這次是80年代起家,但樂團生涯似乎有些坎坷的工業老團Stabbing Westward
這次要翻譯的是Stabbing Westward最有名的"Save Yourself"~
照慣例先放上MV
歌名:Save Yourself
I know your life is empty
And you hate to face this world alone
So you're searching for an angel
Someone who can make you whole
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
So just save yourself
我知道你生命空虛
而你痛恨獨自面對這世界
因此你渴求一個天使
好讓自己感覺完整
我救不了你
我連自己都救不了
所以請救救自己吧
I know that you've been damaged
Your soul has suffered such abuse
But I am not your savior
I am just as fucked as you (I am just as fucked as you)
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
So just save yourself
我知道你飽受傷害
你的靈魂嚐盡凌虐
但我不是你的救世主
我跟你一樣他媽爛透了(我跟你一樣他媽爛透了)
我救不了你
我連自己都救不了
所以請救救自己吧
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
請別同情我
請別同情我
請別同情我
請別同情我
My life has been a nightmare
My soul is fractured to the bone
And if I must be lonely
I think I'd rather be alone (I think I'd rather be alone)
我的人生已是場惡夢
我的靈魂早已崩壞入骨
如果我必須孤獨
我想我最好獨善其身(我想我最好獨善其身)
You cannot save me
You can't even save yourself
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
Save yourself
So just save yourself
你救不了我
你連自己都救不了
我救不了你
我連自己都救不了
幫自己一把吧
救救你自己
(完)
翻譯後記:
順便附上髒話未消音版
好啦我知道"Save Yourself"聽起來有股濃厚的九寸釘感,收錄這首歌的專輯Darkest Days其實也是(就連主唱Christopher Hall的音色也有點Trent的味道XD),不過Stabbing Westward和九寸釘都是差不多年代的,兩團在音樂風格上受到的影響也很相似,只能說這就是90年代的工業搖滾/金屬常見的特質吧ˊ艸ˋ
1998年的"Save Yourself"成為Stabbing Westward最廣為人知的歌曲,也出現在一些電玩、電影預告和原聲帶中,但依然沒有成功挽救樂團與哥倫比亞唱片公司簽約後的不佳銷量,Darkest Days發行兩年後,Stabbing Westward就被哥倫比亞掃地出門了。
Stabbing Westward在2001年發行同名專輯後解散,直到2010年之後才又陸續有活動,話說他們今年可能會出新專輯,去年已經推出其中幾首~
雖然不太常聽這團不過也滿期待的~
