4 Non Blondes--What's up
What's up
歌手:4 Non Blondes
And I say hey
我说 嘿
And I say hey...
我说嘿
what's goin' on
到底是怎么了
And I say hey yeah
我说 嘿
I say hey
我说嘿
what's goin' on
到底是怎么了
And I try, oh my God do I try
于是我尝试 喔天啊 我又尝试了吗
I try all the time in this institution
在这种制度里面 我试了又试
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
而我祈祷 喔神呀我算起到了吗
I pray every single day
我每天每天都祈祷
For a revolution
就为了一次变革
So I cry sometimes when I'm lying in my bed
于是我躺在床上的时候有时候会哭
to get it all out what's in my head
我只是想把脑袋中的那些事物全部弄出来
Then I start feeling a little peculiar
而这让我有点不舒服
So I wake in the morning and I step outside
于是我在早晨醒来然后走出外面
I take a deep breaththen I get real high
我深吸一口气又意志高昂了起来
Then I scream from the top of my lungs
我掏心掏肺的大喊
What's goin' on
到底是怎么了
25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this
Brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
So I cry somethimes when I'm lying in bed
To get it all out what's in my head
Then I start feeling a little peculiar
So I wake in the morning and I step
Outside I take deep breath
I get real high
Then I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
So I cry sometimes when I'm lying in my bed
To get it all out what's in my head
Then I start feeling a little peculiar
So I wake in the morning and I step outside
I take a deep breaththen I get real high
Then I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
怎么了
25年来我的生活依旧
我努力完成我伟大的理想
为了心中的一个目标
当我知道我能时我很快相信
世界是这样的手足情深
无论那意味什么
有时我躺在床上哭泣
想忘掉心中的一切(特权)
然后我开始感觉有一点点特别
清晨醒来我走出去
深深地呼吸一口新鲜空气
真的好舒服
于是我大声喊叫 发自肺腑的深处
到底怎么了
我说嘿...
我说嘿...到底怎么了
我说嘿...
我说嘿...到底怎么了
我努力,上帝啊我真的努力了
我随时都在努力
在这种情况下
我祈祷,上帝啊我真的祈祷了
每天我都在祈祷
为了这次改变

张靓影曾唱了这首歌,但是她的R&B和福音唱腔降低了这首歌的摇滚味道,应该不算成功的演绎。
4 Non Blondes的这首歌是上世纪90年代最出名的摇滚单曲之一,从旧金山传向世界的这个女声忽然唤醒了许多当时的年轻人。只有这首歌最成功,选自他们唯一一张专辑《Bigger Better Faster More》,这支宣扬嬉皮理想的乐队之后便消声匿迹,再无下文。what's up的成功,很大一部分归功于主唱Linda Perry让人不可自拔的高亢嗓音,有其精神偶像JANIS JAPLIN的激昂。
