Looking East - Jackson Browne

Looking East - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west
伫立海边 残阳如血染红西天
Like a fire in the cavernous darkness at the heart of the beast
恍若巨兽心脏处 幽暗洞穴里燃烧的烈焰
With my beliefs and possessions stopped at the frontier in my chest
信念与行囊 在胸膛边境搁浅
At the edge of my country my back to the sea looking east
背靠故国沧海 极目向东远眺
Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod
真理的追寻沦为心照不宣的表演
And where power and position are equated with the grace of god
权位与神恩被混为一谈
These times are famine for the soul while for the senses its a feast
这是灵魂饥馑的年代 却是感官的盛宴
From the edge of my country as far as you see looking east
在我祖国的边缘 极目远眺东方
Hunger in the midnight hunger at the stroke of noon
午夜的饥渴 正午时分的渴望
Hunger in the mansion hunger in the rented room
豪宅中的渴求 陋室里的期盼
Hunger on the tv hunger on the printed page
荧幕上的饥渴 纸页间的向往
And theres a godsized hunger underneath the laughing and the rage
在欢笑与愤怒之下 潜藏着神性的渴望
In the absence of light
在光明缺席之处
And the deepening night
夜色渐深之时
Where I wait for the sun
我等待着朝阳
Looking east
向东眺望
How long have I left my mind to the powers that be
我放任心灵臣服于权贵已有多久
How long will it take to find the higher power moving in me
要多久才能寻得那在我体内涌动的至高力量
Power in the insect
昆虫体内蕴藏力量
Power in the sea
汪洋深处暗含力量
Power in the snow falling silently
雪花飘落时静默的力量
Power in the blossom
花朵绽放时勃发的力量
Power in the stone
顽石之中沉淀的力量
Power in the song being sung alone
独唱之歌蕴含力量
Power in the wheatfield
麦浪翻滚中蕴藏力量
Power in the rain
绵绵细雨里孕育力量
Power in the sunlight and the hurricane
骄阳飓风间激荡力量
Power in the silence
寂静无声处蛰伏力量
Power in the flame
跃动火焰中燃烧力量
Power in the sound of the lovers name
爱侣轻唤时流淌力量
The power of the sunrise and the power of a prayer released
破晓晨光与虔诚祷词皆显神力
On the edge of my country I pray for the ones with the least
在祖国的边缘 我为最卑微者祈祷
Hunger in the midnight hunger at the stroke of noon
午夜的饥渴 正午时分的渴望
Hunger in the banquet hunger in the bride and groom
盛宴中的饥渴 新婚佳偶的饥渴
Hunger on the tv hunger on the printed page
荧幕上的饥渴 纸页间的向往
And theres a godsized hunger underneath the questions of the age
这时代的疑问下 蛰伏着神性的饥渴
And an absence of light
而光明正在缺席
In the deepening night
在这渐深的夜里
Where I wait for the sun
我等待着朝阳
Looking east
向东眺望
