ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - FIREWORKS

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - FIREWORKS from Jon Leone on Vimeo.

Now it's day, I've been trying to get that taste off my tongue
 I was dreaming of just you, now our cereal, it is warm
 Attractive day in the rubble of the night from before
 Now I can't walk in a vacuum, I feel ugly, feel my pores
 It's the trees of this day that I do battle with for the light
 Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite
 "What's the day?" "What are you doing?"
 "How's your mood?" "How's that song?"
 Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
 And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired
 It's family beaches that I desire
 A sacred night, where we'll watch the fireworks
 The frightened babies poo
 They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
 They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes.

I've been eating with a good friend who said
 "A Genii made me out of the earth's skin"
 But in spite of her she is my birth kin,
 she spits me out in her surely blood rivers
 All the people life lurking in dominions of a hot Turk dish
 If elephants are reaching for our purses, then meet me after the world with the shivers.

"What's the day?" "What you doing?"
 "How's your food?" "How's that song?"
 Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
 And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
 That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
 They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
 And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that you're only what I see sometimes.
 And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
 That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
 They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
 And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that I'm only what I see sometimes.









現在是白天了，我一直試著將舌頭上的味道趕跑
我一直夢見你，夢到我早餐麥片都不冰了
從前夜晚的礫石堆中有迷人的一天
現在我已不能自知空虛地行走，我感覺醜陋，感覺到皮膚上的孔洞
為了那天的樹，我為了光而為它戰鬥
然後我感覺悲慘，人們向我打招呼，我保持禮貌
＂你今天好嗎？＂＂你過得如何？＂
＂你感覺如何？＂＂你喜歡這首歌嗎？＂
這些話語逕拋向我，然後遠去，現在已都消失了
我不能再支持著你了，因為我的心好累
我所渴望的只是和家人一起去海灘走走

在神聖的夜晚，在那裡，我們會一起看煙火
有些嬰兒嚇得拉肚子了
嬰兒有一雙閃亮的眼睛，各種顏色的眼睛
可為什麼
他們讓我覺得，我只不過是自己隨機所看見的事物罷了

我和一個好朋友一起吃東西，她說
＂那些個天才們讓我擺脫地球表面 ！＂
可不管那些，她真可算是我的血親
她將我唾棄在她明白的血緣之外
大部分人們的生活只不過就是汲汲營營於擁有一盤土耳其菜
如果大象在找我們的錢包，那就在世界結束之後顫抖著與我相會吧

＂你今天好嗎？＂＂你過得如何？＂＂你感覺如何？＂＂你喜歡這首歌嗎？＂
這些話語逕拋向我，然後遠去，現在已都消失了
我不能再支持著你了，因為我的心好累
我所渴望的只是和家人一起去海灘走走

在神聖的夜晚，在那裡，我們一起看了煙火
煙火嚇壞了嬰兒們 -- 你知道嬰兒，他們，有一雙閃亮的眼睛
如果 -- 他們 -- 其實是色盲呢？
如果是那樣，那麼，
我會覺得，你也只不過是我偶然所看見的事物罷了

New Order - Temptation

 

 

 

 

 

 

A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say

Up, down, turn around

Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

 

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me
From time to time, I find I've lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe

 

Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

 

Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes

 

And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh no, I've never met anyone quite like you before

 

 

 

 

 

 

天堂、入口、希望
 就像一種內在深處的感覺
 這可不是開玩笑
 即使那麼對你深深刺痛了我
 從未親耳聽過的背叛的話語，如此難以啟齒

要嘛往上跳，要嘛墜到底
 或是轉個身
 總之，拜託你別讓我摔落地
 我想今晚我會獨自走路回家
 在路上我將會找到我的靈魂

不論我轉往哪個方向，我知道我會繼續嘗試下去
 打破我所處的此地包圍著我的牢籠
 有些時候我發現自己失去了某些欲望
 我想這是一個對自身的警示
 我真的這麼認為

要嘛往上跳，要嘛墜到底
 或是轉個身
 總之，拜託你別讓我摔落地
 我想今晚我會獨自走路回家
 在路上我將會找到我的靈魂

噢，你有一雙綠眼睛
 噢，你有一雙藍眼睛
 噢，你有一雙灰眼睛

我從來沒有遇過像你這樣的人
 不，我從來沒有遇過像你這樣的人

從上面奮力一躍，跳到底下那些人身上
 世界上的這些人們哪！我們確實是無處可去了
 噢，我想這是最後一次了
 噢，我從來沒有遇過像你這樣的人
 噢不，我從來沒有遇過像你這樣的人

