Praying是美国流行女歌手Kesha第三张录音室专辑《Rainbow》的首支单曲,于2017年7月6日正式发行。歌曲以简单的钢琴伴奏为主轴,接着弦乐和鼓的辅佐,套入福音和灵魂的元素,从强烈的情感交织,到引爆强大的高音呈现,俐落造就这首难度极高的歌曲。
Kesha,美国流行女歌手。2005年她已踏入业界,负责作词作曲,背景合音,并在一些MV中友情出演过。Kesha家里经济状况一直不好,离家开始工作的2005年-2009年这四年里又无名,只靠着唱合声和当服务生打零工,更是穷得要命,她的艺名“Kesha”中包含了货币符号,有部分原因就是在说她需要钱,又因为这个,歌迷们亲切地称她为“钱妞”。
Well, you almost had me fooled
我必须承认 你的诡计几乎让我自堕志气
Told me that I was nothing without you
你说我若无你相助 将一无是处
Oh, but after everything you've done
可当你耍尽一切心机手段
I can thank you for how strong I have become
我终究炼成铜筋铁骨 坚不可摧
'Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell
你投我入地狱 在焚身烈焰中痛不欲生
I had to learn how to fight for myself
我却誓死抗争 在山穷水尽处凤凰涅槃
And we both know all the truth I could tell
我所说的真相 你我心知肚明
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell
时过境迁 只余下一句愿你一路平安
I hope you're somewhere praying, praying
我期望你正在你的旅途上尽心祈祷
I hope your soul is changing, changing
我愿你被恶魔攫取的灵魂得以解脱
I hope you find your peace
我愿你获得平静
Falling on your knees, praying
降跽谢过 虔诚祈祷
I'm proud of who I am
我为自己的独一无二喝彩
No more monsters, I can breathe again
邪祟散尽 我终于得以自由呼吸
And you said that I was done
你说过我将再无出头之日
Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come
可你大错特错 我即将撰写我最绚烂的篇章
'Cause I can make it on my own
我仅靠自己便能征服一切
And I don't need you, I found a strength I've never known
何必你在旁指点江山 我从未感受过的力量 如今在我血脉中恣意激荡
I've been thrown out, I've been burned
即使我曾被弃若敝屣 焚烧殆尽
When I'm finished, they won't even know your name
但当我光辉落幕 你的名字将无人知晓
You brought the flames and you put me through hell
你投我入地狱 在焚身烈焰中痛不欲生
I had to learn how to fight for myself
我却誓死抗争 在山穷水尽处凤凰涅槃
And we both know all the truth I could tell
我们熟知的真相 依旧能让你的灵魂震栗不安
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell
千帆过尽 我只愿你切记天道轮回
I hope you're somewhere praying, praying
我期望你正在你的旅途上尽心祈祷
I hope your soul is changing, changing
我愿你被恶魔攫取的灵魂得以解脱
I hope you find your peace
我愿你能寻到片刻心安
Falling on your knees, praying
跪下双膝 虔诚祈祷
Oh, sometimes, I pray for you at night
有时 我在夜深人静时为你祷告
Someday, maybe you'll see the light
或许会有一天 你被黑暗囚禁的灵魂将挣开桎梏 拥抱光明
Oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get what you give
有人说 生命中的喜悲宠辱终将各有回报
But some things, only God can forgive
可锥心之恨 岂是一介凡人可以释怀原谅
I hope you're somewhere praying, praying
我期望你正停下步伐尽心祈祷
I hope your soul is changing, changing
我祝愿你邪恶的灵魂得以褪尽污迹
I hope you find your peace
我愿你终能平静安好
Falling on your knees, praying
降跽谢过 虔诚祈祷
