Twist In My Sobriety
- Tanita Tikaram -
All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk, girl
Now your conscience is clear
모든 하느님의 자녀들에게는
근심을 떠나 보낼 여행 신발이 필요해
좋은 사람들은 좋은 책을 읽고
순결한 양심을 같게 되지
당신이 하는 말을 들었어
이제 순결한 양심을 갖게 되었다고
In the morning I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say
아침에 눈썹을 밀어 버리면,
아주 깨끗이 밀어 버리면
다른 사람 말은 듣지 않고
내 의지대로 살고 싶다는 생각이 들어
절대 그대로 하지 않을거야
시키는대로 하지 않을 거야
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red
from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
봐, 내 눈은 홀로그램 같고
당신의 사랑은
내 손에 의해 붉게 물들었지만
얽히고 설켜 버린
나의 온전함보다는 더 심하지 않을거야
We just poked a little pie
For the fun people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free
우리는 그저 한밤에 즐기는
장난처럼 텅 빈 파이를 찔렀지
늦은밤, 적대감이나 소심한 웃음,
머뭇거림은 필요치 않아
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
생각이 다르다 해도 난 상관 없어
사고의 차이는 내게 도움이 되거든
정숙하고 온전하게 품에 안겨
신의 자녀들은 누구나 대가를 치르지
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
봐, 내 눈은 홀로그램 같고
당신의 사랑은
내 손에 의해 붉게 물들었지만
얽히고 설켜 버린
나의 온전함보다는 더 심하지 않을거야
Cup of tea, take time to think, yea
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light
차 한잔 마시며 느긋하게 생각해 봐
인생의 모험을 해 볼 때가 됐어
달콤하고 멋지고,
부드럽고 통통하고
깨닫기 전까진 무턱대고 먹어대지
깨닫기 전까진 말야
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell News you have to sell
사람들 중 반은 신문을 읽어.
그것도 아주 꼼꼼하게
잘생긴 사람들, 긴장한 사람들
사람들은 팔아야 해
뉴스를 팔아야 해
Tanita Tikaram
1969년 피지계의 아버지와 말레이시아인 어머니 사이에서 태어난 Tanita Tikaram이 1988년 발표한 데뷔작에 수록된 곡. 당시 나이가 겨우 19세에 불과했던 그녀는 이 데뷔 앨범으로 영국 차트 10위권에 진입했고, 각 언론으로부터 '천재 싱어송라이터' '영국의 미래를 대표할 뮤지션'이라는 극찬을 받기도. 이 곡은 Good Tradition과 함께 앨범에서 싱글로 발표된 곡.
twist in my sobriety
sobriety는 '술에 취하지 않은, 침착한, 냉정한' 이란 뜻으로 경찰이 실시하는 음주운전 테스트를 sobriety test. twist는 배배 꼰다는 말, '나의 sobriety의 twist'라는 건 온전한 정신을 찾지 못하고 이런 저런 생각과 고민에 괴로워 하는 모습을 표현.