Grizzly Bear - Ready, Able

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m gonna take a stab at this
 Surely we’ll be alright
 Make a decision with a kiss
Maybe I have frostbite
 And when I shuffled on back home

I made sure all my tracks in the snow were gone
 Tissue and bone it was a tryst
 This isn’t a gunfight
 Checking it off of my list
 Unable to write
 Five years, countless months and a loan

Hope I’m ready, able to make my own, good home

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.
 

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

我打算要試試看
 我確信我們會沒事
 用輕輕一吻作出決定
 也許我在雪裡凍傷了
 我在回家的路上這樣迤迤拖行

 一邊確認所有雪上的鞋印都已消失
 我的身體
 我的組織
 我的骨頭
 他們幽會?
 他們不是在槍戰
 從清單上取消吧
 無以名狀
 無以計數的年年月月，以及尚未償還的...



希望我已準備好能夠，為我自己，創造一個
 屬於自己的歸屬 . .



當我們這樣追隨著他們
 我想讓你知道
 我的過去，我做過的，我確實地做過了的這些 ....

Pixies - Where is my Mind

where is my mind

/
/
/

Oh - stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
 Try this trick and spin it, yeah
 Your head will collapse
 But there's nothing in it
 And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind

Way out in the water
 See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
 Animals were hiding behind the rocks
 Except the little fish
 But they told me, he swears
 Tryin' to talk to me, coy koi.

Where is my mind ?

Way out in the water
 See it swimmin' ?

喔！住手

腳在空中，頭抵地
試這招，然後，旋轉！
你的頭會裂開
可裡頭什麼都沒有
然後你問你自己
我的心呢？
我的心呢？
我的心在哪裡呢？

就在水裡
看著它游泳

我在加勒比海游泳的時候
動物們都躲在石頭後
除了一隻小魚
但聽說，牠發誓
牠曾試著和我說話 ..

Jeff Buckley - Dream Brother

There is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled

The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes blew goodbyes
With her head in her hands
and your kiss on the lips of another
Dream Brother, with your tears scattered round the world.

Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came...

I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
Your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
Your eyes to the ground
and the world spinning round forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over...

一個孩子倚著他的雙生兄弟沉睡著
這景象在風起時變了調
因為黑暗天使伸手撥亂了一切
在伸展開來的黑色羽翼下注視著他們

在她奶油色秀髮間的氣流中
你迷失於她白皙肌膚的這份愛是如此自在
而她綠色的雙眸流露出道別的訊息
她手心裡捧著她的頭
而你
一邊在世界之上灑下眼淚，一邊吻上了別的唇
我夢中的兄弟

別變得像那個使我如此蒼老的人
別變得像他，徒留下空洞的名
因為 -- 有人正在等著你
就像我也正在等著什麼
但甚至從未有人出現 ...

我擔憂你
我呼喚你
我愛你的聲音，和你狂亂的舞姿
我聽見你的話語，我明白你的痛楚
當你捧著自己的頭，她正吻上別人的唇
你往地上看
世界還會永遠旋轉下去
在沙上沉沉熟睡，伴隨著海洋的反覆淘洗 ...

引自wiki:

It is believed to be a song about a warning to a good friend, his "Dream Brother", from walking out on his pregnant girlfriend in a similar way to Jeff's own father, evidenced in the line, "Don't be like the one who made me so old".

