Suzanne Vega / 'Retrospective Best Of' 中 6곡

花受紛-동아줄 2007. 10. 18. 21:31

차분하고 지적인 포크 싱어 송라이터, Suzanne Vega 1960년 7월 11일 캘리포니아 산타 모니카(Santa Monica)에서 출생한 수잔 베가(Suzanne Vega)는 2살에 뉴욕(New York City)으로 이사해 그곳에서 자랐다. 고교 시절 연극, 연기, 음악 교육을 받아 재능을 양성했고, 바나드 대학(Barnard College)에 진학, 학업과 병행해 예술가들이 많이 사는그리니치 빌리지(Greenwich Village)의포크(folk) 클럽에서 영역을 넓혀갔고 송라이터들을 주로 다루는 잡지 <쿱(The CooP)>를 통해 수 차례 소개되어 주목받게 되었다.

1984년 A&M과 계약한 그녀는 이듬 해 데뷔 앨범 [Suzanne Vega]를 발표, 평론가들에게 극찬을 받으며 성공으로 데뷔,1987년 발표된 2집 앨범 [Solitude Standing]은 그녀를 전 세계적으로 알린 대 히트 곡 'Luka'를 담고 있었다. 아동 학대를 다룬 이 곡은 그 가사에 있어서도 큰 화제를 낳았고, 골드 디스크로 인증받는다. 창작 활동에만 전념하던 그녀는 그로부터 3년 후인 1990년 3집 앨범 [Days Of Open Hand]를 발표했지만 지나치게 음악성에만 치중한 나머지 대중적으로는 큰 반응을 얻어내기 힘든 정도였다.

하지만 몇 달 뒤 영국 출신의 클럽 DJ들인 D.N.A.가 그녀의 전작 앨범에 수록되어 있던 아 카펠라 곡 'Tom's Diner'를 편곡해 히트시키면서 그녀는 새삼 주목받게 되었다. 1992년의 [99.9?F] 앨범은 그녀가 클럽 테크노 비트에 큰 관심을 가지게 되었음을 미뤄 짐작케 하는 획기적인 변신과 실험 정신에 투철한 작품집이었다. 1996년 5집 앨범 [Nine Objects Of Desire]가 발매되었고 그 후로 베스트 앨범 및 라이브 앨범이 더러 출시되었다. 평소 대중적 히트나 명성에는 별 연연하지 않는 모습이고 앨범 작업도 천천히 그리고 충실하게 진행하는 편이지만 지금도 그녀는 어디에선가 작업 중일 것이다. - 오이뮤직 -

It won't do
To dream of caramel,
To think of cinnamon
And long for you.
It won't do
To stir a deep desire,
To fan a hidden fire
That can never burn true.

I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
These things begin;
But I don't know
How I would live with myself,
What I'd forgive of myself
If you don't go.

So goodbye,
Sweet appetite
No single bite
could satisfy...
I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
These things begin;

But I don't know
How I would live with myself,
What I'd forgive of myself
If you don't go.
It won't do
To dream of caramel,
To think of cinnamon
And long for you.

소용없어요
카라멜 꿈을 꾸는 것도,
계피를 생각하는 것도,
그리고 그대를 그리워하는 것도.
소용없어요
깊은 욕망을 젓는 것도,
숨겨진 불꽃에 부채질을 하는 것도,
절대 진실하게 타오를 순 없어요.

당신의 이름을 알아요
당신의 살결을 알아요
이런 것들이 어떻게 시작되는지
난 알아요
하지만 난 몰라요
만일 당신이 가지 않는다면
내 자신 어떻게 살아가게 될지
내 자신 어떻게 살아가게 될지

그러니 잘가요
달콤한 입맛이여
단 한 입으로
만족하지 못하겟죠
당신의 이름을 알아요
당신의 살결을 알아요
이런 것들이 어떻게 시작되는지
난 알아요

하지만 난 몰라요
당신이 가지 않는다면
내 자신 무엇을 주게 될지
내 자신 어떻게 살아가게 될지
소용없어요
카라멜 꿈을 꾸는 것도,
계피를 생각하는 것도,
그리고 그대를 그리워하는 것도..

i'll never be your Maggie May
the one you loved and left behind
the face you see in light of day
and then you cast away
that isn't me in that bed you'll find

I'd rather take myself away
be like those ladies in Japan
rather paint myself a face
conjure up some grace
or be the eyes behind a fan

And so you go
no girl could say no to you

there's the way we may appear
but that will change from day to night
would you ever see within?
underneath the skin?
could I believe you had that sight?

