International Echo - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The streets were deserted and the house was dark
街道空荡 房屋漆黑
Down in the basement there was the faintest spark
地下室中 微光闪烁
Three boys hoping to make their mark
三个少年 渴望留下印记
International echo
国际回声
They said it was nothing but a worthless toy
他们说这不过是无用的玩具
Sign right here and you can be employed
签下名字 你就能获得工作
Woke up startled in the state of joy
惊醒时 满心欢喜
International echo
国际回声
The roof is shaking and the house is ablaze
屋顶震颤 房屋燃起熊熊烈火
I've been wide-awake for days
我已数日未眠 清醒如昼
I thought I heard a signal breaking through
恍惚听见穿透迷雾的信号
At this distance that is hard to do
这般遥远的距离实难捕捉
Could be seven inches could be twelve
或许是七寸 抑或十二寸波长
Drop the needle on it and let it revolve
落下唱针任其旋转流淌
I felt a pulse and a drum tattoo
我触到脉搏与鼓点的烙印
I was just thinking about you
此刻心中唯念你模样
Send out a message and it's sure to rebound
传递出的讯息必将回荡四方
What's that I hear and what' s that sound
隐约听见什么 那是什么声响
Seems to be coming from under the ground
仿佛正从地底深处传来震荡
International echo
国际回声
It can't be repeated it can't be resisted
无法被复刻 亦难以阻挡
It went out straight it came back twisted
笔直发射却带着曲折回响
If you didn't see it their then you probably missed it
若你当时未见 便永远错过这光芒
International echo
国际回声
Must be something in the atmosphere
空气中定有玄机
Let me be your volunteer
让我成为你的信徒
I thought I heard a signal coming through
仿佛听见穿越而来的信号
In a language that I never knew
以我从未知晓的语言
Give me seven inches give me twelve
给我七寸 再给我十二寸
Drop the needle on it and let it revolve
落下唱针任其旋转流淌
I felt a pulse and a drum tattoo
我触到脉搏与鼓点的烙印
Even though it was taboo
即便这被视为禁忌
Solo
独奏
Well they paid me money for playing pretend
他们付钱让我假装表演
Then they said that it must be the end
又宣称这该是终点
But I was just following the popular trend
而我不过追随潮流表象
International echo
国际回声
The beer from the bottle wine from the grape
瓶中的啤酒 葡萄酿的酒
I stood up straight got bent out of shape
我挺直腰杆 却被现实压弯
Now I'm just looking for some way to escape
此刻只想寻找逃离的港湾
International echo
国际回声
But everything I said just seems automatic
可我说过的话都像机械重复
The radio plays nothing but static
收音机里只剩嘈杂电流
I think that I'm about to flip my lid
我感觉理智即将崩溃
My waitress said that she might be my kid
女侍应生说她可能是我女儿
And give me seven inches give me twelve
给我七寸 再给我十二寸
Well drop the needle on it and let it revolve
轻轻放下唱针 让它旋转不息
Did you hear me calling you
你可听见我的呼唤
'Cause hear I go
因为此刻我将启程
International echo echo
国际回声 声声回荡
Solo
独奏
The streets were deserted the house was dark
街道空无一人 屋内漆黑一片
Down in the basement there's the faintest spark
地下室深处闪烁着微弱的火花
Three boys hoping to make their mark
三个少年 渴望留下印记
International echo
国际回声
