Jacquie Lee – Broken Ones
[verse 1]
Cross your heart and say you’ve never given up
承诺说你绝不放弃
That you carried on when every door was shut
说即使没有出路也会走下去
That you live, you live with no regret
说你会不带后悔活下去
We wear a smile to hide that we’ve been hurt before
面挂微笑隐藏被伤过的痕迹
Keep our disasters in a suitcase by the door
掩饰好你的灾难你的回忆
Cause you know, you know we’re only human
因为你知道 你只是凡人而已
[Chorus]
So lay your hands on the left behind
回首遗忘的过去
We all know how it feels to be forgotten for a while
你我都知道被忘记的味道
In a crowded place trying not to feel alone
在人群中试着从寂寞中逃跑
Just remember that we’ve all been broken once
记好 你我都曾被伤透
Let’s love the broken ones, yeah, yeah
对待被伤透的人
Love the broken ones
用爱去守候
[verse 2]
Raise your glass to all the words we never say
举杯默默道出祝福
We do our best, but still we look the other way
试着全力以赴却得不到结果
Cause sometimes it’s easier to run
因为有时逃避简单得多
Cause after all, we’re only human
因为我们不过是凡人也会犯错
[Chorus]
So lay your hands on the left behind
回首遗忘的过去
We all know how it feels to be forgotten for a while
你我都知道被忘记的味道
In a crowded place trying not to feel alone
在人群中试着从寂寞中逃跑
Just remember that we’ve all been broken once
记好 你我都曾被伤透
Let’s love the broken ones, yeah, yeah
对待被伤透的人
Love the broken ones
用爱去守候
[bridge]
Sometimes we’re left behind
有时我们被遗忘
Feel like the only one
对全世界都失望
But we were born to try
但我们仍努力尝试
Yeah, we’re only human
是啊 即使我们只是凡人
[Chorus]
So lay your hands on the left behind
回首遗忘的过去
We all know how it feels to be forgotten for a while
你我都知道被忘记的味道
In a crowded place trying not to feel alone
在人群中试着从寂寞中逃跑
Just remember that we’ve all been broken once
记好 你我都曾被伤透
Let’s love the broken ones, yeah, yeah
对待被伤透的人
Love the broken ones
用爱去守候
Jacquie Lee
Jacquie Lee 是 1997 年出生的美国女歌手，浑厚的声音中带着坚定及活力，唱出这首 Broken Ones 的歌词内容十分震撼人心。
这首歌鼓励所有被伤透、被遗忘、在痛苦与寂寞中找不到一丝希望的人。告诉他们，即使感到孤单，也不能放弃。这世界上，并不是只有你独自一人孤单，或许两个孤单的人在一起并没办法变得不寂寞，但至少，你会知道，有人负著和一你样重、甚至更重的伤，缓慢前行，还在挣扎还没放弃。如果现在听着这首歌的你，也曾感受过通、也曾伤痕累累，那么记住，请对身边的人温柔，因为他们可能正扛着满身的伤用力奋斗。
这首歌让我想起 Rachael Yamagata – Elephants 如象般的记忆 的最后一段歌词，”So for those of you falling in love keep it kind/ Keep it good/ Keep it right”，“陷入情网的你们 ，请温柔待人，发发慈悲，心存善念”，因为一不小心你就会成为遍体鳞伤的猎物，或者手上沾血的猎人。
