The Chainsmokers(老菸槍雙人組) 與 Coldplay(酷玩樂團)
於 2017 年聯手推出的這首《Something Just Like This》,
收錄在 The Chainsmokers 的首張專輯
《Memories...Do Not Open》中。
這首歌當年的跨界合作簡直是「核彈級」的,
一邊是稱霸舞池的 EDM 巨頭,
一邊是體育館等級的搖滾天團。
但最迷人的地方在於,儘管音樂充滿了電音爆發力,
Chris Martin 的歌詞卻寫得極其平實且動人。
超級英雄與凡人:
歌詞列舉了一堆神話英雄(阿基里斯、海克力斯)和
超級英雄(蜘蛛人、蝙蝠俠、超人),
但最後卻回歸到一個平凡人的心聲:
「我不需要那些超能力,
我只需要一個能轉身依靠、能親吻的人。」
年輕時我們都想當拯救世界的超人,
想做出一番驚天動地的事業;但到了一個年紀才懂,
能每天回家有個牽掛的人,
能過上「Just something I can turn to」
(一個可以轉身依靠的人)的生活,
才是真正的英雄。
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths
我一直在讀那些古老的書籍,關於傳說與神話
Achilles and his gold, Hercules and his gifts
阿基里斯與他的榮耀金牌,海克力斯與他的天生神力
Spider-Man's control and Batman with his fists
蜘蛛人的精準掌控,還有靠雙拳執法的蝙蝠俠
And clearly, I don't see myself upon that list
很顯然地,我發現自己並不在那份英雄清單上(我只是個凡人)
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
But she said, "Where d'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?"
但她對我說:「你想去哪?你願意冒多大的險?」
I'm not lookin' for somebody with some superhuman gifts
「我並不是在找尋一個擁有超凡神力的人」
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
「不是什麼超級英雄,也不是童話故事般的完美幻境」
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss
「我只要一個我能轉身依靠、一個我能親吻的人」
I want something just like this
「我想要的,就是像這樣平凡的幸福」
[Build: Chris Martin]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
喔,我要的就是這樣的愛
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
我想要的就是這樣的感覺
[Drop: Chris Martin]
I want something just like this
我想要的就是像這樣的愛
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths
我翻閱著那些古老典籍,讀著傳說與神話
The testaments they told, the moon and its eclipse
書中記載的聖約,還有關於月食的奇觀
And Superman unrolls a suit before he lifts
看著超人在起飛前,帥氣地換上他的超人裝
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
但我知道,那套衣服我穿起來並不合身(我不是那塊料)
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
She said, "Where d'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?"
她說:「你想去哪裡?你敢冒多大的風險?」
I'm not lookin' for somebody with some superhuman gifts
「我找的並不是一個擁有超能力的人」
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
「不是什麼超級英雄,也不是童話裡的虛幻幸福」
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can miss
「我只要一個能讓我依靠、一個能讓我掛念的人」
I want something just like this
「我要的就是像這樣真切的愛」
[Drop: Chris Martin]
I want something just like this
我要的就是像這樣的幸福
Oh, I want something just like this
喔,我想要的就是這樣
[Bridge: Chris Martin]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
喔,我想要的就是像這樣的愛
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Where d'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?
妳想去哪?妳願意付出多少代價?
I'm not lookin' for somebody with some superhuman gifts
我並非在尋覓一個擁有超凡神力的人
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
不是什麼超級英雄,也不是童話般的幻境
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss
我只要一個我能依靠、一個我能親吻的人
I want something just like this
我要的就是像這樣的愛
[Build: Chris Martin]
Oh, I want something just like this
喔,我要的就是這樣的幸福
[Drop: Chris Martin]
Oh, I want something just like this
喔,我想要的就是這樣
Oh, I want something just like this
喔,我要的就是像這樣的愛

nice song
回覆刪除(歌词中,主人公认为自己不够好,他把自己和半神与超级英雄比较。自觉沮丧。而他女友鼓励他,并说出自己简单愿望。然而,他没有理会女友的话。又与神迹、奇迹和超人〈现代神>比较。女友依然如初。)

Achilles and his gold

(诗书上阿喀琉斯与黄金并没有紧密的联系,他一面盾是镶金的。但这里可能用他战斗中缴获的战利品影射他不朽的功绩。这是在后天努力得来的丰功伟绩,与下面一句大力神的天赋有相互衬托的关系)
Hercules and his gifts
