有哪些歌曲旋律很輕鬆,但歌詞內容很悲劇。最好是國外的歌?


怎麼能沒有 dumb ways to die!

萌萌的歌曲,但是其實是多麼悲傷的死法!

MV也是萌萌的,把死亡美化了成了一件很可愛的事情

英文歌詞:

Set fire to your hair

Poke a stick at a grizzly bear

Eat medicines that』s out of date

Use your private parts as piranha bait

Dumb ways to die

So many dumb ways to die

Get your toast out with a fork

Do your own electrical work

Teach yourself how to fly

Eat a two week old unrefrigerated pie

Dumb ways to die

So many dumb ways to die

Invite a psycho killer inside

Scratch a drug dealer』s brand new ride

Take your helmet off in outer space

Use a clothes dryer as a hiding place

Dumb ways to die

So many dumb ways to die

Keep a rattlesnake as a pet

Sell both your kidneys on the Internet

Eat a tube of superglue

「I wonder what』s this red button do?」

Dumb ways to die

So many dumb ways to die

Dress up like a moose during hunting season

Disturb a nest of wasps for no good reason

Stand on the edge of a train station platform

Drive around the boomgates at a level crossing

Run across the tracks between the platforms

They may not rhyme but they』re quite possibly

The dumbest ways to die

Dumbest ways to die

Dumbest ways to die

So many dumb

So many dumb ways to die

中文歌詞:

放火燒你的頭髮

拿根棍子捅灰熊吶

吃上一堆過期葯

用私處去把食人魚來釣

蠢蠢的死法

好多種蠢蠢的死法

用根叉子去拿吐司

電工活兒你自己來

自學飛機腫么開

吃塊兩星期都沒放冰箱的派

蠢蠢的死法

好多種蠢蠢的死法

把殺人狂請進門

在毒販的新車上劃個痕

在外太空摘下你的頭盔

悄悄地躲在乾衣機里

蠢蠢的死法

好多種蠢蠢的死法

養響尾蛇當寵物

把兩個腎都在網上賣掉

吃上一管萬能膠

(白)不知道這個紅色按鈕是什麼用哦?

蠢蠢的死法

好多種蠢蠢的死法

在狩獵季節扮成一頭駝鹿

閑著沒事把一窩馬蜂惹怒

站在火車站的 站台邊緣

開車繞過鐵軌前的禁行欄杆

衝過火車站台之間的鐵軌

它們雖然不押韻卻很可能是……最蠢的死法

好多種蠢蠢的 好多種蠢蠢的死法

(旁白)在火車周圍請注意安全,墨爾本Metro提醒您。 &<收起

怎麼能沒有我大EVA!

《來吧,甜蜜的死亡》(《Komm, sü?er Tod》)——The End of Evangelion

I know

I know I"ve let you down

I"ve been a fool to myself

I thought that I could live for no one else

But now

Through all the hurt and pain

It"s time for me to respect

The ones you love mean more than anything

So with sadness in my heart

Feel the best thing I could do

Is end it all and leave forever

What"s done is done it feel so bad

What once happy now is sad

I"ll never love again

My world is ending

I wish that I could turn back time

Because now the guilt is all mine

can"t live without the trust from those you love

I know we can"t forget the past

You can"t forget love and pride

Because of that

it"s killing me inside

it all returns to nothing

it all comes

tumbling down,tumbling down,tumbling down

it all returns to nothing

i just keep

letting me down,letting me down,letting me down

In my heart of hearts

I know that I could never love again

I"ve lost everything

Everything

everything that matters to me matters in the world

我知道,我知道我令你失望

我是個自以為是的傻瓜

我以為自己可以不為任何人而活

但現在,我滿身傷痛

應是我正視之時

——你所愛的勝過一切

懷著心頭悲切

我覺得我能做的最好的事

便是終結所有,一去不返

木已成舟,萬念俱灰

昔日的快樂只剩下今日的悲涼

我不會再愛,我的世界正在毀滅

我渴望時間倒轉

一切罪孽皆因我而生

你所愛的一切若無法置信於我

便無能生存

我知道我們無法忘記過去

你也無能忘記愛和驕傲

正因如此,我內心已死去

一切都回歸虛無

一切都在變得破碎,破碎,破碎

一切都化為烏有

就這樣讓我倒下(失望),倒下(失望),倒下(失望)

在我內心深處

我知道我再不會去愛

我已失去一切,一切

那曾經對我,對世界重要的一切


The end of the world-SKEETER DAVIS.