Jeff Buckley - Forget Her

while this town is busy sleeping
all the noises died away
i walk the streets to stop my weeping
‘cause she'll never change her ways

don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
my heart feels so still
as i try to find the will to forget her somehow
oh i think i've forgotten her now

her love is a rose pale and dying
dropping her petals and men unknown
all full of wine the world before her
or sober with no place to go

don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
my heart is frozen still
cause i try to find the will to forget her somehow
she's somewhere out there now

oh my tears are falling down as i try to forget
her love was a joke from the day that we met
all of the words all of the men
all of my pain when i think back to when
remember her hair as it shone in the sun
the smell of the bed when i knew what she'd done
tell yourself over and over you wont ever need her again

But don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
oh my heart is frozen still
as i try to find the will to forget her somehow
she's out there somewhere now

oh
she was heartache from the day that i first met her
my heart is frozen still
as i try to find the will to forget you somehow
cause i know you're somewhere out there right now

當這城市忙著沉睡，萬籟俱寂的時刻
我走上街頭，試著停止哭泣
因為她永遠不會改變

不要自欺欺人
從你遇見她的那一刻起，她就是你心痛的原因
不知怎麼
當我試著忘記她，我的心感覺如此平靜
噢，我想我已經忘了她了吧

她的愛是一朵蒼白的，枯死的玫瑰
掉落著花瓣，無人知曉
有她在的世界像是盛滿了葡萄酒
而清醒時，我無處可去

不要自欺欺人
從你遇見她的那一刻起，她就是你心痛的原因
為了努力忘記她，我的心冷若冰霜
然而此刻她已身在某個未竟之處

當我試著遺忘時噢，我的眼淚這時掉了下來
當我回想起那段時光，我知道
自從我們相遇的那天起，她的愛便是個笑話
所有這些字句，所有她的男人們，所有我的痛苦
記得那時，她的髮絲在陽光下閃耀
還有那床上的氣息，就是那時，我已經知道了她的一切

你要一遍一遍地告訴自己，不，你再也不需要她

不要自欺欺人
從你遇見她的那一刻起，她就是你心痛的原因
噢，反正
當我試著忘記她，我的心冷若冰霜
此刻她已身在某個未竟之處

噢，
從我遇見她的那一刻起，她就是...我的心痛
無論如何
當我試著忘記你，我的心冷若冰霜
因為我知道，此刻你已身在某個未竟之處

如果
可以的話
我真的很想
請柯仁堅先生
來翻譯這首歌
但是因為我不能
所以我只好
自己來...






每次我把它拉出來
我都覺得好噁心
我今天幹不下去了
為什麼感覺這麼爽
男人可以偷拐搶騙
只為了被舔一下

假裝　你喜歡它　讓我升天
握緊一點　矜住　讓我不虛此生

每次我把它拉出來
我都覺得好噁心
我今天幹不下去了
為什麼
說謊
還有舔你
會感覺這麼爽


握著它　把它弄大　想像你是它　在你
喜歡它之前
要不就恨它
起碼讓我舒坦點－－

為什麼！幹啊．．．．到底天殺的為什麼！！！！！！！

假裝一下也好　然後就會喜歡了　然後再喜歡一次－－

我看著你　你看著我　你轉過頭
我看著你看著我　你轉過頭
我看著你　然後你看著我　然後你轉過頭
我看著你　你看著我　你轉過頭

The Sundays - You're Not the Only One I Know

我，又不是只認識你一個


Harriet Wheeler ♥ ♥ ♥





where's the harm in voicing a doubt
you'll find me in the lavatory
and where's the harm in talking out loud when I'm on my own
what's so wrong with reading my stars
when I'll be in the lavatory
and what is so wrong with counting the cars when I'm all alone

you're not the only one that I know
and I'm too proud to talk to you anyway
you're not the only one that I know
and I'm far too proud to talk to you any day

so I say I'm in love with the world
and what is so wrong with voicing a doubt when I'm on my own
it's perfectly fine to sleep in a chair
from Monday 'til Saturday
and what is so wrong with talking out loud when I'm all alone

you're not the only one that I know
and I'm too proud to talk to you anyway
you're, you're not the only one that I know
but I'm far too proud to talk to you any day

so they rode out west to the seaside
and they gladly decided to stay
after two hours wandering outside
ooh the sea air drove them away, yeah

you're not the only one that I know
and I'm too proud to talk to you anyway
you're not the only one that I know
and I'm far too proud to talk to you any day

you're not the only one
but I'm far too proud you're (son)

you're young
but I know, I know, I know, I know
I'm far too proud to talk to you any day
but if you do, don't you know
that I don't mind, no, no, no

