A Louse Is Not A Home (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Sometimes it's very scary here sometimes it's very sad
有时这里阴森可怖 有时又悲伤满溢
Sometimes I think I'll disappear betimes I think I have
时而觉得自己将消散 时而又确信存在
There's a line snaking down my mirror
蜿蜒裂痕爬满我的镜面
Splintered glass distorts my face
碎玻璃扭曲着容颜
And though the light is strong and strange
尽管光线强烈而诡谲
It can't illuminate the musty corners of this place
照不亮这地方霉暗的角落
There is a lofty lonely Lohengrenic castle in the clouds
云中有座高耸孤寂的洛亨格林城堡
I draw my murky meanings there
我在那里描绘晦暗的隐喻
But seven years' dark luck is just around the corner
但七年厄运正悄然逼近
And in the shadows lurks the spectre of Despair
绝望的幽灵在阴影中潜伏
A cracked mirror' mid the drapes of the landing
楼梯间的帷幔后 有面破碎的镜子
Split image labored understanding
分裂的影像 费解的认知
I'm only trying to find a place to hide my home
我只想找个地方藏起我的家
I've lived in houses composed of glass
我曾住在玻璃筑成的房子里
Where every movement is charted
每个举动都被记录在案
But now the monitor screens are dark
如今监控屏幕却一片漆黑
And I can't tell if silent eyes are there
我分不清那些沉默的目光是否真实存在
My words are spiders upon the page
文字如蛛网般在纸上蔓延
They spin out faith hope and reason
编织着信仰 希望与理性
But are they meet and just or only dust
却不知是真理的结晶 或只是尘埃
Gathering about my chair
在我座椅四周堆积
Sometimes I get the feeling
有时莫名感觉到
That there's someone else there
有另一个存在
The faceless watcher makes me uneasy
无面的监视者令我惶惶不安
I can feel him through the floorboards
我能透过地板感受到他的存在
And His presence is creepy
他的气息令人毛骨悚然
He informs me that I shall be expelled
他宣告我将被驱逐
What is that but out of and into
那不过是离开又进入
I don't know the nature of the door that I'd go through
我不知道将要穿过的是怎样的门
I don't know the nature of the nature
不明白这本质的本质
That I am inside
我身处其中的真相
I've lived in houses of brick and lead
我曾栖身于砖墙铅顶的房屋
Where all emotion is sacred
所有情感皆神圣不可侵犯
And if you want to devour the fruit
若想品尝这禁果的滋味
You must first sniff at the fragrance
须先轻嗅它的芬芳
And lay your body before the shrine
将身躯虔诚供奉于圣坛之前
With poems and posies and papers
以诗篇 花束与信笺为祭
Or if you catch the ruse you'll have to choose
若识破其中玄机 便面临抉择
To stay a monk or leave a vagrant
是留下修行 还是漂泊远去
What is this place you call home
你称之为家的这个地方
Is it a sermon or a confession
这是布道还是忏悔
Is it the chalice that you use for protection
圣杯是否成了你的护盾
Is it really only somewhere you can stay
这里真的只是你暂居之地吗
Is it a rulebook or a lecture
这是规则还是训诫
Is it a beating at the hands of your Protector
保护者的鞭笞是否让你颤抖
Does the idol have feet of clay
神像的泥足终将崩塌
Home is what you make it
家由心造
So my friends all say
至少老友们都这么说
Don't you know I rarely see their homes in these dark days
你可知道 在这晦暗岁月里 我鲜少窥见他们的归处
Some of them are snails
有人如蜗牛般匍匐
And carry houses on their backs
将整个家驮在脊背
Others live in monuments
有人栖身于纪念碑
Which one day will be racks
终将沦为断壁残垣
I keep my home in place
我用胶带与图钉
With sellotape and tintacks
勉强维系着容身之所
But I still feel there's some other Force here
却仍感知到某种无形之力在游走
He who cracks the mirrors and moves the walls
那个击碎镜子移动墙壁的人
Keeps staring through
始终透过
The eyeslits of the portraits in my hall
走廊画像的眼缝窥视着我
He ravages my library and taps the telephone
他肆虐我的书房 轻敲电话听筒
I've never actually seen Him
我从未真正见过他
But I know He's in my home
但我知道他就在我家中
And if he goes away
若他离去
I can't stay here either
我也无法在此停留
I believe I think
我深信 我想
Well I don't know
其实 我也不确定
I only live in one room at a time
每次只栖身于一室
But all of the walls are ears
但每面墙都长着耳朵
And all the windows eyes
每扇窗都是眼睛
Everything else is foreign
其余一切都如此陌生
Home' is my wordless chant
"家"是我无声的咒语
Give it a chance
给它一个机会
I am surrounded by flesh and bone
血肉之躯将我包围
I am a temple of living
我是生命的圣殿
I am a hermit I am a drone
既是隐士 又是傀儡
And I am boring out a place to be
正凿刻一方容身之所
With secret garlands about my head
头顶隐秘的花环
Unearthly silence is broke
打破非尘世的寂静
The room is growing dark and in the stark light
房间渐暗 刺目光线下
I see a face I know
我看见一张熟悉的脸
Could this be the guy who never shows
这会是那个从不露面的人吗
The cracked mirror what he's feeling
破碎镜中映出他的情绪
Merely mumbles prayers to the ground where he's kneeling
他只是跪地喃喃祈祷
Home is home is home is home is home is home is me
家啊家啊家就是我
All you people looking for your houses
你们这些寻找归宿的人
Don't throw your weight around
别太自以为是
You might break your glasses
当心摔碎你的眼镜
And if you do you know you just can't see
即便你尝试 也终究无法看清
And then how are you to find
又该如何寻觅
The dawning of the day
那破晓的晨光
Day is just a word I use
白昼只是我用来
To keep the dark at bay
抵御黑暗的咒语
And people are imaginary nothing else exists
人群皆为虚妄 万物皆不存在
Except the room I'm sitting in
除了这间囚禁我的牢笼
And of course the allpervading mist
当然还有那无处不在的迷雾
Sometimes I wonder if even that's real
有时我怀疑连这雾气是否真实
Maybe I should delouse this place
或许我该净化这个地方
Maybe I should deplace this louse
或许我该驱逐这些烦扰
Maybe I'll maybe my life away
或许我会在犹豫中虚度此生
In the confines of this silent house
在这寂静屋宇的方寸之间
Sometimes it's very scary here
有时这里令人毛骨悚然
Sometimes it's very sad
有时这里充满哀伤
Sometimes I think I'll disappear
有时我觉得自己会消失不见
Sometimes I think
有时我觉得
