In This Life

Madonna 麦当娜

选自《Erotica》——麦姐九零年代传奇经典专辑

麦姐怀念逝去的友人 对生命的再理解、再认识

Sitting on a park bench
坐在公园长凳上
Thinking about a friend of mine
思念着一位友人
He was only 23
他年仅二十三岁
Gone before he had his time
花样年华，骤然夭折
It came without a warning
一切来得毫无征兆
Didn't want his friends to see him cry
不愿朋友们看见他的泪水
He knew the day was dawning
他知道天已破晓
And I didn't have a chance to say goodbye
我甚至来不及与他道别
Chorus:

In this life I loved you most of all
最重要的是，此生我最爱你
What for
但那又有何用？
'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myself
因为你已逝去，我只好扪心自问
What for
但那又有何用？
What for
但那又有何用？
Driving down the boulevard（林荫大道）
驶过林荫大道
Thinking about a man I knew
思念着一位故人
He was like a father to me
他就像我的父亲
Nothing in the world that he wouldn't do
无所不能
Taught me to respect myself
教会我自尊自爱
Said that we're all made of flesh and blood
他说，我们都是相同的血肉之躯
Why should he be treated differently
为何我们会有不同的际遇
Shouldn't matter who you choose to love
你爱的是谁，并不重要
(chorus)

In this life I loved you most of all
最重要的是，此生我最爱你
What for
但那又有何用？
'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myself
因为你已逝去，我只好扪心自问
What for
但那又有何用？
Intermediate:

People pass by and I wonder who's next
人们匆匆而去，不知谁会步入你的后尘
Who determines' who knows best
这一切应该由谁决定，谁才最清楚呢
Is there a lesson I'm supposed to learn in this case
生死之间，是否有我需要了解的体验
Ignorance is not bliss 无知不是幸福
无知无法带来幸福
(chorus)

In this life I loved you most of all
最重要的是，此生我最爱你
What for
但那又有何用？
'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myself
因为你已逝去，我只好扪心自问
What for
但那又有何用？

Have you ever watched your best friend die
你可曾看着你的挚友逝去
Have you ever watched a grown man cry
你可曾望着成熟男人哭泣
Some say that life isn't fair
有人说，人生并不公平
I say that people just don't care
我说，人们并不在乎生死
They'd rather turn the other way
他们宁愿背过身去
And wait for this thing to go away
等待时间将一切带走
Why do we have to pretend
为何我们要伪装自己
Some day I pray it will end
有时我祈祷痛苦终有尽头
I hope it's in this life
我希望此生
I hope it's in this life time
我希望此生，你不曾逝去
(repeat)
