Luka




這首歌寫的是一位被家暴的小孩心聲。
我懷疑Suzanne Vega其實懂得馬來文,因為她為這被打的小孩取名為Luka。
(注:馬來文luka是受傷的意思)


詞曲:Suzanne Vega

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown

Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you

Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

  1. 我很喜欢这首歌哦,尤其是olivia ong唱的版本!不过从来不曾像你般联想过luka的马来文,跟歌曲的意义原来那么配。
    作词人就是作词人啊~ :D

  2. 同感!我也是比較喜歡Olivia版本,她的聲音比原唱好聽,而且新版編曲也比較好聽。

    我是瞎掰而已,表醬講啦。
