work 歌詞
Andy was a catholic, the ethic ran through his bones
安迪信奉天主教,基督的道德準則深入他的骨髓
He lived alone with his mother, collecting gossip and toys
他曾和母親單獨住在一起,收集著八卦和玩具
Every sunday when he went to church
每到禮拜日,當他去教堂的時候
He'd kneel in his pew and say, 'it's just work,
他會跪在長椅上說,“只有工作,
All that matters is work.'
世上唯一重要的就是工作。”
He was a lot of things, what I remember most
我印象最深的是,他那時身兼多職
He'd say, 'I've got to bring home the bacon,
他會說:“我得把這些熏肉帶回家,
someone's got to bring home the roast.'
誰來把這些烤肉帶回去?”
He'd get to the factory early
他會早早地來到“工廠”(安迪·沃霍爾在紐約的工作室)
If you'd ask him he'd tell you straight out
如果你問他為什麼,他會毫不猶豫的告訴你
It's just work,
“這只是工作罷了”
No matter what I did it never seemed enough
不管我做得多好,他永遠嫌不夠
He said I was lazy, I said I was young
他說我是個懶漢,我爭辯我只是年輕
He said, 'how many songs did you write?'
他問:“你寫了多少歌?”
I 'd written zero, I'd lied and said, 'ten.'
我可能一首都沒寫,但我會撒謊說:“十首”
'You won't be young forever
“你不可能永遠年輕,
You should have written fifteen.'
你本該寫個十五首。
It's work,
這就是工作! ”
'you ought to make things big
“你應該去把事情鬧大
People like it that way
人們就喜歡那樣
And the songs with the dirty words –make sure record them that way'
至於那些滿是髒話的歌——確保你一字不改地錄下來”
Andy liked to stir up trouble, he was funny that way
安迪很喜歡搞事情,他那樣的時候真是滑稽
he said that's just work
而他說那隻是工作罷了
Andy sat down to talk one day
某天安迪想和我坐下來聊聊
He said decide what you want
他說:“你要決定你想要什麼
Do you want to expand your parameters
你想要擴展你的眼界嗎?
Or play museums like some dilettante
還是只想當個涉獵甚淺的“萬事通”? ”
Ifired him on the spot, he got red and called me a rat
我一下子把他惹火了,他臉漲得通紅罵我是個小人
It was the worst word that he could think of
這是他想得到的最惡劣的詞語了
And I've never seen him like that
而我從沒見過他這么生氣
It's just work, I thought he said it's just work
這就是工作,我想他說這就是工作
Andy said a lot of things, I stored them all away in my head
安迪說過很多事情,我都把它們牢記在腦海裡
Sometimes when I can't decide what I should do
有些時候我難以決定該做什麼
I think what would andy have said
我就會想像安迪對此會怎麼說
He'd probably say you think too much
他可能會說我想太多了
That's 'cause there's work that you don't want to do
那是因為有些事情你不想去做
It's work, the most important thing is work
這就是工作,最重要的事情就是工作
It's work, the most important thing is work
這就是工作,最重要的事情就是工作
