英文歌词
WHEN I’M GONE by Eminem
[Intro]
Yeah
It’s my life
In my own words I guess
[Verse 1]
Have you ever loved someone so much you’d give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally1 give an arm for?
When they know they are your heart
And you know you are their armour
And you will destroy anyone who will try to harm her
But what happens when karma turns right around and bites you
And everything you stand for turns on you to spite2 you
What happens when you become the main source of her pain
“Daddy look what I made?”
“Dad’s gotta go catch a plane”
“Daddy where’s mummy? I can’t find mummy, where is she?”
“I don’t know, go play, Hailie baby your daddy’s busy.”
“Daddy’s writin’ this song, this song ain’t gon’ write itself”
“I’ll give you one underdog, then you gotta swing by yourself”
Then to write a rhyme in a song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother who’s a spittin’ image of her
That’s Slim Shady3, yeah baby Slim Shady’s crazy
Shady made me, but tonight, Shady’s rockaby baby
[Chorus] [x2]
And when I’m gone, just carry on don’t mourn,
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I’m lookin’ down on you smiling
And I didn’t feel a thing so baby don’t feel no pain, just smile back
[Verse 2]
I keep havin’ this dream – I’m pushin’ Hailie on the swings
she keeps screamin’
She don’t want me to sing,
“You’re makin mummy cry, why, why’s mummy crying?”
“Baby, Daddy ain’t leavin’ no more”
“Daddy you’re lying,
You always say that, you always say this is the last time,
but you ain’t leavin’ no more, Daddy you’re mine!”
She’s piling boxes in front of the door tryin’ to block it,
“Daddy please daddy don’t leave daddy --no, stop it!”
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket, it’s got a picture,
“This’ll keep you safe daddy, take it with you”
I look up, it’s just me standin in the mirror,
these fuckin' walls must be talkin coz man I can hear ‘em
They sayin you got one more chance to do right, and it’s tonight,
Now go out there and show ‘em that you love ‘em ‘fore it’s too late
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
it turns to a stage, they’re gone
And the spotlight4 is on and I’m singin...
[Chorus] [x2]
And when I’m gone, just carry on don’t mourn,
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I’m lookin’ down on you smiling
And I didn’t feel a thing so baby don’t feel no pain, just smile back
[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand people, all jumpin’ out their seat
The curtain closes, they’re throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow, “and thank you all for comin’ out”
They’re screamin so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don’t believe what I’m seein’,
“Daddy it’s me! Help mummy her wrists are bleedin’”
But baby we’re in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?!
“I followed you daddy, you told me that you wern’t leavin
You lied to me dad, and now you make mummy sad
And I bought you this coin
It says ‘number 1 dad’, that’s all I wanted
I just wanna give you this coin
I get the point, fine, me and mummy are goin”
“But baby wait-”
“Its too late dad, you made your choice.
Now go out there and show ‘em you love ‘em more than us
That’s what they want
They want you Marshall, they keep
screamin your name, it’s no wonder you can’t go to sleep
Just take another pill, yeah I bet ya you will
You rap5 about it. Yeah word, ke-keep it real”
I hear applause6, all this time I couldn’t see
How could it be that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it,
put it to my brain, scream ‘Die Shady!’ and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes,
The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That’s when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin',
There’s birds singin’, it’s spring and
Hailie’s out side swingin’
I walk right up to Kim and kiss her, tell her I miss her
Hailie just smiles and winks7 at her little sister, almost as if to say-
[Chorus] [x2]
And when I’m gone, just carry on don’t mourn,
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I’m lookin’ down on you smiling
And I didn’t feel a thing so baby don’t feel no pain, just smile back.
中文歌词
当我离去
是的
这就是我的生活
用我自己的话描述的生活
你试过爱一个人如此之深,深到你可以牺牲一只手臂吗
不是那个短语(give an arm and a leg)不,是真正牺牲一只手臂
当他们知道他们是你的心脏
你知道你是他们的盔甲
你会消灭任何试图伤害她的人
但当你遭到报应的时候,会怎么样呢
所有你支持的一切开始攻击你,让你迷茫
当你成为她痛苦的主要源头,会怎么样呢
“爸爸看我做了什么?”
“爸爸要去赶飞机”
“爸爸,妈妈在哪里?我找不到她,她在哪里?”
“我不知道,去玩去,Hailie宝贝,你爸爸很忙”
“爸爸在写歌,歌不会自己写出来”
“我帮你拉一下秋千,然后你要自己荡”
然后在歌里写一句歌词告诉她你爱她
再把手放在简直和她一模一样的妈妈的身上
这就是Slim Shady,是的宝贝,Slim Shady疯了
Shady成就了我,但今晚, Shady是乖乖睡的宝贝
[合唱][x2]
当我走了,继续生活不要哀伤
每次听到我的声音要高兴起来
记住,我在低头看着你微笑
我什么感觉都没有,所以宝贝不要难过,笑着回应就行
我一直做这个梦——我推着秋千上的Hailie,她不停尖叫
她不想我再唱歌“你让妈妈哭了,为什么,为什么妈妈要哭”
“宝贝,爸爸再也不走了”
“爸爸你说谎
你总是那么说,你总是说这是最后一次
但你不会再走了,爸爸你是我的!”
