English：“流行金曲”大家評（二）
我聽之我見：Nick Cave 的歌曲往往以表現焦躁不安甚至暴力的情緒著稱，可是這首 Into my
arms
卻是娓娓道來，出奇地溫柔，不過或許狂躁過后的溫柔，滄桑背后的真摯，鮮明對比之下的沖擊才更能打動人。詩一般的歌詞，悠揚的旋律，低沉有力的聲音——這種奇妙的組合會穿過骨頭撫摸到我們最柔軟的神經。歌詞構成的三個部分層層深入，縱然是……
 Lyrics
 Into my
arms by
Nick Cave
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that
you do
But if I did I would kneel
down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Oh,
not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
If He felt He had
to direct you
And direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into
my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder
if that's true
But if I did I would
summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
Well, to each burn a candle for
you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace
and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
 Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
But I believe in love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some
kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So would keep your
candles burning
Make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep
returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into
my arms

中文歌詞
到我懷里來
尼克·凱夫
我不相信有一個干涉主義的上帝，
但我知道，親愛的，你相信。
但如果相信，我就會跪下，然后請求他，
別干涉你的一切，
別觸摸你的頭發，
就讓你保持原來的樣子。
如果他覺得他必須要引領你，
就讓他把你帶到我懷里來吧。
到我懷里來，噢,上帝!
到我懷里來，噢,上帝!
到我懷里來，噢,上帝!
到我懷里來。
