这是一首老歌,這首歌是 Sarah Connor 写给她由于吸毒而死去的朋友玛利亚的,
一首讓人感動的歌。
不僅是為它動感的節奏,
更為歌者的心。
几个钢琴的音符悄悄的从心头滑过,仿佛精灵就在耳边叹息着:
This song is about Maria 这是个关于玛利亚的故事
A close friend of mine ——我的一个好朋友
Who lost herself in drugs 她在毒品中彻底迷失了自我
She told me to wait for her 她告诉我让我等她
But guess what... 可是……你猜发生了什么事
She never came back她从没有回来过
And I'm still waiting 而我还一直在等着她
最后一句悲哀猛地弥漫了开来,如同是打开了尘封的记忆盒子,又像是喝到了最后一口的速溶咖啡,苦味浓浓的叠加。
之后本以为会是对毒品的痛斥,谁想,音调竟又变得明了流畅。
She told me她告诉我
Wait till you hear from me等我直到你听到我的消息
Monday, Tuesday it won't be 星期一、星期二那没有可能性
Wednesday, Thursday we will see 星期三、星期四我们试试
If only you can wait baby 只要你能等,我的宝贝
Wait 'til you hear from me等我直到你听到我的消息
Friday use your fantasy 星期五你用你的想像力
Saturday you got over me 星期六你一定忘了我
If only you can wait baby 只要你能等,我的宝贝
这才发现看似明快的调子中的悲伤,才更深入人心。I Was Deeply Moved By It.
She was called Maria and she really was a friend 她叫做玛丽亚而且她是我真正的朋友
I remember when we were walking hand in hand 我还记得起我们手拉着手在街上散步的日子
She was telling me that she understands 她告诉我
All the world and every thrill by taking little pills 毒品令她无所不知
So she was trying everything and more 因此她一次又一次的尝试
Alcohol and speed, coke and weed and tried to score 酒精,兴奋剂,可卡因,大麻,甚至去走私
Tragedy: she didn't feel much better than before 悲剧性的是,她的生活更不如往日
So she got away here quick to find a better kick 因此她很快离开这里并寻找新的机遇
低低的贝司和着若有似无的琴音,把这一悲剧化的事情衬托的丝丝入扣。
Never let it, wanna find her 从不放弃寻找着她
Can't forget it to remind her 从没忘记提醒她
She's my sister, wanna tell her 她是我的好姐妹
How I miss her,我是多么的想念着她啊
短短几句过门将深厚的姐妹友谊诠释的淋漓尽致。
Wait, don't call you've got to 等着我,不要打电话给我
Wait 'til you hear from me 等着我,知道你听到我的消息
Wait, that's all you've got to 等着我,这是你该做的
Wait... 等着我……
When she arrived in the city of the stars 当她来到那个明星之城
Blinded by the lights, a burning in the heart 被那些灯光迷乱了双眼,心中燃烧起了对物质的渴求
She believed to play what she called her part 她相信她会是个好演员
A member of society to satisfy her dreams 作为社会的一员来实现她的梦想
No one paid attention on her skills 没有人注意到她的技术
So she found crack is another way to fill 她发现毒品是填补内心的空虚的另一种方法
The emptiness inside right now she got her thrill 于是她立刻开始吸毒
Guess, who gave his life away? She did it every day猜吧,是什么断送了她的生命?她每天都这样做了。
断送了生命的原因正是毒品。歌曲到此时才点出了歌曲的真正主旨,不可以不说是非常巧妙。
Why did she throw her life away? 为什么她要放弃她的生命?
Why did she say don't call just wait? 为什么她不打电话而只是等待?
一声声的叩问仿佛是叩打在听者的心上。
If you wanna go to the city of stars 如果你要去那个明星之城
Can you help me to find my girl Maria 你能不能帮我找找我的姐妹玛丽亚
She once was an actress and a beauty queen 她曾是个演员而且是美丽的女王
Then the drugs took over and made her mean 只是毒品使她堕落
I tried to stand by her side make her feel alright 我尝试着站到她旁边让她感觉更好些
But she wished to get over to the other side 可是她希望往反方向走
And since I can't really get her out of my mind 我无法将她从脑海中抹去
I'm asking you, won't you help me to find 我请求你,你能不能帮我找到她?
宝贝,为什么总是让我等待?
知道吗?我会很伤心!
我好难过。。。!你是我心头最爱!
却相隔那么遥远。。。。
风尘彼岸。。。我在为你哭泣
不仅是姐妹 还是爱人
我将付出的爱同样多
歌曲末的这段唱词更是发人深省,是毒品令一个成功的演员堕落到了地狱,毒品的危害不言而喻。
歌曲中间还插了一段关于美国吸毒人士死亡的统计,血一般的事实,给整首歌增加了不少份量。
它与国内外其他的禁毒歌曲不同,并不是千篇一律的教导,而是用活生生的事实直接打动人心,外加上SARAH动人的歌喉,使这首歌曲傲立于流行歌曲的街头。
我想这是一首一听就会让人喜欢上的歌曲。
