Beyoncé - Pretty Hurts

Mama said, "You're a pretty girl
媽媽曾說，「你是個漂亮的女孩。
What's in your head, it doesn't matter
腦袋瓜裡裝著什麼，根本就不重要
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
梳亮你的秀髮，整好你的牙齒
What you wear is all that matters"
你的外在穿著這些才是最重要的」

Just another stage, pageant the pain away
舞台只不過是另一個階段，苦撐著佯裝痛苦不再
This time your're gonna take the crown
是你該摘下冠冕的時候了
Without falling down, down, down
不再允許失敗、退縮、怯場

Pretty hurts
美麗使人疼痛
Shine the light on whatever's worse
讓那些無論什麼惡劣的事物更加醒目
Perfection is a disease of a nation
追求一切盡善盡美是這社會的詬病
Pretty hurts
美麗帶來傷痛
Shine the light on whatever's worse
讓那不管哪種卑劣的事物更要顯眼
Tryin' fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
試圖去彌補什麼卻始終難以復原你看不見的痕跡
It's the soul that needs the surgery
是那內在的靈魂才需要動整型美容手術

Blonder hair, flat chest
淡金髮色、平扁胸部
TV says, "Bigger is better."
電視上說，「愈大才愈好」
South beach, sugar free
南方海灘、無糖節食
Vogue says, "Thinner is better."
時尚聖經表示，「愈纖細愈好」

Just another stage, pageant the pain away
舞台只不過是另一個階段，苦撐著佯裝痛苦不再
This time I'm gonna take the crown
是我該奪下皇冠的時候了
Without falling down, down, down
不再容許失敗、退縮、怯場

Pretty hurts
美麗使人受傷
Shine the light on whatever's worse
讓那些無論什麼糟糕的事物更加醒目
Perfection is a disease of a nation
追求一切完美無瑕是這社會的弊病
Pretty hurts
美麗帶來傷痛
Pretty hurts
美麗令人疼痛
Shine the light on whatever's worse
讓那不管哪種劣質的事物更要顯眼
Tryin' to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
試圖去彌補什麼卻始終無法修復你看不見的痕跡
It's the soul that needs the surgery
是那內在的靈魂才需要動整型美容手術

Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
這等痛苦已無醫可治亦無藥可醫
The pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body
殘留在心底的痛楚無人能與釋放
It's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery
是內在的心靈、是整體的精神才需要動整型美容手術

Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
虛情假意的微笑與意志自我只能使你自己漸行漸遠
And you break when the paper sign leaves you in the dark
當紙上合約領入黑暗中使你崩然潰堤
Shattered mirrors and the shards of a beautiful girl
留下映照美麗女孩殘骸的碎裂銅鏡

Pretty hurts
美麗令人疼痛
Shine the light on whatever's worse
讓那些無論什麼惡劣的事物更加醒目
Perfection is a disease of a nation
追求一切完美無缺是整個社會的詬病
Shine the light on whatever's worse
讓那不管哪種卑劣的事物更要顯眼
Perfection is a disease of a nation
追求一切十全十美是這個社會的弊端
Pretty hurts
美麗惹人生疼

Are you happy with yourself?
你滿意愜心自己最真實的樣貌嗎？
Are you happy with yourself?
你為自己最真實的樣貌而怡然自得嗎？

Pretty hurts
美麗帶來傷痛
