真正的人文歌曲

每天看到新闻上上演的各种丑剧,政客的假惺惺,政府的无能,人们的冷漠,只有这样的歌曲让你觉得生活还是有意义的。只有这种真正关心社会、关心人民疾苦的歌曲才是值得反复倾听,值得让人称颂的。
下面是我翻译的歌词。
What's wrong with the world, mama?
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world's addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring the trauma
妈妈,这世界怎么了?
人们过得像没有妈妈一样
我想全世界都沉溺于戏剧性的东西
只会被那些带给你创伤的事物吸引
Overseas, yeah, we tryin' to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the U.S.A., the big C.I.A.
The Bloods and the Crips and the KKK
我们在国外努力阻止恐怖主义
但是我们生活的地方仍然有恐怖分子
在美国,在那大大的中情局
黑帮Bloods和Crips,还有杀人的三K党
But, if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
但是,如果你只爱你自己的种族
那只会让你有空去歧视
歧视只能产生仇恨
当你仇恨时,你一定会易怒生气
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate, let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
你表现出来的疯狂
正是怒气的作用和表现的方式
兄弟,你得用爱来纠正
控制你的思想,然后冥想
让爱吸引你的灵魂
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurtin', you hear them cryin'?
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek
人们屠杀,人们死亡
孩子受伤,你听见他们哭泣吗
你能实践你的布道吗
你会把另一边脸转过来吗
(But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. ---- Matthew5:39 Bible
但是我告诉你们,不要与恶人作对,有人打你的右脸,把你左脸也转过来由他打。)
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?
(Love)
神父,神父,神父帮帮我们
从上天那给我们一些指示
因为人们让我,让我发问
爱在哪里
Where is the love?
(The love)
Where is the love?
(The love)
Where is the love?
The love, the love
爱在哪里
爱在哪里
爱在哪里
爱啊,爱啊
It just ain't the same, old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace are so strong, why are there pieces of love
That don't belong? Nations droppin' bombs
世界不一样,旧的方式改变了
新生活很奇怪,世界失去理智了吗?
如果爱与和平那么强大,为什么还有
难以共处的爱的碎片?国家扔下炸弹
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So, ask yourself is the lovin' really gone?
So, I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong?
化学气体充满了小孩子的肺里
伴随着这些正在上演的惨剧,年轻人早早丧生
所以,问问你自己,爱是否真的消失?
所以,我真得问自己,到底出什么问题?
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, denyin' thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
在我们生活的世界里,人们不断地屈服
做出错误的决定,只看得到对他们有益的事
不尊重彼此,否定自己的手足
战争正在进行,但原因是个谜团
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all? Come on
(I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all? Come on
(I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all?
真相被保密,它已被隐藏
如果你永远不知道真相,那你永远都无法了解爱
爱在哪里
我不知道
真相在哪里
我不知道
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurtin', you hear them cryin'?
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek
人们屠杀,人们死亡
孩子受伤,你听见他们哭泣
你能实践你的布道吗
你会把另一边脸转过来吗

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction
我感觉到肩上世界的重量
随着我年龄的增长,人们越来越冷漠
大部分人只关心赚钱
自私让我们选择了错误的方向
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
媒体总是播放错误的信息
负面的形象成了主流的标准
腐蚀着年轻人的思想,比细菌的速度还快
孩子想模仿他们在电影中看到的行为
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity?
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality?
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
人类的价值到底怎么了?
公正和公平到底怎么了?
我们到处传播仇恨,而不是爱
缺乏理解,让我们分崩离析
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found and ask yourself
这就是为什么我有时感觉低落
这就是为什么我有时感觉失望
难怪我有时候感觉低落
我得一直坚守我的信念,直到找到爱,问问你自己
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
爱在哪里
爱在哪里
爱在哪里
爱在哪里
Father, Father, Father help us

Sing with my ya'll
(One world, one world)
We only got
(One world, one world)
That's all we got
(One world, one world)
和我一起唱(同一个世界,同一个世界)
我们只有(同一个世界,同一个世界)
这就是我们的所有(同一个世界,同一个世界)
And somethin's wrong with it
(Yeah)
Somethin's wrong with it
(Yeah)
Somethin's wrong with the w-w-world yeah
We only got
(One world, one world)
That's all we got
(One world, one world)
中国曾经也有这样的歌手,不过现在几乎看不到。还是多回味老歌吧!
现象七十二变
罗大佑
黄花岗有七十二个烈士 孔老夫子有七十二个弟子
孙悟空的魔法七十二变 我们又等到民国七十二年
岁岁年年风水都在改变 有多少沧海一夜变成桑田
在这个五千年的悠久历史里面 成功与失败多少都有一点
清清楚楚写在你的脸上 你是个道道地地的聪明人
慌慌张张迈开你的脚步 你是个匆匆忙忙的现代人
有人默默耕耘默默从事 有人在过着他的太平日子
有人在大白天里彼此明争暗斗 有人在黑夜之中枪杀歌手
随着都市现代化的程度 每个人多少追求一点进步
是个什么样的心理因素 每年要吃掉一条高速公路
在西门町的天桥上面闲逛 有多少文明人在人行道上
就像我看到文明车辆横冲直撞 我不懂大家心中作何感想
一年过了又是新的一年 每一年现代都在传统边缘
在每个新的一年三百六十五天 我们都每天进步一点点
眼看着高楼盖得越来越高 我们的人情味却越来越薄
朋友之间越来越有礼貌 只因为大家见面越来越少
苹果价钱卖得没以前高 或许现在味道变得不好
就像彩色的电视变得更加花俏 能辨别黑白的人越来越少
一年过了又是新的一年 每一年都曾经是新的一年
在每个新的一年三百六十五天 我们都每天进步一点点
现实生活不能等待奇迹 这是个非常简单的道理
如果只要生存非常容易 只要你对人保持一点距离
但是生活不能像在演戏 你戴着面具如何面对自己
或许你将会真的发现一些奇迹 只要你抛开一些面子问题
或许你将会发现人生还算美丽 只要你抛开一些面子问题
下面是我翻译的歌词。