《後會無期》英文版。

第一次聽鄧紫棋唱的中文版,就覺得惋惜。

這樣的歌,要是拿給王菲、金海心等嗓音清澈、有靈氣、有閱歷的歌手唱該多好,鄧雖然唱功好也不乏情感,但畢竟嗓音屬歐美渾厚型,年齡也擺在哪裡,遠未能詮釋出這首歌的「哀而不傷」。

等後來聽到英文原版,才終於覺得圓滿了。

首先這位女歌手的聲音到位了。沒有稚氣,也沒有強說愁式的苦大仇深。乾淨中帶少許沙啞,像一台有個別鍵按不出聲的舊鋼琴,能把聽膩了的旋律奏出新意來。

她吟唱的方式是很平淡的,好像在講別人的故事,也好像在說今天天氣不錯挺風和日麗的。但你細細品味那歌詞的內容,又會感到一種深不見底的哀傷。但那又怎樣呢,就算對你來說這個世界就像終結了一樣,太陽還是照在那裡,鳥兒還是在唱歌,星星依然在閃耀,整個宇宙還是會無休止地運行下去。

聽這首歌的時候,你會覺得自己就像坐在一輛空無一人的公車裡,不知道要去什麼地方,車窗外是繽紛喧鬧的花花世界,行色匆匆的人們在趕赴各自的喜樂哀傷,但車窗里的你和這一切都沒有關係。你和你的情緒似乎已經被排除在了這個世界之外。

附歌詞:

Why does the sun go on shining? / 太陽為何依然照耀

Why does the sea rush to shore? / 海浪為何拍打著岩岸

Don"t they know it"s the end of the world? / 難道它們不知道這是世界末日嗎

"Cause you don"t love me anymore / 因為你不再愛我了

Why do the birds go on singing? / 鳥兒為何依然歌唱

Why do the stars glow above? / 星星為何在天上閃耀

Don"t they know it"s the end of the world? / 難道它們不知道這是世界末日嗎

It ended when I lost your love / 當我失去了你的愛

I wake up in the morning / 當我清晨醒來

And I wonder why everything"s the same as it was / 納悶著為何一切如常

I can"t understand, no I can"t understand / 我無法理解,我真的無法理解

How life goes on the way it does / 生命怎會像往常一樣運行

Why does my heart go on beating? / 我的心為何仍在跳動

Why do these eyes of mine cry? / 我的雙眼為何在流淚

Don"t they know it"s the end of the world? / 難道它們不知道這是世界末日

It ended when you said goodbye /結束在你說再見的時候

Why does my heart go on beating? / 我的心為何仍在跳動

Why do these eyes of mine cry? / 我的雙眼為何在流淚

Don"t they know it"s the end of the world? / 難道它們不知道這是世界末日嗎

It ended when you said goodbye / 結束在你說再見的時候


《Nine Point Eight》,音樂遊戲 Deemo 中的一首歌,原作為 mili。試聽:【MV】MILI
-Nine Point Eight 歌詞版

曲調十分輕快,聽起來彷彿一個活潑的小女孩在跳舞。實際上歌詞描述的是女孩的愛人離世了,火葬了。女孩很傷心,隨著花兒從高處躍下陪葬了。

我一開始還很奇怪為什麼圖片是顛倒的,直到看到歌詞……什麼跳入地獄,什麼腐爛的頭骨……意識到旋律和歌詞反差真的挺大。標題9.8原來指的是跳樓(或跳崖)的重力加速度。

