标题[旧文] Me and Emily - Rachel Proctor
时间Sun Mar 30 12:56:57 2008
之前在543也算是水怪,但是不营养的文章比较多,这两天在看以前的旧文,
顺便挑了几篇自己觉得比较有料的分享给大家~
---------------------------正文-----------------------------------
以家暴为背景的写实歌曲一直以来许多歌手都曾经演唱过,诠释上也各有千秋,
因为角度的不同,歌手表达出的情绪有愤怒也悲伤、有狂放也有内敛。
Rachel Proctor,虽然没有出色的嗓音,但在这首歌的情绪拿捏恰到好处,把身
为一名受害者的心境诠释得宜。歌词描述因受不了丈夫对她的辱骂及暴力,为了
不让女儿 emily同样也遭受到魔爪,所以她带着女儿离开伤心地。
三段的chorus明显的带出她心境的转变,从不假思索的逃出、想着未来如何和女
儿解释,到最後挥去阴霾面对展新的人生旅程,简短几句话,却能完整的表露出
内心的挣扎。

Me and Emily 我和艾蜜莉
Floorboard's filled with baby toys, 地板上散落着婴儿玩具
An' empty coke bottles an' coffee cups. 可乐空瓶和咖啡杯
Drivin' through the rain with no radio, 在雨中静静的开车
Tryin' not to wake her up. 怕把她吵醒
Cell 'phone says "low battery", 手机显示着"电源不足"
God, what if I break down? 万一我崩溃了怎麽办?
I'm just lookin' for an exit with a lotta lights, 我只想找个出口
A safe little interstate town. 一个安全的角落
Just a cheap hotel, 一间旅店
With a single bed, 有张床
And cable TV: 和电视机
Is good enough for me an' Emily. 对我和Emily已足够
Some day, when she's old enough, 总有一天
She's gonna start askin' questions about him. 她会问起关於他的事
Some kid at school brings his Dad for show an' tell, 学校同学会谈论起"父亲"
An' gets her little mind a-wonderin': 她幼小的心灵会产生疑问
"Where's my Daddy? Do I have one? "我的爸爸呢?我有吗?"
"Does he not love me like you do?" "他跟你一样很爱我吗?"
Maybe I'll find someone to love the both of us, 也许我该找个真正爱我们俩的人
An' I'll tell her when she's old enough to know the truth.
直到她够大时再说出事实
Will it break her heart? 她会伤心吗?
Will she understand, 她能了解我为何要离开吗?
That I had to leave? 那是
That's what was best for me an' Emily. 对我和Emily最好的选择
That house was never clean enough; 房子不够乾净
his dinner never warm enough. 晚餐不够温热
Nothing I did was ever good enough to make him happy.他从不满意我所做的每件事
So,I guess,he gave me what he thought I deserved, 我猜他已经表达出对我的回应
But it would kill me if he ever raised his hand to her.
但如果他把触手伸向她,
我会忍受不了
Big rigs are throwin' rain on my windshield, 猛烈的雨势拍打着挡风玻璃
An' I feel like they're laughin' at me. 似乎在嘲笑着我
Fin'lly the storm is lettin' up, 但风暴终究会停息
An' the mornin' is breakin' free. 晨曦破晓而出
It's a brand new day, 崭新的一天
It's a second chance. 新的抉择
Yesterday is just a memory, 对我和Emily来说
For me an' Emily. 昨日只是个回忆
Ah.
Floorboard's filled with baby toys, 地板上散落着婴儿玩具
An' empty coke bottles an' coffee cups. 可乐空瓶和咖啡杯
Least there's one good thing that he gave me, 至少他给了我唯一的好处
An' she's startin' to wake up. 她..慢慢醒了
