U2 - Beautiful Day


The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground##ReadMore##
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

這是我認識U2的第一首歌，也是我聽過U2的歌曲中最喜歡一首。
歌詞中反差敘述著你有多衰，但卻是多麼「美麗的一天」。只要心存盼望，有堅定不移的信心，相信拯救必來到，那麼你將會看見啣著綠葉的飛鳥，在洪水過後乍現的繽紛色彩…

Touch me, Take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
觸摸我，領我到另一個天地。
教導我，我知道我並非沒有盼望。

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
現在沒有的你並不需要
你不懂的你就是能感覺得到

在挫敗又疲勞的一天之後，真是damn right!
