滬江英樂 Mad World 是英國樂隊Tears For Fears在82年創(chuàng)作的早期作品之一,由Roland Orzabal創(chuàng)作和樂隊貝斯手Curt Smith演唱。Mad World樂隊發(fā)行的第三首單曲也是第一首榜單熱曲。20年后,因為電影《死亡幻覺(Donnie Darko)》在片尾使用了 Michael Andrews 和 Gary Jules創(chuàng)作的敘事版本Mad World,使得此曲再度走紅。這一版本在2003年12月達(dá)到了英國熱銷單曲的首位,同時,這首單曲也被用于視頻游戲 Gears of War 的宣傳片中。

All around me are familiar faces 周圍都是一成不變的面孔
Worn out places worn out faces 破舊的地方 疲憊的臉孔
Bright and early for their daily races 早早起來開始日常的競爭
Going nowhere going nowhere 無處可去 無處可逃
And their tears are filling up their glasses 他們的淚水盈滿了眼鏡
No expression no expression 面無表情 面無表情
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow 把頭深埋 想把我的憂愁忘卻
No tomorrow no tomorrow 沒有未來 沒有未來

And I find it kind of funny 感到有些可笑
I find it kind of sad 感到有些悲傷
The dreams in which I'm dying 那些我曾沉醉于其中的夢
Are the best I've ever had 是我有過的最妙的
I find it hard to tell you 我發(fā)現(xiàn)很難向你說明
('cause) I find it hard to take 因為這很難接受
When people run in circles 當(dāng)人們的日子就這樣循環(huán)往復(fù)
It's a very very 這真是一個非常非常
Mad World 瘋狂的世界
