啊飄的音樂、電玩以及生活雜記。

今天要介紹的是由嘻哈天王Lil Wayne

與火星人Bruno Mars聯手打造的Mirror。

Lil Wayne是我一直很喜歡的饒舌歌手之一，

從出道就備受爭議的他，負面傳聞從未斷過，

但仍無法掩蓋他在音樂方面綻放的光芒。

更被譽為嘻哈天才，其獨特的嗓音令人印象深刻。

如果你喜歡聽Rap，

那你應該了解這類歌曲的精隨在於歌詞。

Mirror的歌詞在描寫外在軀殼與內心自我的對白，

進而達到「自我肯定」的目標。

MV利用大量的油漆潑灑，

黑紅交錯表達出內心的掙扎。

而直至最後完成的漆畫，

所表達的是Lil Wayne對於音樂的執著，

讓自身能夠在音樂這條路上不斷前進。

Bruno Mars在這首歌中有著無可取代的地位，

他將較深層的情感面藉由副歌出色的發揮出來。

與Lil Wayne相比之下，

其柔和的嗓音唱出了心中的那份柔軟。

以上。

希望你/妳喜歡今天的音樂。

PS. 有朋友問我為什麼不翻譯歌詞？

      有興趣的朋友可以自行查閱，

      在我看來畢竟使用的語言不同，

      經過翻譯不易完整傳達作詞人的想法。

 Mirror - Lil Wayne ft. Bruno Mars

[Lil Wayne:]
Uh
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
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...

[Bruno Mars:]
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?

[Lil Wayne:]
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
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...

[Bruno Mars:]
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?

[Lil Wayne:]
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
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...

[Bruno Mars:]
Mirror on the wall,

[Lil Wayne:]
MJ taught me that.

[Bruno Mars:]
Here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend

[Lil Wayne:]
Take 'em to Mars man

[Bruno Mars:]
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we talkin' to each other again?

[Lil Wayne:]
Uh...

[Bruno Mars:]
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?

[Bruno Mars:]
Mirror on the wall.

[Wayne:]
Ay, B.P.
Looks like I did take 'em to Mars this time

[Bruno Mars:]
So why are we talking to each other again?
