Once We Were Anarchists - Frank Turner
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The demonstrations got boring
示威游行已令人厌倦
Well it was obvious that the government was ignoring us
政府显然对我们视而不见
It's hard to drag yourself through empty streets
拖着疲惫身躯穿过空荡街道
On an empty stomach and no sleep
饥肠辘辘又彻夜难眠
The shortcomings got clearer
现实的缺陷愈发明显
As the price we paid got dearer and dearer
而我们付出的代价越来越沉重
It's supposed to be a case of give and take –
这本该是场公平交易
Well I was feeling the give and making a mistake
却只有我在付出 还犯下大错
And I've heard it said that the unexamined life
有人曾说未经审视的人生
Isn't much worth living and I'm sure they're right
不值得度过 我深以为然
But it's hard to keep on fighting the good fight
但坚持抗争实在太难
When no one else seems bothered yeah
当周遭无人在意 是啊
When no one's on your side
当孤立无援之时
I'm young enough to be all pissed off
我仍年轻 满腔愤懑
But I'm old enough to be jaded
却也沧桑 看透世事
I'm of the age where I want things to change
正值渴望改变的年纪
But with age my hopes have faded
但岁月流逝 我的希望逐渐消散
I'm young and bored of being young and bored –
年轻却厌倦这乏味的青春——
If I was old I could say I'd seen it all before
若已迟暮 或许能说早已看透
In short I'm tired and in short
总之我累了 真的累了
I've got friends who are bankers
有些朋友在银行谋生
And it's an easy rhyme to call them wankers
戏称他们为混蛋太过轻易
But I must say I envy the way that they live
却不得不承认 我羡慕他们的活法
In a style that's all take and no give
那种只索取不付出的生存方式
While I'm playing the Lone Ranger
当我扮演独行侠时
Riding to the rescue of six billion strangers
试图拯救六十亿陌生人的命运
Armed with only unoriginal songs
仅凭千篇一律的歌曲武装自己
And a sense that something's wrong
和一种隐约的不安预感
And I must admit that I'm tired of saying "no" all the time
不得不承认 我已厌倦不断拒绝
But I must admit that I don't really know what would be right
但必须坦白 其实我也不知何为正确
And if politics is helping all the people
若政治真能惠泽众生
Then my political career is pretty f**ked
那我的从政之路可谓彻底失败
Because the truth is I don't like people all that much
只因真相是我对世人并无多少好感
The times they aren't a-changing –
时代从未真正改变——
Yeah England's still sh*t and it's still raining
英格兰依旧糟糕 阴雨连绵
And everybody's jaded and tired and bored
每个人都倦怠疲惫 麻木不堪
And no one lifts a finger because
无人愿意伸出援手
It's just not in our culture
这本就不是我们的传统
Our culture is carrion and we're all vultures
我们的传统如同腐肉 而我们都成了秃鹫
And no one seems bothered by this state of play –
无人对这现状感到不安
It seems that the stench is with us to stay
腐臭气息似乎永难消散
So I had a go I tried examining life
我曾试图审视人生
It wasn't much worth living – I guess they're right
却发现它不值得留恋——或许他们说得对
And I'm tired of fighting a fight that's not my fight
厌倦了为无关之事抗争
But so is everybody else – we're all on the same side
但所有人都一样——我们站在同一边
I'm young enough to be all pissed off
我仍年轻 满腔愤懑
But I'm old enough to be jaded
却也沧桑 看透世事
I'm of the age where I want things to change
正值渴望改变的年纪
But with age my hopes have faded
但岁月流逝 我的希望逐渐消散
I'm young and bored of being young and bored –
年轻却厌倦这乏味的青春——
If I was old I could say I'd seen it all before
若已迟暮 或许能说早已看透
In short I'm tired and in short I'm probably fired
说到底 我倦了 说到底 或许已被抛弃
If the revolution doesn't want me I don't give a sh*t
若革命不屑我的存在 那也*无所谓
