【歌詞翻譯】Billie Eilish - BIRDS OF A FEATHER 怪奇比莉 - 同樣的羽毛

收錄專輯: Hit Me Hard and Soft 發行時間: 2024

很喜歡這首歌，是這張專輯裡我最喜歡的一首，詞曲和歌聲都很美，聽完後決定來翻一下歌詞，不過真的有點難翻。

Birds of a feather, we should stick together. 披著同樣的羽毛，我們注定如影隨形

" Birds of a feather " 指擁有一樣羽毛的鳥，也就是同種類的鳥，而英文裡就是用來指 ｢ 同一類 ｣ 或 ｢ 志趣相同 ｣ 的人。" Birds of a feather flock together. " 這個英文俚語就是中文的 ｢ 物以類聚 ｣、｢ 氣味相投 ｣。

Billie 引用這句話寫成 " Birds of a feather, we should stick together. "，表達兩人很契合，要永遠在一起。其他部分的歌詞則寫到愛一個人至死不渝，踏入墳墓前都要陪在對方身旁的心意，還有如果其中一個人先走，自己也要跟隨在後的想法，並且帶出人無法永生，兩人的愛無法到永遠，因此感到無奈、心痛，而最後以愛可以超越時空，或是來世再見做結尾，這愛的深度...，到底是寫給誰的呢?

註解:

1. turn blue 指死掉後沒有血色
2. 過去認為一個人生活也沒差，或是還過得去，但現在實在太愛這個人，沒有他/她不行，所以就不這樣覺得了
3. 這裡的 bit 應該是指 joke、喜劇段子
4. The person here says that Billie is joking around, not believing he/she deserves to be loved by her.
