Selena Gomez - Rise 輕輕飄起

最近又回去聽<Rivival>這張專輯
突然發現Rise這首歌挺妙的
雖然Selena算是虔誠的基督教徒
這首歌和佛家的價值觀卻是非常相近
放下那些不公不義的總總
吸口氣喚回原本的理智與平靜
更有趣的是副歌澎湃的合音營造出眾人一同歌頌聖歌的情調
是非常特別的一首歌


You can stand beside the madness like a fallen tear
你可以如淚水一樣憤恨衝動
You can hold on to the sadness like a souvenir
也可以像紀念品一般留著悲傷
Or you can close your eyes
或者你可以閉上雙眼
And see your life
把人生看作是
Like the air
空氣一般

You can tap into the strength you never knew you had
你可以挖掘以往未知的力量
You can breathe into your faith no matter where you are
隨時隨地都能吸進你的信念
Just close your eyes and change your life
閉上雙眼、改變人生
Like the air
就像輕飄飄的空氣

Like the air you can
像空氣一般
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
你可以輕飄飄地從一連串腦中的雜訊中掙脫
You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer
你可以如潮汐、夏日熱浪般自由地流動
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
是的,我懂總是有人會讓你覺得很糟
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
但是你可以選擇智慧,為自己的修養感到驕傲
You can rise
你可以選擇宛如空氣
like the air you can rise
輕輕浮起

The earth can pull you down with all its gravity
地球可以用盡萬有引力將你往下拉
And the measure of your worth is sometimes hard to see
而有時也很難看出自己的價值
So just hold on, when the night is done
再等一等,當夜晚退去
Like the sun
就如太陽
Like the air you can
宛如空氣

Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
輕輕一躍你可以從雜念中脫離
You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer
你可以如潮汐或夏日的熱浪來去自如
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
我明白總是有些人會讓你覺得很糟
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
但是你也可以選擇智慧,為自己的修養驕傲
You can rise, like the air you can rise
如同空氣輕輕飄起

So even when your bones feel like weights
即使全身提不起勁
And it’s hard to lift the smile on your perfect face
你完美的臉上擠不出笑容
You can still find a peaceful place
還是可以找到一個舒適圈
Close your eyes until you're floating up in outer space
閉上眼睛,想像在外太空漂浮
It’ll be alright, they’re just jealous of your highs
一切都會沒事的,只是他們忌妒你的高雅
So they can knock you down, but
他們可以擊敗你

Like the air you can
但你也能如空氣一般
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
瀟灑從雜念中掙脫
You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer
像是潮汐或夏日中的熱浪來去自如
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
我知道總是有人會使你失望
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
但是你也能選擇智慧,為自己的修養感到驕傲
You can rise
你可以宛如空氣
like the air you can rise
輕輕飄起
Like the air you can rise
如空氣瀟灑飄起


你可以生氣,可以難過,我們通通都能理解,因為我們都是在同一條艱辛的道路上,但是別忘了,你還有另一個選擇,你可以從煩雜之中掙脫,繼續為信念努力!

Selena Gomez - Who Says 誰說

相信不少人聽過這首歌

MV不知道看過幾百次,竟然現在才發現小彩蛋,也算是整首歌想要給人的啟發,影片中除了出現許多歌詞相關的單字,幾個拼湊起來會是兩句很有意思的話"Don't judge a book by its cover." 別以貌取人 "True beauty lies beneath the surface." 真正的美麗藏在表面底下。

P!nk - Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken 碎不了我的勇敢之心

恐懼、憤怒、受傷
不但沒有成為我的阻力
反而化為爭取自由之路的養分
將玻璃心磨練成金剛不壞之身
因為除了堅強我別無其他選擇


I will have to die for this I fear
恐怕得為此付出我的生命
There's rage and terror and there's sickness here
此地憤怒、恐懼、疾病猖狂
I fight because I have to
我不得不挺身而戰
I fight for us to know the truth
為了揭開事實而戰

There's not enough rope to tie me down
再多繩索都無法讓我罷休
There's not enough tape to shut this mouth
再多膠帶也無法使我閉嘴
The stones you throw can make me bleed
你的攻擊或許使我傷痕累累
But I won't stop until we're free
但自由之前我是不會停止
Wild hearts can't be broken
怎樣也打擊不了我勇敢的心
No, wild hearts can't be broken
傷不了我的勇敢之心

This is my rally cry
這就是革命的起點
I know it's hard, we have to try
儘管困難,依然得努力嘗試
This is a battle I must win
這是場敗不得的戰爭
To want my share is not a sin
渴望平等不是種罪過

There's not enough rope to tie me down
層層屏障皆阻擋不了我
There's not enough tape to shut this mouth
暴力也止不了我的聲音
The stones you throw can make me bleed
你的抨擊使我體無完膚
But I won't stop until we're free
但自由之前我是不會罷休
Wild hearts can't be broken
勇敢之心是怎樣也傷不了的
No, wild hearts can't be broken
傷不了我的勇敢之心

You beat me, betray me
抨擊我、背叛我
You're losing, we're winning
最終卻是你輸給我
My spirit above me
我堅韌的靈魂
You cannot deny me
你無可否認
My freedom is burning
自由之火熊熊燃燒
This broken world keeps turning
扭曲的世界不停轉動
I'll never surrender
我絕不輕易投降
There's nothing, but a victory
除了勝利別無選擇

There's not enough rope to tie me down
再多屏障都阻擋不了我
There's not enough tape to shut this mouth
暴力也無法封住我的嘴
The stones you throw can make me bleed
一次次的攻擊使我遍體鱗傷
But I won't stop until we're free
自由來臨之前我絕不會罷工
Wild hearts can't be broken
勇敢之心是碎不了的
Wild hearts can't be broken
傷不了我的勇敢之心
This wild heart can't be broken
無論如何都傷不了我的勇敢的心
