【Bruno Mars & Lil Wayne - Mirror】

中英歌词:

With everything happening today
You don't know whether you're coming or going
But you think that you're on your way
Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it, woo.
Look at me when I'm talking to you
You looking at me but I'm looking through you
在今天发生了这些事以后
你也不知道自己应该去或是留
不过你想你已经在正确的路上
人生已经展开在眼前,别荒废了它
我和你交谈的时候看着我
你看着我,可我已经看穿了你

I see the blood in your eyes
I see the love in disguise
I see the pain hidden in your pride
I see you're not satisfied
And I don't see nobody else
I see myself I'm looking at the...
我从你的眼睛里看到血性
从伪装背后看到爱
我看到你的骄傲背后隐藏的痛苦
我知道你并不满意
我没看到任何人在你身边
我只看到我自己,我看着…

Mirror on the wall ([Wayne:] Ooh), here we are again ([Wayne:] Yeah)
Through my rise and fall ([Wayne:] Uh)
You've been my only friend ([Wayne:] Yeah)
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again?
墙上的镜子,我们再次站在这里
经历了人生的大起大落
你始终是我唯一的朋友
你曾说他们会明白我是怎样的人
可那为什么我们还要在这儿对镜自语

Uh, I see the truth in your lies
I see nobody by your side
But I'm with you when you are all alone
And you correct me when I'm looking wrong
我看得到你谎言背后的真实
我看到你身旁无人相随
不过在你独自一人的时候我始终相伴
我做错的时候是你纠正我

I see the guilt beneath the shame
I see your soul through your window pane
I see the scars that remain
I see you Wayne, I'm looking at the...
我能看到羞愧背后的内疚
透过你我能看到你的灵魂
看到那些残留下的伤痕
我能明白你,Wayne,我看着…

Mirror on the wall, here we are again ([Wayne:] Yeah)
Through my rise and fall ([Wayne:] Uh-Huh)
You've been my only friend ([Wayne:] my only friend)
You told me that they can understand the man I am ([Wayne:] they can understand)
So why are we here ([Wayne:] misunderstood) talkin' to each other again?
墙上的镜子,我们再次站在这里
经历了人生的大起大落
你始终是我唯一的朋友
你曾说他们会明白我是怎样的人
可那为什么我们还要在这儿对镜自语

Looking at me now I can see my past
Damn, I look just like my fucking dad
Light it up, that's smoke in mirrors
I even look good in the broken mirror
看着我,现在我可以看到我的过去
该死的,我看见我那倒霉老爹
照亮些,镜子看不清楚了
在破镜子里我竟然看起来还不错

I see my momma smile – that's a blessing
I see the change, I see the message
And no message could've been any clearer
So I'm startin' with the man in the...
我看见妈妈在微笑,这是个好兆头
我看到改变,我能到这信号
没什么信号能更明确了
所以,我,要重新开始人生了

Mirror on the wall,
MJ taught me that.
Here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
Take 'em to Mars man
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we talkin' to each other again?
Uh...
]墙上的镜子(MJ教过我这个)
我们再次站到这里
经过人生起落
你始终是我唯一的朋友(带我去火星吧,伙计)
你曾说他们会明白我是怎样的人
可那为什么我们还要在这
对镜自语

Mirror on the wall ([Wayne:] Ooh), here we are again ([Wayne:] Yeah)
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend ([Wayne:] Any questions?)
You told me that they can ([Wayne:] I come to you) understand the man I am ([Wayne:] You always have the answer)
So why are we here talkin' to each other again?
墙上的镜子,我们再次站到这里
经过人生起落
你始终是我唯一的朋友(有什么问题么)
你曾说他们会(我来到你身边)
明白我是怎样的人(你一直知道答案的)
可那为什么我们还要在这儿对镜自语

Mirror on the wall.
Ay, B.P.
Looks like I did take 'em to Mars this time
So why are we talking to each other again?
Hey BP, 看起来我这次没把他们带火星上去嘿
可那为什么我们还要在这
