Eagles 十多年前重出樂壇的名曲,Hell Freezes Over 專輯中的第一首歌,跟專輯中的另一首歌Learn To Be Still 都是我的最愛,歌詞含義值得讓人細味。
我打開電視看到什麼? I turn on the tube and what do I see
一大堆的人在嚷︰“別怪我﹗” A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
他們彎曲的小指頭都指著別人 They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
大多數時間他們都在自怨自艾 Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
這事讓他受害,那事讓他受害 Victim of this, victim of that
你的媽媽太瘦,你的爸爸又太胖 Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat
克服它吧 Get over it
克服它吧 Get over it
所有的抱怨、嚎哭和尖叫都一樣 All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
克服它吧,克服它吧 Get over it, get over it
你說你已經大不如前 You say you haven't been the same since
自從你受到小小的打擊 you had your little crash
如果我給你一點現金你卻有可能感覺好一點 But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
我越想越覺得,莎翁說得對 The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
“把所有的律師幹掉,今天晚上幹掉他們” Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
你不想工作,你想過帝王般的生活You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
但這可惡的世界並不欠你分毫 But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing
克服它吧 Get over it
克服它吧 Get over it
假如你不想玩,那你倒不如離開 If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
克服它吧,克服它吧 Get over it, Get over it
每次我聽你講話 It's like going to confession
就好像去告解一樣 every time I hear you speak
你正在延續你的失敗經歷 You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
有人說那是病態,但我說那是懦弱 Some call it sick, but I call it weak
你每天拖拉著沉重的鎖鏈與鉛球 You drag it around like a ball and chain
你沈湎於罪咎裡,你沈湎於痛苦裡You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
你彷彿在搖旗吶喊,你把它當冠冕一樣的帶著 You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
把你的思想丟到水溝裡,把所有人都往下拖 Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
抱怨現在又責怪過去 Complain about the present and blame it on the past
我想找到你的內在小孩 I'd like to find your inner child
然後狠狠地踢他屁股 and kick its little ass
克服它吧 Get over it
克服它吧 Get over it
所有的謾罵、悲啼和尖叫都一樣 All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
克服它吧,克服它吧 Get over it, get over it
克服它吧 Get over it
克服它吧 Get over it
有一天它將會停下來,那你為何不干脆放棄?It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit
克服它吧,克服它吧Get over it, get over it

學會活得自在 Learn to be still
Eagles樂團的一首老歌,已經有十多年了,還是覺得不可多得的好歌,跟大家分享富含深意的歌詞, 而且是我親自翻譯的呀﹗
又是樂園中的另一天 It's just another day in paradise
你倒在你的床上 As you stumble to your bed
你把一切交給沈默 You'd give anything to silence
腦內的聲音卻響個不停 Those voices ringing in your head
你以為你會找到快樂 You thought you could find happiness
只要翻過那青山的後面 Just over that green hill
你以為你可以滿足 You thought you would be satisfied
但你將永遠不能夠 But you never will
學會活得自在 Learn to be still
我們就恍如失去牧人的羊 We are like sheep without a shepherd
不懂如何自處 We don't know how to be alone
所以我們在這片沙漠當中遊蕩 So we wander 'round this desert
結果皈依了錯誤的神祗 And wind up following the wrong gods home
但是羊群會呼朋引伴 But the flock cries out for another
他們一再回應那呼喚的鈴響 And they keep answering that bell
又一個眼如星光閃爍的救世主 And one more starry-eyed messiah
遭遇殘暴的送別 Meets a violent farewell
學會活得自在 Learn to be still
現在你花園裡的花朵 Now the flowers in your garden
它們並不是那麽的香甜 They don't smell so sweet
也許你早已忘記 Maybe you've forgotten
你所身處的就是天堂 The heaven lying at your feet
在我們發出的訊息中 There are so many contradictions
有太多的矛盾 In all these messages we send
(我們不停追問) (We keep asking)
我如何能夠解脫? How do I get out of here
那裡才能讓我容身? Where do I fit in?
就算這個世界分崩離析 Though the world is torn and shaken
就算你的心片片破碎 Even if your heart is breakin'
還是有待你的覺悟 It's waiting for you to awaken
有一天你將能夠 And someday you will
學會活得自在 Learn to be still
你就繼續跑吧 You just keep on runnin'
繼續跑吧 Keep on runnin'
又是樂園中的另一天 It's just another day in paradise
你倒在你的床上 As you stumble to your bed
你把一切交給沈默 You'd give anything to silence
腦內的聲音卻響個不停 Those voices ringing in your head
你以為你會找到快樂 You thought you could find happiness
只要翻過那青山的後面 Just over that green hill
你以為你可以滿足 You thought you would be satisfied
但你將永遠不能夠 But you never will
