騎著鴕鳥的阿吉

 
Death Cab for Cuite 的  Tiny Vessels
在電腦裡亂點的時後找到了這一首歌
印象中專輯好像被我全砍了，就只剩下這一首歌


從一開始的鋼琴和主唱的那一句 “This is the moment that you know”
我就想起為甚麼只會留這首歌了…
我其實一直很喜歡這種緩拍節奏，但又強而有力的音樂
其實台灣這一類的歌也有許多不錯的
不過我比較少去聽就是了…

因為聽了太過癮了，就想試著翻譯歌詞
忙到兩三點還翻不出個大頭
果然翻譯這行真不好幹啊…
光是一句” she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me”
我就想了老半天的說

This is the moment that you know
That you told you loved her but you don't.
You touch her skin and then you think
That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.

I spent two weeks in Silverlake
The California sun cascading down my face
There was a girl with light brown streaks
And she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.
Yeah she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.

Wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking
As we moved together in the dark
And all the friends that i was telling
And all the playful misspellings
And every bite i gave you left a mark

Tiny vessels oozed into your neck
And formed the bruises
That you said you didn't want to fade
But they did and so did i that day


All i see are dark grey clouds
In the distance moving closer with every hour
So when you ask "was something wrong?"
That i think "you're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now.
No, we can't talk about it now."

So one last touch and then you'll go
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile, and it was cheap
And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me [x2]
