[번역] Oasis - Songbird



어제 송버드와 이야기했어

멀지 않은 장소로 나를 보냈지

그는 내 마음속의 작은 파일럿이야

사랑 노래를 부르며 시간을 보내

Talking to the songbird yesterday

Flew me to a place not far away

She's a little pilot in my mind

Singing songs of love to pass the time


그가 볼 수 있게 노래를 쓸 거야

그가 내게 주는 모든 사랑을 줄 거야

아직 오지 않은 좋은 나날을 이야기할 거야

이런 사랑은 그 누구에게도 느껴보지 못했어

Gonna write a song so she can see

Give her all the love she gives to me

Talk of better days that have yet to come

Never felt this love from anyone


그는 특별해

그는 특별해

그는 특별해

She's not anyone

She's not anyone

She's not anyone


사람은 결코 이런 걸 꿈꿀 수 없지

특히나 그가 날개를 펼치며 다가왔을 때

내 귀에 내가 좋아하는 것들을 속삭이고는

밤하늘 위로 날아가 버렸어

A man can never dream these kind of things

Especially when she came and spread her wings

Whispered in my ear the things I'd like

Then she flew away into the night


그가 볼 수 있게 노래를 쓸 거야

그가 내게 주는 모든 사랑을 줄 거야

아직 오지 않은 좋은 나날을 이야기할 거야

이런 사랑은 그 누구에게도 느껴보지 못했어

Gonna write a song so she can see

Give her all the love she gives to me

Talk of better days that have yet to come

Never felt this love from anyone


그는 특별해

그는 특별해

그는 특별해

She's not anyone

She's not anyone

She's not anyone

Interview

Did it come easy?

"Born On A Different Cloud' came well easy. I just did that at the piano. I had three different parts and these guys helped me put it together. It's pretty spacey. It goes into a chant. It's a Manc odyssey. 'Songbird' came easy too. I just came into the studio playing it on two strings."


Andy intervenes. He's aware that Liam's interpretation of the word 'easy' isn't the average one.

"Basically, how it works is this. He comes into the studio and strums an acoustic guitar every day for six months, and he'll be singing without any words, just going 'la la la'over and over again. Then eventually the words start to come and he's got a line or two. And then, after about a year, he's got the song."

Liam: "I'm fookin' slow, man. I'll be a solo artist by the time I'm 901"


Having been afforded a sneak preview of 'Songbird' in the offices of the Big Brother label prior to our meeting, it's a pleasure to report that it's a gem, an acoustic love song laced with a barbed wire melody built for hearing on summer lawns at midnight. For the cynics who criticised Liam's solo songwriting debut 'Little James' for its 'Plasticine/tambourine' rhymes and neglected to notice its sucker-punchline "We weren't meant to be grown ups", it's payback time - not so much one in the eye as a fully-fledged shiner. People are gonna be surprised.

"I like beautiful things," says Liam. "It's not all dark in Liam World. I take me shades off every now and again and have a look at the world and see some nice things."

Andy: "That's what I like about Oasis at the moment. For me, even looking at it still as a fan, they're back to being what they're best at, being uplifting..."
