Another day in paradise 天堂的另一日
Another day in paradise Phil Collins
She calls out to the man on the street
" Sir, can you help me ?"
" It's cold, and I've nowhere to sleep
Is there somewhere you can tell me ?
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
*Oh, think twice
It's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
It's just another day for you
You and me in paradise( think about it )
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk, but she's trying
Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
Cause she didn't fit in there
天堂的另一日 菲尔柯林斯
她向街道上的一名男子求救
“先生,你能帮帮我吗?
天气很冷,我无处容身
有没有地方可以让我住下来?”
他向前走去,没有回头
假装没听到她的话
在过马路时吹起了口哨
好象对自己经过那里而感到丢脸
噢,仔细想想
对你我来说,每天都像是天堂的另一日
噢,仔细想想
对你我来说
不过是天堂的另一日
她向街道上的一名男子求救
他看得出来她哭了很久
她的脚底长了脓疮
不良于行,但她努力走着
噢!上帝,难道其它人都无能为力?
噢!上帝,你一定要表示一些意见
你可以清楚的看见她脸上的皱纹
你也知道她在那里已经很久了
她应该曾经四处迁徙
因为她找不到落脚的地方
Homeless,栖身在公园、地下道或街角的游民,已是现代都市里无法漠视的现象,他们为何无家可归?或者有家却归不得?每位游民背后可能都背负着一串令人心酸的过去,但有谁在乎?
