"I Started a Joke"(《我开了个玩笑》)是1968年一个由三兄弟组成的英国乐队Bee Gees发行的歌曲。歌曲一经推出就轻而易举的在多个国家登上排行榜的首位,直到今天仍有歌手不断翻唱,包括张韶涵。各位好,欢迎来到《听歌学英语》,我是Canace。今天为大家播放的"I Started a Joke"是台湾小天后张韶涵翻唱的一首歌,收录在其2009年发行的专辑《第五季》中,这也是张韶涵继"Journey""Over the Rainbow"之后再次演唱纯英文的歌曲。这首歌就像它的名字一样,和世人开了一个玩笑。只因它的歌词充满了太多哲学式的矛盾,文字又太少,给听众留下了太多的空间发挥想象,所以直到40多年后,听众们仍然在喋喋不休的争论着这首歌曲到底蕴含着什么样的深意。歌词的字面意思是三组叫人有些匪夷所思的矛盾:当我开玩笑的时候,世界却哭了;当我哭了的时候,世界却笑了;当我死去的时候,世界却活的更好了。也许这首歌唱的是一种忏悔。对歌词的理解见仁见智,且至今并没有可考的作者本人的解释。不过可以肯定的是,歌词的创作过程充满了传奇色彩。

I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
but I didn't see
That the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
Running my hands
Over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head
For things that I've said
Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
And I looked at the skies
Running my hands
Over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head
For things that I've said
Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
That the joke was on me
