The State - Derek Webb

The State - Derek Webb/Joshua moore
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I was free to live and love
我曾自由地生活与爱恋
And kill as I saw fit
也曾随心夺取生命
I was at peace there really was
那时我内心安宁
No one I was at war with
与世间无争无斗
The only common good
唯一的共识是
Was that we understood
我们心照不宣
That laws unjust
不公正的法律
Were only good for breaking
生来就该被打破
That difference legalized instead of sameness
法律认可差异而非统一
Left nobody free
却无人真正自由
That was the day before
那是从前的日子
I married my conscience to the state
当我将良知与国家捆绑
My taxes paid these roads were laid
我纳税铺就的道路
To places of my choosing
通往心之所向
There were no eyes up in the skies
那时没有天上的眼睛
Looking down into my bed
窥探我的床榻
There was no government without our consent
未经我们同意 政府便不复存在
Keys were made for anyone who just claimed it
钥匙只为宣称拥有的人而打造
And glass was all of every wall that framed it
透明玻璃筑成所有围墙的框架
From sea to shining sea
从海岸到闪耀的海岸
But that was the day before
但那已是往昔岁月
I married my conscience to the state
当我将良知与国家捆绑
Right and wrong were written on my heart
是非对错深深刻在我心
And not just in the laws that condemn me
不再只是审判我的冰冷律法
But now with Caesar satisfied I can even do the things
但如今凯撒已满意 我甚至能做那些
That should offend me
本会令我反感的事
