She put him out like the burnin’ end of a midnight cigarette
她撲滅他的愛 像熄滅午夜盡頭燃燒的煙蒂
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin’ to forget
她傷了他的心 成就他畢生難以釋懷的傷痛
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
我們望著他 飲盡悲傷 一次一次 一點一滴
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
但他無法讓自己 足夠沉醉 以至將她遺忘
Until the night
直到 那個夜晚
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
他端起酒瓶飲頸而下 並對著自己扣響了扳機
And finally drank away her memory
終于將屬于她的記憶全部喝完
Life is short but this time it was bigger
生命短暫 這一次卻如此強大
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
超越了他仰賴著立足于世的力量
We found him with his face down in the pillow
我們終于找到他 他卻已將自己深深埋在枕頭裡
With a note that said I’ll love her till I die
臨別遺言 一紙短箋︰我愛她直至生命結束
And when we buried him beneath the willow
當我們將他下葬 合上了柳木棺蓋
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
天使們唱起 威士忌安魂曲
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
流言飛傳 但沒有人知道 她心裡無限的自責
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
年複一年 她試圖隱藏 那已融入呼吸的威士忌味道
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
她終于飲盡悲傷 一次一次 一點一滴
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
但她無法讓自己 足夠沉醉 以至將他遺忘
Until the night
直到 那個夜晚
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
她端起酒瓶飲頸而下 並對著自己扣響了扳機
And finally drank away his memory
終于將屬于他的記憶全部喝完
Life is short but this time it was bigger
生命短暫 這一次卻如此強大
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
超越了她仰賴著立足于世的力量
We found her with her face down in the pillow
我們終于找到了她 她卻已將自己深深埋在枕頭裡
Clinging to his picture for dear life
臨別陪伴 一張他的照片 紀念這珍貴一生
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
當我們將她下葬 緊挨著他 合上了柳木棺蓋
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
天使們 又唱起 威士忌安魂曲

上面這網址可以看mv
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(以下是我綜合MV內容及維基百科後不負責任的介紹及詮釋)
透過如吟遊詩人般的歌者
吟唱出了一段被命運作弄的遺憾戀情
故事發生在1940~50年代
(插個題外話~~我特別喜歡設定在這年代背景的電影
如早期的<<油炸綠蕃茄>>,較近期的<<情緣手札>>...哈,扯遠了~回歸主題)
因為戰爭的關係
一對深愛彼此的戀人
不得不在新婚不久後分離
送走男人後的女人信守等候的承諾
一年又一年
許多年過去
男人始終未曾出現
只有玄關的照片上兩人仍然愉快的笑著
即使如此
女人還是守著倆人的家
守著當初在門口柳樹下的承諾
直到有天女人聽到男人早已戰亡的訛傳
信以為真的女人崩潰了
為了麻醉自己
女人放任自己在一個個男人身上尋求慰藉...
滿懷思念的男人終於從戰場上回來了
卻撞見自己深愛的女人正和陌生男子廝磨的背叛
氣憤傷心的男人不給女人任何解釋的機會就堅絕的轉身離開
女人雖然費盡心力尋找男子的下落
卻總是錯過彼此
傷心的男人喝下了第一口Whiskey
希望能抹掉心中女人甜美的笑容
那曾經是在炮火隆隆的戰場中支持他存活下來的唯一信念
而今這身影卻讓他失去了生命的重心
男人一日一日往更痛苦的深淵墜落
也一日一日更依賴酒精
直到男人離不開酒
也離不開這痛苦
男人朝著自己扣下了板機
知道自己真的失去男人的女人
無視週遭的流言蜚語
更加放蕩形骸
希望能藉此抹掉心中越來越黑暗的自責與悲傷
但
女人對男人的思念終於完全囓食了她
於是
女人朝著自己扣下了板機....
(至於後續...mv有詳解)
(另外lullaby有人翻成搖籃曲 不過我個人偏愛安魂曲)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
老實說
當初是因為這歌還不錯聽
(尤其是女歌手的聲音)
才去找歌詞和mv來看
(不過歌詞真的寫的很好
中文翻譯的也不錯~~~不是我翻的,我沒這等功力
歌詞中我尤愛這幾句
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
愛真的是很強大的力量
它可以讓生命燦爛
也可讓生命隕落~~哈~又扯遠了)
看完mv只有一個感覺
這是美國版的<鴛鴦蝴蝶夢>嗎
看來"在地願為比翼鳥,在地願為連理枝"的彌補心情
古今中外皆雷同的
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
找不到中文的簡介
竟然在維基百科找到英文版
(我看yahoo的"什麼都有~什麼都找得到"該換給維基喊了~~)
<<Whiskey Lullaby>> is a song about a couple who divorce and eventually kill themselves because they miss each other. The full length music video is set in the 1940-50's. It starts out with a man returning home from the Army, as he walks into his house and looks at the pictures of him and his wife and has a flashback to a moment of them underneath a Weeping Willow tree. He hears laughter upstairs and walks up expecting to find his wife alone, but she is in bed with another man. He then leaves her and the song begins.
The first verse of the song in the video shows the man getting drunk, and not being able to get his wife off his mind. He eventually gets so drunk that he kills himself, and the first chorus shows his funeral and his wife crying.
The second verse of the song in the video shows the wife drinking a lot and going out with guys, there is a scene in which the wife pushes a man out of the room and starts to drink whiskey straight from the bottle. That part of the video shows how she really blamed herself for his death and that whiskey was the only thing that could make her feel better.
Just before the second chorus there's a shot of her at her husband's grave crying and drinking. When the chorus starts, it cuts to her funeral and people crying and when the song finishes a little girl is looking back at the graves and seeing them alive, hugging and kissing and falling in love again.