不負責聯想一下,遊戲中遊戲次數到2的時候會解鎖這首歌,觸發女孩從窗戶掉下來的劇情,也許有著微妙的關係呢。第一次翻譯歌詞,有些生硬,歡迎提建議。

Calla lily, carnation, daisy
Silently chase away your worries
Chrysanthemum, kalanchoe
Become your shield whenever you fall asleep
馬蹄蓮,康乃馨,稚菊
靜靜的驅走你的憂傷
菊花,伽藍
保護著你進入夢鄉

I cried out
Please don』t leave me behind, leave me behind
So you held me tight
And said I will be just fine, I will be just fine, I will be just fine
我嚎啕大哭
『請不要丟下我,不要丟下我!』
於是你輕輕的抱著我
說,『我會沒事的,我會好的。』

Petals dance for our valediction
And synchronize to your frozen pulsation
Take me to where your soul may live in peace
Final destination
Touch of your skin sympathetically brushed against
The shoulders you used to embrace
Sparkling ashes drift along your flames
And softly merge into the sky
花瓣為我們的告別起舞
與你心跳凍結的頻率同步
帶我去讓你靈魂安息的地方吧
最後的目的地
再次同情的輕撫你的皮膚
和你擁抱過的肩膀
閃爍的灰燼在燃燒著的你身上飄舞
溫柔的匯合到天空

Look now
I』m on the top of your world, top of your world
My darling
Here I come, I yell
And take a leap to Hell
看哪
我就站在你世界的頂端
『親愛的
我來了!』,我喊著
然後一躍跳向地獄

Swirling wind sings for our reunion
And nine point eight is my acceleration
Take me to where our souls may live in peace
Our brand new commencement
Touch of your lips compassionately pressed against
The skull that you used to cherish
Delicate flesh decomposes off my rotten bones
And softly merge into the sky
旋轉的風歌唱著我們的團聚
9.8是我的加速度
帶我去讓你靈魂安息的地方吧
去我們全新的開始
那個你曾經珍愛的頭顱
和精緻的肉體 從我腐爛的骨頭上剝落
溫柔的匯合到天空


suicide is painless


必須是Walk Away——Dia Frampton哇,樓上好多人都提到了,旋律朗朗上口,清新脫俗,聽著人也會搖頭晃腦,絕對是一首歡快的曲子,我查到歌手的FB談到這首歌的創作背景 :

I wrote this song about a girl who was "given" to her father"s friends for entertainment at the ripe age of eight. Yes, true story. However, for the sake of her discretion, I won"t say any more. It made me very upset to hear the story, but even more upset to hear the ending. She never got any revenge, so I wanted to give it to her. In this song, she"s going back to get "em!

大概說的就是一個只有八歲的小女孩,被父親送給那些狗友任其強姦娛樂。故事的結局是小女孩並沒有做出任何報復。作者認為很不值,就寫這首歌,歌曲里,小女孩回來報復那些混蛋。

實在是和原曲調嚴重不符合啊


終於可以祭出這首了,聽完心態平和

本來嘛 死多大點事兒

克林特·伊斯特伍德的老片『凱利的英雄』插曲『Burning Bridge』。

插曲出現的場景是偷跑出來干私活的美軍坦克大殺四方,好不快活,但是歌詞和曲調/場景乃至最後的結局都完全不搭。

"Burning Bridges" (Kelly"s Heroes)

Friends all tried to warn me

But I held my head up high

All the time they warned me

But I only passed them by

They all tried to tell me

But I guess I didn"t care

I turned my back and

Left them standing there

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forevermore

Joey tried to help me find a job

A while ago

When I finally got it I didn"t want to go

The party Mary gave for me

When I just walked away

Now there"s nothing left for me to say

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forevermore

Years have passed and I keep thinking

What a fool I"ve been

I look back into the past and

Think of way back then

I know that I lost everything I thought that I could win

I guess I should have listened to my friends

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forevermore

Burning bridges lost forevermore ………….


