I Was Meant For The Stage(Live) - The Decemberists

I was meant for the stage
我生来就属于舞台
I was meant for the curtain
我注定为帷幕而生
I was meant to tread these boards
我必将在这方寸之地起舞
Of this much I am certain
对此我深信不疑
I was meant for the crowd
我生来就属于人潮
I was meant for the shouting
我注定为喝彩而活
I was meant to raise these hands
我必将高举双手
With quiet all about me
哪怕周遭万籁俱寂
Oh Oh

Mother please be proud
母亲请为我骄傲
Father be forgiving
父亲请宽恕我
Even though you told me
尽管你曾告诫我
'Son you'll never make a living '
"孩子你永远无法谋生"
Oh oh

From the floorboards to the flys
从地板到飞檐
Here I was fated to reside
这里就是我命中注定的归宿
And as I take my final bow
当我鞠躬谢幕时
Was there ever any doubt
何曾有过半分迟疑
And as the spotlights fade away
当聚光灯渐次熄灭
And you're escorted through the foyer
你穿过剧院前厅离去
You will resume your callow ways
终将回归浅薄日常
But I was meant for the stage
而我生来属于舞台
The heavens at my birth
自呱呱坠地那刻
Intended me for stardom
命运已许我星光
Rays of light shone down on me
聚光灯洒落在我身上
And all my sins were pardoned
所有罪孽皆被宽恕
I was meant for applause
我生来就该享受喝彩
I was meant for derision
也注定承受讥讽
Nothing short of fate itself
若非命运使然
Has affected my decision
怎会如此决绝
Oh oh

And from the floorboards to the flys
从舞台地板到悬吊景片
Here I was fated to reside
这里就是我命中注定的归宿
And as I take my final bow
当我鞠躬谢幕时
Was there ever any doubt
何曾有过半分迟疑
And as the spotlights fade away
当聚光灯渐次熄灭
And you're escorted through the foyer
你穿过剧院前厅离去
You will resume your callow ways
终将回归浅薄日常
But I was meant for the stage
而我生来属于舞台
