Glee的完整表演 (只有兩分多鐘) (恩....不知道是這次的編舞很怪?還是跳來跳去很無腦? 總之這翻唱讓我無言以對....)
Yeah, so this happened .... 最新一集的Glee S4E07 Dynamic Duets中翻唱了fun. 的Some Nights....
Some Nights這首歌是fun.的第二首告示牌排行榜前十名單曲(前一首是冠軍單曲We Are Young),在進榜20多週後爬升到第三名,至今日為止Some Nights已經在告示牌百大金曲榜上停留39周,本周由上週的第四名下滑一名至第五。
我始終沒有翻譯Some Nights 的歌詞,一則網路上我找到的翻譯已經很棒!..... 二則這首歌詞真的蠻難(而我很懶)。如果不是對fun.的背景或其他歌曲有些了解,即便是英文歌詞討論網站上也有很多各種不同的爭議想法。
Some Nights這首歌是敘述fun.經歷十餘年走唱生涯、終於成名後,對爆紅後名聲、錢財及種種怪現象擁來,懷疑起自己多年努力做音樂到底堅持的是什麼。如同多數fun.的歌,這首歌講的是自我掙扎、自我懷疑,但最後告訴自己:無論如何我要為自己的信仰 (belief) 努力的深夜中的自我對話。
翻唱fun.的歌曲有一定的難度,何況是Some Nights這樣一首十分fun.的歌曲: 戲劇張力十足、加上Marching band (或非洲鼓舞樂)的編曲元素、和Nate Ruess瘋狂的嗓音。
先前聽說Glee要翻唱,我以為Wabler要做acapella(人聲無伴奏)還開心了一下。youtube上其實已經可以找到很多acapella的翻唱版本,不過總是專業不足、或感覺搔不到癢處。沒想到Glee的版本還是讓身為fun.忠實歌迷的我有些不蘇胡。
好吧,不翻譯好像不能說清我對這首歌的想法。
fun. Some Nights live (我不太喜歡some nights的MV, 而偏好現場演唱、有觀眾時候的版本,這種時候最能感受到這首歌的張力!)
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
但我還是醒來。我還是看見過去的自己。
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
這就是了! 開戰了! - 我們還在等什麼?
我從來就不相信炒作 - 讓媒體隨便說吧
And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...
不過沒關係。今晚在我床上我找到和我同病相憐的人
Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win...
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know... (come on)
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this? (Come on)
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!
不。當我仰望星空,當我看著,當我看著星星,星星就只是星星
所以,來吧! 來吧! 來吧!!!
Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
好囉~ 就這樣囉! 我成名五分鐘了然後已經覺得無聊
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights...ahhh...
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...

一開始聽到這首歌,曾自己翻譯過 不過還是沒有版主這樣精細考究 學習了 祝福新的一年快樂順心 也希望2012最讓我驚豔的團體-F.U.N. 能繼續讓我驚艷! 喔,我剛剛知道<無敵破壞王>的CF主題曲後面放了這首歌 更想去看那部片了XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PyhbGVi4Vw
真高興找到同好了! :) 最近台灣電視開始常出現他們的歌了,雖然時常有些怪,但在電視上聽見還是讓人很興奮! 歡迎多來交流喔! :)
最近才突然聽到Fun.的這首Some Nights 深深地被Nate Ruess的嗓音吸引 >< 真的很棒很有張力!!!! Glee的翻唱感覺少了一種....power(?) 最後謝謝版主的翻譯!! 看了歌詞之後對歌更有感覺了:)))
最近台灣電視播得挺多的..... 希望有更多人喜歡他們囉!
這真是我看過最難的歌詞. 字都看懂了, 還是沒辦法一次體會 這段分享一下我的解釋 most amazing things -- nephew's (the baby's) eyes comes from some terrible nights (that his sister made love with con). But also imply their success now comes from those terrible nights in ten years.
謝謝分享! 我喜歡你的名字! :)
應該是明星(artist with fame)
我認為是星星喔。Nate Ruess的很多歌詞都有星星 (例如Star這首歌),星星是他表示寄託於神、宗教的意思,他某任前女友相當虔誠,而他自己則是無神論者,所以才說對他來說星星就只是星星而已。 還是謝謝你的分享!我想,每個人都可以有自己不同的解釋! 這就是奧妙之處囉 :)
懂了他們的歌詞後越來越喜歡他們了:)
好喜歡這首歌,雖然是看無敵破壞王之後才對這首歌比較有印象,但還是覺得它的旋律讓人很喜歡!!! 最近遇到的事情在這首歌也更有感觸了~~ 謝謝你的翻譯 ,, ㄎㄎㄎ 也辛苦樓~~
版主好厲害,你的翻譯雖然不是完全照字面翻,但真的翻出fun.的想法。 如果沒看到你的翻譯,還真的不曉得歌詞含義! 不愧是鐵粉。感受到好濃厚的愛啊。 另外我承認我是看GLEE才知道這首歌。 但是在沒聽過fun.的情況下,不覺得glee很差啦。 (對不起我是glee的愚粉>"<) 純粹是為了讚揚版主的翻譯忍不住留言。
不敢說厲不厲害,只是真的很喜歡.... :) 我也透過Glee認識了很多歌,曾經很喜歡Glee,最近還為Finn (Cory Monteith) 掉了不少眼淚..... 應該是期待很高所以失望比較大吧.... 謝謝你的留言 :)
我重看了glee的片段, 可以說是新人們還不夠力,所以唱不出合適的感覺嗎? 第三季唱we are young的時候超驚艷的 (不好意思愚粉魂又上身) Cory真的很可惜,人生才正要開始QAQ 謝謝你不覺得我的留言很唐突。 我也要開始來多聽fun.的歌了。
