Gone Ahead - Peter Hammill

Gone Ahead - Peter Hammill
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
We bite off our tongues
我们咬住自己的舌头
While chewing the fat;
却仍在闲谈不休
Though the fire in our lungs is celestial
尽管肺腑之言炽热如天火
Our delivery falls flat
表达却总苍白无力
Would a time come to be silent
沉默是否终将到来
Oh we never spoke of that
啊 我们从未谈及这个
We talked out of turn
我们总是贸然开口
In the school of hard knocks;
在生活的严酷课堂里
Although willing to learn from experience
尽管愿意从经历中汲取教训
It still comes as a shock
沉默时刻仍令人猝不及防
When the time comes to be silent
当缄默成为唯一选择
One by one the jaws all drop
众人皆惊 哑口无言
The voice is still clear in my head;
脑海中声音依旧清晰
It's the last word in monologue
却化作独白的最后残响
Close-up interior night
特写镜头 深夜独处
Mmm

The voices alive in my head
脑海中回荡的声音
Are all tongue-tied to silence now
如今都沉默无言
It's the darkest of moods
这是最黑暗的情绪
It's the cruellest of jokes
这是最残酷的玩笑
That this facility I used once so fluent
曾经如此流畅的表达能力
Is cut out at a stroke
突然被一刀切断
And the time came to be silent
当核心连接断裂时
As the core connection broke
沉默的时刻已然来临
Absurd ineloquence
荒谬的笨拙表达
My own words on which I choke
自己的话语哽咽在喉
Swallowing deep on the thread
深深咽下那根细线
So much I'm losing now
此刻我正失去太多
So many things left unsaid
太多未尽之言
And the voice I've been using is
而我惯用的声音
Gone ahead
早已远去
