三月三日,Ed's new album literally makes every fan's day

Ed 很準時的在 3/3 凌晨(台灣時間為中午)釋出了最新專輯"÷"(Divide)

而且除了 Spotify 等各大串流音樂都上架專輯之外,YT 頻道也超佛心一次上傳了所有音檔

(手機整個被 Youtube 通知洗版XDD 最開心那種)

在 track by track 的採訪中,Ed 說這是一首關於他祖母的歌曲

"It was written for my mom’s point of view. My grandmother was very ill during the time I was making the record and passed away at the end of me making the record so we wrote this song as a tribute and just left it on."

「這首歌是用我母親的視角去寫的;我的祖母在我製作這張專輯的時候身體非常虛弱,然後在我完成這張專輯的時候,她過世了,所以我寫下了這首歌紀念我對祖母的懷念跟尊敬,也沒有打算要放進專輯。」

雖然艾德本來沒有想要把這首歌放進專輯,但他的祖父告訴他,他應該讓這首歌成為專輯的一部分

"My grandfather just turned to me [at the funeral], he was like you have to put that out, that has to go on the record. It’s such a good memory, that’s why it’s ended up on there."

「我祖父當時(在葬禮上)就對我說,他說,你一定要讓這首歌被大家聽到,這首歌應該放進專輯的。這的確是很好的紀念,所以這也是為什麼我最後決定把這首歌放在專輯裡。」

然後我必須坦承... 我邊看歌詞邊聽這首歌的時候很突然的就崩淚了

我自己也覺得很莫名其妙QQ 但我不禁想起大約兩年前,在過年之前的那段時間

我外公離開了人世,而我永遠忘不掉我媽在書桌前掉淚的畫面

一種不知道怎麼形容的心痛;這首歌都說出來了......

我想如果你也有類似的經歷,聽著聽著想哭、那就哭出來吧~眼淚是一種治癒 ;)

每每音樂訴說了家人的愛,總是最容易感觸

因為家庭是我們一輩子最深的羈絆...

Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up

[Verse 1]

I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill

我拿下了窗台上 那些超市裡買的鮮花

回憶一點一滴關於 被深愛過的靈魂

Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals

But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink

Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up

我已不成人形 心如刀割般疼痛

But I know

A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

And when God takes you back

當 上帝將你帶回的那一刻

We'll say Hallelujah

You're home

[Verse 2]

Fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up

拍了拍枕頭 整理了床鋪 將椅子都疊整齊

Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case

也把你的睡袍折好 乾淨地收進衣櫃

John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek

約翰說他來開車 然後用手心輕拂我的臉

And wiped a tear from the side of my face

溫柔地拭去 我一邊臉頰上的淚水

 

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I hope that I see the world as you did

我多希望我能看見你眼中的美麗

'Cause I know

展開你雙翼 飛向天空

And when God takes you back

當 上帝將你帶回的那一刻

We'll say Hallelujah

You're home

You were an angel in the shape of my mum

你彷彿是位天使 住在我母親的心房

You got to see the person I have become

請你看看我一路以來的蛻變成長

Spread your wings and I know

當你張開雙翼 我便明瞭

That when God took you back

當 上帝將你帶回的那一刻

He said Hallelujah

You're home

歡迎回到你的家


 


 

歌詞註解

 

[Verse 1]

I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill

我拿下了窗台上 那些超市裡買的鮮花

I threw the day old tea from the cup

倒掉了靜躺在杯裡一整天的茶

>old 在這裡是指放了很久,或是形容已經存在了很長一段時間。

Packed up the photo album Matthew had made

整理著馬修親手做的相本

>Matthew Sheeran 是艾德的長兄,同時他也是一位作曲家。下方圖片是比較年輕一點的艾德一家人,有艾德、艾德的母親 Imogen、艾德他哥 Matthew、與父親 John Sheeran。

Memories of a life that's been loved

回憶一點一滴關於 被深愛過的靈魂

>這句用英文的邏輯來直譯會是「一個曾被深愛著的生命的所有回憶」XD

Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals

收好這些祝福卡片 跟好多動物玩偶

>get well soon cards 很好理解,就是「祝你早日康復」等等的祝福卡片。stuffed 是「被填滿...的」,stuffed + N 依不同物品會有不同意思,如 stuffed doll, stuffed toys 為填充、絨毛娃娃,stuffed chicken, stuffed pizza 就是有內餡的食物XD

(看起來好好吃...)

Poured the old ginger beer down the sink

也把久放的薑酒 倒進了水槽中

>ginger beer 是由汽水加薑調配而成的飲品,據說薑味並不會很重,味道是甜的,而且喝完還有薑讓人發熱的效果。延伸閱讀:http://lizostar.pixnet.net/blog/post/27212574 - "Ginger beer - 薑汁啤酒不是酒?!"

Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"

父親總是和我說「不要哭,就算你感到悲傷」

But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink

但媽媽,我的每一個眨眼都充滿了淚水

>Ed 寫的歌詞一如往常的極富畫面感;supermarket flowers, get well soon cards, and stuffed animals,這些從親朋好友那裏收到的祝福禮物都代表了對祖母的關愛和照顧,有一種溫暖的感覺,而歌詞中 Ed 用他母親的角度描寫她將這些東西都收了起來,甚至桌上還有沒喝完的薑酒跟茶,代表祖母的離去是如此突然,讓他母親心痛不已。

 

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up

我已不成人形 心如刀割般疼痛

But I know

但我知道

A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

一份愛之所以痛 是因為曾經那樣深愛過

 

[Chorus]

So I'll sing Hallelujah

所以我要唱哈雷路亞

You were an angel in the shape of my mum

你宛若一位天使 住在我母親的心房

>在 Shape Of You 的那篇翻譯中提到了 "shape" 的弦外之音,除了是輪廓與外型,也可能是形容了人的整個感覺塑造出來的 shape;這句歌詞可以將艾德祖母的靈魂當作一位天使,到人間來陪伴扶持她的女兒(這首歌的第一人稱)。

When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

當我每次受傷 你在身旁扶持我成長

Spread your wings as you go

展開你雙翼 飛向天空

And when God takes you back

當 上帝將你帶回的那一刻

We'll say Hallelujah

我們歌頌哈雷路亞

You're home

你不會再流浪

>艾德祖母的離去彷彿一位天使歸去原本的地方;她的使命達成了,回到上帝的身邊,是幸福而祥和的

 

[Verse 2]

Fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up

拍了拍枕頭 整理了床鋪 將椅子都疊整齊

>fluff 當動詞為使蓬鬆、起絨。但除此之外也有搞砸的意思,如 fluff the test 搞砸了考試;當名詞可以指輕軟蓬鬆、毛茸茸、成團的東西。

Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case

也把你的睡袍折好 乾淨地收進衣櫃

John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek

約翰說他來開車 然後用手心輕拂我的臉

>John 是艾德的父親,以這首歌的第一人稱,艾德的母親視角而言就是她的丈夫。下方照片是艾德父母親的合照。

And wiped a tear from the side of my face

溫柔地拭去 我一邊臉頰上的淚水

 

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I hope that I see the world as you did

我多希望我能看見你眼中的美麗

'Cause I know

因為我知道

A life with love is a life that's been lived

擁有愛的人生 就是一段精彩的歲月
