greek song背后的爱情故事
Greek song是我最喜欢的歌曲，当初一听到这首歌就对Rufus痴恋万分。但是之前一直都不懂这首歌表达些什么。后来在Rufus的官方网站上找到一些解释，是国外的FANS发帖的。原帖是英文，现在我大概把这首歌的解释翻译一下，与喜欢Rufus和这首歌的人分享一下。
这首歌其实是rufus和一个greek boy发生的萍水相逢的恋情。整首歌是以对话形式展开的，知道这一点后其实整首歌不难理解。(R=rufus,B=greek boy)
R: You who were born with the sun above your shoulders
You turn me on you turn me on
You have to know
B: You who were born where the sun she keeps her distance
You turn me on you turn me on
But so does she
R: You who were born there where beauty is existence
You turn me on you turn me
Your body heals my soul
B: You who were born where you shiver and you shudder
You turn me on the girl is gone so come on
Let’s go
born with the sun above your shoulders其实就是暗指男孩出生的地方是个热带的地方（希腊是在地中海那边的），而希腊是很多艺术作品诞生的地方，所以说那里是where beauty is existence。born where the sun she keeps her distance和 born where you shiver and you shudder暗指rufus是出生在寒带的地方（他是加利福尼亚那边的）,shiver和shudder是颤抖的意思。
至于turn me on就是让人意乱情迷的意思吧。男孩说了一句But so does she表明他原来也是有女朋友的，但他最后被rufus吸引并为了rufus放弃了那女生。
R: All the pearls of China
Fade astride of Volta
Don’t sew beelines to anybody’s hide
Save your poison for a lover who is on your side
Volta是一种摩托车的牌子，发帖的人说在希腊近海的地方骑着摩托车兜风感觉真的很棒，所以在这种景色下All the pearls of China fade。至于后两句连发帖的人都说没办法理解，我的理解也比较抽象，很难用语言描述出来，大家可以讨论一下。
R: One way is Rome and the other way is Mecca
On either side on either side
Of our motorbike
B: One way is home and the other way is papa
On either side on either side and
Prepared to strike
R: When I get back I will dream in Barnes and Noble's
Oh leave me here oh leave me where angels fear to tread
B: When I get back I will bleed after my beating
Don’t leave me here don’t leave me here
I’m scared to death
Rome就是罗马啦，Mecca就是麦加，也是地名啦。Barnes and Noble's是纽约最大的书店，据说可以媲美一个图书馆。这一段主要是说rufus希望留在这里，而那个男孩却希望rufus把他带离这个地方，因为他爸爸有暴力倾向，他经常遭到虐打。
这是rufus在Rolling Stone里对这首歌的解释：
"This song is about an American guy and a Greek guy, and they go off into the bushes together, and then the American guy goes back to America and hangs out at Barnes & Noble a lot, and the Greek guy gets beaten up." He pauses for the laugh. "I'd rather be beaten up, frankly."
希望看了这篇东西后能让大家更加喜欢这首歌啦～
