Material Possession - Peter Hammill

Material Possession - Peter Hammill
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Every loss a legacy
每一次失去都是传承
Every gain ill gotten
每一次获得都来路不正
The golden apples on the tree are all potentially rotten
树上金苹果终将腐朽
Pluck the fruit and bear no mind
采摘果实却毫不在意
So the poisonous bloom advances
任由毒花肆意蔓延
The hand that clasps too tight will never grasp it's chances
握得太紧的手终将错失良机
All the things that you've got will not be worth a lot
你所拥有的一切终将失去价值
If the owning becomes an obsession
若占有变成执念
Meaning nothing more than mere material possession
不过是物质财富 毫无意义可言
Broken lost the precious thing
破碎迷失 珍贵之物已消散
Does that make your life so empty
难道这让你的人生如此空虚
Stars shine alike upon the ditch and on the land of Plenty
繁星同样照耀贫瘠与富饶之地
The thing that's gone was always going to be gone
逝去的本就注定会消逝
What's left is some remembered pleasure
留下的只是些许回忆的欢愉
Only their loss confirms the things we ever learned to treasure
唯有失去才让我们懂得珍惜
And the things that you claim are only ever yours in name
你所宣称拥有的 不过是虚名而已
Do you think that they'll leave an impression
你以为这些会留下印记吗
Only flesh and bone are the true material possessions
唯有血肉之躯才是真实的财富
Your lighter's worth a watch
你的打火机抵得上一块表
Your watch would buy a car
你的表能换一辆车
Your car is worth a house with rooms to rattle round in
你的车值一栋空荡的大房子
Try to make the house a home
试着把房子变成家
That's yours and yours alone
只属于你一个人的家
You dredge a lake of dreams to fill
你挖掘梦的湖泊来填满它
With tears and drown in
泪眼朦胧 沉溺其中
Now the flame will soon be
如今火焰即将熄灭
Dowsed and time is running out
时光流逝 覆水难收
The wheel will turn full circle
命运之轮终将轮回
Then we'll all be foundlings
届时我们都将无依无靠
And all the things that we own are never ours alone
我们拥有的万物 从不真正属于我们
No they just pass through our hands in succession
它们只是在我们手中流转更迭
Shake the spirit shake the blood shake
震撼灵魂 沸腾热血
The flesh and shake the bone
挣脱皮囊与骨骼的束缚
Shake free from material possession
从物质占有中解脱
Every loss is treasure trove
每次失去都是珍贵宝藏
Every gain is faded
每次获得终将褪色
Every taste and every touch will finally be jaded
所有感官体验终将消逝
When in the end all life is spent
当生命走到尽头
What we bought was mere digression
我们购买的不过是歧途
The price we pay shaking free from material possession
为摆脱物质付出的代价
