歌词
Andy was a catholic, the ethic ran through his bones
安迪信奉天主教,基督的道德准则深入他的骨髓
He lived alone with his mother, collecting gossip and toys
他曾和母亲单独住在一起,收集着八卦和玩具
Every sunday when he went to church
每到礼拜日,当他去教堂的时候
He'd kneel in his pew and say, "it's just work,
他会跪在长椅上说,“只有工作,
All that matters is work."
世上唯一重要的就是工作。”
He was a lot of things, what I remember most
我印象最深的是,他那时身兼多职
He'd say, "I've got to bring home the bacon,
他会说:“我得把这些熏肉带回家,
someone's got to bring home the roast."
谁来把这些烤肉带回去?”
He'd get to the factory early
他会早早地来到“工厂”(安迪·沃霍尔在纽约的工作室)
If you'd ask him he'd tell you straight out
如果你问他为什么,他会毫不犹豫的告诉你
It's just work,
“这只是工作罢了”
No matter what I did it never seemed enough
不管我做得多好,他永远嫌不够
He said I was lazy, I said I was young
他说我是个懒汉,我争辩我只是年轻
He said, "how many songs did you write?"
他问:“你写了多少歌?”
I'd written zero, I'd lied and said, "ten."
我可能一首都没写,但我会撒谎说:“十首”
"You won't be young forever
“你不可能永远年轻,
You should have written fifteen."
你本该写个十五首。
It's work,
这就是工作!”
"you ought to make things big
“你应该去把事情闹大
People like it that way
人们就喜欢那样
And the songs with the dirty words –make sure record them that way"
至于那些满是脏话的歌——确保你一字不改地录下来”
Andy liked to stir up trouble, he was funny that way
安迪很喜欢搞事情,他那样的时候真是滑稽
he said that's just work
而他说那只是工作罢了
Andy sat down to talk one day
某天安迪想和我坐下来聊聊
He said decide what you want
他说:“你要决定你想要什么
Do you want to expand your parameters
你想要扩展你的眼界吗?
Or play museums like some dilettante
还是只想当个涉猎甚浅的“万事通”?”
I fired him on the spot, he got red and called me a rat
我一下子把他惹火了,他脸涨得通红骂我是个小人
It was the worst word that he could think of
这是他想得到的最恶劣的词语了
And I've never seen him like that
而我从没见过他这么生气
It's just work, I thought he said it's just work
这就是工作,我想他说这就是工作
Andy said a lot of things, I stored them all away in my head
安迪说过很多事情,我都把它们牢记在脑海里
Sometimes when I can't decide what I should do
有些时候我难以决定该做什么
I think what would andy have said
我就会想象安迪对此会怎么说
He'd probably say you think too much
他可能会说我想太多了
That's 'cause there's work that you don't want to do
那是因为有些事情你不想去做
It's work, the most important thing is work
这就是工作,最重要的事情就是工作
It's work, the most important thing is work
这就是工作,最重要的事情就是工作
