[Verse 1]

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me

有時候我能感覺到 她在天上注視著我

And other times I feel like I should go

在某些時刻裡 我意識到自己該付諸行動

And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets

當走過這一切、這巔峰與頹落、大街小巷裡的人群

And when you're gone, we want you all to know

當你離去的那一刻,我們希望你全都懂 -

 

[Chorus]

We'll carry on

我們會撐下去

We'll carry on

我們會繼續走

And though you're dead and gone, believe me

就算你的軀體已死而逝去,相信我

Your memory will carry on

你留下的記憶會繼續前行

We'll carry on

我們會繼續前進

And in my heart I can't contain it

而一切湧入心底 我無法負荷

The anthem won't explain it

一首聖歌也無法說明

 

[Verse 2]

A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams

這個世界讓你騷亂  無數夢想葬身其中

Your misery and hate will kill us all

你的悲慘和哀怨會殺死我們的眼眸

So paint it black and take it back, let's shout it loud and clear

所以把夢塗黑、再將一切奪回,一起大聲嘶吼出口

Defiant to the end we hear the call

這一場反叛的暴動  我們都聽見了昭告

 

[Chorus]

To carry on

高喊繼續前行

We'll carry on

我們絕不會放棄

And though you're dead and gone, believe me

雖然你的軀體消逝於人間,相信我

Your memory will carry on

你心中的意志會留給世界的

We'll carry on

我們會繼續下去的

And though you're broken and defeated

就算你的靈魂已破碎得不堪一擊

Your weary widow marches

而你孤獨的妻子踽踽獨行

 

[Bridge]

On and on, we carry through the fears

從未止息 我們背著恐懼走過

Oh, oh, oh

Disappointed faces of your peers

望著周遭那些失望的臉孔

Oh, oh, oh

Take a look at me, 'cause I could not care at all

轉過頭看看我,我就是敢於不顧一切

 

Do or die, you'll never make me

是否放手一搏,不會由你掌控

Because the world will never take my heart

因為這個世界,絕不可能奪走我的心

Go and try, you'll never break me

踏出那一步吧,你打敗不了我

We want it all, we wanna play this part

我們追求一切,我們要共譜這篇樂章

I won't explain or say I'm sorry

我不會說明,也不會低頭抱歉

I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars

我就是厚臉皮,我就要揭露我驕傲的傷疤

Give a cheer for all the broken

這一陣掌聲,為所有破碎之人

Listen here, because it's who we are

給我聽著,因為這就是我們

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero

我只是個凡人,不是個英雄

Just a boy, who had to sing this song

只是個男孩,一心高唱這首歌的孩子

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero

我就是個凡人,不是什麼英雄

I don't care

管 - 它 - 的!

 

[Chorus]

我們會繼續前行

We'll carry on

我們絕不會放棄

And though you're dead and gone, believe me

雖然你的軀體消逝於人間,相信我

[Bridge/Outro]

Do or die, you'll never make me

破釜或沉舟,你主導不了我

Because the world will never take my heart

這個世界,永不能奪走我的初心

Go and try, you'll never break me

勇敢去嘗試,你摧毀不了我

We want it all, we wanna play this part

歌曲介紹心得

 

 

終於翻了他們的歌曲,現已解散的 MCR

很遺憾其實我是在他們解散才認識他們,但也同時慶幸自己能聽到他們的歌曲

 

My-Chemical-Romance-920x584.jpg

 

這首歌出自專輯黑暗行軍 "The Black Parade"

主唱說整張專輯圍繞在 The Patient 身上,一個因癌早逝的人

而這首 "Welcome to the Black Parade" 說的概念是

「當你死去時,死神會以你最美好的記憶形式出現」

而 The Patient 死去之時,因為小時候的一場遊行是他最深刻的記憶

所以死神化作 The Black Parade,來迎接他

 

be17c1553589e94335e7654927626534f51e4ff6_hq.gif

 

這首歌作為專輯第一主打,開頭的 G 大調鋼琴前奏如今成為許多人的感觸

 

(鬧事)

 

當初第一次聽到這首歌,沒有看 MV,就純聽音樂

聽著起頭的鋼琴無助而清脆,接著慢慢的鼓聲愈漸激昂

突然開始奔跑起來的節奏,讓我的心頭也開始滿溢什麼

這種搖滾,不斷高歌 We'll carry on 這種超正面的 anthem 明明可能陳腔濫調

但主唱 Gerard Way 帶些嘶吼的高音飽含一分傷痛的靈魂

讓這首歌不是純粹的心靈雞湯,而是有痛有淚有人性的作品

 

maxresdefault.jpg

dealing with demons 與心魔抗衡的這種主題

在他們前一張專輯 "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge" 就有
但這張黑暗行軍更加成熟,也更富層次

 

這首歌裡吉他的曲折與整首歌的鋪陳讓我腦海裡出現一個孩子

他無所顧忌的狂奔

就算摔得七八爛也會馬上爬起來要追上什麼東西

我不知道他在追什麼,但似乎很耀眼

似乎追上後就擁有了一切。但真的會擁有一切嗎?

我唯一確定的是他在奔跑時,臉上掛著滿足的笑容

 

可以很矯情的說這首歌唱出一分希望、帶給歌迷一種難以言喻的眷戀與懷舊 (nostalgic)

這也是為什麼 MCR 久留人心,堪稱搖滾迷心目中的神團

 

看著他們現場演出還是好希望他們回歸出個新歌嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚

 

 


 

歌曲註解

 

[Intro]

When I was a young boy

My father took me into the city

To see a marching band

Marching 行軍、遊行,band 樂隊,示意圖:

marching-band-1200x630.jpg

 

He said, "Son, when you grow up

Would you be the savior of the broken

The beaten and the damned?"

