Subdivision - Ani Difranco

Subdivision - Ani Difranco
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
White people are so scared of black people
白人对黑人充满恐惧
They bulldoze out to the country
他们逃往郊外避难
And put up houses on little loop dee loop streets
在蜿蜒小道上建起新房
While america gets it's heart cut right out of
而美国正被掏空心脏
It's chest
从胸膛
The berlin wall still runs down main street
柏林墙仍横贯主街
Separating east side from west
将东西城区生生隔断
And nothing is stirring not even a mouse
四下寂静 连鼠辈都噤声
In the boarded up stores and the broken down houses
在木板封堵的店铺与倾颓的房屋之间
So they hang colorful banners off all the street lamps
他们却在街灯挂满鲜艳横幅
Just to prove they got no manners
只为证明自己毫无教养
No mercy and no sense
既无怜悯 亦无理智
And I'm wondering what it will take
我思索着究竟需要什么
For my city to rise
才能让我的城市重生
First we admit our mistakes
先要承认我们的过错
Then we open our eyes
而后才能真正觉醒
The ghosts of old buildings are haunting parking lots
废弃老楼的幽灵在停车场游荡
In the city of good neighbors that history forgot
这座友善之都已被历史遗忘
I remember the first time I saw someone
仍记得初见有人蜷缩在寒街
Lying on the cold street
冰冷路面上的身影
I thought can't just walk past here
我无法就此走过视而不见
This can't just be true
这不该是现实模样
But I learned by example
但人们教会我冷漠
To just keep moving thing my feet
只能继续麻木前行
It's amazing the things that we all learn to do
我们学会的生存之道多么可悲
So we're led by denial like lambs to the slaughter
像待宰羔羊般被蒙蔽牵引
Serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water
供奉着时尚帝国与糖水泡沫
And the old farm road's a four lane that leads
昔日农道已成四车道
To the mall and I
通向购物中心 而我
Dreams are all guillotines waiting I know fall
梦想都成了断头台 静候坠落
I'm wondering what it will take
究竟要付出多少代价
For my country to rise
为了我的国家崛起
First we admit our mistakes
先要承认我们的过错
Then we open our eyes
而后才能真正觉醒
Or nature succumbs to one last dumb decision
否则自然将屈服于最后一个愚蠢决定
America the beautiful
美丽的美国啊
Is just one big subdivision
不过是个巨大的分区
I'm black
我是黑人
