Adele - Chasing Pavements

電吉他緩慢開動，在BBC Radio1裡聽到令人心碎的歌聲，並在本週成為我播放次數最頻繁的歌曲，Adele在08年開春就給我這一記到年底都會深深記憶的歌曲。歌曲有種不知如何是好的困頓感，音樂錄影帶也拍得絕望而有趣；傳給在曼大讀博班的DFC聽，DFC很快就愛上了。雖然歌詞說的是愛情的進退維谷，但那種不斷自我懷疑的感受，恐怕是同樣在讀博班的人才能共享的。



I've made up my mind,　我已下定決心

Don't need to think it over,　無須再加思慮

if I'm wrong I am right,　錯了就算了

Don't need to look no further,　也無須向前看

This ain't lust,　這不是一時慾望

I know this is love but,　我知道這是愛，然而



If I tell the world,　如果我告訴世界

I'll never say enough,　我的話語永遠不足

Cause it was not said to you,　因為不是向你訴說

And that’s exactly what I need to do,　若我同你墜入情網

If I'm in love with you,　這正是我該做的事



Should I give up,　我該放棄嗎？

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?　或我該繼續追尋？

Even if it leads nowhere,　 即便前方沒有去路

Or would it be a waste?　會白費氣力嗎？

Even If I knew my place　即便我清楚自己的位置

Should I leave it there?　但我該停滯不前？

Should I give up　我該放棄？

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?　或就繼續追尋？

Even if it leads nowhere.　即便前方沒有去路



I'd build myself up,　我把自己整頓好

And fly around in circles,　繞著圈圈飛翔

Wait then as my heart drops,　當我的心墜落，我靜候

And my back begins to tingle　我的背開始刺痛

Finally could this be it, Or　難道這就是全部？



Should I give up,　我該放棄？

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?　或繼續往前追尋？

Even if it leads nowhere.　即便前方並無去路

Or would it be a waste?　只是一場空嗎？

Even If I knew my place　即便我知道自己的位置

Should I leave it there?　我應該停滯不前嗎？

Should I give up,　我該放棄？

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?　或仍該繼續追尋？

Even if it leads nowhere.　即便前無去路…
