Respectable - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Ah it ain't so easy is it you almost lost your place
啊 这并不容易 你差点失去立足之地
And perhaps you're wondering
或许你正在疑惑
How you're going to cope with your disgrace
要如何面对这份耻辱
Well your wealth is well established
你的财富根基稳固
And your friends were never few
朋友也从不稀缺
And all the things they told you of you're finding to be true
他们告诉你的一切 如今都一一应验
Well if truth can free the guilty while the innocent must die
若真相能赦免罪人 而无辜者必须赴死
Then I respect respect respect the coldest lie
那我宁愿 宁愿 宁愿相信最冰冷的谎言
And you talk of human justice while you drive on fancy wheels
你高谈人间正义 却驾着豪车招摇过市
And you push them to their limit just to see how nice it feels
将油门踩到底 只为享受那快感滋味
Well it doesn't really matter if she's living or she's dead
她生死与否对你而言根本无关紧要
You just drive away forgetting
你扬长而去
That your bumper's dipped in red
任凭保险杠沾满血迹
Well if that's the kind of justice that our hall of justice claims
若这就是司法殿堂标榜的正义
Then I respect respect respect old jesse james
那我宁可致敬致敬致敬 老杰西·詹姆斯
And most cordially they caught you and they asked you to obey
他们彬彬有礼逮捕你 要你俯首认罪
And they threw you into prison just in case you could not pay
只因无力支付 便将你投入牢狱
Well king arthur jousted lancelot who stole away his wife
亚瑟王曾与夺妻的兰斯洛特决斗
And your lawyers jousted with the court to save your precious life
你的律师也在法庭角力 只为保全性命
Well if living is what matters though you lie with every breath
若苟活才是真理 纵使满口谎言
Then I respect respect the ones we put to death
我仍敬重那些被我们处决的灵魂
And you won your case most easily and soon you will be free
你轻松赢得诉讼 即将重获自由
But there will be a million more who lose their liberty
却有百万无辜者 将失去他们的自由
Not because of what they did but what they did not do
并非因其所为 而是因其无能为力
They did not pay a lawyer or a judge to see them through
他们无力聘请律师 也买不通法官垂怜
Why they had no friends to call on
为何连求助的朋友都没有
And they could not raise their bail
连保释金都凑不齐
Well if winning is what matters I respect the ones who fail
若成功才算正义 我敬重那些败者尊严
