Cretans Always Lie - Peter Hammill

Cretans Always Lie - Peter Hammill
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
It's impossible to trace
这踪迹无从追寻
These words in carbon paper trail
如复写纸上的字迹消隐
For just as Zeno's arrow flies the snake is eating its tail
芝诺之箭飞驰时 蛇已吞下自己的尾
And in contradictory style
矛盾重重间
The soldier and the steer attend
士兵与牛群同行
Around the mark of the five hundred all in charge of a friend
环绕五百标记处 皆由一位友人统领
"The Cretans always lie"
"克里特人永远说谎"
Claims the Cretan
克里特人如此宣称
The Cretans always lie
克里特人永远说谎
A kiss the gift from hell
地狱馈赠的吻
Light the poison pillow dear
亲爱的 点亮这毒药枕头
And as we gag on it translation smacks of something like
当我们被呛到时 翻译听起来像是
"Cretans always lie"
"克里特人永远说谎"
Claims the Cretan;
克里特人宣称
"Of Cretan stock am I
"我出身克里特血统
Am I Cretan "
我是否克里特人"
Why don't we hook this old short circuit to the value of Pi
何不将这古老短路接入圆周率的值
"Cretans always lie"
"克里特人永远说谎"
Claims the Cretan;
克里特人宣称
"Of Cretan stock am I
"我出身克里特血统
(so) am I Cretan "
(那么)我是否克里特人"
And Zeno's arrow flies
芝诺之箭划破长空
Through the ether
穿越以太之境
Come on
来吧
Let's see how the paradox flies
且看这悖论如何翱翔
