So men are still at war in ireland
爱尔兰的战火仍未平息
For certain songs and certain dates
为某些歌谣与特定日期
The tender gave way to the firebrand
温柔终向狂热屈膝
And europe gave way to the states
欧洲向美利坚俯首称臣
So now that money's all but scentless
如今金钱已失去芬芳
Noses and consciences are clear
良知与嗅觉同样清醒
The pointless flowers can be dispensed with
无意义的鲜花尽可抛弃
But see a friend in tears
却见故人泪落如雨
So our defeats are just reminders
我们的失败不过是警醒
Of death that waits behind it all
死亡始终潜伏在阴影中
The body wilts before the mind does
肉体先于意志凋零
Surprised to see how soon it falls
惊觉它陨落得如此匆匆
It's true our women have deceived us
诚然我们的女人背弃了我们
All hunted species disappear
所有被猎杀的物种终将消逝
It's true we've shot the golden eagles
我们确实射落了金雕
But see a friend in tears
却见故人泪落如雨
It's true our cities are exhausted
诚然 我们的城市已精疲力竭
Made by and for the middle aged
由中年人建造 为他们而生
Our weakness gave them more than force did
我们的软弱比武力更助长他们
We thought that love could cure a toothache
曾以为爱能治愈牙痛
And in the underground we're drowning
而在地下通道里 我们正沉沦
Accelerating through the years
岁月飞驰而过
You who think you'll find the truth by frowning
你皱眉以为能找到真相
See a friend in tears
却见朋友泪流满面
It's true our mirrors don't show heroes
镜中照不出英雄的身影
We lack the courage to be jews
我们缺乏犹太人的勇气
Without the elegance of negroes
也不似黑人那般优雅从容
With our youthful fireworks all defused
青春的火花早已熄灭无踪
And all these men who are our brothers
这些与我们血脉相连的兄弟
Wonder why we don't want to hear
困惑为何我们不愿倾听
How their worst enemies are their lovers
诉说他们最凶残的敌人竟是挚爱
See a friend in tears
却见朋友泪流满面
