Irish Drinking Song - Bugger off


歌詞翻譯︰

[A]
well, bugger off, you bastards, bugger off (fuck you)
well, bugger off, you bastards, bugger off (fuck you)
you're like a herd of bloody swine that refuse to leave the trough
you'll get no more this evening so you better bugger off
喂,混蛋,滾開,快滾開(幹)
喂,混蛋,滾開,快滾開(幹)
你們就如髒豬一樣不願離開糧槽
今晚再沒酒給你們所以快給我滾
[/A]

you've been a splendid audience but aye your time has passed
so don't you all be letting that door hit you in the ass
you've been a splendid audience but oh enough is enough
we'd take it very kindly if you'd all just bugger off
你們是最棒的觀眾但可惜時間到了
離開時小心不要被門板打到屁股了
你們是最讚的觀察但今晚到此為止
你們快點滾蛋我們才能開始清潔啊

[A]

Here's to all the batenders and waitresses who've been servin you your beers,
and puttin up with your noxious breath and your stupid drunken leers.
so leave your money on the table when you go,
tomorrow you'll have a sorry head and nothin left to show
在這向所有為你們服務的酒保和女侍致敬
他們可是整晚忍着你們的臭口和淫蕩眼神
所以當你們離開時乖乖留下酒錢在桌上
明天你們除了宿醉就沒有什麼可眩耀了

[A]

Here's to all the lovely ladies who might be waitin for the band,
and thinkin one of them might make a charmin one night stand.
Please don't be offended girls this song is not for you.
we'll be happy to oblige you when this nasty job is through.
向所有等待着樂隊出場的女仕說一句
不要想着可以和成員們晚上來一發了
噢冒犯了女仕但這歌不是為你們而唱
當我們唱完這場就能好好和你們談了

[A]

So you've been promising the ladies a night of lovin bliss,
but truth be told your far to drunk to stand up straight and piss.
So give it up you lousy sods you'll not be gettin laid.
and the sooner that you're out the door the sooner we'll get paid.
所以你承諾女伴可以盡情享受這一晚?
但事實是你醉得歪着走連尿都尿不好
所以放棄吧老兄今晚沒機會打炮的了
你就早點滾蛋讓我們早點收到錢吧

[A] X2

you'll get no more this evening so you better bugger off
今晚再沒酒給你們所以快給我滾

我們的祖先系列︰《分成兩半的子爵》,《樹上的男爵》,《不存在的騎士》 - 伊塔羅.卡爾維諾 (Our Ancestors - Italo Calvino)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Ancestors

我們的祖先系列,包括︰《分成兩半的子爵》,《樹上的男爵》和《不存在的騎士》。

「我尤其想請讀者注意故事意象和情節所提供的道息課題。《分成兩半的子爵》討論了缺憾、偏頗、 性的匱乏;《樹上的男爵》的題旨則包括孤立、疏遠、人際關係的困頓;《不存在的騎士》探索空洞的形體以及具體的生命實質,自我建塑命運以及入世的意識,還有出世的全然撤離。」P.10

作者親切地寫下了三個故事各自的主旨,讓我們能有一個比較明確的方向來思考。當然看倌們還是可以往冷戰分裂、知識份子於政治洪流中進退和機構人的方向思索。

三個故事都簡明易懂,各故事的主旨都能夠在不同篇章中輕易跳出,又不會令人感到突兀,手法非常高明。

「我真希望可以把世界上的一切人事物都剖為兩半,就像切鱆魚一樣,」舅舅低頭看着岩石上抽搐的剖半鱆魚,加以撥弄,「如此一來,人們才能夠擺脫他們的完整面貌、不再笨拙無知。本來,我也是完整的一個人,所有的事物對我來說都是自然的、含混的,我的腦袋就像氣體一樣空空蕩蕩。那時候,我以為自己見識了萬物的全貌—未料,我只看見表象而已。孩子,如果你有機會變成半個你自己—為了你自己好,我真希望你變成半個人—你的智慧就能夠超越那些凡俗的完整頭腦。雖然這樣的你將會喪失半個自我、半個世界,可是剩下來的半個你將會勝過千百倍原來的你,一半的你將會更深沉可貴。而且,剖為一半的你也會開始期望把其他人事物全部剖半—因為只有在碎片之中,才找到美麗,知識,以及正義。」P.78

接着善良的梅達多說,「喔,潘蜜拉,被切成兩半其實是件好事。切成兩半之後,才會理解世界上的一切人物事都不完整、才會知道這種不完整會帶來悲傷。我本來是個完整的人,所以我不懂得什麼是殘缺。我麻木不仁,與身邊的苦慟憂愁擦肩而過。許多境界對完整的人而言,都是全然的陌生。潘蜜拉!切成兩半的人並非只有我自己而已,妳也是殘缺的、任何人都不完整!當我還是完整的人時,我不知道、不明瞭什麼是同胞之愛,可是同胞之愛卻是我現在的信念。我要和世界上所有支離破碎的、不完滿的人事物共享同胞愛!潘蜜拉!只要妳和我在一起,妳就可以學習感受每個人的痛苦!在照顧別人的同時,妳也將照顧了妳自己!」P.115

《分成兩半的子爵》內,左右兩邊不同的子爵對一半的感想。非常不錯的兩段文字,惡的一邊道出,一半因為沒有另一邊的制約,而能將自己的一半的屬性發揮更大,也因此加深了另一半所說的,更能感受到不同感情(這邊是同胞愛)的器量。惡所說的剖半,又並非物理上的剖半,而是精神上,道息上的剖開。也未必一定是一半,而是把相互制衡的知性剖開,完全發揮其所持的特點。雖然因為只有一部份的知性特點,而只能理解感受其一方的世界,但也因此感受體會得更深刻。

《不存在的騎士》,堅決遵守各種原則而生的騎士,在失去了自身騎士頭銜之後,自己的存在就突然被推翻。到底最後是真的消失了,還是脫下原則的盔甲化成風去了?

