Take It Back - Ed Sheeran
I'm not a rapper;
我不是什么饶舌歌手
I'm a singer with a flow
只是节奏感很强的歌手
I've got a habit of spitting
你懂的
Quicker lyrics you know
我能快速说唱歌词
You found me ripping the writtens
你会发现我能脱稿快速说唱
Out of the pages they sit in
唱出歌词言外之意
And never want to get bitten
才不想被模仿
Because plagiarism is hidden
但剽窃者总是暗中抄袭
Watch how I sit on the rhythm
看我如何掌控旋律
Prisoner with a vision
书写我的节奏
Signs of a label
不理会外界流言蜚语
But didn't listen to any criticism
我决然签约
Thought you knew but you didn't
还以为你了解我吧 其实不然
So perk your ears up and listen
就竖起你的耳朵听好
Studio is a system
音乐室只是个
And you could say that I'm driven
你评论我跟随大流的写歌地罢了
And now it's on to the next saga
我们喝着最好的啤酒
We drink the best lager
我也能立即谱曲写歌
I never tried to win you
我才没想过
Over like your stepfather
特意讨你欢心
I do my own thing now
我会做我自己
And get respect after
靠这个赢得尊重
And I'm avoiding the cane
我不想
Like it was Get Carter
成为Get Carter那样的黑帮人员
For four years I never had a place to stay
四年来我一直居无定所
But it's safe to say
但这让我
That it kept me grounded
深刻的体会到
Like a paperweight
脚踏实地的踏实感
At 16 years old
十六岁时
Yeah I moved out of my home
我离开家
I was Macy Gray
我曾想做灵魂歌者Macy Gray
I tried to say goodbye and
我想跟家人道别
I choked
却哽咽的说不出话
Went from sleeping
落魄的我
At the subway station
浪迹在地铁里
Sleeping with a movie star
现在住在
And adding to the population
电影明星才能住上的豪宅里
Not my imagination
这并不是我的幻想
I don't want to relax
我不会丝毫懈怠
But would it hurt your reputation
如果我将这故事编成歌
If I put it on wax
这会不会毁了你的名声
So take it back now
就当我没说好了
C'mon and take it back love
收回那些所谓的爱吧
C'mon and take it back for us
这样对我们彼此都好
Don't you fade into the back love
难道你会淡忘这一切
Ooooh
Take it back with the rhythm and blues
用蓝调将过去编成歌
And my back pack
唱着新歌词
I'll be singing the news
回首往昔
Trying to act like Jack Black
还是学生时
When I bring 'em to school
曾假装自己就是Jack Black
I'll make a beat with my feet by
我用脚来
Just hitting a loop
拍打节拍
Bringing the lyrics to prove
希望能用这些歌
That I can fit in these shoes
来证明我适合做个歌手
And keeping the truth
透过麦克风
Through the vocal booth
说出自己的真情实感
Stars burst out on the scene
像是欧宝水果软糖一样
Like an opal fruit
我迅速蹿红
They try and take aim like Beckham
媒体们都争先恐后报道我
When he goes to shoot
如同我就是贝克汉姆
But then again
但这不就是
That's what they're supposed to do
他们的本职工作吗
And I'm supposed to be calm
我应该镇定自如 坦然应对
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
我把歌词纹上手臂
Whispering everything
告诉自己
That happens is from now on
未来的一切从此刻开始
I'll be willing to start again
我已准备好
By the end of the song
再唱一次
Still they claim that I handled it wrong
他们仍批评我 说我处理的不好
But then I never had an enemy
除了NME杂志
Except for NME
我从来没有什么死对头
But I'll be selling twice as many copies
但我这张专辑会是那杂志
As the magazines will ever be
销售量的两倍之多
With only spectacles ahead of me
还有各种演唱会
And festival fees
以及庆典表演都等着我
And healthier
放心
Than a Dalmatian on pedigree
我会注意身体 保持健康
Singing for the masses
为大众而唱
Rubber dinghy rapids
唱出他们的心声
Keep this rapping a habit
我习惯说唱
And keep on passioning magic
仍会保持这份喜爱
I'm battling with respect
我会用歌声赢得尊重
I don't know if I'll have it
但我清楚我不一定会赢到
This songs from the heart
这首歌发自真心
Cover the planet
就会流传甚广
I'll take it back now
但就当我没说过
C'mon and take it back love
收回那些所谓的爱吧
C'mon and take it back for us
这样对我们彼此都好
Don't you fade into the back love
难道你会淡忘这一切
Ooooh
Take it back now
我收回这些大言不惭的话
I don't ever want to be perfect
我从未奢求过完美
Cause I'm a singer that you
因为我只是个歌手
Never want to see shirtless
并不是靠外貌走红的歌手
I accept the fact
我必须接受事实
That someone's got to win worst-dressed
事实是总有人会得最差服装奖
Taking my first steps into the scene
众人都对我太多期待
Giving me focus
我必须专注
Putting on a brave face
勇敢的面对一切
Like Timothy Dalton
就像Timothy Dalton一样
Considering a name change
还考虑换个艺名
Thinking it was hopeless
总觉得那也没用
Rhyming over recordings
歌曲注重押韵
Avoiding tradition
不喜欢一成不变
Cause every day some lyrics
因为每一天我都会写些新歌
And a melody can be written
创作些旋律
Now absence can make your heart ache
缺席任何演出我就会心痒难耐
But drinking absinthe
但喝杯苦艾酒
Can change your mind-state vividly
就会彻底改变你的想法
I need to let my liver be
我也需要一些改变
And I say it again
我再说一遍
Living life on the edge
生活中满是朋友
With a closed hand full of friends
却还是觉得孤独
Is good advice from a man
这是一个哥们的原话
Who took his life on the road with me
他跟我一起表演的时候说的
And I hope to see him
我希望有一天
Blowing up globally
他能红遍全世界
Cause that's how it's supposed to be
这是他应得的
I'm screaming out vocally
我会真心为他欢呼
Might seem totally impossible
梦似乎很难实现
Achieving life's dreams
因为生活本身就是场梦
But but I just write schemes
但我已经为自己计划好了
I'm never having a stylist
我不需要
Giving me tight jeans
为我提供紧身牛仔裤的造型师
Madison Square Garden
麦迪逊广场花园
Is where I might be
会是我渴望去的地方
But more likely
但更多的时候
You'll find me in the back
你会发现我
Room of a dive bar with my mates
会在和哥们聚会的包厢里
Having a pint with McDaid
喝着酒
Discussing records we made
谈论我们一起创作的专辑
And every single second knowing
我们拥有都明白
That we'll never betray
我们绝不会背叛彼此
The way we were raised
我们才不是一般的酒友
Remembering our background
我们了解彼此
Sat down
熟知彼此
That's how we plan it out;
这就是我们的计划
It's time to take it back now
是时候收回我大言不惭的那些话
C'mon and take it back love
收回那些所谓的爱吧
C'mon and take it back for us
这样对我们彼此都好
Don't you fade into the back love
难道你会淡忘这一切
Ooooh
C'mon and take it back love
收回那些所谓的爱吧
C'mon and take it back for us
这样对我们彼此都好
Don't you fade into the back love
难道你会淡忘这一切
Ooooh
