太太不在身边好几个月了，大半夜的实在寂寞的不行，开始单曲循环地听老鹰乐队的Desperado。曲子动听，歌词也写得入木三分，不由得越听越有感触。特别是这两句：“Now it seems to me some fine things, Have been laid upon your table. But you only want the ones that you can't get"。短短两句，把情爱世界和婚姻家庭中男男女女的贪心不足数落得淋漓尽致——都这样了你还不知足？你说你到底还想怎样？！

标题虽然叫赏析，但我却觉得歌词写得不言自明，没太多好啰嗦的。Desperado结合上下文来看，应该是一个感情受挫的年青人。所以我没直译成”亡命之徒“。另外，歌词里queen of diamonds （钻石/方片Q）和queen of hearts（红心/红桃Q）有些象征意义。我觉得，前者象征的是一个各方面条件优越的”万人迷“类型的女人，也是Desperado一直追求的对象；后者象征的是一个全心全意爱着Desperado的女人。

不知道怎么发视频，只能把歌词贴出来，然后自己翻译了下，与诸位共勉。

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses 为情所困的人啊，你为何执迷不悟？
You've been out ridin' fences for so long now 摇摆不定中，
 for so long now 你已彷徨太久。
Ohh you're a hard one 你如此固执己见，
I know that you've got your reasons 我明白事出有因。
These things that are pleasin' you 刻意取悦于你的林林总总，
Can hurt you somehow 反倒令你心伤。
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy 千万别拿到钻石皇后，我的朋友。
She'll beat you if she's able 她总会让你的牌局一败涂地。
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet 你知道红心皇后才是制胜法宝。
Now it seems to me some fine things 在我看来，你明明已经好牌满手。
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get 但你却偏要贪心不足。
Desperado oh you ain't gettin' no youger 为情所困的人啊，你已不再青春年少。
Your pain and your hunger they're drivin' you home 苦痛和饥饿正驱使你寻求庇护之所。
And freedom oh freedom well that's just some people talkin' 自由自在，那不过别人的心之所向。
Your prison is walking through this world all alone 心无所依的孤独终老，那是你的牢笼。
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time 难道你不曾感受严冬的寒冷？
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine 彤云密布却不见飘雪的天空，
It's hard to tell the night time from the day 让人晨昏不分。
You're loosin' all your highs and lows 你已一无所有，麻木不仁。
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away 。可笑的是你尚不自觉。
Desperado why don't you come to your senses 为情所困的人啊， 你为何执迷不悟？
Come down from your fences open the gate 醒醒吧，别再摇摆不定。
It may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you 也许雨还没停，但天边已有一道彩虹。
You better let somebody love you somebody love you before it's too late 接受那个爱你的人吧，趁一切尚能挽回。
