AJR - World's Smallest Violin (Official Video)
My grandpa fought in World War II
我爺爺參加過二次世界大戰
He was such a noble dude
他真是個偉大的傢伙
I can't even finish school
但我甚至連從學校畢業都有困難
Missed my mom, and left too soon
太早離家,已經開始想念我媽了
His dad was a fireman
他爸曾是個消防員
Who fought fires so violent
曾撲滅過熊熊大火
I think I bored my therapist
我想我的心理治療師感到無聊了
While playing him my violin
當我用我的小提琴為他演奏時
(Oh, my God) that's so insane
(我的天)那還真瘋狂
(Oh, my God) that's such a shame
(我的天)那還真可惜
Next to them, my shit don't feel so grand
與他們相比,我的破事根本微不足道
But I can't help myself from feeling bad
但我仍深陷憂鬱無法自拔
I kinda feel like two things can be sad (one, two, three, four)
我想我還有兩件事可以哭夭(一、二、三、四)
The world's smallest violin
世上最小的小提琴
Really needs an audience
也需要一位觀眾
So if I do not find somebody soon (that's right, that's right)
所以如果我不趕快找到那位知音的話(沒錯沒錯)
I'll blow up into smithereens
我會破碎成千片
And spew my tiny symphony
內心的小小交響樂也將為之傾瀉
Just let me play my violin for you, you, you, you
就讓我用我的小提琴為你演奏吧
My grandpa fought in World War II
我爺爺參加過二次世界大戰
And he was such a noble dude
他真的是個偉大的傢伙
Man, I feel like such a fool
老兄,我覺得我一事無成
I got so much left to prove
我還需要不斷證明自己
All my friends have vaping friends
我的朋友們身邊都是狐朋狗友
They're so good at making friеnds
他們還真是很會社交
I'm so scared of caving in
我很怕落入和他們一樣的境地
Is that entertaining yеt?
這很有趣,對吧?
(Oh, my God) that's so insane
(我的天)那還真瘋狂
(Oh, my God) that's such a shame
(我的天)那還真可惜

All up and down a city street

While tryna put my mind at ease
試著找尋讓我放鬆的方法
Like finishing this melody
像是演奏完這段旋律
This feels like a necessity
我想這至關重要
So this could be the death of me
所以這可能是我的遺作
Or maybe just a better me
或者只是新的佳作
Now come in with the timpanis
現在加入定音鼓
And take a shot of Hennessy
再乾一杯軒尼詩
I know I'm not there mentally
我知道我的精神狀況很糟
But you could be the remedy
但也許你能成為我的救贖
So let me play my violin for you
所以讓我用我的小提琴為你演奏吧
備註與其他
"World's smallest violin" 是一種諷刺的表達,用來表示對某人的抱怨、悲傷或困難不感到同情,反而覺得他們過於誇大或自憐。
在這首歌裡則是在自嘲自己的煩惱不值一提。
