Animal - Ani Difranco

Animal - Ani Difranco
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
More and more there is this animal
内心深处有只野兽在苏醒
Looking out through my eyes
正透过我的眼眸窥探世间
At all the traffic on the road to nowhere
凝望车流涌向虚无的远方
At all the shiny stuff around to buy
打量琳琅满目的浮华商品
At all the wires in the air
数着空中密布的电缆蛛网
At all the people shopping
观察人群重复采购着
For the same blank stare
同样空洞的眼神
At america the drastic
见证美利坚的癫狂
That isolated geographic
那片与世隔绝的地理区域
That＇s become infested with millionaires
如今已被百万富翁们占据
When you grow up surrounded
当你成长的环境里
By willful ignorance
充斥着固执的无知
You have to believe
你必须相信
Mercy has its own country
慈悲自有它的国度
And that it＇s round and borderless
它圆融无界 没有疆域
And then you have to grow wings
于是你必须长出翅膀
And rise above it all
超越这一切束缚
Like there
就像那里
Where that hawk is circling
盘旋的鹰隼
Above that strip mall
俯视着商业街的荒芜
More and more there is this animal
内心深处有只野兽在苏醒
Looking out through my eyes
正透过我的眼眸窥探世间
Seeing that animals only take from this world
注视着世间生灵只知索取不休
What they need to survive
他们赖以生存的必需品
But she is prowling through all the religions of men
而她正穿梭于人类各种信仰之间
Seeing that time and time and time again
一次次见证着
Their gods have made them
他们的神明将他们
Special and above
塑造得与众不同
Nature＇s law
凌驾于自然法则之上
And the respect thereof
却无视应有的敬畏
And I think when you grow up surrounded
我想当你成长在这样的环境中
By willful ignorance
充斥着固执的无知
You have to believe that mercy has its own country
你必须相信慈悲自有国度
And that it＇s round and borderless
它圆融无界 没有疆域
And then you just grow wings
而后你将生长出翅膀
And rise above it all
超越这一切束缚
Like there where that hawk is circling
如那盘旋的苍鹰
Above that strip mall
俯视着商业街的荒芜
Ask any eco-system
去问每一片生态系统
Harm here is harm there
此处的伤害亦是彼处的伤害
And there and there
蔓延各处 无处不在
And aggression begets aggression
暴力只会滋生更多暴力
It＇s a very simple lesson
这是亘古不变的简单真理
That long preceded any king of heaven
早在所谓天国君王出现前就已存在
And there＇s this brutal imperial power
而这份残暴的帝国强权
That my passport says I represent
虽印在我的护照上成为我的标签
But it will never represent where my heart lives
却永远无法代表我心灵真正的归宿
Only vaguely where it went
只隐约记得它去向何方
Cuz I know when you grow up surrounded
因为当你成长在
By willful ignorance
充斥着固执的无知
You learn that mercy has its own country
你会明白怜悯自有其国度
And that it＇s round and borderless
它圆融无界 没有疆域
And then you just grow wings
而后你将生长出翅膀
And rise above it all
超越这一切束缚
Like there
就像那里
Where that hawk is circling
盘旋的鹰隼
Above that strip mall
俯视着商业街的荒芜
