" I'm not a saint, I'm more of a sinner
I don't wanna lose, but I fear for the winners
When I try to explain, the words run away
That's why I am stood here today "

 

Sam Smith的第二首新歌出炉了～这首歌收录于Sam即将发行的新专辑《The Thrill Of It All》之中，也是继首波主打〈Too Good At Goodbyes〉之后的又一首神曲。

点右边连结可以听听上个月我翻译过的的〈Too Good At Goodbyes〉喔→【歌词翻译】Sam Smith - Too Good At Goodbyes 太舍得放下

 

这首歌的曲风跟Sam往常的歌曲不太相同，在这首3/4拍的歌里加入比较多重拍的元素，背景的合声也比较激情与大声。(说实话我第一次听的时候被第二段主歌的No吓到了)

Sam对于此曲没有什么意义上的解释，但我们可以确定的是Sam是个虔诚的天主教徒，这首歌也许是用一种比喻的方式，写他自己为成名而苦的低潮时期，不过既然Sam没有多做表示，我们就先不谈谈歌曲意涵了。

 

话说最近Sam Smith跟饰演《汉娜的遗言》中Justin的Brandon Flynn在街上放闪，这消息真的是太令人震惊了，上个月才说自己单身的Sam，竟然和Brandon交往了，真心祝他们幸福下去。

最后希望大家多听几次这首美丽的歌曲，期待Sam在全新专辑的曲风转变～

[Verse 1]
I'm young and I'm foolish, I've made bad decisions / 我太年轻太傻 做过许多错误的决定
I block out the news, turn my back on religion / 我不想理那些是是非非 也不想寄托于信仰
Don't have no degree, I'm somewhat naive / 我还有点天真 没办法全然领略
I've made it this far on my own / 但至少我独自撑到了现在
But lately, that shit ain't been gettin' me higher / 然而最近我对于那些纷扰毫无办法
I lift up my head and the world is on fire / 当我抬起头 这世界仿佛一片狼藉
There's dread in my heart and fear in my bones / 我的身心充满了畏惧
And I just don't know what to say / 我不知道该说些什么

[Chorus 1]
Maybe I'll pray, pray / 也许我会向天祈祷
Maybe I'll pray / 也许我会用心祝祷
I have never believed, and you know / 如你所知 我从不信这些

You won't find me in church (no) reading the bible (no) / 虽然我不会去教堂阅读圣经

Everyone prays in the end / 每个人最终都会向天祝祷
Won't you call me? / 你会召唤我吗?
Can we have a one-to-one, please? / 我能和你亲自说说话吗?
Let's talk about freedom / 我们来谈谈自由本身
