歌词与翻译

[中文]

谢谢您为我们开场。

不客气。那是一首Dido的歌。

是的，而且我以前唱过那首歌

为快乐嬉皮基金会

在我做“后院音乐会”的时候。

那是我表演过的一首歌。

因为我喜欢没有自由就没有爱的说法。

每当发生这些悲剧事件时，我都会想到这一点。

如果因为害怕暴力而不敢去看我们最喜欢的艺术家表演，音乐又有什么意义呢？

或者害怕失去我们爱的人

去看一场音乐会，或者去看一场电影？

我认为现在，

我们应该是一个自由的国度，

但如果我们一直生活在恐惧中，就无法拥有自由。

所以我觉得永远不要向霸凌者低头。

我父母一直这样说。

并且要为正义而站出来。

我认为要不断地分享希望，

而不是助长更多的恐惧，你知道吗？

是的，我同意。

（欢呼和掌声）

说得好。谢谢你。

嗯，我这个周末听了你的专辑。

我在Spotify上播放的。

我非常喜欢。

谢谢你。太棒了。

你上次来这里的时候，

我们谈到了你录音时——

我想说青蛙或者鸟。

是的，这种情况经常发生。

我当时想，“哦，这很酷，

但你永远不会用这些东西。”

结果我用了。它在第一首曲子里。

是的，第一首曲子。是的。

开场是一条流经我家的河流。

还有一只青蛙，杀天使宝贝。

现在它还有很多小青蛙，

所以这就像一个整个家庭的交响乐，

一个我见证并录制的家庭的进化，

而且我没有得到任何授权或使用许可。

所以，我可能是第一个会被青蛙起诉的人。

是的。是的。我知道它的律师。

你完蛋了。是的。他有胜诉的理由。

是的。宝贝先生有胜诉的理由。

是的，没错。

杀天使宝贝。是的，没错。

那个曲子放出来的时候，我就觉得——

我正在听着如此美妙的声音，

然后歌曲开始播放，节奏响起。

只有你。太完美了。

而且很流行。而且很有趣。

而且制作精良。

谢谢。写得也很好。

“年轻的现在”。你能解释一下它的意思吗？

比如，为什么是“年轻的现在”？你为什么现在感觉更年轻了？

嗯，我写这首歌是因为歌词开头是，

“即使这并不是我的本性，

我并不害怕我曾经的样子。”

我认为在每个人的生活中，

或者至少在我自己的生活中，有很多时候，

你会开始逃避你曾经的样子，因为你会想，

“我不想再那样了。我不再那样了。”

但现在随着我年龄的增长，

我变得越来越年轻，

因为我开始更多地拥抱我曾经的样子，

而不是试图逃避它。

我写这首歌是因为当时我穿着驯鹿的服装，

就像圣诞节的时候——

我戴着闪烁的耳环和鹿角。

我完全就是一只驯鹿。

我妈妈说，“你什么时候又变回8岁了？”

我说，“嗯，我现在感觉更年轻了。

我感觉自己就像一个8岁的孩子。

我觉得我没有什么需要证明的。

而且我不需要成为任何别人。

而且[哔哔声]圣诞节，妈妈！

我穿着驯鹿的服装！这不是很奇怪！”

在那之前，这就像一张贺卡。

然后有点失控了。

那不是四月。那是圣诞节。

是的。是的。

（笑声）

你有一个很棒的家庭。

我见过你家庭的每个成员。

在不同的场合，你时不时地带他们来。

他们明天会来参加节目。

是的，是的。我们将会玩一个有趣的游戏。

是的，我妈妈——我正在尝试让她

开始成为我的手鼓手。

她的节奏感非常好。

所以我正在尝试让我的整个家庭一起巡演

并且一直在一起，

因为和他们一起创作音乐太棒了。

你会像奥斯蒙德家族一样吗？完全正确。

但我的妈妈，就像——《布雷迪一家》？

她离开去看了诺亚的演出，

但她真的听不准音。

她肯定会看到这个，

但她真的唱不准音。

所以我们基本上要让妈妈打手鼓。

每个人都能掌握手鼓。

我妈妈可以和大家一起唱歌，

但她真的唱不准音。

我记得耳机刚发明的时候。

我就是这么老。那是一件大事。

你可以在家里买耳机，

我们让她唱一首歌。

太糟糕了。

但她没有意识到我们听不到音乐。

对。

所以只有她戴着耳机。

我想说那是——

是丽塔·库利奇唱的

“你的爱在提升我”吗？

是的。然后她——

她的耳机就像——

♫ 嘟-嘟-嘟，嘟-嘟-嘟，嘟-嘟-嘟，嘟-嘟 ♫

她就像——而且在我们的房子里完全安静。

我们应该去那种派对。

你知道他们有那种派对——

你想和我一起去派对吗？

你害怕吗？

（欢呼和掌声）

不。任何人吗？任何人吗？

我只是在说我正在和妈妈一起玩。

我和妈妈一起玩，我们戴着耳机。

他们有那种派对，你只需要听耳机，

所以就像一个无声的舞蹈派对。

但有一次，我犯了错误，把耳机摘了下来。

那真的是一个最糟糕的决定。

我做过很多糟糕的决定。但那个真的太糟糕了。

永远不要摘下耳机。

你会质疑所有让你走到那一步的决定。

它们是从天花板上挂下来的，对吧？

是的，然后你就可以尽情摇摆，

而且你认为你是在最好的俱乐部，最好的DJ那里，

但实际上你只是在沉默中。

不。这对我来说太奇怪了。

-Thank you for doing that opening for us.

