這次我翻譯了Fun.之前的一首歌All the pretty girls,這首歌是比他們的Some nights專輯更早的歌,但是我很喜歡這首歌,也很有fun.的感覺。
這首歌的曲風很歡快,但是內容則不然,內容其實在講一個被拋棄的男人,他並不太清楚為何他的前女友要離開他,然而他並沒有很直截了當地表示他很傷心,他反而說等到他自由後會有很多女孩來追他,這樣的話他的前女友就會後悔的。雖然嘴上是這樣講但當然聽起來是很可悲的,而在第二段裡有一句"Just to feel a little bit better about myself 只是為了讓我自己覺得好一點 And I do, baby I do I do I do 而我真的覺得好多了呢 真的!真的!" 他在這句中多次重複 I do! I do! I do!,就像是他不停地想要說服自己「我真的有比較好了!」,但是不管怎麼講事實總是可悲的,再加上這首歌的歡樂配樂更是有種諷刺的感覺。
All the Pretty Girls 漂亮女孩們
(All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.)
(那些夜晚會出來玩的漂亮女孩們阿)
So I call your name, cross my fingers
我大喊你的名字 將我的手指交叉相纏
uncross the others, hesitate.
放開又再次握緊 躊躇猶豫著
I don't think straight with nothing to prove.
我是說,沒有證據的時候應該是不用太理性思考的吧?
I don't wanna say I'm leaving
我不想要毅然決然地離開
so I'll stay until the weekend.
所以我想我還是周末待完再走吧
And you can take all your things
這樣你就有時間把你的東西給收拾好
the boxes and rings
你的箱子 你的戒指
and get going.
然後自己離開
'Cause I've been waiting for...
因為其實我一直在等著呢
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
那些夜晚會出來瘋狂的漂亮女孩們
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
她們會為我瘋狂 全都愛我 用那種妳當初愛我的眼神
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
這時 你就會想收回你當時對我說的話了
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
我猜那時我的世界會正被漂亮女孩們佔領吧!
So I call you out
我開始喚起你的名字
Just to feel a little bit better about myself
只是為了讓我自己覺得好一點
And I do, baby I do I do I do
而我真的覺得好多了呢 真的!真的!
'Til their lips start to move,
一直到女孩們開始交談
and their friends wanna talk music
她們以及其他的朋友開始聊起那兒在播的音樂
I say "I've never heard the tune!"
我說:「我從沒聽過這首歌呢!」
But I have, I just hate the band
但其實我是在騙人 我有 只是我討厭這個樂團
'cause they remind me of you.
因為這樂團的音樂讓我想起妳啊
Every single night ends up the same,
現在 每一晚總是都這樣子慘兮兮地結束
I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.
我很努力地少說話 但是每到最後我都會談到妳
(Over and over and over)
(不停不停地談到)
I think it's striking me out.
這快要把我給逼瘋了!

you still wear boots and your hair is too long