上面是一整句,父親對兒子的訴說與期許

- savior of the broken 破碎人們的救世者

- save 拯救  savior 救世者

the + 形容詞代表有某種特性的一群人

最後一段 the beaten 表示被擊敗的一群人

the damned 表示命運多舛的一群人

 

He said, "Will you defeat them?

Your demons, and all the non-believers

all the non-believers 所有心無信念之人

之前翻過謎幻樂團的 believer 了,所以可以直接明白

non-believer 可以說是出賣了靈魂,充滿欺瞞與利益者

心中失去了最本初的信念,為錢或其他自利而作惡

 

The plans that they have made?"

they 承接上句是代表 non-believers

the plans 表他們為惡的計畫

 

"Because one day, I'll leave you

leave 這個字很有去,它可以是「離開」也可以是「留下」

如歌詞裡說的「我將離開你」

或是接下一句成為 I’ll leave you a phantom

變成「我將留下一份靈魂」

 

A phantom to lead you in the summer

To join the black parade"

When I was a young boy

My father took me into the city

To see a marching band

He said, "Son, when you grow up

Would you be the savior of the broken

The beaten and the damned?"

 

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me

這裡的 she 有幾種可能

1. 死亡的意象

2. 指涉聖母瑪麗亞 (Mary Mother of God)

3. 主唱 Gerard Way 跟貝斯手 Mikey Way 兄弟兩人的祖母(另有一首歌 Helena 便是為她而唱)

 

And other times I feel like I should go

And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets

這句給我的畫面是臨死前的人生跑馬燈
以一種飛快的畫面掠過所有快樂與悲傷,還有街上的所有人群 (bodies)
用 bodies 這個字眼比 people 更有肉軀之感了

 

另有一說是巡迴過程中主唱 Gerard Way 藉由酒精與藥品讓自己有更好的舞台演出

因此說 the rise and fall 是樂團名氣的高揚與主唱 Gerard Way 的墮落

但放心他後來成功戒除那些壞癮頭了

 

And when you're gone, we want you all to know

 

[Chorus]

We'll carry on

We'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone, believe me

Your memory will carry on

We'll carry on

 

And in my heart I can't contain it

The anthem won't explain it

一首歌或一份感覺

有時候滿溢到無法由一顆心獨自承載

即便是寫了一首歌也無法完全表達

 

[Verse 2]

A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams

這句有點長先拆解一下

send you reeling 讓你騷亂;

- reel 有顛簸、踉蹌、蹣跚、暈眩的意思,字面上有捲動、滾動的意象

reeling from sth 因為某事而陷入混亂、因某事而深受衝擊

- 例如 We are reeling from a slumping economy

decimated dreams 被剝奪的夢想

decimate 是毀滅、剷除、大幅削減某事物的意思

所以這句總和意思是這世界讓你暈眩,因為它毀滅了許多夢想

Your misery and hate will kill us all

So paint it black and take it back, let's shout it loud and clear

Defiant to the end we hear the call

這兩句搞得好像解放軍哈哈哈哈

paint it black 塗黑了就看不見,然而 it 除了是代表夢想、信念等之外我想不太到了

defiant 是形容詞,表示對抗、挑釁、以高姿態抗拒強權的意思

這裡我解讀 defiant to the end 宛如抗拒夢想被消滅 (呼應 decimated dreams)

 

[Chorus]

To carry on

We'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone, believe me

Your memory will carry on

We'll carry on

And though you're broken and defeated

Your weary widow marches

 

[Bridge]

On and on, we carry through the fears

carry through 有種一路扛著、經歷很多事的畫面感

Oh, oh, oh

Disappointed faces of your peers

peers 是同儕、同事等等,我直接翻成周遭的人

Oh, oh, oh

Take a look at me, 'cause I could not care at all

could not care at all 我他媽不在乎(兇什麼

could 可以  not care at all 一點都不在乎

Do or die, you'll never make me

do or die 作或死,直翻有點難聽,就是逼到懸崖邊了不跳就是死的概念

you’ll never make me 你永遠不會讓我… (cry, scare, give up)

這種保有空間的寫法我直接翻作,你不可能操控我,這種意思

Because the world will never take my heart

Go and try, you'll never break me

We want it all, we wanna play this part

play this part 好難翻,他讓我把活著解讀成一番故事或一齣戲

我們都想要在這個橋段、這個劇本裡頭玩得盡興

I won't explain or say I'm sorry

I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars

Give a cheer for all the broken

Listen here, because it's who we are

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero

Just a boy, who had to sing this song

這段好感人我要哭了 QQ

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero

I don't care

 

[Chorus]

We'll carry on

We'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone believe me

Your memory will carry on

We'll carry on

And though you're broken and defeated

Your weary widow marches

weary 疲憊的  widow 寡婦 march 行進

這裡比較可能是套用專輯概念,The Patient 病人的視角

他遺留妻子一人,獨自離開世界;故 weary widow 可能代表重要的人

 

[Bridge/Outro]

Do or die, you'll never make me

Because the world will never take my heart

Go and try, you'll never break me

We want it all, we wanna play this part

(We'll carry on!)

Do or die, you'll never make me

Because the world will never take my heart

Go and try, you'll never break me

We want it all, we wanna play this part

(We'll carry on!)
