A Man Of Great Promise - The Style Council

A Man Of Great Promise - The Style Council
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I bought the paper yesterday
昨日我买来报纸
And I saw the obituary
在讣告栏里看见你
And I read of how you died in pain
读到你痛苦离世的消息
Well I just couldn't understand it
我始终无法释怀
If I could of changed that
若时光能够倒流
Then Lord knows I'd do it now
我定会改写结局
But there is no going back
可惜往事不可追
And what's done is done forever
逝去的永不复还
But you were always chained
但你始终被枷锁禁锢
And shackled by the dirt
被世俗的尘埃束缚
Of every small town institution
每个小镇的陈旧教条
And every big town flirt
每座都市的虚情假意
And I think of what you might have been
我总想象你本可成为的模样
A man of such great promise
一个前程似锦的英才
Oh but you seem to forget the dream
啊 可你似乎遗忘了梦想
And the more you saw you hated
越是看清 越是憎恶
But let's not talk of blame
何必再论是非对错
For what is only natural
这本是人之常情
Like a moth going to a flame
如飞蛾扑向焰火
You had a dangerous passion
你怀揣危险的炽热
But you were always chained
但你始终被枷锁禁锢
And shackled by the dirt
被世俗的尘埃束缚
Of every small town institution
每个小镇的陈旧教条
And every big town flirt
每座都市的虚情假意
All the things that you might have been
你本可成就的万千可能
But who am I to say
我又何资格妄加评断
Still I wonder
仍不禁思忖
If it's the cold earth you prefer to lay
是否冰冷的泥土才是你安息的向往
If it's the cold earth you prefer to stay
是否冰冷的永眠才是你最终的归处
