其實我覺得Eminem也蠻可憐的,他從小就住在黑人區跟白人區的交界,
單親媽媽扶養長大,國中也沒畢業。
而饒舌就是黑人的音樂,所以對他來說,地下擂台一堆觀眾看著他一個白人在上面。
Eminem吃過苦(所以超兇),不像有些歌手自己唱那些有的沒的。

我翻譯這首歌時,看到這人解釋得還不錯:
http://justrandomthings.com/2016/09/16/eminem-lose-yourself-lyrics-review-song-meaning/

he nose dove and sold nada 請問這裡面的nada是甚麼意思?
"he nose dove and sold nada"要當成一句來看,意思是"放鴿子" "Nada"是西班牙文,意思是"Nothing" 希望有幫助到你:")
不好意思~~打擾了 我在youtube有使用您的翻譯來上字幕,製作影片 但經人提醒,發現自己還未向你告知使用您的翻譯 這是我使用你的翻譯製作的影片,如有侵權請留言告知,謝謝您🙏🙏 https://youtu.be/5N6vtf1YLNA
Got it!Thanks for informing me. Good day, Maggie
Globetrotter可以指環遊世界的人但也可以分成Globe跟Trotter Globe指全球的 Trotter則可以當作一個有權有勢而且能力高超的人(通常指運動員 而運動員總時有種玩咖男人的形象)比較容易吸引女性 而前面有提到These hoes is all on him所以翻成世界玩咖可能比較適合 And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer這段翻成 "人生不是電影 不會總是有人幫助" 比較好 Mekhi Phifer在電影裡飾演Rabbit的好朋友 Trying to feed and water my seed 這裡指的應該是養小孩 而不是訓練說唱
Hi,there! First of all,thank you for advising another idea on lyrics translation.It's great that everyone has their own thoughts and appreciation in music.That's how art inspires people and even cultures. About the "Globetrotter" part,I searched another interpretation on Genius lyrics and found it quite make sense. so there you go:"Eminem describes himself as a “Rambling Man” who will never settle down. He trots the globe, like the basketball team the Harlem Globetrotters."So I will have to,unfortunately,insist on my original translation. And the second one,luckily,Eminem explains it himself (also on Genius lyrics.com). so here you go ,Bon appetite !:"Putting the name of the actor right there in the lead single was just about the rhymes. I had started with this syllable scheme — “somebody’s paying the pied piper” and “Mekhi Phifer” ended up fitting. That was all it was." You can also find the third answer of your question:) Good day Maggie.
Hi there, great translation you got there. But there are some flaws in few of them, like the one mentioned above, "Trying to feed and water my seed" it's clearly about Eminem's child or children, which is also said in the site, Genius lyrics, where you take reference for you translations. And there's a minor problem, the line "and it's no movie" got another version I guess? It's "and there's no movie" and that fits your translation more, so you might want to change to that. Since there's no official lyrics for Lose Yourself, translation through different translator may differ. Not a big deal though.
Hi! Thanks for your compliment:) Well um,first of all,since Eminem didn't interpret the line "Trying to feed and water my seed" officially.There are a few explications by other people on the Genius.lyrics. And I choose the one who said: Since Eminem seems to be rapping in character as Rabbit, who is not seen to have any children in the film, he could be referring to his talent on the mic as his “seed,” a talent which he needs to nurture so it can bloom. But of course,you can refer to the lyrics as his daughter. As I said,lyrics are as beautiful as poems sometimes. We may have our own imagination runs wild. Secondly, for the line "and it's no movie",I agree with what you said,there are many versions of this song.I think the meaning doesn't change much.So I'll just leave it that way. Anyway,thank you and have a good good day! Maggie
