telling stories
Tracy Chapman
telling stories 歌詞
There is fiction in the space between
在你的記憶之間
The lines on your page of memories
存在著你的想像
Write it down but it doesn't mean
把它們寫下來
You're not just telling stories
也只是說明你在講個故事而已
There is fiction in the space between
在你和現實之間
You and reality
也存在著你的想像
You will do and say anything
你會想盡辦法地
To make your everyday life
讓你的生活看起來
Seem less mundane
不那麼平凡
There is fiction in the space between
在你和我之間
You and me
存在著你的想像
There's a science fiction in the space between
在你我之間
You and me
彷彿上演著一部科幻小說
A fabrication of a grand scheme
一個精心策劃的驚天大陰謀
Where I am the scary monster
我是這個陰謀裡面的可怕怪獸
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
我毀掉整座城市,然後揚長而去
In my spaceship I am laughing
在我的太空船裡怪笑
In your remembrance of your bad dream
你回想一下你的噩夢吧
There's no one but you standing
那裡沒有別人,只有你一個人而已
Leave the pity and the blame
為了那些不能發聲的人
For the ones who do not speak
擯棄掉遺憾和責備吧
You write the words to get respect and compassion
你已經靠寫下這些字來得到尊重和同情了
And for posterity
也為了子孫後代
You write the words and make believe
你寫下這些字
There is truth in the space between
假裝裡面存有真理
There is fiction in the space between
你和他人之間
You and everybody
都存在著你的想像
Give us all what we need
給我們所有我們想要的吧
Give us one more sad sordid story
給我們更多一些悲傷可鄙的故事吧
But in the fiction of the space between
但這裡面存在著想像
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
有時候謊言是最好的一件事
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
有時候謊言是最好的一件事
