MKJ的《time》
Money is not evil by itself
錢本身無罪
Its just paper with perceived value to obtain other things we value in other ways
錢只是商品流通的交換介質,只是一張紙
If not money – what is evil you may ask?
那你會問,什麼是邪惡?
Evil is the unquenchable, obsessive and moral bending desire for more
邪惡是上癮的道德扭曲的慾望
Evil is the bottomless, soulless and obsessive-compulsive pursuit of some pot of gold
是強迫自己無休止地覬覦
at the end of some rainbow which doesn’t exist
那些並不存在的夢幻
Evil is having a price tag for your heart and soul in exchange for financial success at any cost
邪惡是你內心不惜一切代價獲取經濟利益的價格標籤
Evil is trying to buy happiness, again and again
是貪得無厭,索取幸福
until all of those fake, short lived mirages of emotions are gone
直到那些虛幻的蜃景消逝
Make more time
讓時間更有意義
I’m not saying you can’t be financially successful
我並不是說你不能在經濟上取得成功
I’m saying have a greater purpose in life well beyond the pursuit of financial success
我是說有一個偉大的生活目標會超越經濟方面的成功
Your soul is screaming for you to answer your true calling
你的靈魂在尖叫著等你最真切的迴應
You can change today if you redefine what success is to you
如果你重新定義成功,你可能改變自己的現狀
You can transform your damaged relationships and build new ones
你可能改善並重新建立你的人際關係
You can forgive yourself and others who’ve hurt you
你可能原諒自己和傷害過你的人
You can become a leader by mentoring with others who you aspire to be like
在你仰慕的人的指導下你也可能成為一個領導
You can re-balance your priorities in life
你可以重新調整生活的重心
You can heal your marriage and recreate a stronger love than you ever thought possible
你可以治癒你的婚姻並重建真愛
You can become the best parent possible at any age – even 86
你在任何年紀都能成為最好的父母,甚至在86歲
but don’t wait until then…
但千萬別等到那時
You will always be able to make more money
你將來可能會賺很多錢
But you cannot make more time
卻得不到更多時間
這首歌中的獨白來自摩根·弗里曼在紀錄片《Through The Wormhole With Morgan Freeman》(《與摩根·弗里曼一起穿越蟲洞》)中的一段臺詞。
第一次聽就不自覺的被這種磁性而穩重的聲音吸引,配合歌詞,讓人沉默,想喝杯咖啡,想點一支菸,看餘煙寥寥,終究化為灰燼~
