Eagles "Desperado"

老鷹合唱團EAGLES - Desperado @ Yahoo! Video

Desperado，
我很喜歡這個字。

這也是我相當喜歡的一首歌，
陪伴我無數夜晚，
每次聽都有不同感觸，
真的，
so touched!

尤其年紀漸長，
我總有更深刻的體會。

雖然台灣似乎都將歌名翻譯成"亡命之徒"，
但相信我，
其實歌詞所表達的意境不全然是如此，
他可能是更深刻的孤獨和渴望。

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know that you've got your reasons

These things that are pleasing you will hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the Queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
The Queen of hearts is always your best bet
How it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't get

Desperado
Oh, you ain't getting no younger

Your pain and your hunger
They're driving you home

Freedom, ah, freedom
That's just some people talking
Your prison is walking thrugh this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences open the gate

It may be raining
But there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late

我在youtube看到一位台灣歌手"荒山亮"的版本，
唱得也很深刻，
大家可以聽聽。
