歌词
Fatima - K'naan
Fatima（阿拉伯语人名） - K'Naan
Picture the morning taste and devour
想想一个清晨，从品味慢慢坠入毁灭
We rise early pace up the hour
我们一早醒来，匆匆忙忙地赶时间
Streets is bustling hustling their heart out
街道上人群熙熙攘攘，忙于各自的事情
You can't have the sweet with no sour
甘甜总是在尝到苦涩之后
Spices herbs the sweet scent of flower
花草散发出沁人的芳香
She came out precisely the hour
正当这是，她走了出来
Clouds disappear the sun shows the power
乌云散去，太阳散发着光芒
No chance of a probable shower
没有一丝下雨的迹象
我爱上了邻家的女儿
I fell in love with my neighbors daughter
我想保护她，支持她
I wanted to protect and support her
尽管我才12岁零三个月
Never mind I'm just 12 and a quarter
我有着不切实际的梦想
I had dreams beyond our border
他们说你所需要的只是爱，这是真的
Is it true when they say all you need is just love
这是真的
那么那些曾经相爱
Is it true
却发现已经失去爱的人呢？
他们又为什么说孩子有自由的权利
What about those who have loved
获得自由
那些我已经了解
Only to find that it's taken away
而且刻骨铭心的人呢？
Fatima
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
那个年轻人说了什么
在他偷偷把你带走之前
To be free
在那个重要的日子里，Fatima
What about those who I've known
Fatima
他知道你的名字吗？
Whose memory still lives inside of me
他知道我们做过的约定吗？
Fatima
一起去纽约的约定，Fatima
放学后我们温习功课
What did the young man say
我想上帝祈祷希望时间慢下来
他却没有如我所愿
Before he stole you away
我只好冷静下来继续祈祷
Fatima，Fatima，你怎么了？
On that fateful day Fatima
你为什么没有从楼梯上上来
这样我们就可以假装没有明天
Fatima
该死的，你竟然让我独自等到明天
她会说阿拉伯语和斯瓦西里语
Did he know your name
她会用斯瓦西里语说“爱”
你那样美丽，像电视荧屏一样闪亮
Or the plans we made
然而那天之后她再也没来见过我
他们说你所需要的只是爱，这是真的
To go to New York city Fatima
这是真的
那么那些曾经相爱
And after school we studied the lessons
却发现已经失去爱的人呢？
I ask god to slow down the seconds
他们又为什么说孩子有自由的权利
He does the opposite that's what I'm guessing
获得自由
I better chill and count my own blessings
那些我已经了解
Fatima Fatima what is the matter
而且刻骨铭心的人呢？
How come you ain't come up the ladder
Fatima
So we can be like there's no tomorrow
那个年轻人说了什么？
Damn you gonna make me wait until tomorrow
在他偷偷把你带走之前
She spoke Arabic and swahili
在那个重要的日子里，Fatima
She'd say Upendo until Swahili
Fatima
You so bright you shine like my TV
他知道你的名字吗？
Then one day she never came to meet me
他知道我们做过的约定吗？
Is it true when they say all you need is just love
一起去纽约的约定，Fatima
Fatima
Is it true
那个年轻人说了什么？
在他偷偷把你带走之前
What about those who have loved
在那个重要的日子里，Fatima
Fatima
Only to find that it's taken away
他知道你的名字吗？
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
他知道我们做过的约定吗？
一起去纽约的约定，Fatima
To be free
如果她的美貌落在旁人的眼中
为什么当她经过的时候所有人都屏息凝视？
What about those who I've known
为什么其他女孩见到她就想咒骂她？
为什么天使也想保护她
Whose memory still lives inside of me
Fatima，Fatima，我现在在美国
Fatima
我会作诗并且让它们韵律优美
你会喜欢康涅狄格州的公园
What did the young man say
你会像以前一样说我工作太拼命了
该死的射击手，该死的大楼
Before he stole you away
该死的遮挡住正在流血的她的大楼
该死的充满杀机的国家
On that fateful day Fatima
去你的誓死不屈
他们说你所需要的只是爱，这是真的
Fatima
这是真的
那么那些曾经相爱
Did he know your name
却发现已经失去爱的人呢？
他们又为什么说孩子有自由的权利
Or the plans we made
获得自由
那些我已经了解
To go to New York city Fatima
而且刻骨铭心的人呢？
Fatima
Fatima
那个枪手说了什么？
在他带走你之前，在那个重要的日子里
What did the young man say
Fatima
Fatima
Before he stole you away
他知道你的名字吗？知道我们做过的约定吗？
On that fateful day Fatima
一起去纽约的约定
Fatima
Fatima
Fatima
那个枪手说了什么？
Did he know your name
在他带走你之前，在那个重要的日子里
Fatima
Or the plans we made
Fatima
他知道你的名字吗？知道我们做过的约定吗？
To go to New York city Fatima
一起去纽约的约定
Fatima
If beauty was in the eyes of beholder
Fatima
How come everyone hushed when she walked by
现在我只想说清楚
How come girls would look just to scold her
我不希望你流一滴眼泪
How come the angel wanted to hold her
因为现在这里是一个庆祝会 我们不因该悲伤，我们应该欢庆
Fatima Fatima I'm in America
Fatima
I make rhymes and I make them delicate
耶
You would have liked the parks in connecticut
所以，宝贝不要哭，求你不要流眼泪
You would have said I'm working too hard again
不要哭
Damn you shooter damn you the building
Whose walls hid the blood she was spilling
Damn you country so good at killing
Damn you feeling for persevering
Is it true when they say all you need is just love
Is it true
What about those who have loved
Only to find that it's taken away
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
To be free
What about those who I've known
Whose memory still lives inside of me
Fatima
What did the gun man say
Before he took you away on that fateful day
Fatima
Fatima
Did he know your name or the plans we made
To go to New York city
Fatima
Fatima
What did the gun man say
Before he took you away on that fateful day
Fatima
Fatima
Did he know your name or the plans we made
To go to New York city
Fatima
Fatima
Now I just want to make it clear I don't want you to
Shed a tear
Because this here is a celebration we're not mourning we're celebrating
Fatima
Yeah
So baby don't cry please don't let the tears fall
So don't cry
