以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I wish you'd known me when I was alive

I was a funny feller

The crowd would hoot and holler for more
观众们欢呼雀跃 渴求更多表演
I wore a drunk's red nose for applause
我戴着醉汉的红鼻头 只为换取掌声
Oh yes I was a comical priest
没错 我曾是个滑稽神父
With a joke for the flock and a hand up your fleece
用笑话哄骗信徒 顺手摸进你的羊毛
Drooling the drink and the lipstick and greasepaint
任由酒水 口红和油彩
Down the cardboard front of my dirty dog collar
顺着肮脏的牧师领 滴落在纸板戏服上
Now I'm dead now I'm dead now I'm dead
如今我已死去 我已死去 我已死去
Now I'm dead dead dead
如今我已逝去 逝去 逝去
And I'm going on to meet my reward
即将前往领取我的报应
I was scared I was scared I was scared I was scared
我曾恐惧 恐惧 恐惧 恐惧
Dead dead
逝去 逝去
He might of never heard God's Comic
他或许从未听闻上帝的玩笑
So there he was on a water bed
他就那样躺在水床上
Drinking a cola of a mystery brand
啜饮着无名可乐
Reading an airport novelette
翻阅机场买的通俗小说
Listening to Andrew Lloyd Webber's requiem
聆听着安德鲁·洛伊·韦伯的安魂曲
He said before it had really begun
他在一切尚未真正开始时说道
I prefer the one about my son
我更钟爱那首关于我儿子的歌谣
I've been wading through all this unbelievable
我艰难跋涉穿过这些难以置信的
Junk and wondering if I should have given
垃圾堆 思索着是否应该将
The world to the monkeys
这个世界交给猴子们
Now I'm dead now I'm dead now I'm dead
如今我已死去 我已死去 我已死去
Now I'm dead dead
如今我已逝去
And I'm going on to meet my reward
即将前往领取我的报应
I was scared I was scared I was scared I was scared

Dead dead
逝去 逝去
He might of never heard God's Comic

I'm going to take a little trip
我将踏上短暂旅程
Down Paradise's endless shores
沿着天堂无尽的彼岸
They say that travel broadens the mind
人们说旅行能开阔心灵
'Til you can't get your head out of doors
直到你无法逃离这方寸之地
I'm sitting here on the top of the world
我端坐于世界之巅
I hang around in the longest night
徘徊在无尽长夜
Until each beast has gone bed and then I say
待众生入眠后轻声道
God bless and turn out the light
愿主保佑 熄灯安寝
While you lie in the dark afraid
当你在黑暗中恐惧颤抖
To breathe and you beg and you promise
屏息祈求 立誓许诺
And you bargain and you plead
讨价还价 苦苦哀求
Sometimes you confuse me with Santa Claus
有时你们把我误认作圣诞老人
It's the big white beard I suppose
大概是因为这雪白的大胡子
I'm going up to the pole where you folks die of cold
我要前往你们冻毙的极寒之地
I might be gone for a while if you need me
若需要我 我或许会离开很久
Now I'm dead now I'm dead now I'm dead
如今我已死去 我已死去 我已死去
Now I'm dead dead and you're all
如今我已成亡魂 而你们终将
Going on to meet your reward
