今天想要分享的不是 Billboard 上的排名歌曲,而是我最愛的歌手:簡單的、純樸的、真實的 Jason Mraz。他的曲風清新,歌曲內容通常也很有意境,我從大學時期他新出《We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things》專輯時就開始常常聽他的歌了。最近因為煩惱的事太多了,所以常常聽今天要介紹的這一首歌 “3 Things" 來轉換自己的心情。一開始就點出「當我的生活崩壞時,我有三個簡單的步驟」,聽完之後真的會有種很平靜的感覺。想把這份平靜跟你分享。(轉貼)
歌詞翻譯 LYRICS
There are three things I do when my life falls apart¹
當我的生活崩壞時,我有三個簡單的步驟
Number one I cry my eyes out and dry up my heart
第一步:我會哭出所有的悲傷再擰乾我浸滿哀愁的心
Not until I do this will my new life start
不這樣做,我無法重新出發
So that’s the first thing that I do when my life falls apart.
當我的生活崩壞時,這就是我的第一步
Oh, the second thing I do is I close both of my eyes
我的第二個步驟就是閉上我的雙眼
And say my thank-yous² to each and every moment of my life.
然後對人生中的每時每刻給予最誠摯的感謝
I go where I know the love is and let it fill me up inside
心神遊走到愛所在的地方,讓愛填補所有的空缺
Gathering new strength from sorrow,
從哀傷中得到全新的力量
I’m glad to be alive.
活著,真是件讓人高興的事
Things are looking up³
一切都有了轉機
I know above the clouds the sun is shining
我確信,躲在烏雲後的太陽仍舊是閃耀著
Things are looking up
一切都有了轉機
Love is still the answer I’m relying on
愛仍舊是我最信賴的唯一答案
Three little things
這三個簡單的步驟
Things are looking up
讓一切都有了轉機
The third thing that I do now when my world caves in⁴,
當我的世界開始塌陷崩落時,我的第三個步驟是
is I pause, I take a breath, and bow and I let that chapter end.
停下來,深呼吸,下台一鞠躬
I design my future bright not by where my life has been⁵.
我光明的未來不限於過去的種種
And I try, try, try, try, try again.
所以我要嘗試、嘗試、再嘗試
Yes I try, try, try, try, try again.
沒錯我要嘗試、嘗試、再嘗試
Things are looking up
一切都有了轉機
I know beyond the dark the sun is rising
我確信,在黑暗以後就是旭日升起的太陽
Things are looking up
一切都有了轉機
And I know above the clouds the sun is shining
我確信,躲在烏雲後的太陽仍舊是閃耀著
Things are looking
一切都有了轉機
Love is still the answer I’m relying on
愛仍舊是我最信賴的唯一答案
Three little things
這三個簡單的步驟
Three little things
這三個簡單的步驟
