The Crock Of Gold - The Tossers

The Crock Of Gold - The Tossers
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
We'll live out our lives on this dirty old street
我们将在这肮脏的老街度过余生
Only because we just can't compete
只因为我们无力抗争命运
But in the concrete in our younger days
但在年少时的水泥地上
We left our names
我们刻下了自己的名字
Our names
我们的名字
Just like the people before when they reached
就像前人抵达彼岸时那样
The distant shore with their drink and their dance
带着酒与舞步
And their dreams and sincere aims
带着梦想和真挚的渴望
All ghosts long gone through old buildings they stare
游魂穿行旧楼间 空洞目光凝视
With their offspring staring at me for they are still there
他们的后代仍注视着我 灵魂未曾消散
Dreams that are dead and lives not realized
梦想已逝 人生未竟
But why did we write our names in these streets
为何我们仍将姓名刻写街头
To show we're alive
只为证明活着
We're alive
我们活着
We're alive
我们活着
We're alive
我们活着
We're alive
我们活着
Well Chicago is my home and I'll never want to roam
芝加哥是我的家 我永远不愿漂泊他乡
To live on any sun swept distant shore
不愿在阳光灿烂的遥远海岸生活
Well it is where I was reared by forbearers so revered
这是我被敬爱的先辈们养育的地方
And I sing the songs that they all sang before
我唱着他们曾经唱过的歌谣
Well any woman that's neared me
每个靠近我的女人
Has been repelled most thoroughly
都被我彻底推开
Still I'm a lover God
但我仍是个痴情的人啊
I am foremost of all
我首先是个音乐人
A musician that's my call of high degree professional
那是我崇高的职业使命
But I'm afraid I do not know my trade at all
但惶恐的是 我竟对自己的行当一窍不通
And if it's every twenty years
若每二十年
Some small relief to me appears
能得些许喘息之机
Then the crock of gold will wait until that day
那罐黄金终将在彼时静候
To defend myself no more
不再为自己辩解
Lay the shield of anger at my door
将愤怒之盾弃置门前
And the sword of alcohol will stow away
酒精的利刃终将收鞘入眠
All the young people in our town are overworked
镇上的年轻人被生活压弯了脊梁
And broken down
在绝望中喘息
Begging cheques but it's just not enough they're giving
乞讨救济却永远杯水车薪
Crying quietly living life so desperately
噙着泪苟活 日子像钝刀割肉
That something has to make this life worth living
总该有什么让生命值得继续
Real life is only a timeline
真实人生不过是时间轴上的刻度
And the excitement holds the short times
而短暂欢愉总在夹缝中闪光
It will never measure up to what T V sells as great
永远比不上电视里描绘的美好生活
All the drunken jokes and views
那些醉醺醺的笑话和观点
Exciting pubs they tell the news
热闹酒吧里传播的新闻
But the exciting pats well
但那些所谓的精彩片段
They just weren't all that great
其实并没有那么美好
And if it's every twenty years
若每二十年
Some small relief to me appears
能得些许喘息之机
Then the crock of gold will wait until that day
那罐黄金终将在彼时静候
To defend myself no more
不再为自己辩解
Lay the shield of anger at my door
将愤怒之盾弃置门前
And the sword of alcohol will stow away
酒精的利刃终将收鞘入眠
Go
走吧
Well I met a girl one night
那夜我遇见一位姑娘
And enchantment fixed our sight
目光交汇时彼此沉沦
So we decided we would hold it for awhile
于是我们决定暂时相守
Oh but she would not love me
可她终究不会爱我
So inside me finally I said
最终我在心底默念
It's not your fault
这不是你的错
But I would like love if only for a while
但哪怕片刻温存 我也渴望被爱
Well it's on and on I've seen
周而复始的循环
Yeah that's how it's always been
这就是永恒的宿命
And how it will be as ever on I go
而我仍要继续前行
Oh but ever on I will
纵使前路漫漫
Through all the banal times until I find some
在平庸岁月里寻觅曙光
Place to me that seems like home
那个让我有家的感觉的地方
Oh and if it's every twenty years
啊 如果每隔二十年
Some small relief to me appears
能得些许喘息之机
Then the crock of gold will wait until that day
那罐黄金终将在彼时静候
To defend myself no more
不再为自己辩解
Lay the shield of anger at my door
将愤怒之盾弃置门前
And the sword of alcohol will stow away
酒精的利刃终将收鞘入眠
Oh and if it's every twenty years
啊 如果每隔二十年
Some small relief to me appears
能得些许喘息之机
Then the crock of gold will wait until that day
那罐黄金终将在彼时静候
To defend myself no more
不再为自己辩解
Lay the shield of anger at my door
将愤怒之盾弃置门前
And the sword of alcohol will stow away
酒精的利刃终将收鞘入眠
