Kremlin Dust
by Utada
All along I was searching for my Lenore
In the words of Mr. Edgar Allan Poe
Now I'm sober and nevermore
Will the raven come to bother me at home
Calling you
Calling you homeBy the door you said you had to go
Couldn't help me any anymore
This I saw coming long before
So I kept on staring out the window
Calling you,
Calling you home
I am a natural entertainer
Aren't we all holding pieces of dying ember?
I'm just trying to remember who I can call,
Who can I call?
I brought a secret propaganda
Aren't we all hiding pieces of broken ember?
I'm just trying to remember who I can call,
Who can I call?
Born in a world of opposite attraction
Is it or is it a natural deflection?
Torn by the arms in opposite directions
And is it or is it a modern mis- reaction?
Is it like this?
Is it always the same?
When a heartache begins,
Is it like this?
Do you like this?
Is it always the same?
Will you come back again?
Do you like this?
Is it always the same?
And will you come back again?
Do you like this?
Oh, do you like this?
Is it like this?
Is it always the same?
If he changes my number,
Will you tell me?
Is it like this?
Is it always the same?
When a heartache begins,
Is it like this?
If you like this,
Will you remember my name?
Will you come play it again,
If you like this?
Oh, do you like this?

小光的【Kremlin
Dust】算是她英文專輯【EXODUS】中最為長期歌迷們所津津樂道的一首,很多人都說在這張專輯中最喜歡這首歌,是因為比較像唱日文歌的小光嗎?
雖然她聲音的天分比起創作的天分而言實在有一段落差(委婉說法),要出英文專輯怎麼比得過那些動不動就做很超過表演的黑或半黑女人(我絕對不是指在Oscar典禮上的Beyoncé),有點勉強。
然而在這首歌裡,那有點過於尖細的不完美高音,卻勉強地顫抖著恰到好處,有種搖搖欲墜的緊張感,講到搖搖欲墜,正好又有篇現成的【The
Pit and the Pendulum(陷阱與鐘擺)】!
歌詞中大量用典,我不確定我是不是都抓出來了,人家看的都是翻譯小說的部分嘛!
