OneRepublic - West Coast：歌詞+中文翻譯

OneRepublic於2022年的歌曲，
個人認為這首歌的節奏與
Gorillaz的Feel Good Inc還蠻像的。
我記得在我的人生有幾年的空窗期，
沒伴侶的日子，我很喜歡獨自一人去到陌生的城市或鄉鎮，
讓自己在那裏迷路個幾天，看著陌生的街道與人群，
唯一熟悉的是手上的錢與便利商店，
我突然覺得自己好像因此得到了某種程度的救贖，
當我回到原來的城市後，
覺得自己整個人都重生了。

這首歌其實完成在2016年，
這麼多年來沒發行的原因，
因為總會在決定發行的時間剛剛好因為某些原因，
導致延後發行，結果就這樣一年又一年，
直到今年才正式發布。

[Intro]

I've been dreamin' about the West Coast (I've been dreamin')
我想念那西岸的風情(我常掛念)

Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)

看一些沒見過的生面孔

Give me the sun for just a year

給我一年的時間與陽光共處

I'll kiss the sky and disappear

我願為此與天空吻別

[Verse 1]

I've been starin' up at the greyest skies
從爛泥巴打滾出來的我

Tryna find myself some luck but it's runnin' dry

總覺得人生會有好運發生，但事與願違

It's like the weather makes the worst of my cloudy mind

如同糟糕的天氣讓我的思緒更加混亂了

I could really use a dose of some paradise

我是可以用點來自天堂的能量

Sometimes you gotta run from a broken heart

某些時候人必須逃避那顆破碎的心

Before I turn into a ghost, need a brand new start

在我往生前，我希望能有個新的開始

Get myself headed to the coast, man, it ain't that far

當下直接決定動身前往西海岸，那其實不遠

Yeah, they got sun in LA and some shinin' stars

洛杉磯的陽光與星光閃閃

I've been dreamin' about the West Coast (I've been dreamin')

我想念那西岸的風情(我常掛念)

Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)

看一些沒見過的生面孔

Seein' signs for California

加州帶給我各式各樣的景象

Trade the shade for somethin' warmer

壞心情因此便好了起來

I've been dreamin' about the West Coast (I've been dreamin')

我想念那西岸的風情(我常掛念)

Where the people take it real slow (I've been dreamin' about it)

人們的生活步調是如此悠哉緩慢

I need the sun for just a year

給我一年的時間與陽光共處

I'll kiss the sky and disappear

我願為此與天空吻別

[Verse 2]

Ain't felt a drop now for forty days

老天已40天沒下雨了

But still they're washing cars and they don't show any age

大家依舊洗著車且不覺得有倦意

Ain't nothin' that you want'll cost you more than time
沒有什麼事你不用花時間搞定的

If you're tryna find yourself, better get in line

如果你想找回自己的價值，最好是按部就班來

I'm countin' up my money and spendin' to get it right

我算了算口袋的錢，並把它花在刀口上

Got the future in my pocket, I'm spendin' it all tonight

未來全在我的口袋裡，今晚我將一擲千金

Like a prophet with the vision, I finally see the light

如同看見未來的預言者，我終將看見曙光

And you know

你會懂得

[Chorus]

I've been dreamin' about the West Coast (I've been dreamin')

我想念那西岸的風情

Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)

看一些沒見過的生面孔

Seein' signs for California

加州帶給我各式各樣的景象

Trade the shade for somethin' warmer

I've been dreamin' about the West Coast (I've been dreamin')

我想念那西岸的風情

Where the people take it real slow (I've been dreamin' about it)

人們的生活步調是如此悠哉緩慢

I need the sun for just a year

I'll kiss the sky and disappear

The West Coast

西岸風情阿

Glitter nights under starry skies

漫天星空閃閃點綴

All I wanna do is fly

我現在只想飛翔

Take me where the sun shines

帶我前往陽光之地

I'll be there

我心之所向

[Bridge]

I've been dreamin' about the West Coast

我想念那西岸的風情

Time to find myself a new glow

是時候找到全新的自己了

I need the sun for just a year

給我一年的時間與陽光共處

I'll kiss the sky and disappear

我願為此與天空吻別

[Chorus]

以下不翻了~

I've been dreamin' about the West Coast (I've been dreamin')

Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)

Seein' signs for California

Trade the shade for somethin' warmer

I've been dreamin' about the West Coast (I've been dreamin')

Where the people take it real slow (I've been dreamin' about it)

I need the sun for just a year

I'll kiss the sky and disappear
