经典英文歌曲：Leona Lewis发行翻唱EP《Hurt》

Leona Lewis发行翻唱EP《Hurt》

Leona Lewis全新EP《Hurt》于12月9日发行。EP收录的三首歌均为翻唱，分别是Nine Inch Nails的《Hurt》、Goo Goo Dolls的《Iris》和Counting Crows的《Colorblind》。另外，她的新专辑《Glassheart》将定于2012年3月26日发行。今天推荐的是专辑的同名歌《Hurt》，来自美国著名金属乐队“九寸钉”。这首歌也曾经被乡村传奇歌手Johnny Cash翻唱过，MTV录影带获得了格莱美四项提名。
从前奏诡异又空灵的钢琴声开始，就垫定了整首歌极度忧郁的基调。小编一时难接受这种堵心的“虐歌”，也强烈建议大家切勿在万籁俱寂的时候一个人聆听。

Song：Hurt
Artist：Leona Lewis
I hurt myself today,
To see if I still feel,
I focus¹ on the pain,
The only thing that's real,

The needle tears a hole,
The old familiar sting²,
Try to kill it all away,
But I remember everything,

What have I become,
My sweetest friend,
Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end,

And you can have it all,
My empire of dirt,
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt,

Beneath the stains³ of time,
The feelings disappear,
You are someone else,
I am still right here,

And you can have it all,
My empire of dirt,
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt,

If I could start again,
A million miles away,
I will keep myself,
I would find a way.