她把纸箱推到门前试图挡住它
“爸爸求你爸爸别走爸爸——不,别说了”
她把手伸入口袋,拉出一个小小的项链盒子,里面有张照片
“这个会保护你的安全,爸爸,带着它走”
我向上看,只有我站在镜子前面,
这些该死的墙一定在说话,因为老天,我能听见
它们在说你还有一次机会去做正确的事,就在今晚
现在去那,告诉他们你爱他们,趁现在还来得及
当我走出我的卧室门,外面变成舞台,他们走了
聚光灯在闪而我在唱……
[合唱][x2]
当我走了,继续生活不要哀伤
每次听到我的声音要高兴起来,
记住,我在低头看着你微笑
我什么感觉都没有,所以宝贝不要难过,笑着回应就行
6万人全部跳出他们的座位
连幕落下,他们把玫瑰扔在我脚边
我鞠躬“谢谢你们大家能来”
他们叫得那么响,我看了人群最后一眼
我往下看,根本不能相信我所看见的
“爸爸是我!救救妈妈,她的手腕在流血”
“但宝贝我们在瑞典,你怎么来到这的?”
“我跟着你爸爸,你说你不会走的
你对我说谎了爸爸,你现在让妈妈伤心了
我给你买了这枚硬币
上面写着‘第一名爸爸’,这是我想要的
我只是想给你这枚硬币
我明白了,好吧,我和妈妈走了”
“宝贝等等”
“太迟了爸爸,你做出了选择。
现在出去,告诉他们你爱他们胜过我们
这就是他们想要的
他们想要你Marshell.
他们一直在叫你的名字,毫无疑问你睡不着
再吃片药吧,我打赌你会的
你用说唱唱出来吧,真的,说真话”
我听见鼓掌,却始终看不见
怎么可能,帘幕正在向我拉上
我转身,看见地板上有把枪,扣上扳机
朝着我的大脑,喊着‘死吧Shady’扣下扳机
天空变暗,我的生命消逝
我本来要乘的飞机坠落,化为灰烬
这时我醒来, 闹钟在响
有鸟在欢唱,这是春天
Hailie在外面荡秋千
我走向Kim去吻她,告诉她我想她
Hailie笑了笑,跟她的小妹妹眨眼,就像在说
[合唱][x2]
当我走了,继续生活不要哀伤
每次听到我的声音要高兴起来
记住我在低头看着你微笑
我什么感觉都没有,所以宝贝不要难过,笑着回应就行
我听之我见

歌手简介
Eminem,美国著名饶舌歌手。他出生在贫穷的家庭,从小随着母亲流离失所,直到12 岁在底特律东边安定下来, 就读当地的高中,但中途辍学。1997年,阿姆发行专辑《Infinite》,97年底赢得1997Wake Up Show Freestyle Performer of the Year from L.A.DJs Sway and Tech,并获得RapSheet杂志所颁发年度freestyle rap“Rap Olympics”中第二名。
1998年发行《The Slim Shady EP》,歌词中充满讽刺意味,访问中说到“Slim Shady is the evil side of me,the sarcastic,foul-mouthed side of me。”这张EP让阿姆成为地下音乐的红歌手,并多次受邀在其他歌手专辑中演出,受到Dr.Dre注视,Dr.Dre很快签下阿姆。
1999年初《My Name Is》音乐录像带受到世界注意,随即发行《The Slim Shady LP》,并登上Billboard专辑排行榜上第三名,同时赢得多项大奖,包括MTV音乐录像带最佳新人奖,最佳饶舌专辑格莱美奖。
2000年发行第三张个人专辑,《The Marshall Mathers LP》,在第一个礼拜已有1.76万张的销售成绩,仅次于N Sync。
但他同时也有负面新闻,被亲生母亲诉讼,涉嫌携带违禁手枪被逮捕,妻子企图自杀等。不过,虽然有负面新闻,Eminem依然拥有大批歌迷,是歌迷心中的饶舌歌王。他是勇敢的,他能把那些别人有意逃避,或者难以启齿的事情全部说出来,全部唱出来。
我听之我见
When I’m gone 收录于说唱歌手Eminem最新的一张音乐合辑,这首歌是Eminem写给女儿Hailie的。虽然Eminem和妻子Kim的婚姻破碎了,但是他仍然希望自己的女儿会过得幸福。歌曲背景音乐的忧伤感觉,加上Eminem那些充满自己心声的歌词,使得整首歌的感情是那么细腻和悲伤。虽然很多人都认为Eminem的RAP中充斥着大量的粗口和暴力,但是我觉得, RAP是一种生活的态度,Eminem用自己的RAP方式抨击着社会的黑暗,他敢做敢为,他叛逆,他不屑社会的舆论,他在RAP中寻找自我。