*instrumental*

And so you go
no girl could say no to you
I'll never be your Maggie May
the one you loved and then forgot
I'll love you first and let you go
because it must be so
and you'll forgive or you will not

and so a woman leaves a man
and so a world turns on it's end
so I'll see your face in dreams
where nothing's what it seems
you still appear some kind of friend

And so you go
no girl could say no to you

You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design

Oh, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat

You are the jester of this courtyard
With a smile like a girl's
Distracted by the women
With the dimples and the curls
By the pretty and the mischievous
By the timid and the blessed
By the blowing skirts of ladies
Who promise to gather you to their breast

Oh, hold me like a baby...

You have hands of raining water
And that earring in your ear
The wisdom on your face
Denies the number of your years
With the fingers of the potter
And the laughing tale of the fool
The arranger of disorder
With your strange and simple rules
Yes now I've met me another spinner
Of strange and gauzy threads
With a long and slender body
And a bump upon the head

Oh, hold me like a baby...

With a long and slender body
And the sweetest softest hands
And we'll blow away forever soon
And go on to different lands
And please do not ever look for me
But with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song
Blowing by one day

Oh, hold me like a baby

Once I stood alone so proud
held myself above the croud
now I am low on the ground
From here I look around to see
what avenues belong to me
I can't tell what I've found.

Now what would You have me do
I ask you please?
I wait to here.

The mother, and the matador,
the mystic,all were here before,
like meto stare you down.

You appear without a face,
disappear,but leave yourface,
I feel your unseen frown.

Now what would you have me do,
I ask you please?
I wait to hear your voice,
the world, you say.
I wait to see your sign
would I obey?

I look for you in healthered moor,
the desert, and the ocean floor
how low does one heart go.

Looking for your fingerprints
I find them in coincidence,
and make my faith to grow.
Forgive me all my blindnesses
my weakness and unkindnesss
as yet unbending still.
Struggling so hard to see
my fist against eternity
and break my will?

Now what would you have me do
I ask you please?
I wait hear your voice,
the world you say
I wait to see your sign
could I obey?

Do you rember how you walkled with me
down the street into the square?
How the women selling rosemary
pressed luck and the rest,
and put their fingers in your hair?

I had met you just the day before,
like an accident of fate,
in the window there behind you door.
How I wanted to break in
to the room beneath your skin,
but all that would have to wait.

In the carmen df the Martyrs,
with the statues in the courtyard
whose heads and hands were taken,
in the burden of the sun;
I had come to meet you
with a question in my footsteps.
I was going up the hillside
and the journey just begun.

My sister says she never dreams at night
there are days when I know why;
those possibilities withen her sight,
with no way of coming true.
Some things just don't get through
into this world, although they try.

All I know of you
is in my memory
All I ask is you
Rember me

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble.
some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken,
nothing thrown

Just don't ask me how I am

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble.
some kind of fight

Just don't ask me what it was

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymo

내 이름은 루카예요 2층에 살구요
당신 바로 윗층 말이에요
그래요, 내 생각엔 당신이
전에 절 본 것으로 아는데

만약 밤늦게 무슨 소리가 나면
뭔가 문제가 있구나,
싸움을 하는구나! 라고 생각하세요
무엇 때문인지는 묻지 마시구요

내가 아마도 유별라서 그런가 봐요
크게 소리치지 않으려고 노력은 하는데
아마도 내가 좀 문제가 있는가 봐요
난 너무 뽐내려고 하지도 않으려 하거든요
부모들은 울 때 가지 때리니
그래도 이유는 묻지 마세요
더 이상 싸우지 않는군요

예, 난 괜찮아요
다시 문으로 걸어 들어갔어요
음. 만약 내가 무엇을 말할 건지 물어본다면
어쨌든 그건 당신과 상관없는 일이에요
아마 내가 혼자 있고싶어서겠죠
아무것도 안 부시고
아무것도 안 집어던지고..

내가 어떤 사람인지 물어보지는 마세요

내 이름은 루카예요.2층에 살구요
당신 바로 윗층 말이에요
그래요, 내 생각엔 당신이
전에 절 본 것으로 아는데
만약 밤늦게 무슨 소리가 나면
뭔가 문제가 있구나,
싸움을 하는구나! 라고 생각하세요

내가 어떤 사람인지 물어보지는 마세요

부모들은 울 때 가지 때리니
그래도 이유는 묻지 마세요
더 이상 싸우지 않는군요
