Angel

有一首歌讓我很著迷，
今天聽到了阿桑的新專輯，裡面也唱了這首歌，
在之前李聖傑的第一張專輯裡也有，是木吉他版的，
這首歌最一開始，是加拿大歌手Sarah McLachlan
的"Surfacing"這張專輯裡的一首歌，
後來成為X情人的電影插曲而更放光彩，
這首歌每一次聽都有一種很安靜的感覺，
但卻帶著隱隱憂傷，真的很美的一首歌，
像是在雲端隨著風飛翔，卻帶著無限的回憶，
在一個令人傷心的世界，轉身離開。

這是它的歌詞
Angel

Spend all your time waiting, For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason, To feel not good enough,
And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction, Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
And may be empty, Oh and weightless and maybe,
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel, Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find, some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, And everywhere you turn,
Cause vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
Keep on buliding the lies,
That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference, Escape one last time,
It's easier, to believe
In this sweet madness,
Oh, this glorious sadness,
That brings me to my kness

In the arms of the angel, Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel,
may you find, some comfort here

You're in the arms of the angel,
may you find, some comfort here


中文翻譯的意思大概是這樣

用全部的時間等待第二次機會
因為逃避能使一切更好
總是有理由說感覺不夠好
在每天將結束之時感到難過
我需要散散心，或是一個美麗的解脫
回憶自我的血管滲出讓我體內空無一物，了無牽掛
也許今晚我可以得到一些平靜

在天使的懷抱裡
飛離此地
遠離陰暗、寒冷的旅館房間
以及你無窮無盡的恐懼
你在無聲的幻夢殘骸中被拉起
在天使的懷抱裡
但願你能得到安慰

厭倦了走直線
你轉彎的每一個地方
總有兀鷹和小偷跟在身後
暴風雨仍肆虐不止
你仍在建構謊言以彌補你所欠缺的
但那於事無補，一再的逃避
會使人更容易相信
在這甜蜜的瘋狂、光榮的憂傷裡
使我頷首屈膝

在天使的懷抱裡
但願你能得到安慰

其實就有點像這樣的感覺，在黃昏時遇感受風、陽光，
再無奈的事情，也能輕輕放下，但轉身離開時，卻看見到一絲感傷。
