉由和一個墨西哥小男孩的相遇表達出來...
Jesus the Mexican boy
born in a truck on the fourth of July
gave me a card with a lady naked on the back
Barefoot at night on the road
Fireworks blooming above in the sky
I never knew I was given the best one from the deck
He never wanted nothing I remember
Maybe a broken bottle if I had two
Hanging behind his holy even temper
Hiding the more unholy things I do
Jesus the Mexican boy
Gave me a ride on the back of his bike
Out to the fair though I welched on a $5 bet
Drunk on Calliope songs
We met a home-wrecking carnival girl
He's never asked for a favor or the money yet
Jesus the Mexican boy
Born in a truck on the 4th of July
I fell in love with his sister unrepentantly
Fearing he wouldn't approve
We made a lie that was feeble at best
Boarded a train bound for Vegas and married secretly
I never gave him nothing I remember
Maybe a broken bottle if I had to
Hanging behind his holy even temper
Hiding the more unholy things I do
Jesus the Mexican boy
Wearing a long desert trip on his tie
Lo and behold he was standing under the welcome sign
Naked the Judas in me
Fell by the tracks but he lifted me high
Kissing my head like a brother and never asking why
找了一下歌詞大致的翻譯：
翻個大意，如果一字一句的翻那就太拗口了
有些詞真的有點怪
所以將就著看看吧
?
那個叫作jesus的墨西哥男孩（jesus泛指耶穌）?
7月4日出生在一輛卡車上
他給了我一張牌（應該是塔羅牌）
牌上的女神背後赤裸，在黑夜里赤著雙腳站在馬路上
頭頂上卻煙火璀璨
的我一直不知道，原來他給我的那張卡是整副牌中最好的
我記得那個男孩沒求什麼回報
他的包容
掩蓋了我所有的罪過
那個叫作jesus的墨西哥男孩
用他的摩托車載我到遊樂場
但我卻握著￥5不肯給?
calliope的歌曲讓我陶醉
我跟jesus遇到一個不祥的嘉年華會女孩?
jesus從沒要求任何回報
那個叫作jesus的墨西哥男孩?
7月4日出生在一輛卡車上
我義無返顧的愛上他的妹妹（或姐姐，老外都叫sister）
我怕他不同意我們相愛
所以我們撒了一個很爛的謊
偷偷搭著火車到拉斯維加斯結婚
那個叫作jesus的墨西哥男孩
風塵僕僕地從沙漠走來
在我們到的時候，他正等待著我們
背叛了他的信任的我（judas在聖經裡面是出賣耶穌的猶太人）
跪在軌道旁懺悔
他卻沒有追究，反而扶起我，像哥哥般親吻我的額頭
鄉村風<br />特別是福音歌曲<br />我曾經也很愛<br />之前常用雲斗絲米地亞聽專類線上廣播<br /><br />雖然很愛聽<br />但我對基督教有某些偏見<br /><br />基本上基督教的神太恐怖了<br />超級容易生氣<br />還喜歡用莫名其妙的方式試驗他的信徒<br />所以相對來說<br />耶穌就變成了宇宙無敵超級大好人<br /><br />說實話<br />我比較喜歡釋迦牟尼佛跟與耶穌性質相近的幾位菩薩<br />至少我還沒聽過哪個人因為得罪佛陀被責罰的
還好有中文翻譯。<br /><br />英文真是數不清的罩門裡的其中一個啊。<br /><br />這是佈道歌曲嗎？<br />好像也可以來個替換語詞之類的。<br />林居士應該也會喜歡。
得罪佛陀<br />通常是已經做了一堆壞事<br />不用懲罰就會有還不完的惡果呵...
