Birdy – Wild Horses

[Verse 1]
I’m a dreamer
我是个梦想家
But it’s hard to sleep when your head’s not in it
但你不在身边时 却连入睡都难
I’ve been restless
我急躁不已
Cause you disappeared and that’s all that’s missing
你突然离去 似乎一切都失去意义
The Earth is loose under my shoes
我再也站不稳
There’s an angel
我看见一个天使
And he’s shaped like you, and I thought I knew him
有着你的轮廓 看起来很眼熟
There’s a window
我看见一扇窗
And it’s dark inside, but the light was in it
漆黑一片 却有盏灯在里头
This can’t be love if it hurts so much
如此伤人 这可真是爱的本质？
I need to let go
我必须放手

[Chorus]
I will survive and be the one who’s stronger
我会挺过艰辛 变得更坚强
I will not beg you to stay
不会求你留下
I will move on and you should know I mean it
真心向前看
Wild horses run in me
如一匹脱缰野马

[Verse 2]
I remember
我还记得
How we danced so close, I would stand on your feet
与你亲密共舞
And the phone calls
与你彻夜谈心
That would last all night, they were lifeboats to me
你总是我的救星
Our fading scars just shooting stars
但美好回忆成了丑陋伤疤
They’re here, then go
我愿伤疤变成流星飞过

[Chorus]
I will survive and be the one who’s stronger
我会挺过艰辛 变得更坚强
I will not beg you to stay
不会求你留下
I will move on and you should know I mean it
真心向前看
Wild horses run in me
如一匹脱缰野马

[Bridge]
A human hurts, forgets how strong they are
一旦受了伤 便想不起自己原本多坚强
And they get lost along the way, hey
迷失方向  但记住
It’s not giving up, it’s letting go
你该做的是放手 不是放弃
And moving to a better place
相信下一步会更好

[Chorus]
I will survive and be the one who’s stronger
我会挺过艰辛 变得更坚强
I will not beg you to stay
不会求你留下
I will move on and you should know I mean it
真心向前看
Wild horses run in me
如一匹脱缰野马
I will survive and be the one who’s stronger
我会挺过艰辛 变得更坚强
I will not beg you to stay
不会求你留下
I will move on and you should know I mean it
真心向前看
Wild horses run in me
如一匹脱缰野马

Birdy – Beautiful Lies album

柏蒂 Birdy 2016 年新专辑 Beautiful Lies 中的歌曲 Wild Horses 犹如先前的单曲 Let It All Go 一般鼓舞人心，抚慰所有受伤的心灵。两首歌的内容十分相似，不过曲风却完全不同。 Let It All Go 与David Rhodes 合唱，沈稳的嗓音配上抒情的钢琴配乐，令人先因分手难过一番，再开始思索如何振奋，而 Wild Horses 则一开始就节奏明快，带给人截然不同的感觉。

歌词内容叙述一段破碎的感情。歌曲中的女主角起初也舍不得放手，”an angel shaped like you” 指的就是仍然徘徊在心中忘不掉的回忆。暗室中的光则表示再怎么悲伤的困境都有走出来的可能。”Our fading scars just shooting stars/ They’re here, then go”把永远烙印在身上的伤疤比喻成流星，让它划过天际成为最美的句点。

不可否认， Birdy 的声音及音乐真的能带给人很多正能量，但个人还是比较喜欢像是 Strange Birds 那样的曲风，毕竟悲伤比喜悦更容易传染，是吧？
