《超级大坏蛋》插曲--《Alone Again, Naturally》
这首歌不仅《超级大坏蛋》原声影碟将其收录,它还出现在《冰河世纪》和《精灵鼠小弟2》之中。歌曲节奏明快中带点忧郁,旋律优美中透出伤感,跟这几部片子的主题和意境还真是特别贴切,令人百听不厌。
In a little while from now
如果再过不久
If I'm not feeling any less sour
内心依然不能好受
I promise myself, to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
我发誓我会寻找一处高塔
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
任自己纵身一跃而下……
In an effort to, make it clear to who
如此一来,你便会清楚,
Ever what it's like when you're shattered
我早已粉身碎骨,已被你簌簌扬作飞土……
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
失魂落魄地站着
Where people saying, my God
听教堂里的人们惊呼,说上帝啊,
That's tough, she stood him up
教他如何承受,她不顾而去的痛苦?!……
No point in us remaining
各自分飞,再无交汇
We may as well go home
分道扬镳,也许是对
As I did on my own
剩下我一人,
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
不敢去想就是昨天
I was cheerful, bright and gay
我还那般欢欣雀跃
Looking forward to, well who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
还憧憬着那个我将要为之努力的我们的明天……
But as if to knock me down, reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
然而一切突如其来,似狂飙将一切撕成碎屑
Leaving me to doubt, talk about God and his mercy though if he really does exist
我甚至开始怀疑上帝是否存在,是否会向人施以慈爱?
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need, I truly am indeed
不然又怎会弃我而去,在我最无助的时候
Alone again, naturally
漠然地任我重归孤独?
It seems to me that there are more hearts
貌似在这个世界上,还有更多更残破的心
Broken in the world, that can't be mended,Left unattended
无人修复,不受眷顾……
What do we do? What do we do?
我们能够做些什么?
到底又能够做些什么?
Alone again, naturally
如果最后都不过是,重归孤独
Looking back over the years
回首那些情殇的岁月
Whatever else that appears
还有什么历历在心间
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
忆起曾为父亲不能自已地哭,当他溘然撒手人寰……
And at 65 years old, my mother God rest her soul
直到母亲永远睡去
Couldn't understand,
也参悟不透上帝的用意,
why the only man she had ever loved had been taken
为何非要带走自己唯一的爱,
Leaving her to start, with a heart so badly broken
遗她的残躯孑然上路?
Despite encouragement from me
而尽管我抚慰再三
No words were ever spoken
她也还是缄默无言
And when she passed away
直至终于离开这她早已无眷恋的一个人的人世间……
I cried and cried all day
沉湎终日,以泪洗面
Alone again, naturally
我又重归孤独,自然而然
Alone again, naturally
