Gangsta's Paradise 注释
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (1)
I take a look at my life
And realize there's nothing left
'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long (2)
That even my momma thinks that my mind has gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it (3)
Me be treated like a punk,you know that's unheard of (4)
You betta watch how ya talking
And where ya walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk (5)
I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
As they croak,I see myself in the pistol smoke (6)
Fool,I'm the kinda g that little homie's wanna be like (7)
On my knees in the night
Saying prayers in the street light
1-Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise (2)
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise (2)
Look at the situation,they got me facing
I can't live a normal life,I was raised by the state
So I gotta be down with the 'hood team (
Too much television watching,got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye (9)
I'm a loc'd out gangsta,set tripping banger (10)
And my homies are down so don't arouse my anger
Fool,death ain't nothing but a heart beat away
I'm living life do or die,what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now ,will I ever live to see twenty-four (11)
The way things is going I don't know.
2-Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
(rpt 1)
Power in the money,money in the power
Minute after minute,hour after hour
Everybody's running,but half of them ain't looking
It's going on in the kitchen
But I don't know what's cooking.
They say I gotta learn
But nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it,how can they reach me?
I guess they can't
I guess they won't,I guess they front (12)
That's why I got my hand on the pump,foo!(13)
(rpt 1,2,2)
(1) walk through the valley of the shadow of death
语出旧约圣经之赞美诗,原文为：Even though I walk through the valley
of shadow of death,I fear no evil,for thou art with me.(Psalm 23)
这句话在许多电影皆曾出现过
(2) 'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long
"blast"指的是吸毒,这两句在说,Coolio吸毒晃荡多年,他妈早就觉得他没
救了
(3) I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
这句话表示Coolio还有点羞耻心与自觉,知道这一切荒唐都不该怪别人
(4) Me be treated like a punk,you know that's unheard of
这里的"punk"在黑人的俚语解作懦夫,特别指自己没勇气弃绝这种生活方式
(5) you and your homies might be lined in chalk
"homies"指的是帮派的兄弟们,这几句话在说,大家随时都要小心自己的言
行,否则就要横死街头,"line in chalk" 是指人遭杀害后,警察到达现场
在尸体周围地上用粉笔圈画,以保持现场研判案情
(6) As they croak,I see myself in the pistol smoke
"croak"是黑人俚语中挂点的意思,这两句在强调他自小在枪林弹雨中苟活
(7) I'm the kinda g that little homie's wanna be like
"g"就是"gangsta",帮派流氓,像他们这样的流氓竟然也是小孩们的崇拜对
象,低下阶层的黑人命运可见一斑.另,Public Enemy写过另一首歌 "Meet
the G that Killed Me",这里的"G"是指同性恋,这首充满歧视的歌曲让他
们备受同性恋团体的抨击
( gotta be down with the 'hood team
这是指他难以自帮派脱身,只能随之堕落
(9) Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
"10"是指黑帮中常用的Mack 10自动手枪,这里描写他手持凶器,目露凶光的
德性
(10) I'm a loc'd out gangsta,set tripping banger
这是说他们这些亡命之徒,四处晃荡但绝非好惹
(11) I'm twenty-three now ,will I ever live to see twenty-four
一般混帮派的黑人,能活过18岁已经是运气很好的,他们过的是没有明天的
日子,而他们也看得很开,毕竟「死」,也许不过就是下一个心跳之后的事
(death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away)
(12) I guess they front
"front"是指冷漠,一般人对他们的死活根本充耳不闻
(13) I got my hand on the pump,foo!
"pump"是指枪的板机,这句是说：社会对我们如此冷漠,我们只好继续过这
样打杀的帮派生活,笨蛋!"foo"作"fool"解.
Coolio写的歌词算是Hip-Hop中相当易理解的,比起Public Enemy、Wu Tang
Clan的GZA等写的深奥黑话,与为了合韵脚而创立的大量语汇、转注、假借等
歌词比起,这只能算是初级班等级,例如GZA会为了歌词的对仗与流畅,把
钞票用"president paper"来替换,纸上有总统,岂不就是钞票,妙哉
