Iconoclast - Cobalt

Iconoclast - Cobalt
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Things may not be immediately discernible in what a man writes
笔下文字未必即刻显露真意
And in this sometimes he is fortunate
这未尝不是一种幸运
But eventually they are quite clear
但终将水落石出
And by these and the degree of alchemy
凭借这些与独门炼金术
That he possesses he will endure or be forgotten
他将永存于世或湮没无闻
Writing at its best is a lonely life
写作本质是孤独的苦修
Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness
文人结社可稍解寂寥
But I doubt if they improve his writing
却难使文采增辉
He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness
他在公众声望中成长 却褪去了孤独的锋芒
And often his work deteriorates
而作品往往因此黯淡无光
For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer
因他独自耕耘文字 若算得上真正的作家
He must face eternity or the lack of it each day
每日都需直面永恒 或永恒的虚妄
For a true writer
真正的作家
Each book should be a new beginning where he tries again
每本书都该是新的征程 再次追寻
For something that is beyond attainment
那遥不可及的理想
He should always try for something that has never been done
永远挑战 前人未至的远方
Or that others have tried and failed
或他人曾尝试却未成功
Then sometimes with great luck he will succeed
偶尔幸运之神眷顾 方能如愿以偿
How simple the writing of literature would be
文学创作本该如此简单
If it were only necessary to write in another way
若只需另辟蹊径 改写前人佳作
What has been well written
那些传世经典
It is because we have had such great writers in the past
正因为先贤们登峰造极
That a writer is driven far out past where he can go
后来者才被推向更远的彼岸
Out to where no one can help him
远至无人能及的孤境
I have spoken too long for a writer
作为一个作家 我已说得太多
A writer should write what he has to say and not speak it
作家应当用笔书写 而非用口诉说
Writing at its best is a lonely life
写作本质是孤独的苦修
He will endure or be forgotten
要么流芳百世 要么湮没无闻
He will endure or be forgotten
要么流芳百世 要么湮没无闻
