Frente! - Bizarre Love Triangle

一直都很喜歡這首歌。手上有New Order的舞曲版，Stabbing Westward的搖滾版，Frente!的民謠吉他版，還有林憶蓮最近翻唱的歐陸舞曲版（她唱成「一個人」）。很多人都翻唱過這首歌，也足見這首幾乎不起波瀾的小歌有其獨特的魅力。當然當中我最愛的還是Frente!女主唱帶些呢噥軟語般地唱，好似有些嘆息。好似有些無奈。好似事情已無法挽回，所以只能與愛人互相競爭對峙，等待對方先說出傷人的話語，好獲得道別的勇氣。



Every time I think of you　每一次我一想到你

I get a shot right through into a bolt of blue　就如同晴天霹靂

It’s no problem of mine but it’s a problem I find　這並非我的問題吧，但這問題

Living a life that I can’t leave behind　使我無法拋棄過去向前行

There’s no sense in telling me　跟我說也沒有用啦

The wisdom of a fool wont set you free　我這傻瓜的才智也無法放任你自由

But that’s the way that it goes　但事情就這樣吧

And it’s what nobody knows　縱然不足為外人道

And every day my confusion grows　日復一日，我的困惑有增無減

Every time I see you falling　每次我見你墜落

I get down on my knees and pray　我僅能跪下禱求

I’m waiting for that final moment　我等待最後那刻到來

You’ll say the words that I can’t say　你能夠說出我無法說出的字眼



I feel fine and I feel good　我覺得很好，我覺得很棒

I feel like I never should　這感覺還真前所未有

Whenever I get this way, I just don’t know what to say　每次難以名狀的感受來襲

Why can’t we be ourselves like we were yesterday　為什麼不能回到過去呢？

I’m not sure what this could mean　我不知道這一切意味著什麼

I don’t think you’re what you seem　我覺得你表裡不一

I do admit to myself　我只好對自己承認

That if I hurt someone else　若我傷害了任何人

Then we’d never see just what we’re meant to be　我們便不是天造地設的一雙

Every time I see you falling　每次我見你墜落

I get down on my knees and pray　我僅能跪下禱求

I’m waiting for that final moment　我等待最後那刻到來

You’ll say the words that I cant say　你能說出我無法說出的言詞
