No City - Aesop Rock

No City - Aesop Rock
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
For want of a nail the shoe was lost
缺了一枚钉 蹄铁便失落
For want of a shoe the horse was lost
失了这蹄铁 战马折蹄错
For want of a horse the rider was lost
折了这战马 骑士阵前殁
For want of a rider the battle was lost
殁了这骑士 败局已铸成
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost
败了这场仗 王国终倾覆
And all for the want of a horse shoe nail
皆因那枚蹄铁钉
There is a hole in front of the shovel
铁锹前端破了个洞
Shovel in front of the brawn
蛮力前横着把破锹
Six billion gorillas for whom the graves yawn
六十亿只猩猩 坟墓正对他们张开大口
Each withered his mule-ish days to choose his tool of trade
每人都虚度驴般岁月 选择自己的谋生工具
Dueling blades that cue the cruel charade and fuel the flames
交锋的刀锋 上演残酷闹剧 助长烈焰
If you would clue the crew into the civil
若你想让众人明白文明真谛
Just get the food and
只需获取食物
Land like you the man who flew the coop over the pit-bulls
像那个逃离恶犬掌控的飞人般着陆
Dash back flashy to compassionate nano police
华丽转身投奔仁慈的纳米警察
Sat beneath an avalanche and jagged inadequacies
端坐在雪崩与尖锐缺陷之下
And I would stop the violence more than I was Pontius Pilate
我本可阻止暴行 远胜彼拉多的冷漠
Cops and robbers riot by the vows of noxious sirens
警匪在毒雾警笛中 践踏誓约掀起骚乱
A is gullible he figure all man equal no brainer
天真的A以为众生平等 这道理不言自明
Take it his friends and neighbors didn't cater
却不知邻里亲朋 从未对他施以援手
Moms raised the babies through a very church-y eighties
母亲们在虔诚的八十年代 将婴孩抚养成人
Sunday mornings reinforced the waiting gates of Hades
主日晨光里 地狱之门在等待中愈发坚固
And he brazen but apparently inferno bound now
他狂妄自大 如今显然已坠向烈焰
For when a man of cloth recite his wrongs he wouldn't bow down
当神父历数他的罪孽 他竟不肯低头忏悔
The punishment should fit the reasons you must punish him
惩罚应当与罪行相称
Never puncture skin or pull the colored rugs from under them
莫要伤及肌肤 莫要抽走他们脚下的彩毯
Two opposing mother ships shall not employ the gunner's deck
两艘对峙的母舰 切莫动用炮台
Cause brotherhoods of public good do not employ the unctuous in you
因公益之盟 不纳谄媚之徒
Observing how the giveth is disproportionate to the taketh away decide to maketh his day
眼见施与取失衡 便决定成全他的"好日子"
All the stoic odium glowing a coal holster
坚忍的憎恨如炭火在枪套中燃烧
When he coulda stood easily in the tub juggling toasters
他本可在浴缸里轻松把玩烤面包机
No mountain too high
无山不可攀
No city too far
无城不可达
No coma tonight
今夜无昏迷
No city tomorrow
明日无城邦
No fire too live
无火不可燃
No city too charred
无城不可焚
No treaty to sign
无约可签订
No city to guard
无城需守护
I pick the phone up with a grown-up mode approach
我以成熟姿态接起电话
Skin crawlin off the drawl and
言语间令人毛骨悚然
Now it clawed the awkward tone up
此刻尴尬气氛蔓延
I'd known it wasn't roses but hoped it was less corrosive
早知不是玫瑰 却未料腐蚀如此剧烈
Coast in to the focus of the grossest diagnosis like
沉入这最肮脏的诊断焦点
Holmes the barnacles that chew upon the flesh of man
如同啃噬人肉的藤壶
Have clued into suitor as capital to a beggars hand
将求爱者当作乞丐的资本
Comfortably sung a stubborn legacy of gluttony
安于吟唱贪婪的顽固遗毒
With carnivores that burrow like hunters into the blood and meat
如同猎手般钻入血肉的贪婪者
Umm what

The Jenny chin up and the city picked her sinning pen up let her numb the spitting stigma
珍妮昂起头 城市拾起她的罪恶之笔 让她麻痹流言蜚语
Along came a spider sold her eggs to any buyer
蜘蛛爬来 将毒卵售予每个买主
Now the shooter in back is six legs wider than the driver
如今后座的枪手比司机多出六条腿
If you make no friends on the way to the top rung
若你攀爬时不曾结交盟友
There is no secret handshake club I do not give a f**k
哪来秘密握手会 我根本不屑一顾
But know the cancers make the olive branches obviously standard
须知癌变早已将橄榄枝腐蚀成标配
So when they extend from the yachts and mansions drop your cannons
当游艇豪宅伸出炮管 瞄准你的防线
All kings hang em for the cliff side drip dry
权贵们将帝王悬于崖边风干
Will he clip to zip line or slip for his final dip dive
他是抓住滑索逃生 还是坠入深渊
If he live will he survive the milligrams of middle ground
若幸存 能否熬过中庸之道的毒剂
They pump into the pinstripe pentagrams over tinsel town
他们向浮华之城注入条纹五芒星的针剂
Or kill a man who trickled down the city with his scissors out as sickles
或杀死那个持剪刀如镰刀 渗入街巷的狂人
Dipped in military hells bells and whistles
浸染着军狱丧钟与警笛的锈迹
Riders to the east
东方的骑手们
Now the wild tribes
如今蛮族肆虐
Thank you for the peace on earth and mercy mild high
感谢你赐予世间和平与仁慈宽厚
No mountain too high
无山不可攀
No city too far
无城不可达
No coma tonight
今夜无昏迷
No city tomorrow
明日无城邦
No fire too live
无火不可燃
No city too charred
无城不可焚
No treaty to sign
无约可签订
No city to guard
无城需守护
And all for the want of a horse shoe nail
皆因那枚蹄铁钉
