中文歌词:我们最需要好运的时候它在哪里,你踢起地上的落叶,魔法消失了。你告诉我你蔚蓝的天空渐已灰暗,你告诉我你心中的热情也已冷淡,而我不必再去坚持。站在情绪低谷的边缘,你强装微笑,品着咖啡。你告诉我……
本网小评:不知多少人一天的生活是从闹钟开始的?对于这支曲子,很多人更喜欢它的MTV,所以,今天的点评也先从MTV最初那段先声夺人的“闹钟”开始——尽管,整部MTV之所以叫座,是因为它的故事与几米漫画里的《向左走向右走》颇有异曲同工之处……
推荐歌曲:Free loop——这是一种什么样的感觉?“想告诉爱人,我是爱你的,我已习惯了把你名字挂在口边,但是不知为什么,今天就是懒懒的;想告诉家人,我一直梦想能不负众望,为家乡赢得声誉,但是不知为什么,今天就是懒懒的……”
然而,即使是在这种无奈的、懒懒的情绪中徘徊,即使心中的爱无法表达,遥远的理想无法实现,我还是要说:对我来说,失败很难……
Lyrics
Bad day by Daniel Powter
Where is the moment when we needitthe most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
You tell me your blue sky's fade to gray
You tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line justto hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been wayoff line
You'refalling to piecesevery time
And I don't need no carryin' on
Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
Youwork at a smileand yougo for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oooh.. a holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole things it turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
(yeah...)
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time?
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

2. And I don't need no carryin' on=And I don't need to carry on(我不必再去坚持)
在歌曲Don't worry, be happy里,我们曾见过类似的表达,即“双重否定依然表否定”。
3. hit a new low:be out of luck; be in a (melancholy) mood(处于低谷;运气不佳;心情很糟;即我们说的“霉运来了”)

7. work at a smile:“强挤出一丝微笑”, 形容笑得很艰难。
8. go for a ride: 可以理解为“乘公车去上班”,也可以理解为“开车去兜风”。依据这首歌的MTV和整首歌的意境,前者更贴切一点。
