今晚要去看 Rachael Yamagata ，分享她的一首歌 "Elephant"，實在寫得好美。聽了這首，沒在失戀的人都會想失戀一下吧。歌詞翻譯在下：
Heading out to watch Rachael Yamagata tonight, but before I do, I wanted to share her song "Elephant" with everyone. I think it has the kind of beauty that's found in things that are poetically sad. Lyrics below:
Elephant 如象般的記憶
If the elephants have past lives yet are destined to always remember
若大象有前世 牠想必記得上輩子
It’s no wonder how they scream
難怪牠們總是淒慘嚎叫
Like you and I they must have some temper
就像你我也有他人不解的脾氣
And I am dreaming of them on the plains
牠們出現在我夢中的平原
Dirtying up their beds
把棲地弄得一團糟
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads
期盼下場冷雨沖走腦中的混亂
And how dare that you send me that card when I’m doing all that I can do
當我用盡全力想做點什麼 你卻給了我張卡片
You are forcing me to remember when all I want is to just forget you
我唯一想要的就是忘了你 你卻又出現在我生命裡
If the tiger shall protect her young then tell me how did you slip by
老虎先天就會保護幼虎 為什麼你卻在緊要關頭一走了之
All my instincts have failed me for once
我的直覺一度失準
I must have somehow slept the whole night
或許我只是在昏睡中忘了提防你
And I am dreaming of them with their kill
牠們抓著獵物 出現在我夢中
Tearing it all apart
奮力撕咬 四分五裂
Blood dripping from their lips and teeth sinking into heart
血液滲出嘴唇 牙齒刺入心臟
And how dare that you say you’ll call
When you know I need some peace of mind
你明知我最需要的是一個人靜靜
怎麼又說我們再聯絡
If you have to take sides with the animals
若你非得選邊站
Won’t you do it with one who is kind
怎麼不選擇溫和的動物
And if the hawks in the trees need the dead
若樹梢的老鷹需要腐肉
If you’re living you don’t stand a chance
你一點逃跑的機會也沒有
For a time though you share the same bed
曾經你們狼狽為奸
There are only two ends to this dance
這場遊戲結局只有兩種
You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds
你可以苟且逃跑 或者等著被分屍
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed
看著自己四分五裂 嘲笑自己血流成河
So for those of you falling in love keep it kind
所以啊 陷入情網的你們 請溫柔待人
Keep it good
發發慈悲
Keep it right
心存善念
Throw yourself in the midst of danger but keep one eye open at night
戀愛是身陷險境 要時時刻刻小心偷襲
