Periphery Waltz - Jolie Holland
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
When the supreme authorities of our culture
当文化至高权威们
Tell us to get down on our knees
命令我们屈膝跪拜
And beg for salvation from some divinity
向神明祈求救赎时
Is it any wonder there are people
街头那些为摆脱贫困
Begging on the street for salvation from poverty
而乞求救赎的人们
Well it's no surprise to me it's no surprise to me
这丝毫不令我惊讶 丝毫不令我惊讶
I left my home in the church
我离开了教堂里的家
I left my home in the suburbs to wander
离开郊区的安逸去流浪
I did it all for my dreams and the star
我倾尽所有只为追逐梦想与星辰
That I followed fell from the periphery
而我追随的那颗星 已从天际陨落
And the street lights slipping down
街灯的光影顺着挡风玻璃
My windshield fell like falling stars
如流星般滑落
Down a dark country road
在这幽暗的乡间小路
I first left my home when I was seventeen
十七岁那年 我初次离乡远行
And I paid my respects to my fellow rejects
向同是天涯沦落人的伙伴们道别
But I tended to wander alone like I was listening
却习惯独自徘徊 仿佛在聆听内心的声音
To the words of a song whispered soft and low
如同低吟浅唱的歌词轻诉
It's kind of like dancing
这感觉像在起舞翩跹
It's kind of like losing your mind
又似神思恍惚的迷离
And I've often considered
我时常思量
The impractibility of my life
这荒诞不经的人生轨迹
And the moon behind the clouds is ill defined
云翳后的月影朦胧难辨
I got lost so many times but I could not
虽屡次迷失方向
Be consigned to a fate of obsolescence
却绝不向腐朽的命运低头
And decline so I'll take the chance again
纵使前路坎坷 我仍要再次启程
And the mockingbird is my friend
知更鸟是我唯一的知己
When he sings a song in the warm midnight wind
当它在温暖夜风中轻轻吟唱
So I'll follow my old tune and I'll wish you good morning
我将循着旧日旋律 向你道声早安
