Reba McEntire｜Freedom｜歌詞．翻譯

 

Reba McEntire - Freedom

I'm no stranger to the thick smoke of a bar

我對於酒吧的濃厚的煙味並不陌生
And heart chained to a bottle of whiskey

並且我的心已經被威士忌鏈住
And I've held strangers in my arms

然後我擁抱著陌生人
To pull apart the bars

為了脫離囚禁著我的桎梏
Because I couldn't find the key

因為我找不到開啟的鑰匙
I've searched high and low

我上天下地尋找
Been to hell and back

去過地獄並且回來
Been a prisoner to my soul

也去過我靈魂的監獄
And all I know is that

然而我所知道的是
The price of being free it don't come cheap

自由的價格總是不會便宜
That's why people fight for it, rise for it

那就是為何人們為它而戰，為它挺身而出
Burn up the night for it
為它燃盡每個夜晚
Cry for it, pine for it

為它哭泣，為它渴望
Cross rivers wide for it

為它跨越寬闊的河流
Once you've held the truth

一旦你將事實掌握手中
There's nothing you won't do

你就將無所不能
And when I look into your eyes

並且當我看進你的眼裡
I know why people died for it

我就明白為什麼人們會願意為它而死
Freedom loving you feels like freedom

自由！愛你感覺像是自由一樣
You're the red, the white, the blue

你像是紅色、白色、藍色
The stars that cover the scars

以及覆蓋傷疤的繁星點點
When we broke the shackles

當我們破壞鐐銬
And I've never been to war before

而我從未上過戰場
But your boots there on the floor

但家中地板那雙你的靴子
Are proof that I've won the battle

是我贏得這場仗的證明
And all you had to give to me

而你必須給我的是
Was the gift of being free

自由這份禮物
That's why people fight for it, rise for it

那就是為什麼人們要為了自由而戰、為了自由發聲
Burn up the night for it

為了自由而燃盡所有夜晚
Cry for it, pine for it

為了自由而哭，為了自由而感到渴望
Cross rivers wide for it

為了自由而越過寬廣的河流
Once you've held the truth

一旦你手握真相
There's nothing you won't do

那你就沒有什麼做不到
And when I look into your eyes

而且當我看著你的眼睛時
I know why people died for it

我就明白為什麼人們會願意為它而死
Freedom loving you feels like freedom

自由！愛你感覺就像是自由一樣
I've searched high and low

我到處尋找
Been to hell and back

甚至到過地獄又回來
Been a prisoner to my soul

也去過我靈魂深處的牢籠
And all I know is that

而我所知道的是
The price of being free it don't come cheap

自由不是廉價的
That's why people fight for it, rise for it

那正是為何人們為此而戰，為此而發聲
Burn up the night for it

為此費盡每個夜晚
Cry for it, pine for it

為此而落淚，為此而渴望
Cross rivers wide for it

為此涉過寬闊的河水
Once you've held the truth

一旦你明白了真相
There's nothing you won't do

你就不會有什麼做不到的
And when I look into your eyes

然而當我看進你的眼中
I know why people died for it

我知道為何人們會如此渴望著自由
Freedom loving you feels like freedom

自由！愛你感覺就像是自由一樣
Oh freedom loving you feels like freedom

哦自由！愛你感覺就像是自由一樣
Freedom loving you feels like freedom

自由！愛你感覺就像是自由一樣
Freedom
自由！

第一次聽，馬上喜歡這首歌，是因為喜歡它歌頌自由的樣子，自由就該是如此！

然後再仔細看歌詞後，又更喜歡了，限制的欄杆跟酒吧、紅白藍星星的國旗，好多細節！

而最有感觸的是愛一個人，看著身邊的人，多少人是感受到限制而不是自由

風向星座的我，覺得最浪漫的事情是自由，在處理人際關係時仍會陷入被約束的感覺，不管是自身的慾望還是來自他人的限制。什麼時候都忘記愛一個人就應該像是自由一樣，什麼時候讓自己愛得如此不快樂呢。自由！從來都不是廉價的，總是經過好幾年、好幾段感情，最後才會發現自由是如此珍貴。如果可以愛上一個讓自己感受到自由的人，那會是多麽快樂的事情！

但可能再遇到那個人之前，要先在bars好一陣子(笑)
