the a team 歌词
这首歌主要讲了社会底层贫苦交加身染毒瘾卖身为妓最终香消玉殒的一个女孩的故事
她天生美貌但梦想难酬为生活所迫而沉沦堕落最后因overdose(磕药过量)以外过世的悲剧一生
其实歌中并未讲述她曾付出多大的努力或因此死去
主要是哀婉女子境遇凄惨身世多舛过早凋零
推测是歌手作为叙述者的角色设定更多是作为一个旁观者
而非从全知的视角对主角的一生作全方位的描述
整首歌曲弥漫一种古典的淡淡的忧伤情怀
让人不禁想起莫泊桑笔下那些同样被侮辱被伤害的底层女性

The A Team
枕边陌路人
译:穏やかSeirios(保持尊重请不要删去谢谢)
White lips, pale face
苍白的唇,黯淡的面庞
Breathing in snowflakes
是吸入“雪花”留下的痕迹——
Burnt lungs, sour taste
肺部灼烧,酸腐的气味
Light's gone, day's end
光芒渐熄,一日又要结束
Struggling to pay rent
是苦苦为报酬挣扎的时间——
Long nights, strange men
长夜漫漫,陌生枕边人
And they say
人们说,
She's in the Class A Team
她是最受欢迎的姑娘之一
Stuck in her daydream
沉浸在她的梦中,
Been this way since 18
自十八岁始便一直如此未变
But lately her face seems
但近来,她的面庞似乎
Slowly sinking, wasting
渐渐消沉荒芜
Crumbling like pastries
像糕饼一般褶皱零碎
And they scream
她们呼喊
The worst things in life come free to us
生活为何对我们如此不公
Cos we're just under the upperhand
我们在整个社会的最底层
And go mad for a couple of grams
为几克粉末而不顾一切
And she don't want to go outside tonight
而今夜,她不想出去
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
在烟管中,她仿佛飘然回到故乡
Or sells love to another man
又如向另一个男人出卖了爱情
It's too cold outside
外面的世界太寒冷
For angels to fly
无法让天使飞翔
Angels to fly
让天使飞翔
Ripped gloves, raincoat
破旧手套,披裹著雨衣
Tried to swim and stay afloat
试图在游水时不落河底
Dry house, wet clothes
乾燥房间,浸湿的衣服
Loose change, bank notes
小额钞票,银行的帐单
Weary-eyed, dry throat
疲惫眼眸映衬著乾涩喉音
Call girl, no phone
想打给谁,却没有电话
And they say
人们说,
She's in the Class A Team
她是最受欢迎的姑娘之一
Stuck in her daydream
沉浸在她的梦中,
Been this way since 18
自十八岁始便一直如此未变
But lately her face seems
但近来,她的面庞似乎
Slowly sinking, wasting
渐渐消沉荒芜
Crumbling like pastries
像糕饼一般褶皱零碎
And they scream

The worst things in life come free to us

An angel will die

Covered in white

Closed eye

And hoping for a better life

This time, we'll fade out tonight
这次,我们在夜晚黯淡消退
Straight down the line
渐行渐远
And they say
