Jay-Z - Renegade (feat. Eminem)
中英歌詞翻譯 By Kani1021
Motherfuckers say that I'm foolish, I only talk about jewels
那些混蛋罵我白癡，我一字千金
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
你們這些智障真的有聽音樂？ 還是你只是隨便略過？
See, I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
看阿，你們毀掉的貧民窟改變了我
The same dude you gave nothin', I made somethin' doin'
同一個被你唾棄的傢伙，我仍靠自己成功
What I do, through and through and
我不斷締造佳績
I give you the news with a twist, it's just his ghetto point of view
我為你們報導新聞，只是從貧民窟角度出發
The renegade, you been afraid I penetrate pop culture
這反叛者，你深怕我轟動主流文化
Bring 'em a lot closer to the block where they pop toasters
使人們深入窺視槍火不斷的街區 （註1
And they live with they moms, got dropped roadsters
他們跟媽媽住在一起，卻開著敞篷跑車
From botched robberies, niggas crouched over
從拙劣的強盜案搶來，有時還被抓住
Mami's knocked up ‘cause she wasn't watched over
女孩意外懷孕了，因為沒人照顧她
Knocked down by some clown when child support knocked
被一些人渣搞砸人生，子女撫養費卻毫無著落
"No, he's not around." Now, how that sound to ya? Jot it down
「不，他跑走了。」現在這聽起來怎麼樣？ 我寫下歌詞
I bring you through the ghetto without ridin' round
帶你們逛過貧民窟，但不用開車繞
Hidin' down, duckin' strays from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
不用躲藏、避開流浪漢，就能知曉失意年輕人各自的困境
Just read a magazine that fucked up my day
我剛讀的雜誌毀了我的一天
How you rate music that thugs with nothin' relate to it?
你要怎麼評價貧苦的街頭痞子才懂的音樂？
I help them see they way through it—not you
我幫助他們堅持下去——不是你
Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes
你沒辦法撐過我這種生活
Bet everything you worth, you'll lose your tie and your shirt
用你的一切打賭，你絕對會失去你的財富名聲 （註2
Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen
因為我能述說給這些孩子，而他們虔誠傾聽
I ain't no politician, but I'll kick it with 'em a minute
我不是瘋狂政客，但我會讓他們在一秒愛上我
‘Cause, see, they call me a menace and if the shoe fits, I'll wear it
因為，看阿，他們說我是威脅，如果這是真的，我會接受
But if it don't, then y'all will swallow the truth, grin and bear it
但如果我不是，那你們就給我吞下事實然後閉嘴 （註3
Now who's the king of these rude, ludicrous, lucrative lyrics?
現在誰是這些粗俗、滑稽、吸金歌詞之王？
Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics
誰夠格承擔這地位，讓年輕人歡笑不止？
Usin' his music to steer it, sharin' his views and his merits?
能用他的音樂引領大家，或分享他的觀點與優點？
But there's a huge interference, they're sayin' you shouldn't hear it
但有個龐大的阻礙，他們說你不該聽這種音樂
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
也許我吐露的是仇恨，也許這是精神糧食
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
也許這是美好的音樂，我寫歌只為讓你們愛不釋手
But I'm debated, disputed, hated and viewed in America
但我在美國被爭論、反對、憎恨、看待成
As a motherfuckin' drug addict, like you didn't experiment?
一個他媽的毒蟲，說得好像你們沒參加過藥物試驗？ （註4
Nah, nah!—That's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
不，不！ 那就是你開始盯著鏡子中的自己
And see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrassed
看看你小時候是什麼樣子，你會因此尷尬無比
And I got nothin' to do but make you look stupid as parents
除了讓你看起來跟家長一樣笨以外，我沒什麼想做的
You fuckin' do-gooders, too bad you couldn't do good at marriage
你們這些政治正確理想家，連自己的婚姻都不理想
And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here?
你知道我付出多少才到達這地位嗎？
I don't think you do, so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo
我不覺得你知道，所以別轉台，臉貼到音響上洗耳恭聽
‘Cause here we go, he's Jigga-Jur-Jigga-Jih-Jigga
因為我們來了，他是Jigga-Jur-Jigga-Jih-Jigga （註5
And I'm the sinister Mr. Kiss-My-Ass is just a

註釋：
1.pop toasters 指開槍。
2.pants, shoes, tie, shirt 皆為上流階級的價值，Jay-Z 認為這些只會在辦公室裡寫音樂評論的人，如果到街頭上根本不堪一擊。
3.Em 雖然當時歌詞暴力粗俗，但那只是他的創作人格而已，他強調真正的自己並非如此。
而這裡或許有個小雙關，Em 叫那些haters swallow it (吞下去)，然後grin and bear it (苦笑並忍受)，有點像A片中女演員吞下精子後對鏡頭笑的動作。
4.當時 (2001) 大部分家長生於 60 與 70 年代，受反文化(counter-culture) 洗禮，有不小機會曾參與過類似的藥物實驗。（此條不確定）
5.Jigga 是 Jay-Z 的綽號，而此段玩的是Em 以前的歌的梗，My Name Is 的副歌。
6.基本上 kiss my ass ，跟 fuck you 差不多意思。
7.Jay-Z 曾在採訪中談到 hope 其實是指毒品，因得到槍枝當武器，現在他能上街頭做毒品買賣，餵飽自己了。
8.Dixie 是一首美國的民謠歌曲，對美國人耳熟能詳。
9.天主教有用聖水洗禮的儀式，而這裡除了溺死，還有讓 Em 閉嘴的意思。
這首歌收錄在 2001 年 Jay-Z 的 The Blueprint ，後來也收錄進 Em的精選專輯 Curtain Call 中，兩大饒舌巨星的合作，為我們帶來實力爆表的一首歌，兩人的 Flow 與歌詞皆是頂尖級別，如今來看依舊是經典不滅。
Renegade指的是不在乎主流社會的「反叛者」，兩人皆從社會底層出身，靠著音樂贏得一切，他們用這首歌對那些不食人間煙火，把他們的音樂貶成「不入流」的評論家送上最大的中指。
Jay-Z的歌我聽得不多，但這首歌真的是聽越多次越覺得這兩個人真的是天才，但我還是覺得 Em 贏了，他的押韻真的很變態。
最近台灣疫情很嚴重，我也一直待在家裡，雖然一樣要上課，但是翻譯進度應該可以更快一點，本來要學日文，但日檢應該會延期，所以想偷懶一下。
然後最近覺得反正我很閒，要不要把翻譯做成 Youtube影片，這樣曝光率也比較高，但感覺會花一點時間就是了，也要學一下怎麼做，而且最近好像會抓版權？雖然我是不會營利就是了，總之先這樣，有要做的話就會去做，感謝大家。
如果有任何翻譯錯誤，歡迎糾正指教。