I appreciate it. That was a Dido song.

-Yes, and I´ve sang that song before

for the Happy Hippie Foundation

when I did the "Backyard Sessions."

That was a song that I performed.

Because I love that there is no love without freedom.

And I think about that when these tragic events happen.

What is music if we can´t go see our favorite artists perform

because we´re scared of violence

or we´re scared of losing someone that we love

to go to a concert or to go see a film?

And I think that right now,

you know, we´re supposed to be the land of the free,

but we can´t have freedom if we´re constantly living in fear.

So I think never bow down to bullies.

That´s what my parents always said.

And to stand up for what´s right.

And I think just constantly share hope

instead of encouraging any more fear, you know?

-Yeah, I agree.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Well said. Thank you.

Uh, I listened to the album this weekend.

I had it streaming on Spotify.

And I love it so much.

-Thank you so much. -It´s so good.

Last time you were here,

we talked about how you were recording --

I want to say frogs or birds.

-Yes, that happens a lot.

-And I was like, "Oh, that´s cool,

but you´ll never use any of that."

-And I did. -It´s in the first track.

-Yes, the first track. -Yeah.

The opening is a river that runs through my house.

And there´s a frog, Killer Angel Baby.

And he´s now had other little mini-frogs,

so that´s like a whole symphony of an entire family,

an evolution of a family that I got to witness and record

without getting any sign-off or permission to use.

So I might be the first person ever to be sued by a frog.

-Yeah, that is true. Yes. I know his attorney.

And you´re in for it. Yeah. He has a case.

-Yeah. -Mr. Baby has a case.

-Yes, exactly.

-Killer Angel Baby. Yeah. Exactly.

That came on, and I go --

And I was listening to just this beautiful sound,

and then the song comes on, and it kicks in.

And it´s just you. And it´s perfect.

And it´s poppy. And it´s fun.

And it´s, ah, well-produced.

-Thank you. -Well-written.

"Younger Now." Can you explain what that means?

Like, why "Younger Now"? Why do you feel younger now?

Well, I wrote this song, because one of the first lyrics is,

"Even though it´s not who I am,

I´m not afraid of who I used to be."

And I think there´s so many times, maybe in everyone´s life,

but I know in my life where you start to run

from who you´ve been, ´cause you´re like,

"I just don´t want to be that anymore. I´m not that anymore."

But now as I´m getting older,

I´m getting younger in the way that I embrace

who I used to be a lot more than trying to run from it.

And I wrote this song because I was dressed as a reindeer,

as I would be -- it was Christmas --

and I had on the blinking earrings and the antlers.

I was a full-on reindeer.

And my mom goes, "When did you go back to being an 8-year-old?"

And I said, "Well, I feel younger now.

I kind of feel like a 8-year-old.

I feel like I don´t have anything to prove.

And I don´t feel like I need to be anything but who I am.

And it´s [bleep] Christmas, Mom!

And I´m dressed as a reindeer! It´s not that weird!"

-Up to that point, it was a Hallmark card.

Then it went off the rails a little bit.

It wasn´t, like, April. It was Christmas.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

[ Laughter ]

-You have a great family.

I´ve met every member of your family.

Different occasions, every now and then, you´ll bring them.

They´re going to be on the show tomorrow.

-Yeah, yeah. -We´re gonna have a fun game.

-Yeah, my mom -- I´m trying to get her

to start being my tambourine player.

She´s got a sick rhythm.

So I´m trying to get my whole family to just tour together

and be together all the time

´cause it´s so great, making music with all of them.

-You´ll be like the Osmonds? -Exactly.

-But my mom, like -- -The Brady Bunch?

-She left to actually go see Noah sing,

but she´s, like, tone-deaf.

She´s going to see this, obviously,

but she can´t carry, really, a note.

So we´re putting Mom on tambo basically.

Everybody can handle the tambourine.

-My mom can sing, like, just sing with everybody,

but she can´t, like, really, really sing.

And I remember when headphones first were invented.

This is how old I am. That was a big deal.

Headphones, like, that you can buy, in your house,

and we had her sing something.

And it was awful.

But she didn´t realize that we couldn´t hear the music.

-Right.

-So it was just her with the headset on.

I want to say it was --

Was it Rita Coolidge who sang

"Your Love is Lifting Me Higher"?

-Yeah. -And so she --

And her headphones are like --

♫ Buh-bum-bum, buh-bum-bum, buh-bum-bum, bum-bum ♫

And she´s like -- And it´s just completely silent in our house.

-We should go to one of those raves like that.

You know they have raves --

Do you want to go to a rave with me after this?

Are you scared?

[ Cheers and applause ]

-No. -Anybody? Anybody?

-I was just talking about how I´m hanging with my mom.

I hang out with my mom, and we wear headphones.

-They have these raves where all you do is listen to headphones,

so it´s like a silent dance party.

But one time, I made the mistake of taking them off.

And it just felt like the worst decision.

I´ve made a lot of bad ones. But that one was really bad.

Don´t ever take the headphones off.

-You question every decision that got you to that point.

-They hang from the ceiling, right?

-Yeah, and then you just jam,

and you´re thinking you´re at the best club, best DJ ever,

but really you´re just in silence.

-No. That´s too weird for me.

  ➔ 这句话显示了一种因果关系。说话者对“悲剧事件”做出反应，反思自由的理念。“when”将思考过程与这些事件的发生联系起来。
