Y.M.C.A.歌詞

The Village People
Y.M.C.A.
楊坤戰隊四強表演Young Man 楊坤戰隊四強表演Young Man
Young man, there’s no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, cause you’re in a new town.
Theres no need to be unhappy.
Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find.
Many ways to have a good time.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel.
Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!
No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the Y-M-C-A.
I'm sure they can help you today.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...
Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight ...
That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the Y-M-C-A.
They can start you back on your way.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys.

Y.M.C.A.歌曲解釋

YMCA本來是指The Young Men's Christian Association(基督教青年會)。“The Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), founded in London in 1844 and brought to the United States in 1851, began as an effort to protect vulnerable men from the dangers of the city. By the early twentieth century, YMCAs had become popular havens for men who sought sex with other men.”(該組織1844年在倫敦成立,1851年引進至美國,原本旨在保護城市中弱勢年輕男性。但是,從20世紀早期開始,YMCA變成了男同性戀者尋歡作樂的集中地。)
於是這首同名歌一發行就成為了男同性戀社區的代表曲,受到男同性戀者的追捧。
2007年,The Village People樂隊的主唱和成立者Victor Willis在接受採訪時表示 :“the lyrics in Y.M.C.A. were not meant to be innuendo about gay cruising but about hanging out with your straight buddies.”(Y.M.C.A.的歌詞不是暗指同性戀間的尋歡作樂,而是指直男之間的普通玩樂。)
