- Kyla La Grange The River 歌詞
- Kyla La Grange
- When I was 10 years old I always needed to be told
小時候總被告知
That I should not be frightened by the fact that we grow old
長大後就不再恐懼現實
But as the days slipped by I felt the pressing need to cry
但日子總在重壓之下流走
And I quickly understood exactly why theyd had to lie
才明白他們為什麼撒謊
In the daylight I could cope, because the sun seemed full of hope
在陽光帶來的希望之下我還可以勉強對付白天
I laughed enough for two grown men and learnt I could tell jokes
笑夠了成人也學會了開玩笑
But sadness has a subtle face and then it came to gloat
但悲傷卻在幸災樂禍中隱現
We heard about the girl and boy hung by their skipping rope
男女因感情羈絆在一起
Isnt it too hard to conceive
這豈不是很難想像
Doesnt it bring you to your knees?
難道沒有帶來過失望嗎
And all I want to do
我只想
is to float with the river so free.
隨著河流自由漂泊
Now, fear is not a gentle thing although it has no fists
恐懼總是冷峻地與你對峙
It crawls down from your thoughts and ties you by your skinny wrists
它佔據你的思想、縛住你孱弱的身軀
Death will take your lips from you so that you cannot kiss
死亡奪走你的朱唇讓你不能親吻
But fear will leave you screaming out for all the love youll miss
恐懼則讓你嘶喊出心中所愛
And I had a friend who thought he knew exactly where he stood
我一朋友自認為知道他在哪
A place in heavens safe for him as long as he did good
只要表現卓著便獲得如天堂般的安寧
But life and love ran through his veins and opened up his mind
但生活與愛穿透他的血脈扯碎他的思緒
Now hes got his gun but a new terror sings at night
他拿起武器新的恐懼卻悄然升起
Isnt it too hard to conceive
難以想像
Doesnt it bring you to your knees
他帶來的失望
And all I wantto do is to float with the river so free
而我只想隨河流自由漂泊
And Larkin is the master in this poetry of fear
拉金是恐懼詩詞的大師
But he could never capture what cried darkly in his ears
卻從未捕獲音樂深處的哀痛
And he would understand that though I wrote these words to sing
他能理解我的歌唱
These petty verses cannot hope to tell you anything
這些小詩韻不會給你帶來什麼
Isnt it too hard to conceive
難以想像
Doesnt it bring you to your knees
他帶來的失望
And all I want to do is to float with the river so free
而我只想隨河流自由漂泊
So everyday Ill stop these thoughts before theyll take a hold
我想停止這些想法並掌控他們
Lying in my bed pretending that I wont grow old
賴在床上假裝永遠不會長大
And maybe when Im 84 Ill sit and sing this song
等我老去我仍會哼唱這首歌
Just hope that if I do then this fear is dead and gone
只望那時恐懼已遠去
Isnt it too hard to conceive
難以想像
Doesnt it bring you to your knees
他帶來的失望
And all I want to do is to float with the river so free
而我只想隨河流自由漂泊
And all I want to do is to float with the river so free
隨河流自由漂泊
Isnt it too hard to conceive
難以想像
Doesnt it bring you to your knees
他帶來的失望
Is to float with the river so free
而我只想隨河流自由漂泊
Is to float with the river so free
隨河流自由漂泊
