《Beat It》,是美国著名已故流行音乐人,被誉为“流行音乐之王”的迈克尔·杰克逊(MichaelJackson)作词、作曲并演唱,后经时任美国总统的里根的建议,将这首歌用在一个劝导禁止酒驾的公益广告中。杰克逊本人也因此被里根总统邀其至白宫,亲自为其颁发了“世界杰出青年奖”以及“特别贡献奖”。同时杰克逊也凭借《BeatIt》这首歌获得了第26届格莱美最佳摇滚男歌手。《Beat It》也被《滚石》评为“史上最伟大的100首流行歌曲”之一。
这首歌曾经被许多国家歌手翻唱,好像邓丽君也有尝试过。现在听到的女声版,唱者似乎并不太出名,所以没有什么相关的资料可查。但这丝毫不影响我对它的喜爱,节奏舒缓,带着一点点蓝调味道,很适合作为咖啡厅的背景音乐。
歌词
【Beat It 避开】
They Told Him 他们告诉他:
Don't You Ever Come Around Here “你胆敢再来?
Don't Wanna See Your Face, 不想再见你,
You Better Disappear 你最好消失!
The Fire's In Their Eyes 怒火在他们眼中升腾
And Their Words Are Really Clear 话语也说得格外明白
So Beat It, Just Beat It 那么就避开吧,避开
You Better Run, 你最好快跑
You Better Do What You Can 最好尽你所能
Don't Wanna See No Blood, 不想看不到流血
Don't Be A Macho Man 别做逞能硬汉
You Wanna Be Tough, 你想要强硬
Better Do What You Can 最好尽你所能
So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad 那么就走开吧,但你却偏要逞强
Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It 避开吧,避开
No One Wants To Be Defeated 没人想被击败
Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fight 所以都来发狠耍狂
It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right 其实对错并不重要
Just Beat It, Beat It & 就避开吧,避开
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It
They're Out To Get You, 他们赶来抓你
Better Leave While You Can 你就赶快离开
Don't Wanna Be A Boy, 不想乳臭未干
You Wanna Be A Man 你想成为男子汉
You Wanna Stay Alive, 但如果你想活命
Better Do What You Can 就尽你所能
So Beat It, Just Beat It 避开吧,避开
You Have To Show Them 你本是要告诉他们
That You're Really Not Scared 你毫不畏惧
You're Playin' With Your Life, 但却是在把生命当儿戏
This Ain't No Truth Or Dare 其实无所谓真理与胆量
They'll Kick You, Then They Beat You, 他们踢翻你,打倒你
Then hey'll Tell You It's Fair 然后告诉你这就是公义
So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad 那么就避开吧,但你却偏要逞强
Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It 避开吧,避开
No One Wants To Be Defeated 没人想要认输
Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fight 所以都来发狠耍狂
It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right 其实对错并不重要
Just Beat It, Beat It 就避开吧,避开
Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It 避开吧,避开
No One Wants To Be Defeated 没人想要认输
Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fight 所以都来发狠耍狂
It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right 其实对错并不重要
Just Beat It, Beat It 就避开吧,避开
