Desert Island Questionnaire - Conor Oberst
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Say that you were stranded on a desert island
假设你被困在荒岛之上
What books you gonna bring
会带哪些书启程
What friends would tag along
哪些朋友愿与你同行
Say you had a month you knew you were dying
若生命只剩最后三十天
How'd you spend your time
你将如何度过时光
What goodbyes would take too long
哪些告别会太过漫长
You don't like this game and you take exception
你厌恶这个残酷游戏
Who wants all this trouble even hypothetical
谁愿承受这般折磨 即便只是假想
With the charging sky above
头顶是翻涌的苍穹
And the ground below that could swallow everyone
脚下是吞噬众生的深渊
Staring at your phone at another party
在又一个派对盯着手机屏幕
Spent a lot on clothes
挥霍重金购置华服
Got a lot of skin to show
袒露大片肌肤
People in the pool like a drowning army
泳池人群如溺水的军团
Smoke along the moats
护城河畔烟雾缭绕
And the hotel lobby glows
酒店大堂灯火妖娆
Wish that you could dance but you got no partner
多想翩翩起舞 却无人共舞
Keep tapping on your glass
轻叩酒杯声声
Cause you wanna make a toast
为这浮世干杯
To the ennui of our times
敬这时代的倦怠
To the selfishness in everyone you know
敬你识得的众生自私
Made a lot of friends but they can't be trusted
结交满座宾朋 却无人可信
Don't know what their angle is
难辨笑里藏刀
Post up at the bar and I'm double-fisting
倚在吧台边 我双手各执一杯酒
Talking to a mannequin
对着橱窗模特自言自语
Don't know what it means when he takes my pulse
当他搭上我的脉搏 我不懂其中深意
And says that I'm a lot like him
却说我和他如出一辙
I say that's fair enough
我说这倒也公平
That's why I'm trying to loosen up
所以我才试图放松自己
Every lunatic must be well-intentioned
每个疯子想必都怀着善意
Sets himself apart
将自己与世隔绝
He's an instrument of God
他是上帝的使徒
He took her from the playground
他将她从游乐场带走
To the farmhouse cellar
带往农舍的地窖
Kissed her while he killed her
在杀害她时亲吻她
Like a good Samaritan
如同一个善心的撒玛利亚人
They finally found her body many autumns after
多年后的秋天 他们终于找到了她的遗体
Interviewed her mother
采访她的母亲
Said she'd now be twenty-one
说如今她该有二十一岁
And although we lost her young
尽管她年少离世
I know the good lord has a plan for all of us
我知仁慈的主为众生都备好归途
Mormons at the door they look clean and handsome
摩门教徒登门拜访 衣冠楚楚仪表堂堂
Always have a good sales pitch
总带着精心准备的布道辞章
Your little sister swears she can read my aura
你妹妹坚称能窥见我灵魂的光晕
But I can't take her serious
这般童言稚语教我如何当真
Need something to blame for this human nature
总想为这人性弱点寻个归咎的由头
Is that what this condition is
莫非这就是所谓的天命难酬
I'm so bored with my life
我对生活感到如此厌倦
But I'm still afraid to die
却依然畏惧死亡降临
Everyone's asleep in this burning building
整栋燃烧的楼里众人沉睡
And I can't wake them up in time
而我无法及时将他们唤醒
You go on ahead I'll be right behind you
你先前行 我随后就到
We're headed to the finish line
我们正奔向终点线
I can't get closer
我无法再靠近一步
Until this is over
直到这一切都结束
Pretend that you were stranded on a desert island
假设你被困在荒无人烟的孤岛
What would be the message
你会拼出怎样的讯息
That you'd spell out for the plane
向飞过的飞机传递求救信号
Say the engine failed when that plane was flying
若飞机引擎突然在空中失灵
If you were the pilot
倘若你是驾驶员
Would you curse or would you pray
你会咒骂命运还是虔诚祈祷
No one's gonna cry at this John Doe funeral
这场无名葬礼无人落泪哀悼
Not a lot to say didn't even have a name
生平乏善可陈 连姓名都无从知晓
Light a candle just in case he was someone's friend
点燃蜡烛 或许他曾是谁的挚友
Throw some flowers on the grave
在坟前撒下几瓣残花