《Happy Ending》Mika

【MV】Mika
-Happy Ending 中英字幕版

尤其是MV,簡直就是在展現一個奇幻的童話仙境。也許失去的愛情也就如童話一般只適合在腦海里幻想著回憶。

一段感情結束的緣由,不過也就因為差在那一點點。

This is the way you left me, 你就這樣離開了我
I"m not pretending, 我坦然面對
No hope, no love, no glory, 沒有希望沒有愛沒有感恩
No happy ending 也沒有完美結局
This is the way that we love, 這就是我們相愛的方式
Like it"s forever, 虛偽的永遠之後
Then live the rest of our life 繼續著生活
But not together. 相互背離

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life 清晨醒來,蹣跚過活
Can"t get no love without sacrifice 沒有犧牲就沒有愛
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well 無論發生什麼,我想我只希望你過 得幸福
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell 恍若天堂,又彷彿地獄

This is the hardest story that I"ve ever told 這是個苦澀的故事
No hope, or love, or glory 沒有希望沒有愛沒有感恩
Happy endings gone forever more 永遠逝去的愛
I feel as if I feel as if I"m wastin" 我感覺到我的蹉跎
And I"m wastin" everyday 蹉跎歲月

2 o"clock in the morning, something"s on my mind 凌晨兩點,驟然驚醒
Can"t get no rest; keep walkin" around 毫無睡意,坐立不安
If I pretend that nothin" ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep 倘若能欺騙自己一切照舊,我才能入睡
I can think that we just carried on 我會想像我們仍然在一起

A Little bit of love, 只需一點點愛
little bit of love 一點點愛
Little bit of love, little bit of love…… 一點點愛,一點點愛而已…
I feel as if I feel as if I"m wastin" 我感覺到我的蹉跎,蹉跎著……
And I"m wastin" everyday 蹉跎歲月


沒人說the one that got away?

又想到一首,Dia Frampton《Walk Away》。

一直覺得這首歌很輕快,很陽光,被放在我的「陽光小清新」歌單里!跑步的時候當成跑步音樂來的!找到的版本沒歌詞,太好了,這樣你們可以先聽聽旋律是多麼陽光可人:

視頻封面Dia Frampton-Walk Away視頻

直到最近我看了歌詞,又看了簡介和網友評論,頓時震驚了!

這特么是講一個被性侵的小女孩的悲慘故事的!!!

介紹如下:

這首歌是作者根據真實故事寫的。
一個只有八歲的小女孩,被父親送給那些狗友任其強姦娛樂。
故事的結局是小女孩並沒有做出任何報復。
作者認為很不值,就寫這首歌,歌曲里,小女孩回來報復那些混蛋。

歌詞如下:

Looking back on younger days, the time has passed,
回顧年少時候的那段時光,一切都已過去

And nothing stays the same. Hey hey hey!
一切都已改變。嘿 嘿 嘿

She was such a pretty girl, with glowing eyes and yellow curls. Hey hey hey!
她是如此美的小女孩,她有著閃閃發亮的眼睛和一頭金黃色的捲髮。

Stars are in a summer night,
在那星空下的夏夜

She"s wishing that they"d fall down through the atmosphere, for a souvenir.
她希望那些人能夠下地獄,以此來祭奠(她所受的傷害)

She"s waiting for her Superman, her Never land,
她等待她的超人能夠來臨,帶她去永無之鄉

Cause she can show the way. Hey hey hey!
她知道該如何去那裡。嘿 嘿 嘿

Where"s her missing piece her mind"s been chasing, chasing?
那已迷失的,她內心一直所追尋的地方在哪裡

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade,
一粒已瞄準的子彈,一顆定時炸彈(足以搞定)

