第1842期:How can one not love Taylor Swift?

Taylor Swift的粉丝自称 Swifties. 我从前不是,但昨天被她的一首歌打动了,也许从此我也是Swiftie了。

今天花了一早上翻译了这首Taylor Swift作词作曲演唱,让无数她的歌迷痛哭的歌。

“They call themselves the ‘Swifties’–it’s adorable.” – Taylor Swift


My tears ricochet 看我泪飞

作詞:Taylor Swift     

作曲:Taylor Swift  

歌词翻译:佛老(Fuolao)


We gather here, we line up, weepin’ in a sunlit room

聚首,排队,垂泪,房间里阳光明媚。

And if I’m on fire, you’ll be made of ashes, too

如果我烧毁,你也成灰烬。

Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe

哪怕在我最糟的一天,是否值得,宝贝

All the hell you gave me

你给我的所有负累

‘Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you

因为爱过你,我对天发誓。

‘Til my dying day

心系你,至死不渝。

I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace

我无力优雅离去

And you’re the hero flying around, saving face

而你继续飞,带着英雄面具

And if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake

如果我已成过去,你又何必哭灵

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

诅咒我名字,祈愿我回心转意

Look at how my tears ricochet

看我如何泪飞,哀怨碎舞

We gather stones, never knowing what they’ll mean

收集了那么多石头,也许百无一用。

Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring

有些被抛弃,有些做成钻石戒指。

You know I didn’t want to have to haunt you

你可知我从未想过纠缠你

But what a ghostly scene

多鬼魅,多寒心。

You wear the same jewels that I gave you

你戴着我送你的手饰

As you bury me

亲手埋葬我尸骨

I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace

我无力优雅离去

‘Cause when I’d fight, you used to tell me I was brave

当我抗争时,你说过我勇敢有力

And if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake

如果我已成过去式,你又何必哭灵

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

诅咒我名字,祈愿回心转意

Look at how my tears ricochet

看我如何泪飞,哀怨碎舞

And I can go anywhere I want

如今我走遍天下

Anywhere I want, just not home

只是不能回家

And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

你可以瞄准我心脏,我血溅溢

But you would still miss me in your bones

但你仍会想念我,在你骨头里

And I still talk to you (When I’m screaming at the sky)

我还有话对你说(我只能对着天空叫嚷)

And when you can’t sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)

当你夜不能寐(你可听见我被盗的摇篮曲)

I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace

我无力优雅离去

And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

战舰终将沉入海底

You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same

你杀了我,也毁了自己

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

诅咒我名字,祈愿我回心转意

You turned into your worst fears

你成了你最怕的自己

And you’re tossing out blame, drunk on this pain

逃避骂名,痛苦买醉

Crossing out the good years

过往好日子亲手删去

And you’re cursing my name, wishing I stayed

而你诅咒我名字,祈愿我回心转意

Look at how my tears ricochet

看我如何泪飞,哀怨碎舞

– THE END –
