专辑信息

地位及意义

选自《Urban Renewal feat. The Songs of Phil Collins》专辑，由Brandy与其弟弟Ray J共同完成。这张专辑是一张为Phil Collins致敬的专辑，表达对流行大师的尊敬。这首《Another Day in Paradise》是Phil最为出名的一首曲子，其翻唱版本多达数十种，70年代出生的朋友首次的接触流行歌曲中应该就有这首。歌曲象一首叙事诗，通过Phil Collins充满感情的歌声，表达了对弱者的同情和对“天堂”社会里的阴暗面的思考. 柯林斯嗓音浑厚、充满激情，深受歌迷喜爱。这是菲尔·柯林斯1990年的力作之一，荣居排行榜冠军数周，从而奠定了菲尔在西洋流行歌坛“抒情才子”的宝座地位。歌中描写了一个流离失所、无处过夜的女子向过路人求救却遭拒绝的一幕，是一首具有很强现实主义的歌曲。歌中唱到：

你能看到她脸上的皱纹，

你可以想像她在那里已很久，

或许她曾被迫四处漂流，

因为她找不到安身之所.

菲尔说：相比之下，我们就像生活在天堂一样，而帮助这些可怜的人，只是我们应该做，而且也能够做到的事情。

歌词

She calls out to the man on the street，

“Sir, can you help me?

It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep，

Is there somewhere you can tell me?”

He walks on, doesn't look back,

He pretends he can't hear her,

Starts to whistle as he crosses the street,

Seems embarrassed to be there.

Oh, think twice,

It's another day for you and me in paradise.

Oh, think twice,

It's just another day for you,

You and me in paradise,

Just think about it.

She calls out to the man on the street,

He can see she's been crying,

She's got blisters on the soles of her feet,

She can't walk, but she's trying.

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do,

Oh lord, there must be something you can say.

You can tell from the lines on her face,

You can see that she's been there.

Probably been moved on from every place,

Because she didn't fit in there.

Oh, think twice,

It's another day for you and me in paradise.

Oh, think twice,

It's just another day for you,

You and me in paradise,

Just think about it.

歌词大意：她在街上叫他，“先生，你能帮我吗？天气很冷，我没地方睡觉，你能告诉我有什么？“他走了，没有回头，他假装没听见她，开始吹口哨他穿过街道，似乎是有尴尬。哦，想想，这一天因为你和我在天堂里。哦，想想，这只是你的又一天，你和我在天堂，只是想想而已。她在街上叫住了那个男人，他能看到她在哭，她有她的脚底长出了水泡，她不能走路，但她试着。主啊，还有什么人可以做更多，哦上帝，您一定可以说些什么。你能从她脸上的皱纹，你可以想像她在那里。可能被转移，从每一个地方，因为她不适合在那里。哦，想想，这一天因为你和我在天堂里。哦，想想，这只是你的又一天，你和我在天堂，只是想想而已。
