龙老师形体舞蹈一家人:每日一歌：I have never been to me---我从未找到过自我

I have never been to me --- 我从未找到过自我

                               一直很喜欢的一首歌，如泣如诉、撼人心扉！
                              “到过天堂，到过任何足迹能及的地方,却从未到过自己的内心...”
                               歌词展示了一颗因玩世不恭而最终疲惫不堪的心灵，
                               经历过后才会明白
                               真理就在你身边，就是你怀中的婴儿，就是你身旁的丈夫。
                               听之不免想起泰戈尔的名言：
                              “What if you win the whole world and lose yourself"
                                赢得了整个世界而丢失了自己又有何益？

                                   一直认为蓝调属于梅雨的季节.
                                   淡雅的旋律和着浅浅的雍懒, 透露些许的惆怅,

                                   又悬挂着几丝忧伤.
                                   这首I've Never Been to Me是Charlene的代表作.
                                   以这首歌奠定蓝调灵魂歌手的她却是昙花一现.
                                   已经没有人再追寻其中的原因.或许,演唱者本身就是一曲蓝调.

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
嘿，这位太太，你这对自己的生命充满怨恨的太太
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
啊，我曾到过乔治亚、到过加州，还有任何我可以去到的地方
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
我牵过一个神职男人的手，一起在阳光下缠绵
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away

I can see so much of me still living in your eyes

Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
啊，我曾到过尼斯和希腊的岛屿，坐在游艇上啜饮着香槟
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got

I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
我曾被王侯宽衣解带，看过好些普通女人看不到的事情
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
我曾经到过天堂，但我从未找到过自我

[Spoken]
（口白）
Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie

A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
一种我们创造出来，所有人和所有地方都尽如我们期望的幻想
But you know what truth is?

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
有时候我曾经为了那我从未生过、或许可以让我成为完整女人的孩子而哭泣
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
但我选择了甜蜜的生活，我从不知道有一天我会由甜转为苦
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
我曾浪费我的生命，探索着那种让我付出太高代价的、人尽可夫的自由生活
Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
我曾经到过天堂，但我从未找到过自我
