就讓我一個人在這黑暗中呆會兒
就讓我沉溺在這無邊的寂靜裏
這讓我有回家的感覺
至暗至黑中
那些模糊的記憶碎片
逐漸清晰在眼前
極度寂靜裏
那些崖底最微弱的呼喚
再次浮上生命的荒原
我跑得太遠
也玩得太久了
這麽多年
無限循環的春花秋月
永不休止的塵囂世喧
我窒息暈眩
我疲憊不堪
所以帶我回家吧
在我倒下之前
可是丟失的家園
早已無跡可尋
那就在我倒下之前
把我交給無邊的寂靜與黑暗
至少這樣
我有回家的感覺
自由
而安全
Bring Me Home by 莎黛(Sade):
The ground is full of broken stones
The last leaf has fallen
I have nowhere to turn now
Nor east nor west, north or south
And all that's ahead of me
Everything I know
I know nothing so
So bring me home
Put me on a plate with petals and a fire
And send me out to sea
Turn my angry sword against my heart
And let me free
The dawn holds
The heaviness of the night
I've heard the restless sighs and lover's lies
The brook, the beach and seen the devil's eyes
So bring me home
I've cried for the lives I've lost
Like a child in need of love
Oh and I've been so close but far away from God
My tears flow like a child's in need of love
I've cried the tears
So let the tide take me, I won't fight
I've cried the tears
The small step I need to take is a mountain
Stretched out like a lazy dog
Send me to slaughter
Lay me on the railway line, I'm far away from God
My tears flow like a child's in need of love
I've cried the tears
So build the fire, light the flame
Bring me home
莎黛獨特的嗓音低沉而富有磁性,她的歌曲則像發自靈魂深處的緩緩訴說,詩意十足,有“寂靜風暴”之譽。Smooth Operator, Sweetest Taboo, Someone Already Broke My Heart, By Your Side等作品為人熟知已久。而這首Bring Me Home,還有另外兩首Jezebel和Pearls,最能將我打動,絕望的悲傷裏蘊藏著生生不息的力量。她和樂隊的現場表演往往比錄音版更有感染力。
在這風和日麗的初春,我卻寫下了黑暗的文字:)