《樹上的男爵》少年的冒險故事(笑)。

Sonata Arctica - No Dream Can Heal A Broken Heart



歌詞翻譯︰

My dream, it seems, fails to see the mornings
My one and only aim
I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness
I feel something on my lips I should not
我的夢看來不會迎來黎明
到現在我唯一的一個目標
在黑暗中我聽到呼吸聲
在這裏我不是孤單一人
我的唇上感受到不應感到的觸覺

[A]
One, too many poison kisses
And I'm drowning in the deepest sea
I found my destiny, something I'm here for
I'm knocking on my heaven's door
我和你千萬遍的毒吻
將我拋入深邃的大海
我找到我在這的使命
就是敲開我天國的門
[/A]

One day we will run out of tomorrows
And yesterday's become the stuff our dreams are made of
終有一天我們將迎來終結
而昨天的種種將成為夢境

Until today, I lived in the shadow world
Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated
Independent thought deleted...
今天之前我一直都處於幽暗
此刻我拋開理性說出心中話
再沒有理性阻我前進

[A]

And the map to find my sleeping wishes
Is hidden where I cannot see
When I'm awake, I need your poison kisses
To fall back in a living dream...
那幅指向我那沉睡願望的地圖
藏在我永遠看不到的地方
而當我醒過來,我需要你的毒吻
讓我墮回那栩栩如生的夢裏

"Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong.
If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong...
So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see
If the life beyond this dream is what you seek..."
「你為什麼懼怕渴求我的愛,振作吧。
若你的心能聽到歌唱,就不會錯了……
若果你在追尋夢外的現實
相信我吧,留下這份愛,睜開眼睛。」

"Fill your deepest wishes,
Come take my poison kisses
Life is too short, this golden hour last for a lifetime..."
「滿足你的渴望,
來吻我這毒吻吧
人生苦短,而這甜美的一刻將永記你心……」

Give me your poison kiss,
Now, come night, I need my sleeping wish
Help me dream again, somehow kiss me now
給我你的毒吻,
降下吧夜幕,我需要我沉眠的願望
無論如何吻我吧,助我再夢一次

With your poisoned lips
Oh, come night, I want my missing wish
Help me get one kiss, somehow
Hold me now
帶着你的毒吻,
噢降下的夜幕我想找到我沉睡的願望
不管怎樣幫我取得一吻,
抱緊我

No dream can heal a broken heart...
When we're apart...
當我們分開
沒有美夢能療心的傷

...On the sea of wishes
My dream that no one misses
Tears me apart, always somehow
Goodbye love...
在這願望之海上
沒有誰記掛我的夢
我的心都如被撕扯開
再見我的愛

Linkin Park - In Between


歌詞翻譯︰

Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between
讓我先說句對不起
讓我為接下來所說的說聲對不起
但嘗試說實話比我所想的更困難
而不知怎樣我被難倒了

Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be someone else was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between
讓我先說句對不起
讓我為接下來所說的說聲對不起
但嘗試代入他人角色比我想的更難
而不知怎樣我被難倒了

[A]
Between my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
夾在我的尊嚴和承諾中
真相被眾多謊言圍繞
我想跟你說的在開口前已忘記
比唯一更悲慘的是根本沒有過
[/A]

Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to regain your trust was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between
讓我先說句對不起
讓我為接下來所說的說聲對不起
但看來重新獲得你信任比我想的更難
而不知怎樣我被難倒了

[A]

The only thing that's worse than one is none
比唯一更悲慘的是根本沒有過

And I cannot explain to you
In anything I say, or do, or plan
Fear is not afraid of you
Guilt's a language you can understand
I cannot explain to you in anything I say or do
I hope the actions speak the words they can
無論我說,做,計劃什麼
我都不能向你解釋
你並不害怕
因你只能感到罪惡感
我不能說或做什麼向你解釋
我只希望你理解我所作的

For my pride and my promise
For my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is...
For my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none
為我的尊嚴和承諾
為夾在眾多謊言之中的真相
我想跟你說的在開口前已忘記
比唯一更悲慘的是……
為我的尊嚴和承諾
真相夾在我眾多謊言之中
我想跟你說的在開口前已忘記
比唯一更悲慘的是根本沒有過
比唯一更悲慘的是根本沒有過
比唯一更悲慘的是根本沒有過

The Planet Smashers - Fabricated


歌詞翻譯︰

Eleven o'clock news today, fights for TV ratings
It's hard not to believe what I see, but take warning
Media blindfolds bending the truth, suggestions telling me,
Both what I want and what I need.
晚上十一點整新聞報導
太難不去相信接下來的
不是為了播報率而賣力
小心
媒體們為人們朦上眼罩
扭曲現實輕言謠言
都是我想和需要的

[A]
We are Fabricated
We are Regulated
We will fight to control the truth
我們都已被矇騙
我們都已被管制
我們會為真相而戰鬥
[/A]

Their control of social trends, makes it easy to forget
The choices that I made, were never mine in the first place
But now I found out & I'm opting out to rediscover
Both what I want and what I need
他們對社會動向的控制
令人容易忘記他的選擇
當初那由我所作的選擇
其實根本是受人控制的
但現在我發現了
而我選擇尋求真相
都是我想和需要的

[A]

We will fight to control the truth
我們會為真相而戰鬥
