兄弟，我来问问你
PRAS: Brother, let me ask you something.
当你听说
When you got the word
the Fugees 要重新回归…
that the Fugees is coming back together to…
我不信啊
DAVE: I didn’t believe it.
我也不信 是这样的，我接到个电♥话♥
I didn’t believe it ’cause… You know, what happened is, I got a call.
我说，Fugee 咋的了
Yo, I said, “Fugee what?”
我问你是哪位
I said, “Who is this?”
Clef 然后给我打电♥话♥
Then I got a call from Clef.
然后
And you know,
我还是不明白怎么回事
I still don’t know the science on it.
你知道，我们俩，这话是站在我俩立场上讲
I mean, you know, both of us, speaking for both of us,
就像是，当我们看到 Lauryn, 你懂我意思吧?
yo, it’s like, when we see Lauryn, you know what I’m saying?
就直接呆若木鸡，无话可说，你懂吧?
It’s like, we just, like, speechless, you know what I mean?
是啊，她在唱
Yeah. ‘Cause she was singing
Killing Me Softly 昨晚上
Killing Me Softly last night.
她就像…我们就像是
She was like… We was just like,
天哪，太美妙了
“God damn, she’s a beast.”
我是她的粉丝，我和 Clef 经历了一点不愉快
Like, I’m a fan. I mean, yeah, you know, me and Clef went through our little bullshit.
但总归都过去了，你明白吧?
Well, people go through that. You know what I’m saying?
老话讲，人非圣贤，孰能无过，过而能改，善莫大焉
But I think, like they say, to err is human, but to forgive is divine.
明白这中国古人智慧不? 所以
You know what I’m saying? So…
我们就又聚在一起了
We just came together.
因为我是 Clef 和 Lauryn 的粉丝
‘Cause I’m a fan of both Clef and Lauryn.
尽管我们是同一组合中的，我还是崇拜他们
Even though I’m a part of the group, I’m a fan of them,
当她开始唱 Killing Me Softly,
and when she started singing Killing Me Softly,
我感动得要哭了
I almost wanted to cry.

大家都在哪呢?
Where y’all been?
你们问我去哪里了?
What’d you… You said, where I’ve been?
你看，我去了那边
You see, that’s where I’ve been.
我去了那边
See, that’s where I’ve been.
对，你看见我去哪里了吗
Yeah. You see where I’ve been?
我们排练的第一天，就像…
Yeah, the first day that we rehearsed, it was…
你知道，都很熟悉
You know, it was familiar.
你能感觉到为什么…你知道
You could feel why… You know.
为什么我们会最初在一起做音乐
Why we had made music together in the first place.
当时有一种共通的感觉
‘Cause there was a certain synergy at the time.
我是从郊区长大的
You know, I was… I came from the straight-up suburbs,
在新泽西州，南奥兰治，然后我去了
you know, of South Orange, New Jersey. You know, I went to,
一所学校，里面大概百分之七十五都是
you know, a school that was probably like 75 percent…
白人…白人，中产，犹太人，你知道的
PRAS: White. …white, middle-class, Jewish, you know.
来自
And from,
努力工作的父母，然后我去了那学校
you know, hardworking parents. And I went to school
先见到了 Pras ，他和我哥哥很熟
and met Pras first, who had known my brother.
他又给我介绍了 Wyclef.
And he introduced me to Wyclef.
我记得第一次录音
I remember the first studio sessions.
我猜 Pras 是在南奥兰治的另一个录音棚花钱找了个地方
I guess Pras was paying for some place, this other studio at East Orange.
我走了进去
And I walked in,
我们正在录歌♥，然后 Wyclef 就来了
and we were recording the song, and then Wyclef shows up.