You better run away, run away, run away
你們無處可逃 無處可逃 無處可逃

Either way you"re screwed, there"s nothing you can do,
你們所有的掙扎都是徒勞

You better run away, run away, run away.
你們無處可逃 無處可逃 無處可逃

She"s tellin" tales through telephone
她透過電話告訴你們一切

That make you cry, chill to the bone. Hey hey hey!
這使你們害怕到哭泣,那恐懼滲入骨髓

It"s lock and key, electrified,
一切都在掌控之中

Hide and seek from dirty eyes. Hey hey hey!
你們那那骯髒的眼睛裡還想躲藏些什麼

Driving in the rain to somewhere far,
冒著大雨想開車離去,遠離這裡

But they"ve got tattoos stamped upon their arms, of her name in hearts
但他們卻不知自己的雙手卻早已滿是罪證,對她的名字刻骨銘心

She doesn"t understand that love is what you give, not given up.
她無法理解愛是被給予而不是被放棄

Hey hey hey!
嘿 嘿 嘿

Yeah you better not sleep, because she"s waiting, waiting.
你最好不要就這麼睡去,她像等待獵人等待獵物般在等待著你
She knows all about you; you"re in her aim.
她知道你們的一切 你們是她的目標

A bullet with your name, a ticking time grenade,

我其實很敬佩作者寫這首歌的用心,但是旋律真的非常輕鬆活潑俏皮可愛好嗎!!!

跟歌詞大相徑庭啊!

叫我以後怎麼用這首歌跑步……

——————————————被震驚的分割線————————————————

看了一圈答案,居然沒有人回答《Hotel california 加州旅館》,難道只有我一個人認為它聽起來旋律很清新輕快,實際上歌詞和意境卻充滿悲傷么!

話說我多年前第一次聽到的時候覺得很清新快樂一首歌啊,嗯,肯定是講一群年輕男女很開心地駕車出去旅行,一路上歡聲笑語,看天色晚了就在加州旅館住宿,在旅館的小花園一起高興地彈吉他唱歌和聊天,中間還有男生跟喜歡的女生訴衷腸!(是的,答主腦洞就是這麼大,但那個旋律的輕快感很容易聯想到這些啊)

結果幾年以後我才知道歌詞的真正含義,以及其代表的意義,頓時覺得世界觀崩潰……

這是我最喜歡的一個現場版本

————————————————————————————

簡直就不只悲劇,是絕望,是頹靡,是身處死亡之地的感覺。

據說是作者嗑藥high了的時候寫的,看歌詞確實像……

總之知道歌詞的真正意思後再也無法直視這首歌了……


居然沒人說《Like a Rolling Stone》.這首在滾石百大金曲高居榜首的歌,是名符其實的旋律輕鬆歌詞內容悲劇 。講述的是一個千金大小姐淪落為街頭流浪女的故事。光看最後幾句歌詞便知一二了。

How does it feel

這是什麼感覺?

How does it feel

這是什麼感覺?

To be on your own

獨自一人無依無靠

With no direction home

找不到回家的方向

Like a complete unknown

完全沒有人知道你

Like a rolling stone

像塊兒滾動的石頭一樣

滾石這個名字就是由這首歌創造的,歌曲開頭歡快的旋律讓我好幾次都聽不下去,有點像校園小調,也不明白為什麼這首歌會地位會如此之高。

當我漸漸進入社會,也經過了失業,失戀等一系列無能為力的事情之後,我開始明白了:那些看似逗比的人們其實比誰都了解世間的苦難,而只有涉世未深的青少年才會為賦新詞強說愁。或許,迪倫想告訴我們的是:就算成了一條流浪漢,獲得快樂的權利也依舊沒有被剝奪。

《Like a Rolling Stone》歌詞:

Once upon a time you dressed so fine

從前從前,你衣著光鮮,

You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn』t you?

志得意滿丟給乞丐一毛錢,對不?

People』d call, say, "Beware doll, you』re bound to fall"

人們給你電話說,「當心點,小寶貝,總有一天你會跌跤」

You thought they were all kiddin』 you

你覺得他們都是在和你開玩笑

You used to laugh about

你過去總是在嘲笑

Everybody that was hangin』 out

那些游來盪去的人

Now you don』t talk so loud

現在你說話不再大聲

Now you don』t seem so proud

現在你的表情不再驕傲

About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

為了下一頓飯,你要拐騙、乞討!

