Kendrick Lamar - PRIDE.歌詞翻譯152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ022E5GE8gk

Love's gonna get you killed152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1n84vSqaD

愛會讓你惹來殺身之禍

But pride's gonna be the death of you and you and me

但傲慢才是會成為你我靈魂的死因

And you and you and you and me

你我無法逃離這個道理

And you and you and you and me

你我都是

And you and you and you and me and-

你我皆是

Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care

我從沒被教導過要與人分享，但我會關心他人

(In another life, I surely was there)

（在來世，我肯定就在那個地方）

Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care

我從沒被教導過要與人分享，但我會關心他人

(I care, I care)

（我是真的在乎、真的在乎啊）

Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions

喧嘩騷動、爭名逐利，這就是世俗價值

Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?

耽於肉慾、毒害靈魂，你願意去掉哪一個？*¹

The better part, the human heart

人心那良善的一面

You love 'em or dissect 'em

看你要用來愛人還是算計人

Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?

尋求幸福或是追隨鎂光燈，你又怎麼回答這題？

See, in a perfect world, I would be perfect, world

看吶，在完美的世界，我也很完美的，世界

I don't trust people enough beyond their surface, world

我不相信那些僅能用肉眼見得表面的世人

I don't love people enough to put my faith in man

仍不夠大愛到能把我的信念託付於人

I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make a band

我只把我的信念放在歌詞，希望能大賺一筆

I understand I ain't perfect

我了解我並不完美

I probably won't come around

我可能又不想理會你們

This time, I might put you down

這回，我可能要說些難聽話

Last time, I ain't give a fuck, I still feel the same now

上次我對你們漠不關心，我想這次也一樣

My feelings might go numb, you're dealing with cold thumb

我的情感可要趨於麻木，你們得要處理我的冷漠了

I'm willing to give up a leg and arm to show empathy from

我可樂意捨棄一隻腿腳與胳膊，來換取你們的同情心

Pity parties and functions of you and yours

就算只是為了在你們那些可悲的取暖圈子中當談資

A perfect world, you probably live another 24

在那完美的世界，你大概能活出另一個24年*²

I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure

可我不能因為你的狗屁不安感而故作謙虛啊

I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure

就是不能因為你的狗屁不安感而故作謙虛啊

Maybe I wasn't there (We saw you first)

也許我不該在這裡（我們先看到你了）

Maybe I wasn't there (I saw you first)

也許我不能在這裡（是我先發現你）

Maybe I wasn't there (I saw you first)

也許我不該存在（是我先發現你）

Maybe I wasn't there

跟你們不在一個世界啊

Now, in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive

現在，若在一個完美的世界裡，我大概不會如此冷漠

Cold as December, but never remember what winter did

態度如12月的天氣一樣冷，但不會記得寒風曾刺骨過

I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid

我也不會因為我犯下的錯誤而責怪你

Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays

感覺現今我對他人指指點點就只是想指出什麼想法*³

Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there

微笑也好與漠視也罷，溫度就在那裡

Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here

用與生俱來的性格待人接物，感覺我們屬於這裡

I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back

我知道高牆後面的他們能夠傾聽、我希望他們能回應

The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that

可傷害繼續重複，連愛也幾乎要被消磨殆盡

Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride

傲慢就像毒液，不斷侵蝕你我

A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies

其實完美的世界從來不完美，全只用謊言滿溢

Promises are broken and more resentment come alive

承諾逐一被打破在地，恨意萌生與日劇增

Race barriers make inferior of you and I

種族隔閡讓你我低人一等

See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches

看吶，要是在完美的世界，我選信仰而非富貴

I'll choose work over bitches, I'll make schools out of prison

會選擇事業而非女色、選擇學識而非牢獄

I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service

我將整合所有宗教，讓其合而為一

Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world

就只是告訴世人，其實我們屁都不是，只有祂最為完美

*¹：Flesh-making有“讓外在變好看”的意思，那在整首歌（物慾vs靈性）反而有貶的意思，而lessen（較少）在這裡也取諧音“lesson”（教訓、課題），指Kendrick在這裡想教給聽者的事。

*²：“24”有兩層意思，一種是指80年代（Kendrick生長的時代）市內貧民區的黑人平均壽命只有24-25歲左右；另一種在歌中的情景為“24小時”，指有些人早點消失不見，世界才會更臻完美。

*³：word play，利用point的兩種意思，“指責”與“指出某個觀點”，更顯Kendrick被傲慢毒害之深，連想講什麼也變得空泛。

「驕傲來，羞恥也來，謙遜人卻有智慧。」152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I3dKsy9M8
——箴言11：2152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMrDfquFWw

　　“傲慢”之所以被認為是七宗罪之首，就是因為該情緒讓自己比他者優越，甚至會認為比上帝還優秀。主角將這份傲慢圍繞在“自己是最優秀的饒舌歌手”的想法，再衍伸出一條反省的思路。152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaHXs5yhdS

152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAgiGk8rFj

　　開頭利用英文的一種說法“sharing is caring”（與人分享就是關懷照顧他人）。可鑒於Kendrick過去生長的貧困環境，其實很難與他人真正“分享”什麼物質財產——也同時造就他沒辦法跟別人分享自己真正的想法，所以他也道出自己的信任問題（trust issue）：“沒辦法把信任放在人身上，頂多就是放在詞上”。152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe1DF1uWnX

152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2xjsirkHK

　　獲得名利、依靠天份與勤勞取得巨大的成功，這是屬於Kendrick的驕傲，可他沒辦法與同胞分享，進而心懷出自己是在逃離家鄉／民族問題的罪惡感，深沉的痛，讓他產生出“脫離這個世界”的厭世想法。152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnnus5EbkM

152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr0Kwb6fNG

　　所以在歌詞中，主角（比神還偉大地）創造一個“完美的世界”，告訴聽者在另一個世界他會關心、也會分享，以及會選擇屬靈的良善事物而非物慾——但矛盾在於，主角又將這一切推翻掉，主因也是因為心懷的傲慢不讓他允許這世界存在。酸民與批評者一直都在高牆後面，而那些厭惡一直都是主角對自己的反映。152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj6qR9x30X

152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWbVr9BLn2

　　傲慢（PRIDE.）難解又無法割捨，下一首，主角內心得要發起謙虛（HUMBLE.）來治理這份心病。152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl2PK6hOJ0
