Sia:
Is it the pain of the drinking
究竟是沉溺酒精的痛苦
Or the Sunday sinking feeling
还是周日颓丧的心情作祟
The car never seems to work
车子似乎永远无法发动
When it's late your girlfriend's on a date
深夜时分 你的女友正在约会
And the hero with her in your dream
男主人公与她一起出现在你的梦境之中
In your sleep it seemed to like you
在你的睡梦中 似乎就像你一样
Sia:
Turn around ask yourself
转过身来 扪心自问
Turn around ask yourself
转过身来 扪心自问
Manchild will you ever win
幼稚的男人 你能否赢得胜利
Manchild look at the state you're in
幼稚的男人 看看你现在的状态
Sia:
Could you go undercover
你能否成为卧底
And sell your brand new lover
出卖你的新欢
Could you
你能否做到
Be someone else for a night
让自己变成另一幅模样 哪怕只是一晚也好
Maybe someone else will love you
也许会有别人爱上你
You sell your soul for a tacky song
你为了一首俗不可耐的歌出卖自己的灵魂
Like the one you hear on the radio
与你在电台里听到的那首歌如出一辙
Sia:
Turn around ask yourself
转过身来 扪心自问
Turn around ask yourself

幼稚的男人 幼稚的男人 幼稚的男人
Sia:
From Monday down to Friday
从周一到周五
You're working on another man's car
你在另一个男人的车上忙得不可开交
Or is it in the factory
或者是在工厂里面
It doesn't matter where you are
你身在何处并不重要
Neneh Cherry:
Just turn around and ask yourself is this communication
转过身来 问问自己 这算是沟通吗
Accentuate the positive to give some illustration
强调积极的一面 为自己提供佐证
See Manchild you're no one you turn the microphone on
你瞧 幼稚的男人 你微不足道 你打开麦克风
Control communication when I'm kickin' it and so on
当我开始侃侃而谈时 掌控这场交谈
To the point that I need the air that I breathe
直截了当地说明我的需求 我呼吸着新鲜空气
Into an audience that's waiting and ecstatic to receive
传递到正在等待的观众面前 欣喜若狂地用心倾听
For the meantime another mean rhyme I keep on sayin' it
与此同时 我口齿伶俐 妙语迭出
I know what the time is the crowd will keep on playing it
我知道什么时候观众会继续沉浸其中
Through the speaker boxes loud's my diagnosis
通过音响 让我的判断变得振聋发聩
'Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses
因为我相信奇迹和语言的无穷魅力
Enough R-E-S-P-E and C-T
致以足够的敬意
Respect yourself express no stress the mike is easy
尊重你自己 游刃有余地呈现精彩演出
Just believe that all you need is the air that you breathe
只要相信你所需要的就是你呼吸的新鲜空气

He's the apple of your eye

Neneh Cherry:
Once bitten twice shy why don't you bite me again
所谓一朝被蛇咬十年怕井绳 你为什么不再次中伤我
Just take it in the right and go tell your friend
将一切铭记于心 迫不及待地告诉你的朋友
Are you ready for the words I turn the microphone on
你是否做好准备 聆听我在麦克风前诉说的话语
A figure of speech to reach you at the back and so on
借助比喻性的说法能够发人深省
The style I'm stimulating dance floors

Raise your body temperature now and
现在就让你的体温升高
This demands for power in the amp you know loud's my diagnosis
这需要调高音响的音量 你知道让我的判断变得振聋发聩
'Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses
