White Flag -- By Dido

今天偶然的听到了这首歌，觉得好好听的，旋律节奏好舒服，略带一点点的伤感的味道一直听了好多遍。看了一下关于这首歌及歌手的介绍：

[b]Dido[/b]是伦敦Faithless的主唱。父亲是爱尔兰出版商，母亲是法国诗人，哥哥是英国最著名的音乐监制和DJ。6岁开始接受音乐学院的正规教育,95年加入乐队开始词曲创作。98年发行唱片No Angel大卖。2003年底第二张专辑 Life for Rent也是英国排行榜的冠军。其中最广为传唱的两首歌：Thank you 和 White Flag. [separator]Thank You用Dido的原话就是, “甜蜜蜜的情歌融入一种晦暗氛围中”. 相比较而言,我更喜欢另外一首, White Flag.


I know you think that I shouldn't still love you, or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder or return to where we were.

I will go down with this ship. And I won't put my hands up and surrender.
There will be no white flag above my door. I'm in love and always will be.

I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again.
And I caused nothing but trouble. I understand if you can't talk to me again.
And if you live by the rules of "it's over" then I'm sure that that makes sense.

And when we meet, which I'm sure we will.
All that was there, will be there still
I'll let it pass and hold my tongue
And you will think that I've moved on....

这首歌写的是她和已定婚的未婚夫解除婚约的故事.没法翻译成中文，如果非要概括中心思想，那就是：虽然我爱你，会一直爱你，但是我还是不愿意和你结婚，尽管这样我自己也很受伤害．听歌的时候，好sad,但是看了歌背后的故事，却又觉得好无奈．宁愿为了爱沉沦，也不愿意为爱投降举白旗，这到底是什么意思？我觉得还是爱得不够或者说不够爱．或者说别人谁都不够爱，只爱自己最多．以前不理解为什么有的人，爱一个人可以那么没有自我，在别人眼里，或许爱得都没有了自尊，为了爱有人会杀人或者自杀，这样能毫无保留的爱，也许才是真正爱到了极致．可是现实生活中，还是爱自己的人来得多．幸亏是这样．
