Chin Up Chin Up - This Harness Can't Ride Anything

芝加哥的一个乐队，有点儿前卫，但流行性很强，这是新专辑《This Harness Can't Ride Anything》的首个MV，画面当中的许多情境都能让人想起Yellow Submarine。导演是Eric David Johnson，他最近还导演了M. Ward的《Chinese Translation》。

 

 

 

M. Ward - Chinese Translation

 

他是一个不错的民谣歌手，来自美国的波特兰。如果你喜欢Leonard Cohen九十年代之后的作品、万晓利，甚至Simon Joyner，那他的东西你可能也会喜欢。这首MV很有意思，画面和故事都是我们熟知的，另外里面还加上了中文字幕，只不过翻译得乱七八糟，估计他们当时用的是金山快译或者东方快车之类的直译软件。

 

 

 

歌词：

I sailed a wild, wild sea
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met a old, old man
beneath a weeping willow tree
He said now if you got some questions
go and lay them at my feet
but my time here is brief
so you'll have to pick just three

And I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
and how can a man like me remain in the light
and if life is really as short as they say
then why is the night so long
and then the sun went down
and he sang for me this song

See I once was a young fool like you
afraid to do the things
that I knew I had to do
So I played an escapade just like you
I played an escapade just like you
I sailed a wild, wild sea
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met an old, old man
he sat beneath a sapling tree
He said now if you got some questions
go and lay them at my feet
but my time here is brief
so you'll have to pick just three

And I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
and how can a man like me remain in the light
and if life is really as short as they say
then why is the night so long
and then the sun went down
and he played for me this song

我跨海翻山
碰见一老头儿坐在柳树下
他说如果我有什么问题
就放在他的脚下
但他在这儿的时间不长
我最后还是得自己拾起

我问老头儿
你带着伤心的碎片挨这儿干嘛呢
有没有什么办法让一个人永远面对光亮
有人说生命短暂
可为什么夜还是那么长
之后夕阳西下
老头唱起了歌

想当年我也像你一样2
怕这怕那
所以我也想你一样长途跋涉
我跨海翻山
碰见一老头儿坐在树苗下
他说如果我有什么问题
就放在他的脚下
但他在这儿的时间不长
我最后还是得自己拾起

我问老头儿
你带着伤心的碎片挨这儿干嘛呢
有没有什么办法让一个人永远面对光亮
有人说生命短暂
可为什么夜还是那么长
之后夕阳西下
老头儿就唱起了这首歌
