Angel
作詞:陶吉吉/娃娃 作曲:陶吉吉
鏡子中
看見一張陌生的臉 那眼神如此黯淡
In the mirror,
I see a strange face,
With a pair of gloomy eyes.
笑一笑
只牽動苦澀的嘴角 我的寂寞誰知道
Make a smile,
Only to find the mouth curving up with bitterness.
Who can enter the lonely part of my heart?
像條船在海上飄 北斗星也看不到
誰能夠揚起了帆 遠遠離開這黑潮
Like a ship, I am floating on the surface of the ocean,
Even the Big Dipper stays out of my vision.
Who can help me set the sail,
To escape from this rushing current,
And get me out of this deep dark hell?
Angel Angel 盼望你在我身邊
Angel Angel 請你緊緊抓住我的手
Angel Angel, I hope you can stand by my side.
Angel Angel, could you just hold my hands tight?
有時候
我想不會有人瞭解 心裡面藏著的痛
From time to time,
I think no one could understand the pain hidden in my mind.
我害怕
用真心面對這世界 只好越來越沉默
I am so scared
That my true self might lay bare to the world,
So I choose to be quiet.
一個人在人海飄 說話的人找不到
誰給我溫柔擁抱 當我感覺心快要碎了
Alone, I am drifting through the ocean of people,
When I need to talk, there is not a willing ear.
Who could give me a tender hug,
For my heart is about to break?
Angel Angel 盼望你在我身邊
Angel Angel 是否 聽見我在呼喚你
Angel Angel, I hope you can stand by my side.
Angel Angel, could you hear my praying sighs?
能不能
告訴孤單疲憊的我 你永遠為我守候
I am so tired and lonely,
So could you promise me,
That you will never leave me an inch,
That you will accompany me for all eternity?
Angel Angel 請你留在我身邊
Angel Angel 請你不要放開我的手
Angel Angel, could you please stay by my side forever?
Angle Angel, hold me tight, and never loosen your fingers.

在長長的人生中,有時候的確會盼望著天使的出現,或許是愛情世界的那個人,又或許是天上慈愛的神。
但我更相信,天使是住在我們的身體裡。
每次聽陶吉吉的這首「Angel」,總讓我想起瑪麗亞凱莉的「Hero」,記得開頭的歌詞是這樣的(附註):
There's a hero if you look inside your heart.
You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
這裡的「英雄」,很接近我想表達的「天使」,兩者可同視一般。
因此我覺得,有一位天使早就住在我們身體裡,註定要陪著我們長大,只是隨著我們越長越大,世事懂得越來越多,漸漸就忘記了祂的存在,一點一滴失去最原始單純的靈性。
湧泉般的出口,被凡間俗塵給堵塞住,我們忘記了身體裡一直有著一股最強大的力量,閃耀過天上的太陽,潔白過雲端的月亮,廣闊過無邊的大地,洶湧過奔濤的海洋。
靜下來聆聽自己的心跳,那其實是天使的聲音,閉上眼睛,才能看到祂的樣子,一切的勇氣與信心並非外鑠,而是內發的。
那原本就已經存在了,只是我們看不清,或是忙到忘記了。
低頭禱告讓我們得到安慰,聖經寫著智慧的字句,予人喜樂,讓人思考而有所得。
廟宇裡神案前,那白色的香煙裊裊升起,飄散出一股的神聖氛圍,守護著廣大信徒那顆最虔誠的心。
上帝與神明,指出了明亮的道路讓我們勇敢踏上去,但我更相信在祈禱與燃香的那刻,其實是在聽心裡的聲音,是在與自己對話。
與其說在與天主對話、對菩薩祈求,不如說是在與心裡的天使交換著悄悄話,在與自我的力量交流,在與自己的靈魂共鳴。
讀聖經,其實也在讀自己的心,去廟宇拜拜,其實是拜訪了心裡的那座神廟,經典與佛像是死的,十字架與念珠是死的,只有自己的心才是活的。
當你願意相信,那些東西才會生出力量,是自己的信念決定了一切的作為,和將要踏上的人生路途。
天使就住在自己身體的國度裡,每天早晨張開的眉眼上,有白色的小翅膀輕拍,祂飛翔在我們每個呼吸吐息之間。
坐在肩膀上陪我們看這世界,棲睡在微笑嘴角的勾弧上,為夜裡夢境注入神秘的香甜。
相信,就能看到。

附註:瑪麗亞凱莉「Hero」歌詞
Hero Mariah Carey
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
And then a hero comes alone
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love if you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear
Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone tear them away
Hold on, there will be tomorrow
In time, you'll find the way
