Forever Young是德國新浪潮隊伍Alphaville 成軍首支創作曲,燃燒青春熱情的雋永名曲,Alphaville 以電子合成樂聞名,也算是最早的Techno了。強烈的節奏,帶著優美的旋律,讓很多歌手也翻唱過,在 1984 年推出的第一張的專輯就全球知名,但是之後,這個團就比較沒有知名的曲子出現了。Forever Young的歌詞具批判性,歌曲也優美,值得欣賞。
Let's dance in style 讓我們翩然起舞
Let's dance for a while 讓我們盡情跳舞
Heaven can wait 天堂會等我們
We're only watching the skies 我們就這樣仰望著天空
Hoping for the best 期盼著最美好的
But expecting the worst 卻等到了最壞的
Are you going to drop the bomb or not 你是否準備要投下炸彈
Let us die young or let us live forever 讓我們英年早逝,或讓我們長生不死
We don't have the power 我們雖沒有權力
But we never say never 但我們絕不說:絕不
Sitting in a sandpit 坐臥在沙坑中
Life is a short trip 人生是一段短暫的旅行
The music's for the sad men 音樂是為了悲傷的人而存在
Can you imagine when this race is won 你能想像當我們贏得比賽
Turn our golden faces into the sun 我們將金色的臉龐轉向太陽
Praising our leaders 讚美我們的領袖
We're getting in tune 我們隨著音律擺動
The music's played by the madmen 狂人們正演奏著音樂
Forever young, I want to be forever young 永遠年輕,我想要永遠年輕
Do you really want to live forever 你真的想活到永遠
Forever -- and ever 永遠,永遠----
Some are like water 有些人像流水
Some are like the heat 有些人像熱氣
Some are a melody and some are the beat 有些人像一段旋律,又像是節拍
Sooner or later, they all will be gone 遲早,他們終將消逝
Why don't they stay young 為何他們無法青春永駐
It's so hard to get old without a cause 年歲漸長而漫無目標真是情何以堪
I don't want to perish like a fading horse 我不願如白駒過隙一般虛度
Youth's like diamonds in the sun 青春就像陽光下的鑽石
And diamonds are forever 而鑽石是永恆的
So many adventures couldn't happen today 如今有太多的冒險不敢去試
So many songs we forgot to play 太多的歌已經忘記怎麼唱
So many dreams swinging out of the blue 太多的夢想隨憂鬱擺盪
We'll let them come true 我們將使它們實現
