18 and life歌词
Skid Row的《18 and life》,这首歌充满了对18岁的回忆。
Ricky was a young boy,
Ricky是个年轻的少年
he had a heart of stone.
他有一副铁石心肠
lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
过着朝九晚五的生活,工作压榨直至骨髓
just barely got out of school
只想摆脱学校
came from the edge of town.
来自城镇的边缘
fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
打起架来像一把蝴蝶刀,因此无人能敌
he had no money, oooh no good at home.
他身无分文,哦,在家也不安分
he walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
他走在街上像一个斗士,独自与这个世界抵抗
18 and life you got it
拥有是十八岁的生命
18 and life you know
十八岁你是知道的
your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
时间是你的罪过,还有十八岁与生活要过呢
(music)
tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.
心脏里龙舌兰酒在沸腾,血管里汽油在燃烧
it kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
这使得他的坐骑不断奔驰,但并不能洗涤他的罪恶
they say he loved adventure,"ricky's the wild one."
他们说他喜欢冒险,“ricky天生是野东西”
he married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
他婚姻出了问题,于是把感情寄托在了枪上
bang bang shoot'em up, the party never ends.
砰!砰!向他们射击,疯狂的舞会永不会结束
you can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
当你酒醉未醒,你永远也不会害怕死亡
18 and life you got it
拥有是十八岁的生命
18 and life you know
十八岁你是知道的
your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
时间是你的罪过,还有十八岁与生活要过呢
"accidents will happen" they all heard ricky say
“意外将会发生”,他们总听到ricky这样讲
he fired his six-shot to the wind that child blew a child away.
他向虚空开出六枪,预示着一个孩子的蜕变
18 and life you got it
拥有是十八岁的生命
18 and life you know
十八岁你是知道的
your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
时间是你的罪过,还有十八岁与生活要过呢
yeah.....yeah......
ooh.......ooh.......
很显然,ricky是一个问题少年,是和我完全处于不同世界的同龄人。但是,这首歌给了我很多触动,我看到了每个少年的叛逆、生活、爱情,以及一种对于即将成年的措手不及感。他拥有每个少年所共同具有的特征的纯粹性,就好像柏拉图的理念。
我内心的ricky是个年轻、内心坚硬的少年,很明显我们看到他虽然在上学,可是已经为了帮助家里而工作了。过早的接触社会,或许让他极度厌学,好勇逞斗。我可以想象他时常孤独地一个人在街上游弋,无所事事。他感到整个世界极度的不正常,或许他的存在就是一个错误,因为整个世界都在和他作对。于是,他选择酗酒、飙车、冒险,因为酒精、速度、对生命有所威胁的刺激感,这些都让他暂时忘记存在感。当精力不在生活上停留的时候,或许就不容易意识到自身的虚无感吧。他为了刺激、或是为了防身,甚至找来了一把枪,以壮声势。整首歌我最喜欢这一句“he fired his six-shot to the wind that child blew a child away.”,其象征意义强到让我落泪。他那可怜的感情生活,我想所有女人都是怕他的吧。
几乎所有人在18岁的时候,和ricky的境遇都是十分不同的吧。可是,我们内心又何尝不是和ricky一样。迫于环境,ricky做了我们未曾做过的事情罢了。有时候听歌,你不可以像做数学题那样认真,分清你我。你渴望生活、爱情、友谊吗?那你就把自己当做ricky。
lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
刚刚走出校园,来自边缘小镇
fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
打架时如刀子一般,没人能弄到他
he had no money, oooh no good at home.
没钱,在家里也他妈地不安分
he walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
and now it's
像个士兵一样走在街上,孤独抵抗着世界
18 and life you got it
拥有是十八岁的生命
18 and life you know
十八岁你是知道的
your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
时间是你的罪过,还有十八岁与生活要过呢
tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.
心跳里夹杂着酒味,嘴巴里一股汽油味
it kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
摩托在跑,但人从未干净过
they say he loved adventure,"ricky's the wild one."
他们说他喜欢冒险:"OH,RICKY是个他妈的野孩子."
he married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
遇到麻烦?用枪解决掉吧
bang bang shoot'em up, the party never ends.
BANG!BANG!弄死他们吧,反正晚会不会停.
you can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
你不能想到死,因为酒瓶现在是你的挚友
"accidents will happen" they all heard ricky say
he fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.
"总会发生意外的."他们都听见RICKY这么说来着
对着天空打上两枪吧,赶走旁边吵闹的小孩
有些重复的看着上面的就知道了
