大偽裝者 The Great Pretender - The Platters

下載音樂

本曲大意



這首歌敘述一個男孩子雖然失戀了,但仍假裝若無其事,一點也不在乎的樣子。雖然這麽做可以掩飾一個失戀者的心,但偶爾還是得發泄一下。因此,當你(妳)失戀,想哭又怕有失麵子時,雄哥建議,不妨立即回家躲在棉被裏嚎啕大哭一場,既可發泄又不失麵子。或許有讀者會想知道雄哥是否有此經驗──這是秘密!

英文歌詞

Oh, yes, Im the great pretender, pretending that Im doing well. My need is such, I pretend too much. Im lonely, but no one can tell.

Oh, yes, Im the great pretender adrift in a world of my own. I play the game, but to my real shame, youve left me to dream all alone.

Too real is this feeling of make-believe. Too real what I feel, what my heart cant conceal. Oh, yes, Im the great pretender, just laughing and gay like a clown. I seem to be what Im not you see. Im wearing my heart like a crown, pretending that youre still around.



中文歌詞



噢,的確,我是個善於偽裝的人,假裝我仍若無其事的樣子。我對妳的需求是如此的強烈以致於我假裝過頭了。我是如此的寂寞,但卻無人能看出來。

噢,的確,我是個最好的偽裝者,在屬於我的世界裏漂流著。我一直玩著偽裝的遊戲,但令我真正感到羞恥的是,妳竟留下我獨自做我的春秋大夢。

對我而言,這種偽裝的感覺太真實了。我所感覺的,也就是我內心無法隱藏的感覺實在太真實了。噢,的確,我很善於偽裝,並借著扮演一個快樂小醜來嘲弄自己。如今,我好象不是妳表麵上所看到的我。我把我內心的悲傷埋藏起來,讓我在外表看起來就像個國王般的意氣風發,假裝著妳仍在我身旁。

to let her know that Im feeling sad because of her. So I pretend as

if nothing has happened. And Im very good at it.

雖然我現在心裏非常悲傷, 但我並不想讓人們知道我的感受。因此, 在表麵上, 我依然看起來像個國王般非常快樂。
