Pass Away (LP版) - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Once in Persia reigned a king
波斯古国曾有位君王
Who upon his royal ring
在他尊贵的戒指上
Carved these words so true and wise
镌刻着睿智的箴言
Which when held before his eyes
每当举目凝视之时
Gave him counsel at a glance
瞬息间便获得启示
Of his life of changing chance
关于命运无常变幻
Solemn words and these are they:
那庄严的文字写道：
"Even this shall pass away"
"这一切终将消逝"
Trains of camels through the sand
驼队穿越黄沙漫漫
Brought him gems from Samarkand
为他带来撒马尔罕的珍宝
Fleets of galleys through the sea
船队横渡碧海汪洋
Brought him pearls to match with thee
为他采撷配你的明珠
But he counted not his gain
但他不计较所得
Nor his treasure mine or main
也不在乎金银财宝
"What is wealth " the king would say
国王常说："富贵何物"
"Even this shall pass away"
"这一切终将消逝"
In the revel of his court
宫廷盛宴正酣时
At the zenith of his sport
欢愉登峰造极处
When the palms of all his guests
满座宾客皆击掌
Burned with clapping at his zest
掌心灼热赞君欢
He among his figs and wine
葡萄美酒无花果间
Would cry "Oh loving friends of mine
君王高呼"挚友们啊
Pleasures may come but they cannot stay
欢愉虽至终须逝
Like even this shall pass away "
犹如繁华终成空"
The most beautiful woman ever seen
世间最美的容颜
Was the bride he chose his queen
是他选中的新娘与王后
Pillowed on their royal bed
在皇家床榻相依偎
Whispering to her soul he said:
他对着她的灵魂低语：
"Though a bridegroom never pressed
"纵使新郎从未
Dearer bosom to his chest
将更珍贵的温柔拥入怀
But mortal flesh must come to clay
但凡人终将归于尘土
And even these shall pass away"
这一切也终将消逝"
Towering over the village square
巍然耸立在村庄广场
Thirty meters in the air
三十米高的苍穹之上
Rose his statue carved in stone
他的石雕伫立如初
As the king stood there alone
君王独自在此驻足
Gazing at his sculptured name
凝望着镌刻的尊名
Said to himself "So what is fame
自问"虚名有何意义
Fame it's but slow decay
荣华终将缓缓凋零
Even this shall pass away"
连这也会消逝无影"
Fighting furiously on a battlefield
在战场上激烈厮杀
Once a javelin pierced his shield
长矛曾刺穿他的盾甲
Soldiers with a loud lament
士兵们哀恸的哭喊
Bore him bleeding to his tent
抬着血染的他回营帐
Groaning from his tortured side
从剧痛的伤口呻吟
"Pain is hard to bear" he cried
"这痛苦难以承受"他叹息
"Oh but with patience day by day
"但若日日忍耐坚持
Even this shall pass away"
连这也会消逝无影"
Sick and sore with cancer; weak and tired and old
病痛缠身 癌魔肆虐 虚弱疲惫 垂垂老矣
Just minutes yet to go to pass the gates o' gold
仅剩须臾光阴 便将穿越金色天门
Spake he with his dying breath
临终之际他喘息低语
"Life is done so what is death "
"生命已尽 死亡何惧"
Then in answer to the king
正当国王困惑之时
Fell a sunbeam on his ring
一束阳光落于戒指
Reflecting words he failed to say:
映出他未能道破的箴言：
"Even this shall pass away"
"这一切终将消逝"
