Taylor Swift - Only The Young 唯有青年


讀了解析才知道這首是獻給美國青年的催票歌,但是我覺得藝術很妙的是它還是有很多解讀的空間,也很歡迎聽眾對號入座以產生共鳴,建立新一層的連結和記憶。


It keeps me awake, the look on your face
你臉上的神情使我睡不著覺
The moment you heard the news
當你接到消息
You're screaming inside and frozen in time
內心尖叫的片刻彷彿時間凍結
You did all that you could do
你盡可能嘗試了
The game was rigged, the ref got tricked
矇過裁判那卑鄙的遊戲
The wrong ones think they’re right
惡者視己為善
You were outnumbered this time
這次是你們寡不敵眾

But only the young, only the young
但唯有青年
Only the young, only the young
唯有青年
Can run
能去闖
Can run
有所行動
So run, and run, and run
所以放膽奔跑吧

So every day now
每一天起
You brace for the sound you've only heard on TV
你為電視上的聲響膽戰心驚
You go to class, scared
對上學有陰影
Wondering where the best hiding spot would be
心想著哪裡是最好的藏身之處
And the big bad man and his big bad clan
而大壞蛋和他的那夥人
Their hands are stained with red
雙手皆染了紅
Oh, how quickly they forget
沒多久他們便忘了教訓

They aren't gonna help us
他們並不會朝我們伸出援手
Too busy helping themselves
只忙著照顧自己
They aren't gonna change this
他們並不會有所改變
We gotta do it ourselves
我們得親自實踐
They think that it's over
他們以為尾聲來臨
But it's just begun
卻才剛開始呢

Only one thing can save us
唯一的救贖者
Only the young [x12]
唯有青年
(Don't say you're too tired to fight)
別說你心累了
(It's just a matter of time)
時間會證明一切
(Up there's the finish line)
離終點不遠了
Only the young
唯有青年
Can run
可以盡情奔跑

Don't say you're too tired to fight
別說你懶得戰
It's just a matter of time (Can run)
時間會證明一切 (有能闖)
Up there's the finish line (So run, and run, and run)
終點不遠了 (就奮力奔馳吧)
Don't say you're too tired to fight
別說你懶得努力
It's just a matter of time (So run)
時間會證明一切 (去闖吧)
Up there's the finish line (And run, and run, and run)
終點已經不遠了 (闖蕩世界不停歇)

Only the young [x3]
唯有青年


況且我相信歌詞上說的青年並不只是年紀較輕的朋友們,只要保有一顆年輕的心,人人也可以用力去闖,去打造一個我們所嚮往的世界。
