Passenger – When We Were Young
We used to never say never
我们不曾说不可能
used to think we live forever
以为我们能一辈子活着
flying free beneath the sun
在艳阳下自由飞著
days go running and hiding
你追我跑逍遥玩乐
the weeks are going slippy and sliding
时光匆匆流逝了
years leave quicker everytime they come
年复一年如此过著
Remember when we were young
还记得年轻时
Look back to the best days
那些美好的日子
collecting all yesterdays
细数着一日又一日
as they built up one by one
回忆堆叠一个又一个
How we beg and we borrow
我们如此努力活着
say we do it tomorrow
推托说着我们明天会完成
but tomorrow never seems to come
但明天似乎远在天边
We used to never say never
我们不曾说不可能
used to think we live forever
以为我们能一辈子活着
flying free beneath the sun
在艳阳下自由飞著
days go running and hiding
你追我跑逍遥玩乐
the weeks are going slippy and sliding
时光匆匆流逝了
years leave quicker everytime they come
年复一年如此过著
Remember when we were young
还记得年轻时
And we were boys on the beach
我们曾是海滩男孩
everything was in reach
每件事都难不倒我们
I know it’s hard to remember
我知道想起来很心痛
and all had the years they vanish
但岁月就此流过
I always wanted to learn Spanish
我一只想学西班牙语
and travel round South-America
到南美洲旅行
We used to never say never
我们不曾说不可能
used to think we live forever
以为我们能一辈子活着
flying free beneath the sun
在艳阳下自由飞著
days go running and hiding
你追我跑逍遥玩乐
the weeks are going slippy and sliding
时光匆匆流逝了
years leave quicker everytime they come
年复一年如此过著
Remember when we were young
还记得年轻时
Passenger 在 2016 年 9 月发行的专集 Young As The Morning Old As The Sea (年少如晨,苍老如海)里面有不少好歌,有很多首我甚至觉得不输给他最红的 Let her go。在充满磁性的嗓音中又透露了点无奈与沧桑。
When We Were Young 这首歌大家或许觉得歌名有点熟悉,大概是因为 Adele 也有一首 When We Were Young,两首都是很棒的歌曲,但我个人更喜欢 Passenger 的风格。这首歌让我想起他在前一张专辑中的 All The Little Lights ,表达着对于时光流逝的无可奈何。人类在时间洪流下如此渺小,即使过去从经多么闪耀、多么疯狂,数十年过去后,回首望去也只不过系如沙粒般无所谓,过去的悲欢也显得微不足道。记得有一句话是这么说的 “Les humains disent que le temps passe. Le temps dit que les humains passent”(人们说时光流逝,但时间说是人们不断流逝。)或许不是我们留不住时间,而是我们不断在时光中消逝呢。
