歌曲歌詞
英文
Let's go to the beach, each
Let's go get away
They say, what they gonna say?
Have a drink, clink, found the bud light
Bad bitches like me, is hard to come by
The patron on, let's go get it on
The zone on, yes, I'm in the zone
Is it two, three? Leave a good tip
I'mma blow off my money and don't give two shits
I'm on the floor, floor
I love to dance
So give me more more, till I can't stand
Get on the floor, floor
Like it's your last chance
If you want more, more
Then here I am
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up, and touch the sky
Can't stop, 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up, and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Can't stop..
(We're higher than a motherfucker)
(We're higher than a motherfuckcr)
(We're higher than a motherfucker)
Jump in my hoopty hoopty hoop
I own that
And I ain't paying my rent this month
I owe that
But fuck who you want, and fuck who you like
Dance our life, there's no end in sight
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Now everybody let me hear you say ray ray ray
Now spend all your money 'cause they pay pay pay
And if you're a G, you a G,G,G
My name is Onika, you can call me Nicki
Get on the floor, floor
Like it's your last chance
If you want more, more
Then here I am
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up, and touch the sky
Can't stop, 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up, and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Can't stop..
(We're higher than a motherfucker)
(We're higher than a motherfucker)
(We're higher than a motherfucker)
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up, and touch the sky
Can't stop, 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time
Starships were meant to fly
Hands up, and touch the sky
Let's do this one last time
Can't stop..
(We're higher than a motherfucker)
(We're higher than a motherfucker)
(We're higher than a motherfucker)
譯文
讓我們一起去享受海灘
趕快遠離喧鬧
不要理會別人的流言蜚語
喝上一杯烈酒
像我這樣無拘無束可是很難得的
釋放自我,火力全開
我的地盤我做主
早已沉醉,留下小費
土豪才不管那么多
身臨舞池
盡情舞動
徹夜狂歡
不願停止
趕快加入
把握時機
感受無限激情
看我躁動全場
星船即將飛翔
舉起雙手,觸碰藍天
難以停止,直衝雲霄
讓我們蓄滿能量奮力一嗨
星船發射在即
高舉雙手,仰望未來
讓我們再用盡全力最後一嗨
永不停下
我們正要嗨翻天
乘坐我的專車
自由我掌控
享受免費租房
應有盡有
別去理會,別去煩惱
縱情歌舞,今夜無眠
如此閃耀
讓我聽見你們的吶喊
花光積蓄,一分不留
我只想要高富帥
因為我是Onika,大名鼎鼎的妮琪·米娜
趕快加入
把握時機
感受無限激情
看我躁動全場
星船即將飛翔
舉起雙手,觸碰藍天
難以停止,直衝雲霄
讓我們蓄滿能量奮力一嗨
星船發射在即
高舉雙手,仰望未來
讓我們再用盡全力最後一嗨
永不停下
我們正要嗨翻天
星船即將飛翔
舉起雙手,觸碰藍天
難以停止,直衝雲霄
讓我們蓄滿能量奮力一嗨
星船發射在即
高舉雙手,仰望未來
讓我們再用盡全力最後一嗨
永不停下
我們正要嗨翻天
歌曲鑑賞
《Starships》是一首純粹的流行舞曲,旋律輕鬆,甚至可以和《
Super Bass》及《
Fly》媲美。Red one的製作如點睛之筆,使該歌曲更加動聽。該歌曲與妮琪·米娜以前的音樂風格截然不同,不足之點是欠缺說唱部分,過於商業化。在音樂結構上,《Starships》的音調主要為G小調,歌曲內部被設有約每分鐘120次的中速節拍樂器。作為錄唱歌手,妮琪·米娜的音域位於A3和D5之間。
歌曲MV
《Starships》的MV於2012年3月12日在夏威夷拍攝,由Anthony Mandler執導,歷時三天時間拍攝完成。於2012年4月26日下午7時56分在MTV首播。在MV中,一架宇宙飛船飛到一個海島、穿著粉紅色的比基尼,戴著綠色的假髮的妮琪·米娜以幻影的形式出現,她在海灘上無憂無慮地玩耍著。
