Annie Lennox - Why

我一直很喜歡Annie Lennox這首歌。專輯裡的版本稍嫌俗氣，但兩次現場演唱版本，一次是live 8，一次是arista 25週年，她以鋼琴伴奏，淡淡的神經質，如同她操拿冰刃，以先知姿態切割我的靈魂，然後拋給我大哉問。



我想以這首歌結束三月。無所前進的March。時間往前之際，有多少事我們的確無法使得上力啊。



How many times do I have to try to tell you　我要告訴你多少次

That I'm sorry for the things I've done　其實我為所做的事感到抱歉

But when I start to try to tell you　但當我試著告訴你

That's when you have to tell me　也就是你試著告訴我的當下

Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun　這樣的麻煩才剛開始

I tell myself too many times　我告訴過自己這麼多次

Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut　為什麼你不學著閉嘴呢

That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words　聽到這些話有多難受

That keep on falling from your mouth　這些惡毒的話從你嘴裡溢出

Falling from your mouth　從你嘴中吐出

Falling from your mouth　從你嘴裡迸出

Tell me...　告訴我

Why　為什麼

Why　為什麼啊



I may be mad　我也許生氣

I may be blind　也許盲目

I may be viciously unkind　也許惡毒不仁慈

But I can still read what you're thinking　但我能讀出你在想些什麼

And I've heard it said too many times　我也聽你說過太多次

That you'd be better off　你已經變好

Besides...除此之外

Why can't you see this boat is sinking　難道你看不出來我已漸漸沈沒

(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)　如同船隻漸漸沈沒

Let's go down to the water's edge　讓我們來到水際

And we can cast away those doubts　我們便能除卻內心的猜忌

Some things are better left unsaid　有些話　還是別說的好吧

But they still turn me inside out　但這些話仍讓我翻天覆地

Turning inside out turning inside out　從內到外

Tell me...　告訴我

Why　為什麼

Tell me...告訴我

Why　為什麼啊



This is the book I never read　這是我從未讀過的書

These are the words I never said　這是我從未說的話

This is the path I'll never tread　這是我從未走的路

These are the dreams I'll dream instead　這些是我不會再有的夢

This is the joy that's seldom spread　這是我私自的愉悅

These are the tears...　這是眼淚

The tears we shed　我們共同流過的淚

This is the fear　這是我的擔憂

This is the dread　這是我的懼怕

These are the contents of my head　這是我腦海中想及之事

And these are the years that we have spent　這是我們共同度過的那些年

And this is what they represent　這是他們代表的意義

Do you know how I feel?　而你知道我的感受是什麼嗎？

'Cause I don't think you know how I feel　我想你一定不知道吧

I don't think you know what I feel　我想你應該不知道吧

I don't think you know what I feel　我想你應該不知道吧

You don't know what I feel　不知道我真正的感受啊