話語裡哪有什麼會傷害我
你將會在洗手間裡找到我
當我孤獨一人，再怎麼吵嚷都傷害不了我
閱讀我自己的星星，又哪裡有錯
我將會在洗手間裡
如果我這麼孤獨，數數車子，又有什麼關係

你又不是我認識的唯一一個人
而我是如此高傲，竟怯於和你說話
你不是我認識的唯一一個人
而我，如果能與你說說話，將會得意得要命

那麼，當我說我愛上這個世界了
那麼，當我獨自一人時，表達一下我的懷疑，會有多奇怪？
在椅子上睡著實在再完美不過
從星期一睡到星期六
如果我這麼孤獨，自己一人說話大聲點又有什麼關係

你又不是我認識的唯一一個人
而我是如此高傲，竟怯於和你說話
你...你不是我認識的唯一一個人
但我，如果能與你說說話，將會得意得要命

然後他們開車往西去海邊
他們開心地決定在那兒過夜
兩個小時後，他們就在外邊溜答了
噢，海邊的空氣，使盡地翻捲了他們，耶！

你又不是我認識的唯一一個人
而我是如此高傲，竟怯於和你說話
你不是我認識的唯一一個人
而我，如果能與你說說話，將會得意得要命

你不是那唯一一個
但我....很榮幸地說，你確實是，我親愛的男孩

你好年輕
但我知道，我真的知道
如果能跟你說上話，我真的會非常得意
但是，如果你真的和我說話了，你難道不知道
我一點都不在意你
真的

Dominique A & Yann Tiersen - Monochrome

在讀[愛情沒那麼美好]，看到作者說書名來自Dominique A的某首歌曲
就想起這首非常美的歌
之前沒看歌詞，只覺得隱約是悲傷又美好的旋律與感情
翻譯了歌詞，原來是分手後的寂寞告白．．．．

MV拍得好棒 QQ
確實很像[愛情沒那麼美好]書裡的畫面


Anyway, i can try anything it's the same circle that leads to nowhere and i'm tired now.
anyway, i've lost my face, my dignity, my look, all of these things are gone and i'm tired now.
but don't be scared, i found a good job and i go to work every day on my old bicycle you loved.
i'm pilling up some unread books under my bed and i really think i'll never read again.
no concentration, just a white disorder everywhere around me, you know i'm so tired now.
but don't worry i often go to dinners and parties with some old friends who care for me, take me back home and stay.
mochrome floors, monochrome walls, only abscence near me, nothing but silence around me.
monochrome flat, monochrome life, only abscence near me, nothing but silence around me.
sometimes i search an event or something to remember, but i've really got nothing in mind.
sometimes i open the windows and listen people walking in the down streets. there is a life out there.
but don't be scared, i found a good job and i go to work every day on my old bicycle you loved.
anyway, i can try anything it's the same circle that leads to nowhere and i'm tired now.

單 色調

無論如何，我再怎麼去嘗試每件事，這相同的循環哪裡也不能帶我去，而我現在累了
無論如何，我已失去了我的臉孔，我的身分，我的樣子，這些都沒了，而我現在累了
但，請別怕，我已找到一份好工作，我每天都騎那部你喜愛的舊腳踏車去上班
我將一些沒讀過的書塞在枕頭下，我真的覺得我不會去讀它們了
我無法專注，只有一陣蒼白的騷動圍繞著我，而你知道，我現在真的好累
但，請別擔心，我照常和老朋友們晚餐，也去派對玩，
他們都很關心我，還帶我回家，過夜陪我

失去色彩的地板，失去色彩的牆壁，我和失神緊靠依偎；四週除了寂靜之外，一無他物
失去色彩的公寓，失去色彩的人生，我和空白緊靠依偎；四週除了寂靜之外，一無他物

偶爾我想找出一件値得回憶的事情或物品，但我真的想不起來
有時我打開窗戶，聽人們在樓下走路的聲音，感覺那裡有個新生活在等我

Cocorosie - Beautiful Boys

Antony :
Those, those beautiful boys
Those, those beautiful boys

Cocorosie :
Born illegitimately
To a whore, most likely
He became an orphan
Oh what a lovely orphan he was
Sent to the reformatory
Ten years old, was his first glory
Got caught stealing from a nun
Now his love story had begun

