A Star, a Jewel, and a Hoax (Live at WFMT Chicago) - John Prine
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
He's a star
他是耀眼的明星
But he didn't get as far
却未达众人期许的高度
As those who idolized his ways and means
那些效仿他处世之道的人们
To prepare themselves
以此修炼自身
To be better human beings
追求更高尚的灵魂
Well they understood more than he had meant to say
他们领悟的 远比他试图表达的更深
In his day
在他辉煌的时代里
But that's ok
但这又何妨
She's a jewel
她是颗璀璨珠宝
But her tactics are so cruel
却藏着残忍手段
And her past affairs smelled cheap
过往情事透着廉价气息
Like the perfume in her hair
像她发间浮夸的香水味
She lives
她活在
Another life but not her own
不属于自己的人生里
On an imaginary throne
端坐虚幻王座
In the sky
高悬天际
She's afraid to die
她畏惧死亡降临
Great thoughts don't come
伟大的思想不会眷顾
To those who try to hard
那些过分执着的人
To interpretate what's going on
试图解读表象背后
In the minds back yard
心灵深处的秘密
So I'll leave
所以我选择离开
Lest you think that I'm a hoax
免得你认为我是虚妄
Like these other folks
如同那些庸常之辈
In my song
在我的歌里
Good-bye so long
再见 后会无期
