Alanis Morissette - Ironic(諷刺)：歌詞+中文翻譯

Alanis Morissette於1996年的歌曲，
人生就是那麼的有趣，

有些時候真的是屋漏偏逢連夜雨，
有的時候就是好運一直來，
這首歌相當有意思，當年也獲得不少排行榜的名次與音樂大獎，
後來也被許多歌手翻唱，
世事難料，你怎不好好活在當下呢？

An old man turned ninety-eight
一個老人已98歲

He won the lottery, and died the next day

他中了樂透，結果隔天就嗝屁了

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay

如同有隻蒼蠅飛進你的白葡萄酒裡

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

這感覺像是死刑被赦免延後兩分鐘執行

[Pre-Chorus]

And isn't it ironic?
諷刺對吧？

Don't you think?

妳認為呢？

[Chorus]

It's like rain on your wedding day

如同你婚禮當天下著雨

It's a free ride when you've already paid

當你已經買好車票結果卻有順風車

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

有這麼好的事，你卻不領情

And who would've thought? It figures

誰曉得？世事難料

[Verse 2]

Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly

安全第一先生相當怕坐飛機

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye

他收拾了行李並與孩子們吻別

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

他等了該死的一生來迎接這趟旅程

And as the plane crashed down
而在飛機墜毀的當下

He thought, "Well, isn't this nice?"

他心想：『太棒了不是嗎？』

[Pre-Chorus]

And isn't it ironic?
諷刺對吧？

Don't you think?

妳認為呢？

[Chorus]

It's like rain on your wedding day

如同你婚禮當天下著雨

It's a free ride when you've already paid

當你已經買好車票結果卻有順風車

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

有這麼好的事，你卻不領情

And who would've thought? It figures

誰曉得？世事難料

[Bridge]

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

生命就是如此有趣地去偷偷嚇你

When you think everything's okay and everything's going right

當你覺得天下太平，萬事如意時，

And life has a funny way of helping you out

生命就是如此有趣地去幫你

When you think everything's gone wrong

當妳認為一切都搞砸了時

And everything blows up in your face

那些倒楣事就完全攤在你面前

[Verse 3]

It's a traffic jam when you're already late

當你已經要遲到了，就會遇上交通阻塞

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
當你的休息時間可以來哈根菸時，剛好附近就會是禁止吸菸

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

就像這裡一大堆的湯匙，就剛好你需要的是隻刀子

It's meeting the man of my dreams

就像你遇上夢中的他

And then meeting his beautiful wife

然後他旁邊竟是他美麗的老婆...

[Pre-Chorus]

And isn't it ironic?
諷刺對吧？

Don't you think?

妳認為呢？

A little too ironic

有那麼點諷刺

And yeah, I really do think

我是真的這麼認為啦

[Chorus]

It's like rain on your wedding day

如同你婚禮當天下著雨

It's a free ride when you've already paid

當你已經買好車票結果卻有順風車

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

有這麼好的事，你卻不領情

And who would've thought? It figures

誰曉得？世事難料

[Outro]

And yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

生命就是如此有趣地去偷偷嚇你

And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out

生命就是如此有趣地去幫你

Helping you out

幫你脫離困境
