HowCome,HowLong - Babyface (娃娃脸)/Stevie Wonder (史提夫·汪达)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
There was a girl I used to know she was oh so beautiful
我曾识得一位女子,她是那般明艳动人
But she's not here anymore she had a college degree
可她已不在人世,她本受过良好教育
Smart as anyone could be she had so much to live for
聪慧过人,本该有大好前程
But she fell in love with the wrong kind of man
奈何她坠入情网,却遇人不淑,错付终身
And he abused her love treated her so bad
他凌辱她的爱,将她百般折磨
There was not enough education in her world
在她的世界里,再多的学识也终究徒劳
That could save the life of this little girl
无法从深渊中救回这个柔弱的女孩
How come how long it's not right it's so wrong
何以至此,还要多久,是非曲直,早已崩塌
Do we let it just go on turn our backs and carry on
难道任由悲剧重演,袖手旁观,照旧生活?
Wake up for it's too late right now we can't wait
快些觉醒,莫待悔之晚矣,刻不容缓
She won't have a second try open up
生命无法重来,请敞开——
Your hearts as well as your eyes
敞开心扉,亦要擦亮双眼
She tried to give a cry for help she even blamed things
她曾尝试发出求救,甚至开始归咎——
On herself but no one came to her aid
归咎于己,却无一人伸出援手
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
就我们所见,似乎并无异样
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
那不过是我们用以自欺的谎言
But no it wasn't that way
可事实,绝非如此
So she fell in love with the wrong kinda man
于是她坠入情网,却遇人不淑
And she paid with her life for loving that man
因爱上那个非人,她付出了生命,香消玉殒
So we cannot ignore we must look for the signs
我们不能再视而不见,必须寻找那些求救的迹象
And maybe next time we may save somebody's life
或许下一次,我们就能挽救一条生命
How come how long it's not right it's so wrong
何以至此,还要多久,是非曲直,早已崩塌
Do we let it just go on turn our backs and carry on
难道任由悲剧重演,袖手旁观,照旧生活?
Wake up for it's too late right now we can't wait
快些觉醒,莫待悔之晚矣,刻不容缓
She won't have a second try
斯人已逝,再无归期
Open up your heart as well as your eyes
敞开心扉,亦要擦亮双眼
Ooh ooh I on occasion met that guy
偶然间,我曾见过那个男人
He stirred up feeling deep inside
他让我心底泛起阵阵不安
Something about him wasn't right
他身上透着某种阴鸷,极不对劲
The way he proves himself a man
他证明自己是“男子汉”的方式
By beating his woman with his hands
竟是对手无寸铁的爱人挥动拳头
Oh I wish that she was still alive
噢,我多希望她还尚在人间
How can someone like that call himself a man
像那样的禽兽,怎配自称为人?
He's not a man
他根本不配为人
'Cause in reality he's far more less than that
事实上,他远比这卑劣,禽兽不如
And we cannot ignore at all whenever we see the signs
每当发现那些迹象,我们绝不能再视若无睹
'Cause any kind of abuse God knows is a crime
因为任何形式的虐待,上苍明鉴,皆是罪孽
How come how long how long how long
何以至此,还要多久,还要多久,还要多久
It's not right it's not right it's so wrong so wrong
这不公平,这太不公平,大错特错,荒谬至极
Do we let it just go on just go on
难道任由这一切继续,恶性循环?
Turn our backs and carry on got me
转身离去,照旧生活,令我心碎
Wake up wake up for it's too late
警醒吧,快些觉醒,莫待悔之晚矣
Right now we can't wait
就在此刻,分秒必争
She won't have a second try
她的生命无法重来
Open up your hearts as well as your eyes
敞开心扉,亦要擦亮双眼
