When they beat
当他们
On a broken guitar
在破旧的吉他上弹奏
And on the streets
在大街上
They reek of tropical charms
他们散发出热情的魅力
The embassies lie in hideous shards
大使馆的人们躺在可憎的碎片之中
Where tourists snore and decay
在那里游客们在打着鼾 而且还在慢慢腐烂
When they dance in a reptile blaze
当他们像爬行动物一样跳舞时
You wear a mask
你戴上面具
An equatorial haze
赤道上的薄雾
Into the past
回到过去
A colonial maze
一个殖民地的迷宫
Where there's no more confetti to throw
在那里没有更多的五彩纸屑去扔
You didn't know what to say to yourself

Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
爱很稀有 你不能出售
Misery waiting in vague hotels
在模糊的酒店中痛苦地等待
To be evicted
被驱逐
You're out of luck
你不走运
You're singing funeral songs
你在唱着葬礼歌曲
To the studs
对着累累白骨
They're anabolic and bronze
他们被同化 被晒黑
They seem to strut
他们似乎在高视阔步
In their millennial fogs
在千禧年的迷雾中
'Til they fall down and deflate
直到他们跌倒 慢慢变小
You didn't know what to say to yourself
你不知道你要对自己说什么
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
爱很稀有 你不能出售
Misery waiting in vague hotels
在模糊的酒店中痛苦地等待
To be evicted
被驱逐
Now you've had your fun
现在你有自己的乐趣
Under an air-conditioned sun
在有空调的阳光下
It's burned into your eyes
深印于你的双眸之中
Leaves you plain and left behind
留下朴实无华的你 还有把一切抛之脑后
See them eyes and fall
看着他们的眼睛 然后坠落
Into the jaws of a pestilent love
进入到致命的爱的血盆大口中
You didn't know what to say to yourself
你不知道你要对自己说什么
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell

Misery waiting in vague hotels
在模糊的酒店中痛苦地等待
To be a victim
被驱逐
