Groove Armada – Think Twice

Close your eyes and lose the feeling that’s been sinking
闭上双眼,抛下那个下沉的感觉
Close your eyes and count to three
闭上双眼,数到三
Close your eyes, rewind, I know just what you’re thinking
闭上双眼,再一次,我知道你在想些什么
Close your eyes and think of me
闭上双眼,想起我

Larger than life, niceties, bigger than you, more than me
有什么,是比生命还重要,细微、又比你我还深奥
I’ve got the Monday morning blues and, oh my God, I’ve got the home for you
讨厌的星期一,噢,我是你的归属
And give the everyday morning you use
你讨厌的星期一,都丢给我
There’s things right here I can’t afford to choose
有些事情,我不愿抉择
Close your eyes and lose the feeling that’s been sinking
闭上双眼,抛下那个下沉的感觉
Close your eyes and count to three
闭上双眼,数到三
Close your eyes, rewind, I know just what you’re thinking
闭上双眼,再一次,我知道你在想些什么
Close your eyes and think of me
闭上双眼,想起我

Sincere, caramel, champagne, down drain, tell him, no gain
你的真心,如焦糖,又像香槟,喝下口却徒劳无功
It’s so damn physical it will sustain and too damn technicolor to refrain
发生得太快,我眼花撩乱
And much too taxing for my little brain
我的小脑袋应付不来
Why do we never know enough of happy ends? Why do they never show?
我们怎么就不明白一切会好转,怎么一点迹象也没有
All the times that we have been so good at caring, how many times we’ll never know
我们愿意花多久时间好好表现,我们永远不会知道

Close your eyes and lose the feeling that’s been sinking
闭上双眼,抛下那个下沉的感觉
Close your eyes and count to three
闭上双眼,数到三
Close your eyes, rewind, I know just what you’re thinking
闭上双眼,再一次,我知道你在想些什么
Close your eyes and think of me
闭上双眼,想起我

Packed it like a punch, out to lunch
整理好情绪,午餐去
I got a little hunch that stood out from the bunch
我的直觉告诉我
As if that’s not enough, I even knew the reason why
努力还不够,原因我很清楚
That God damn bitch of life, she made me cry
生命这鬼东西总让我难过
So I’d like to poke her squarely in the eye
真想一拳揍向她的眼
And it hurt so much I feel like I could die, yeah
但这一拳却痛得我想死

Groove Armada – Think Twice

 

Think Twice 是我无意间在 Youtube 上听见的歌曲,一听就爱上这种带点慵懒、沮丧、无奈的唱腔和曲风,即使在了解歌词之前,就已经被深深吸引。但首先必须说,这首歌的歌词看了又看,实在不是很确定意思,再加上要配合句与句之间的流畅,所以在翻译上没有一字一字对到,有些是经过我自己的诠释才翻出来的,有问题的话也请大家多指教。

我想这首歌说的是一种疲累的状态,对工作、对感情、对生活、甚至对生命都感到疲惫且无所适从,努力过却达不到目标的一种焦虑与无助。这种焦虑无助的感觉,或许就是歌词第二段所说的”Larger than life, niceties, bigger than you, more than me”,这种感觉或许很琐碎,不足以杀死你,却足以令你失眠无数个夜晚,正是这种心情阻挠了一切,阻挠了你我之间的进展,阻挠了生命的正常运作。

歌词中还提到了 Monday blue/ Sincere, caramel, champagne,我想,这里想表达的是工作与感情上的困扰,他愿意吞下难过,讨另一半开心,他对对方的真心却无所回报。有太多烦心的事情,他无法处理,唯一能做的,只有“闭上双眼,抛下那个下沉的感觉”。

最后一段的歌词我非常喜欢,把“生命”拟人成一个狡诈的 bitch,他不想再与“生命”这家伙斗了,只想奋力打它一拳。谁知道,这一拳的反弹却伤得他更痛,痛到他不想活。如此简单却鲜明的比喻,深刻说明了我们与生命搏斗显得多么渺小,也带点讽刺,说明我们唯有忍受、唯有委屈,其他都只是徒劳。
