《Spotlight》是哥伦比亚歌手Shakira的一首歌曲,它探讨了名人恋情中面临的压力与挑战。通过这首歌,Shakira表达了即使面对外界的批评和媒体的关注,她也愿意为了真爱而坚持下去的态度。
“Boy meets a girl, hid behind a wall, piling up the bricks, hoping they would fall.” 这里描述了一段隐藏着的感情,两个人之间的关系被比作一堵墙,彼此都在等待时机让这堵墙倒塌,象征着克服障碍后的关系发展。
“Girl meets a boy, surrenders to his charms, leaves her old boyfriend, and crumbles in his arms.” 当女孩遇到男孩时,被他的魅力所吸引,并决定离开前任投入到新恋情中。“crumbles in his arms”形象地描绘出她在新的关系中找到了安慰和支持。
“And if they wanna make me pay now then go on, cause loving you was never wrong.” 即便外界想要让她为这段感情付出代价,她也无所畏惧,因为她相信爱是没有错的。
“Here is my life in the spotlight...and it's hurting my eyes, cause it's so bright so bright.” 作为公众人物的生活就像是在聚光灯下,这种关注有时会让人感到不适甚至痛苦。
“But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find, and I wouldn't give you up even if I end up blind.” 尽管面临种种困难,但她认为对方正是自己一直在寻找的那个对的人,即使最终因此失去一切(比如这里的比喻性失明),也不会放弃这份爱情。
“Lazy for a while, laying golden eggs, some just want your money or whatever they can take.” 在这里提到了有些人可能只是看中了她的财富或者其他物质利益,而不是真正的关心她本人。
“But hearing your name, don't need anyone else, you're here because you want me and not for what I make.” 强调了对方是因为真心喜欢她这个人而来,而非出于其他目的。
“Every camera flash my way, every word of every page, well they can say whatever they want to, cause what we got is just so real that they can't change the way I feel.” 不论媒体如何报道或评论,他们的感情都是真实存在的,外界的声音无法改变她的感受。
“Cause I would do it all again for you.” 最后一句表明,即便知道将要面对所有这些挑战,她仍然愿意再次选择这条道路,只为能与心爱之人在一起。