You』ve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely

And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street

Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone


《叛逆的魯魯修》R2最後一集,魯魯修被渣雀刺中時響起的音樂--continue story,真的很煽情有木有!現在回想起來,鼻子還有點酸。


New Order - 1963

New Order的旋律一向是很輕鬆的,但是這首歌的歌詞... 讓人有些毛骨悚然:

It was January, 1963

When Johnny came home with a gift for me

He said I bought it for you because I love you

And I bought it for you because it"s your birthday, too

He was so very nice, he was so very kind

To think of me at this point in time

I used to think of him, he used think of me

He told me to close my eyes

My gift would be a great surprise

I saw tears were in his eyes

He never meant to hurt me

Oh, God, Johnny, don"t point that gun at me

There"s so many ways our lives have changed

But please, I beg, don"t do this to me

Johnny, don"t point that gun at me

Can I save my life at any price?

For God"s sake won"t you listen to me?

And though he was ashamed that he had took a life

Johnny came home with another wife

And he often remembered how it used to be

Before that special occasion, 1963

There was too many ways that you could kill someone

Like in a love affair, when the love is gone

He told me to close my eyes

My gift would be a great surprise

I saw hatred in his eyes

He never meant to hurt me

Oh, God, Johnny, don"t point that gun at me

There"s so many ways our lives have changed

But please, I beg, don"t do this to me

Johnny, you keep on using me

Can I change my life for any price?

Oh, Johnny, won"t you listen to me?

He told me to close my eyes

My gift would be a great surprise

I saw hatred in his eyes

But he never meant to hurt me

Oh, God, Johnny, don"t point that gun at me

There"s so many ways our lives have changed

But please, I beg, don"t do this to me

Johnny, you keep on using me

Can I change my life for any price?

Oh, Johnny, won"t you listen to me?

I just want you to be mine,

I don"t want this world to shine

I don"t want this bridge to burn

Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?

I just want to feel for you

I will always feel for you...

I will always feel for you...

I will always feel for you...

I will always feel for you...

有人說歌詞里的Johnny指的是JFK,不過那就是另一個故事了...


都比較老的歌了:

Lemon Tree 唱的內容是寂寞空虛冷;

Rythm of the Falling Rain 很久以前綠箭口香糖的廣告歌,節奏很歡,歌詞卻是關於女孩離開,男孩失戀後的光景;

Lucky Twice 一開始也以為很開森,直到突然聽清歌詞…… Living for today but you just can』t find tomorrow; talking about joy, but it never stops the sorrow.


The Beatles - Maxwell"s Silver Hammer

附中二值 max 的歌詞:

Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical

Science in the home

Late nights all alone with a test-tube ohh oh oh oh

Maxwell Edison majoring in medicinem

Calls her on the phone

Can I take you out to the pictures, Joan?

But as she"s getting ready to go

A knock comes on the door

Bang, bang, Maxwell"s silver hammer

Came down upon her head

Bang, bang, Maxwell"s silver hammer

Made sure that she was dead

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again

Teacher gets annoyed

Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away

So he waits behind

Writing 50 times "I must not be so" oh oh oh

But when she turns her back on the boy

He creeps up from behind

Bang, bang, Maxwell"s silver hammer

Came down upon her head

Do do do do do

Bang, bang, Maxwell"s silver hammer

Made sure that she was dead

P.C. Thirty-One said "We caught a dirty one"

Maxwell stands alone

Painting testimonial pictures ohh oh oh oh

Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery

Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)

The judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh

But as the words are leaving his lips

A noise comes from behind

Bang, bang, Maxwell"s silver hammer

Came down upon his head

Do do do do do

Bang, Bang, Maxwell"s silver hammer

Made sure that he was dead

Wow wow wow oh!

Do do do do do
