Payphone by Maroon 5 & Wiz Khalifa
《Payphone》这首歌曲作为给Maroon 5的一位粉丝Nguyen Quynh Mai的生日礼物而被创作了出来。Benny Blanco当时想在Maroon 5的身上做出一个扭转,想给他们的歌加点嘻哈的元素。于是他找到了Wiz Khalifa让他写了这首歌的Rap歌词。
歌词(节选)欣赏:
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
我在公用电话前,尝试打电话回家
All of my change I spent on you
所有的零钱都用来打给你了
Where have the times gone baby
那些时光都到哪里去了,宝贝
It's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two
这些都是错的,那些我们为二人所作的计划在那里?
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
是的,我,我知道要记起这些很困难
The people we used to be
曾经的我们
It's even harder to picture
更别说去想象
That you're not here next to me
你不在我身边
You said it's too late to make it
你说现在已经太迟了
But is it too late to try?
但难道尝试会太晚?
And in our time that you wasted
还有那些你浪费了的,我们的旧日时光
All of our bridges burnt down
我们的一切都被毁了
I've wasted my nights
我的夜晚都徒劳了
You turned out the lights
你把灯光都熄灭
Now I'm paralyzed
现在我寸步不前
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
仍然困在我们所谓的爱的记忆里
But even the sun sets in paradise
就算太阳都出现在天堂里了
