LDN
Riding through the city on my bike all day
Cause the filth took away my license
It doesn't get me down and I feel OK
Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless
整天騎著我的腳踏車穿越這城市
還不都是那王八警察沒收我的駕照
我很好這嚇不倒我
因為路過這些景色從我眼中看來極其珍貴
Everything seems to look as it should
But I wonder what goes on behind doors
A fella looking dapper, but he's sitting with a slapper
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore
所有的事看什麼像什麼
但我超想知道後門怎走
這傢伙看起來衣冠楚楚 但他和個蕩婦坐在一起
接著我仔細一看是個皮條客和他訓練有素的妓女
You might laugh you might frown
Walkin' round London town
你也許笑個兩三聲不感意外皺個眉
徘徊倫敦街頭
[Chorus]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
為何太陽高高掛
我卻不知何處去
為何太陽天空照
難道我能往別處走
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies
當你用自己眼睛看
每件事看起來很美好
但你再看第二遍
你可以看到這一切充滿著謊言
There was a little old lady, who was walking down the road
She was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people from the city having lunch in the park
I believe that it's called al fresco
Then a kid came along to offer a hand
有個身材嬌小的老婦人走在街頭
她使力提著從特易購買來的大包小包
公園的人們正享受著野餐
我相信這景象就像幅壁畫
然後有個孩子走過來伸出手
But before she had time to accept it
hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead
Cause he's got all her jewelery and wallet
但當她來不及反應時
孩子重擊她的頭不管她死活
因為他拿走所有珠寶和錢包
You might laugh you might frown
walking round London town
你也許苦笑也許皺眉
徘徊在倫敦街頭
[Chorus]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
為何太陽高高掛
我卻不知何處去
為何太陽天空照
難道我能往別處走
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies
當你用自己眼睛看
每件事看起來很美好
但你再看第二遍
你可以看到這一切充滿著謊言
Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life
Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life
生活 是啊 那就是城市生活
生活 是啊 那就是城市生活
[Chorus x2]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
為何太陽高高掛
我卻不知何處去
為何太陽天空照
難道我能往別處走
[x2]
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
You can see it's all lies
當你用自己眼睛看
每件事看起來很美好
但你再看第二遍
你可以看到這一切充滿著謊言
MV內容是莉莉艾倫進去一家店逛到一半,
接到一通心上人打來的電話要她赴約,
她開心的走出店外,走在城鎮上的她經過每個角落,倫敦就從黑白變成彩色的,
當她又唱又跳的走到最後,卻突然又接到電話,原來她被放鴿子了,
最後城市的景象從美麗的彩色變回灰暗凋零的景象。
最近老愛聽這首歌,L i l y A l l e n 的 L D N ,曲風很輕快歌詞卻充滿諷刺,
去查了一下,L D N 是 LONDON倫敦的簡寫,也是所謂的火星文,難怪看不懂。
自己翻譯過一遍後原來又是暗裱,我嚇到了。