Thirty years he spent wandering
A devil's child with dove wings
He went to prison
In every country he set foot in
Oh how he loved prison
How awfully lovely was prison

Antony :
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

Cocorosie :
His greatest love was executed
The pure romance was undisputed
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

私生雜種
八成妓女生的
很快地他成了孤兒
噢他是個多麼甜美的孤兒
在孤兒院裡，十歲是他的第一個榮光
修女逮住了他這個偷竊現行犯
如此他的愛情此刻開始了


整整三十年他四處流浪
這個有鴿子翅膀的惡魔之子
他去到每個行經國家的監獄
噢他多麼愛那些監獄
要命甜美的監獄


所有那些美麗的男孩
皮條客、扮裝皇后，和犯罪的酷兒們
所有那些美麗的男孩
刺上海盜船，和黑色的眼淚


他最棒的愛情早已落幕
那公認的純粹愛情
善良的流氓，與聖潔的人們
善良的流氓，與聖潔的人們

Hanson - Man from Milwaukee

哈哈 超喜歡這首歌
middle of nowhere是一張好聽的專輯

Original Release Date: May 6, 1997
Label: Island / Mercury

It started at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere
Sitting beside me was a man with no hair
]From the look on his face and the size of his toes
He comes from a place that nobody knows

Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
Letting this big-toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why

I've been sitting here too long by a man from Milwaukee
He's been talking too long on his yellow walkie talkie
He's been talking to Mars but I think he's wacky
He says they'll come get him, come get him some day

He says where he's from is called Albertane
There they use more than 10% of the brain
But you couldn't tell it from they way they behave
They run around in underwear and they never shave

Or maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
Letting this big-toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why

(Repeat Chorus)

This is Mother Bird calling Baby Bird
Baby Bird come in, come in Baby Bird

For the love of Pete come in!
This is Baby Bird...sorry I was watching Court TV
Do you copy? Do you copy?
Of course we copy...24 hours a day...in color

You wouldn't believe me if I told you the rest
The man sitting by me who was barely dressed
Flew off to Milwaukee or perhaps Albertane
And left me at the bus stop just barely sane

I've been sitting here too long thinkin' about Milwaukee
I've been talking too long on my yellow walkie talkie
I'm talking to Mars you may think I'm wacky
I know they'll come get me, come get me someday
I know they'll come get me and take me away
I know they'll come get me, come get me someday
If not tomorrow then maybe today

我身邊坐了個沒頭髮的男人
看看他臉上的表情和大腳趾
我猜他是打從一個沒人知道的地方來的

我大概是在作夢或是呼吸困難
才會讓這個露著大腳拇趾的傢伙坐在這裡嘮叨著天空怎樣
我大概是在作夢或是呼吸困難
就算你問我我也說不出個所以然－

我在這裡待得太久，坐在這個密爾瓦基來的男人身旁
他跟他的黃色對講機講得太久
他在跟火星對話－－我想他是有點古怪
他說他們會找上他，總有一天會找上他

他說他的故鄉叫做亞伯坦
他們在那裡使上了超過百分之十的腦容量
不過你從他們的舉止上看不出這一點
他們穿著內衣亂跑，而且從不刮鬍子

母鳥呼叫小鳥
小鳥請回應！小鳥請回應！

感謝愛！PETE回應了！
這是小鳥...不好意思我正在看法律頻道
你有收到嗎？你有收到嗎？
我們當然收到了...一整天都收到了...而且還是彩色的！

你不會相信接下來我要說的
我身旁這位幾乎光溜溜的傢伙
飛了起來，往密爾瓦基，或大概是亞伯坦去了
留下我在公車亭，幾乎要發瘋

我在這裡待得太久，想著密爾瓦基怎樣怎樣
我跟我的黃色對講機講得太久
我在跟火星對話－－你大概在想我是有點古怪
我知道他們會找上我，總有一天會找上我
我知道他們會找上我，帶我離開這裡－
我知道他們會找上我，總有一天會找上我
如果不是明天，那就今天吧！
