Powerless ( say what you want )
Nelly Furtado
Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
And say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might
Cause this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
So say what you want
Say what you want
I saw her face outside today
Weather worn, looking all the rage
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
Now its moccasins we sport
We take the culture and contort
Perhaps only to distort
What we are hiding
Cause this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
So say what you want
Say what you want
Hey you, the one the one outside, how you gonna get in, get in
Hey you, the one that don’t fit in, how you ever gonna get in
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in ??
With the Broken teeth, broken jaw1, broken jaw, broken mojo ?
Life is too short to live it just for you
You feel powerless, what are you gonna do

无力感(畅所欲言)
妮莉费塔朵
你们的杂志有刊登我的容颜
却把我的肤色画的稍白些
把我画成你们梦想中的人物
抹掉我原始的民族特色
抹掉烧毁我心中任何丝毫想反抗的念头
也说出我深藏内心的话
只要不会侵犯你们的权威
主要因为人生太苦短，怎能只为你们而活
然而力不从心时，该如何取舍呢
那就开怀畅所欲言吧
就是畅所欲言了
我今日在外头看见她那张脸庞
满脸颓废的面容，却是现今最流行的模样
他们拍下她热情如火的眼神做成海报
而现今我们也穿著鸡皮鞋来炫耀
我们夺取他们的文化来塑造自己想要的样子
也许到头来
我们只是在隐藏自己缺乏的那份认同感
主要因为人生太苦短，怎能只为你们而活
然而力不从心时，该如何取舍呢
那就开怀畅所欲言吧
就是畅所欲言了
嘿！你这个局外人，你计画如何打入主流呢？
喂！你一直格格不入，到底要如何进入主流哩
嘿！你局外人，你真能融入主流之中吗？
带着残缺不堪的牙齿和被动摇的自信心
人生苦短岂只能只为你而活
正当你力不从心时，该何去何从呢？
