你有过这样的经历吗?在人行道上空洞地、漫无目的地行走,甚至奔跑?并不是无所事事地闲逛、打发时间;而是被爱人突然的伤害,想跑离这痛苦,又发现失去这段爱情更痛苦,于是在离开他,还是回到他身边之间徘徊。这也是Adele创作该曲的背景。
Adele(阿黛勒),生于1988年5月5日,是英国独立歌手。她描述自己的音乐风格为“伤心的灵魂”。她自幼受爵士乐熏陶,如Ella Fitzgerald和Etta Jame都是陪伴她成长的“音乐老师”。她是第一个英国音乐奖影评人评选出来的音乐人。2009年曾获得第51届格莱美年度最佳新人、最佳流行女歌手奖等荣誉。“Chasing Pavements”选自专辑《19》,歌曲中渗透出不符年龄的成熟韵味,你要知道那时她才19岁。喜欢写诗的她,在写歌词的时候亦有渗进其中,尽显才情。

I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over.
If I'm wrong I am right;
Don't need to look no further.
This ain't lust, 
I know this is love,
But if I tell the world,
I'll never say enough,
'Cause it was not said to you.
And that's exactly what I need to do.
If I end up with you,
我已下定了决心,
不想再做无谓的思索。
不管这个决定是对是错;
不想再牵绊于无妄的未来。
这绝非情欲,
我已明白这便是爱,
可要解释给全世界听,
却怎么也解释不清,
因为只有你一人能听得懂。
这也正是我需要做的事情。
如果我最后和你在一起的话,
*Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements,
Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste?
Even if I knew my place,
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements,
Even if it leads nowhere?
*我是该放弃,
还是该继续在人行道上狂追,
哪怕这条路没有出口?
或者那会是一场空?
就算明知目标在那里,
我是不是该止步回头?
我是该放弃,
还是该继续在这人行道上狂追,
哪怕这条路没有出口?
I build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Waiting as my heart drops,
And my back begins to tingle.
Finally could this be it? Or
我是该打起精神,
没头没脑地原地飞奔,
直到我已心灰意冷,
直到我已腰酸背疼。
结局会不会便是如此?或者
