经典英文歌曲:生活在继续：Life Goes On-Gym Class Heroes & Oh Land

 生活在继续：Life Goes On-Gym Class Heroes & Oh Land

 

来自纽约的Gym Class Heroes，风格以嘻哈说唱为主，却没有黑帮硬派声韵。他们联手优雅女声Oh Land共同演绎励志单曲《Life Goes On》。这首歌于2012年2月发行，阐释了最平淡的真理：生活在继续，我们要认真地生活。

 

歌词:

 

Let's go!

 

[Oh Land - Chorus]

Oh when the day is gone

Oh when the nights are long

Life goes on

Life goes on

We gotta live it up til it's gone (live it up)

Cuz we won't be around too long

Life goes on

Life goes on (yea!)

 

[Travie McCoy]

Lately it seems the good dreams are few and far between

Nightmares are putting fires out with gasoline (damn)

And I'm just tryna stay righteous

Sometimes I see my own face in Christ's likeness¹

And apart from my life's vices², fifteen years young had my first mid-life crisis

But it's tough to stay upright and pious³ when people you hold highest be the ones that most biased⁴

My daddy told me misery⁵ loves company

If that's the case they must hate they ain't getting none from me

I don't sweat it, it's embedded⁶ in my DNA⁷

I got a good heart and bad brains BMA

 

[Chorus]

Oh when the day is gone (yea!)

Oh when the nights are long (uh huh)

Life goes on (life goes on)

Life goes on (They say that life goes on. Let's go!)

We gotta live it up til it's gone

Cuz we won't be around too long

Life goes on (Life goes on)

Life goes on (You know that life goes on)

 

[Travie McCoy]

Up late facebookin, playin could've been

And starin at an empty bed my ex-girl should've been in

Thinking what I woulda done different

Not a damn thing cuz finally I'm done with it

Besides I got a girl that adores me

And I never take for granted all things she does for me (never)

I shoot the moon down and put it on a wedding band

And sing "These Arms of Mine" to her

She's Otis Redding fan

And she'll never forget it man (never)

Cuz she knows she'll never find a better man

Let's go ahead with these wedding plans

Come on, let's sing a song life goes on

 

[Chorus]

Oh when the day is gone (day's gone)

Oh when the nights are long (nights are long)

Life goes on (life goes on)

Life goes on (you know that life goes on. come on!)

We gotta live it up til it's gone (live it up)

Cuz we won't be around too long

Life goes on (life goes on)

Life goes on (they say that life goes on)

 

[Bridge]

You take too much for granted

(Too much. We don't want an inch we want miles)

I just can't understand it

(Can't understand it. Is it really that hard to smile?)

We don't ask, we demand it

 

(We demand it. It's gone when it's gone.)

And I'm tryin not to panic

(But you know what they say. Life goes on.)

 

[Chorus]

Oh when the day is gone (yea!)

Oh when the nights are long

Life goes on (life goes on)

Life goes on (you know that life goes on. come on!)

We gotta live it up til it's gone (live it up)

Cuz we won't be around too long

Life goes on (life goes on)

Life goes on (life goes on)

 

They say that life goes on

You know that life goes on

They say that life goes on

You know that

You know that

You know that life goes on
