還是對God help the girl這部電影的人物、景色、歌曲意猶未盡嗎?這首a down and dusky blonde可說是道盡主角Eve的心靈故事,許多人說看完歌詞像一本小說,其實翻這篇費了我偌大的心思,直翻就完完全全失了這首歌的意境,苦惱了好久,
所以以下的歌詞經過我潤飾加工過,有疑問歡迎留言。
I fried my head, I'm not a brunette
我燙了一頭捲髮,卻不具深褐的髮色
I'm a down and dusky blonde
是柔軟帶點深色的金髮
I am living in a tree
我正在樹下生活
When I lie in bed I see
躺臥在床上我看見
Beyond my lover's head the moon, I hear the rain
我的愛人上方掛著一彎明月,細細小雨在旁點綴美景
I am conscious of my voice as a tool
我在想我的聲音是不是很壓抑
It's more demure
它現在更顯得壓抑矜持了
Than your friend the singing queen
好比妳的朋友歌藝精湛
With her matinee good looks
獲得台下觀眾的青睞
She talks like talking from a book
且她言語之中帶點文藝氣息
I speak the language of my village, of my street
而我吐出的隻字片語都是幼時未經刻琢的鄉音
But I need a friend and I choose you
然而我需要一個像你一樣的朋友
I tell you the way I feel
吐露我的感覺想法
The truth is crushing like a heel
告白墜到我心崁裡
I will forget the kiss and feel if you will too
我會忘掉那吻 感受如果你也會這樣做
Tell me tales of punk rockin' girls
告訴我那龐克女生們的傳奇故事
It's a dim and distant page
這是一篇黑不見底的故事
But I mostly blame my age
但讓我有所埋怨的是我歲數太小
Please make allowances for me
拜託你通融一下
I do not see
讓我看看那篇章
It's a drag that you're getting old
隨著年紀增長所負的擔子也日益增加
I love to think about the year
我喜歡去回想那段
When we sobbed and then we cheered
我們一起流淚一起歡笑的日子
The town deserted like a film
這小鎮荒涼的就像電影出現的情景
The sun was baking dust for fun
太陽為了找樂子炙烤著荒蕪
Trees were withering by the day
樹葉日漸凋零
Your torso crushing me
只剩著軀幹壓著我
Into the country and the tunnels and the fields
駛過鄉間進入隧道田野
But I need a friend and I choose you
然而我需要一個像你一樣的朋友
I tell you the way I feel
吐露我的感覺想法
The truth is crushing like a heel
告白墜到我心崁裡
I will forget the kiss and feel if you will too
我會忘掉那吻 感受如果你也會這樣做
I read a book a day, like an apple
我把書本當成蘋果,一天一顆以為就此得到滿足
But I did not eat
但我空著肚子
And so the doctor came to me
所以醫生過來跟我說
He said a woman does not live
女人不能只靠
By the printed word
書本上的字句過活
Forgive yourself and eat
饒了你的身體 吃點東西吧!
Autumn sped along outside
秋色在外飄盪
Trick photography on speed
翻弄著如照片般美景 指痕留下了秋色
I was locked inside a room
我在房間內 房門深鎖
They made a deal, they would control The simple things like bodies
想像他們暗中訂了一條契約,可以輕易操控我的身體
But I kept my soul
但慶幸的是我還是保有我的靈魂
When I needed someone I chose you
我選擇你當我需要人時
Because the fledgling soul awakes
赤子之心才剛剛喚醒
And on the balcony she quakes
她在陽臺上打了個哆嗦
And she is waiting for the sign
其實她要等待著訊息
And when the brother does not come
但哥們兒並沒捎來消息
And when the sister's much to you, she chooses you
而姊妹們待你不錯,她選擇妳
