Red Hot Chili Peppers - Whatchu Thinkin'

這首歌是為美洲原住民(印地安人)發聲的歌曲，
其實在美國依舊有不少對原住民不公的待遇，
聽說部分地區還會特別立法排擠。
直到現在人們還在試圖抹去當年殖民者
對於原住民的屠殺與迫害行為，
畢竟主唱Anthony Kiedis有1/4的印地安人血統，
從出道以來對於這部分都不定期為原住民發聲。

[Verse 1]

I got no reason to believe
我毫無理由去相信

Just a theory that we do appease

只是我們的安撫需要一個藉口

I don't know what you want from me

我不知道你要從我這要什答案

Where you go to get your ecstasy

何處才是你快樂的泉源

Start tapping rhythm from the source

演奏總要有個開端

Maybe I could be your Crazy Horse

或許我可成為你的瘋馬

(這是一個樂團的名稱，因為長久穩定，
因此也有信任感的意思)

 

[Pre-Chorus]

We only wanted to be

我們只想

We only wanted to be sure

我們只想去確認

What is it for?

這都是為了什麼

Come get me

好好了解我

We only wanted to be

我們只是想了解原因

We only wanted to be

我們只是想了解原因

 

[Chorus]

What you thinkin’?

你怎麼想呢？

Got more than enough for you, yeah

對你而言這遊刃有餘

Over and over and over again, well
一遍又一遍又一遍

Over and over until it sends

直到被大眾知道

What you thinkin'?

你怎麼想呢？

White buffalo be drinkin' dirty

神聖的水牛都不純潔了

Over and over and over again, well

一遍又一遍又一遍

Over and over with all my friends

我所有的朋友都這樣

 

[Verse 2]

I think the two of us should go

我想我們只有兩條路可走

For a drive like maybe Idaho
或許像Idaho州的騎士狂飆

Road trip circuits just around the bend

公路旅行就是要享受髮夾彎的快感

I could be your beneficial friend

我可以成為你的最佳損友

Call me every name in the book

在書中我的每種稱謂叫做

Punk-ass fascist and a dirty crook

龐克狗屁法西斯與齷齪騙子

 

[Pre-Chorus]

 

 

[Chorus]

 

[Bridge]

I got these things in mind, you know

你知道嗎，我腦袋浮出一些事

South Dakota, show the buffalo

去南達科他州表演給水牛看
(這是一個當地的節慶)

In the Black Hills you could find it all

你可以在Black Hills找到答案

Blood runs thick like from a waterfall

熱血翻攪如同瀑布般激昂

This broken native entity

這破碎的本尊

Dreaming clean-up on the century

在本世紀幻想著清除過往的罪孽

This horse is crazy not to be

瘋馬紀念碑都還沒完工

This horse is crazy

這馬都瘋了

 

[Chorus]

What you thinkin'?

你怎麼想呢？

Got more than enough for you, well

對你而言這遊刃有餘

Over and over and over again, yeah

一遍又一遍又一遍

Over and over until it sends

直到被大眾知道

What you thinkin'?

你怎麼想呢？

White buffalo be drinkin' dirty

神聖的水牛都不純潔了

Over and over and over again now

一遍又一遍又一遍

Over and over with all my friends

我所有的朋友都這樣
