Self Control

★★★★★

一直記得我曾ｐｏ過這張，可我自己都找不到

突然想聽～～～～就ＰＯ囉

The Lucky One

Self Control

Oh, the night is my world
City light, painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walking
Down the street of my soul

噢，夜是屬於我的世界
城市燈火，濃妝豔抹的女孩
在大白天是沒什麼
一到夜裡，卻讓人心情愉悅
在夜裡沒有管制
穿牆越壁，什麼東西碎了？
穿上白衣，當你走在
走在我靈魂的街道上

You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control

你使我失去了自我控制
你使我只能在夜晚生活
在清晨來臨以前，故事已盡
你使我失去了自我控制

Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control

夜晚來臨，又是一天結束
我不斷的懷疑
你使我忘記扮演我的角色
你使我失去了自我控制

*I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes

 

我，我活在夜行性生物中
我沒有嘗試和奮戰的勇氣
去對抗新的明天
所以我只好相信
明天永遠不會來

A safe night
I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
So I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go

一個安全的夜
我活在夢的叢林中
我明白夜晚並非如其所見
我必得信任某些事物
所以，我會假裝相信
今晚永遠不會離開

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

哦───
哦───

Oh, the night is my world
City light, painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters (*)

噢，夜是屬於我的世界
城市燈火，濃妝豔抹的女孩
在大白天是沒什麼
一到夜裡，卻讓人心情愉悅

 

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my self control...

 

哦───
你使我失去了自我控制

Ti amo

You're always on the run now
妳總是在奔跑
Runnin' after somebody
追逐著某個人
You've gotta get him somehow

I think you've got to slow down
我想妳應該放慢步調
Before you start to blow it
在妳開始搞砸之前

So be careful not to show it
所以小心地不要表現出來

他說過的一些話嗎?
All the voices in your head calling, Gloria
妳腦海中的理智正呼喚妳, 葛蘿莉亞

妳不覺得妳在沉淪嗎
If everybody wants you
如果大家都想要妳
Why isn't anybody calling?
為何沒有人打電話給妳?
You don't have to answer
妳不必回答
Leave them hanging on the line
離開電話不要握住不放
Calling Gloria

Will you meet him on the main line?
妳會在大馬路上遇見他嗎?
Or will you catch him on the rebound?
還是妳會在籃板上抓住他?
Will you marry for the money?
妳是否會為了錢結婚?
Take a lover in the afternoon?
然後在下午時刻偷情?
Feel your innocence slipping away
我感覺妳的純真已蕩然無存
Don't believe it's coming back soon
別指望純真會馬上回復
And you really don't remember

Was it something that he said?

All the voices in your head calling, Gloria
妳腦海中的理智正呼喚妳, 葛蘿莉亞

How Am I Supposed To Live Without You

I could hardly believe it When I heard the news today I had to come and get it straight from you They said you were leaving Someone's swept your heart away From the look upon your face, I see it's true So tell me all about it Tell me about the plans you're making Then tell me one thing more before I go Tell me how am I supposed to live without you Now that I've been loving you so long How am I supposed to live without you How am I supposed to carry on When all that I've been living for is gone I didn't come here for crying Didn't come here to breakdown It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end And how can I blame you When I build my world around The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming When even now It's more than I can take And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming Now that your dream has come true

失去你，我怎麼活下去？   我真是難以相信 當我今天聽到這消息時 我必須馬上趕到妳的身旁 他們說妳已離開了 某個人已帶走了妳的心 從妳的臉上看來，我瞭解，那是真的 所以，全告訴我吧 告訴我妳的計劃 在我走之前，再多說一點點 告訴我，失去妳我怎麼活下去 我已經愛妳那麼久 沒有妳，日子要如何渡過 我要如何繼續下去 當所有生活的原動力已不見了 我不是為了哭叫才到這來的 更不是來這傷悲的 這也僅只是我的夢醒了而已 我怎麼會去責備妳 當我在建造我的世界時 我多麼地盼望，有天我倆不只是朋友 我也不想知道它的代價 只因我會為夢想付出代價的 甚至超過現在我能力所及 我真的不想知道它的代價 只因我會為夢想付出代價的 此刻，妳的夢想會成真的
