2020年在追 后翼棄兵(The Queen’s Gambit)的時候
腦中就一直浮現這首 Ava Max的 Kings & Queens
王座不專屬於國王，實力夠的話，皇后也能上座
孤軍奮戰的皇后，不要難過，我們都會伴妳左右
Ava Max – Kings & Queens
Kings & Queens 歌詞翻譯/旁白
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne 如果所有的國王，都讓他們的皇后登上王座 We would pop champagne and raise a toast 那我們會開香檳並舉杯慶祝 To all of the queens who are fighting alone 敬所有孤軍奮戰的皇后 Baby, you're not dancing on your own 寶貝，你並非一人獨舞
Can't live without me, you wanna, but you can't, nah-nah-nah 沒我你活不了、你想要、你卻辦不到 Think it's funny, but honey, can't run this show on your own 說來可笑、但親愛的、單憑你一人這戲演不了 I can feel my body shake, there's only so much I can take 我能感受身體的顫抖、我能承受的只有這麼多 I'll show you how a real queen behaves (Oh) 我會讓你知道，一位真正的皇后會怎麼做
No damsel in distress, don't need to save me 不是落難的少女、無須你拯救 (damsel 少女/閨女) Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me 一旦我氣燄高張，你將無法馴服我 And you might think I'm weak without a sword 你可能以為，沒寶劍的我沒有力量 But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours 但如果我有一把，我的劍一定比你的大
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne 如果所有的國王，都讓他們的皇后登上王座 We would pop champagne and raise a toast 那我們會開香檳並舉杯慶祝 To all of the queens who are fighting alone 敬所有孤軍奮戰的皇后 Baby, you're not dancing on your own 寶貝，你並非一人獨舞
Disobey me, then baby, it's off with your head 敢忤逆我、那寶貝呀、這可得斷頭 Gonna change it and make it a world you won't forget (Oh) 將會改造、打造一個你無法遺忘的王國
No damsel in distress, don't need to save me 不是落難的少女、無須你拯救 Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me 一旦我氣燄高張，你將無法馴服我 And you might think I'm weak without a sword 你可能以為，沒寶劍的我沒有力量 But I'm stronger than I ever was before 但現在的我，比以前更加強大
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne 如果所有的國王，都讓他們的皇后登上王座 We would pop champagne and raise a toast 那我們會開香檳並舉杯慶祝 To all of the queens who are fighting alone 敬所有孤軍奮戰的皇后 Baby, you're not dancing on your own 寶貝，你並非一人獨舞
In chess, a king can move one space at a time 在西洋棋中，國王每回合只能走一步 But queens are free to go wherever they like 但皇后卻能移動自如 You get too close, you'll get a royalty high 當你靠得過近，你會感受到權力的召喚 (royalty high 靠近有權勢的人時，會有種自己也變權貴的幻覺 有狐假虎威的意味) So breathe it in to feel alive 那就深吸一口權力，感受自身的存在
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne 如果所有的國王，都讓他們的皇后登上王座 We would pop champagne and raise a toast 那我們會開香檳並舉杯慶祝 To all of the queens who are fighting alone 敬所有孤軍奮戰的皇后 Baby, you're not dancing on your own 寶貝，你並非一人獨舞
文末小記
一念起 國王皇后、國王皇后
會不會有人也像我一樣，會忍不住哼上另一段旋律?
♫ 國王皇后、各過各的生活 ♫
♫ 國王皇后、各有各的tempo ♫
有的話，恭喜你!!
我們是同一個時代的人 (σ′▽‵)′▽‵)σ
❤️ 要不要也聽聽?
