So To Speak - Sting

So To Speak - Sting/Becky Unthank
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
They're seriously saying it's prolonging me life
他们信誓旦旦说这能延续我的生命
If I'll only submit to the surgical knife
只要我甘愿躺上手术台任人宰割
But what are the odds on a month or a week
但赌场都要关门了 这赌注能有多大胜算
When the betting shop's closing its doors so to speak
一个月或一周的苟延残喘又算什么
When you're tied to a pump and a breathing machine
当你被呼吸机和输液泵牢牢束缚
With their X-rays and probes and their monitor screens
在X光探针和监护屏幕的包围之中
And they'll wake ye up hungry saying "How do ye feel "
他们唤醒饥饿的你 虚情假意问感受
And then you're stuffed full of pills and a barium meal
接着又用钡餐和药片将你填塞
Prolonging me life Now that's some kind of joke
延长我的生命 这简直是个笑话
I'd be laughing me head off and I'd probably choke
我笑得前仰后合 几乎要窒息
The spirit's still willing but the rest of me's weak
灵魂依然渴望 但身体已衰竭
Now the bets are all off and the prospects look bleak
赌注全数作废 前景黯淡无光
When you're laid like a piece of old meat on the slab
当你像块腐肉 瘫在案板之上
And they'll cut and they'll slice and they'll poke and they'll jab
他们切切割割 戳刺不停歇
And they'll grill ye and burn ye and they'll wish ye good health
炙烤灼烧着你 还祝你永安康
With their radium chemo and God knows what else
镭疗化疗 还有那些说不清的手段
Well ye can't fault the science though the logic is weak
科学本身无可指摘 但逻辑却如此苍白
Is it really an eternal life we should seek
我们真该追求那所谓的永恒生命吗
That ship has sailed
机会已逝
That ship has sailed
机会已逝
That ship has already sailed So to speak
可以说 那艘船早已扬帆远去
Our mission is more than a struggle for breath
我们的使命不只是为呼吸而挣扎
For a few extra rounds in a fight to the death
不是为了在生死搏斗中多活几轮
When our mission is love and compassion and grace
当我们的使命是爱与慈悲与恩典
It's not a test of endurance or a marathon race
这不是耐力的考验 也不是马拉松赛跑
For love is the sabre and love is the shield
因爱是利剑 爱亦是盾牌
Love is the only true power we wield
爱是我们唯一真实的力量
An eternal love is all ye should seek
你们应当追寻永恒的爱
That ship will be ready to sail So to speak
那艘船已准备好启航 可以这么说
I hear what you're saying 'cos I've heard it before
我明白你的话语 因我曾听过
But I'm afraid if I let what is past through my door
但我害怕让过往穿过心门
How long would he stay a month or a week
他能停留多久 一月或一周
When that ship has already sailed so to speak
当那艘船早已启航 可以说
Should I settle for something that's safe on this Earth
我是否该安于尘世安稳
What would it profit me what is it worth
这对我有何益处 又有何价值
If I lose something precious completely unique
若我失去珍贵而独特之物
When it's only eternity's love we should seek
当我们本该追寻永恒的挚爱
For when that ship sails and the course has been set
因当船帆扬起 航向已定
And the wind's in the offing and the sails have been let
顺风鼓满帆 即将远行
And the hatches are full and the hull doesn't leak
舱门紧闭 船身完好无损
And the ship is all ready to sail So to speak
这艘船已整装待发 随时启航
I'm tired and fading and losing the light
我疲惫不堪 渐渐消逝 失去光明
And I've no way to tell if it's day or it's night
分不清此刻是白昼还是黑夜
Follow your heart it's the harbour ye seek
追随你的心 寻找避风港湾
And this ship is ready to sail
这艘船已准备启程
This ship is ready to sail
这艘船已准备启程
This ship is ready to sail So to speak
这艘船已准备启程 随时出发
