记得第一次听这首歌是2002年,不知道是因为天使般的声音吸引了我,还是带着点忧伤、带着点优美的旋律吸引了我,也或者是歌词的内容吸引了,从此成了自己每天必听的一首歌。歌词中最让人感动的是“You are in the arms of the Angel, May you find some comfort here”(在天使的怀中,希望你可以找到一些安慰)。是啊,这个世界不知道从什么时候开始变得缺少爱、缺少信任,脑子里每天想到的多是财富,不知道是人改变了这个世界,还是这个世界改变了人。能够在一个地方,让自己的心得到休息,让自己的灵魂得到安慰,是多么不容易。不过,天使是来者不拒的。那个天使,可能是你的爱人,可能是上帝之子,也可能是你心中的自己。
这首歌,安静,舒缓,淡定。或许,这首歌本身就是天使。
好好享受这首歌,也喜欢大家真的能从歌里找到一些安慰。
Angel
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
用全部的时间等待第二次机会
For the break that would make it OK
因为逃避能使一切更好
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
总是有理由说感觉不够好
And it's hard at the end of the day
在一日将尽之时觉得难过
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
我需要散散心,或是一个美丽的解脱
Memories seep from my veins
回忆自我的血管渗出
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
让我体内空无一物,了无牵挂
I'll find some peace tonight
也许今晚我可以得到一些平静
In the arms of the Angel fly away from here
在天使的怀里,飞离此地
From this dark, cold hotel room
远离黑暗、阴冷的旅馆房间
and the endlessness that you feel
和你无穷的惧怕
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
你在无声的幻梦残骸中被拉起
You are in the arms of the Angel
在天使的怀里
may you find some comfort here
愿你能得到安慰
So tired of the straight line
厌倦了走直线
and everywhere you turn
你转弯的每一个地方
There're vultures and thieves at your back
总有兀鹰和小偷跟在身后
The storm keeps on twisting
暴风雨仍肆虐不止
you keep on building the lies
你仍在建构谎言
That make up for all that you lack
以弥补你所欠缺的
It don't make no difference
但那于事无补
escape one last time
再逃避一次
It's easier to believe
会使人更容易相信
In this sweet madness
在这甜蜜的疯狂
oh this glorious sadness
光荣的忧伤里
That brings me to my knees
使我颔首屈膝
In the arms of the Angel fly away from here
在天使的怀里,飞离此地
From this dark, cold hotel room
远离黑暗、阴冷的旅馆房间
and the endlessness that you feel
和你无穷的惧怕
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
你在无声的幻梦残骸中被拉起
You are in the arms of the Angel
在天使的怀里
May you find some comfort here
愿你能得到安慰
In the arms of the Angel
在天使的怀里
May you find some comfort here
愿你能得到安慰
