Written by：Sting

They're seriously saying it's prolonging me life
他们郑重其事地说这能延续我的生命
If I'll only submit to the surgical knife
只要我甘愿躺上手术台任人宰割
What are the odds on a month or a week
赌场即将关门歇业时
When the betting shop's closing its doors so to speak
押注一周或一月存活几率有何意义
When you're laid like a piece of old meat on a slab
当你像块腐肉摊在砧板上
And they cut and they slice and they poke and they jab
任人切割穿刺 戳弄扎刺
And they'll grill ye and burn ye and wish ye good health
他们炙烤灼烧 还要祝你安康
With their radium chemo and God knows what else
用放疗化疗和天知道什么鬼把戏
Well ye can't fault the science though the logic is weak
科学虽无谬 逻辑却牵强
Is it really an eternal life we should seek
永恒的生命 当真值得向往
That ship has sailed that ship has sailed
那艘船已远航 那艘船已远航
That ship has already sailed so to speak
可以说 那艘船早已驶向远方
You must finish the work son
儿啊 你必须完成未尽的事业
We're trying father
我们正在努力 父亲
I don't mean the men I mean you
我指的不是旁人 而是你
You came home for a reason now get to it
你归来必有缘由 现在就去实现它
Finish this labor son finish this task
完成这份使命吧 孩子 完成这项任务
And you'll find absolution if ye do as I ask
若你遵从我的嘱托 必将获得救赎
Remember your father look after your son
铭记你的父亲 照顾好你的孩子
He's the bridge to the future when all's said and done
当一切尘埃落定 他将是通往未来的桥梁
I came home for a reason that I couldn't see
我归家自有缘由 却始终未能参透
It was easier fighting the storms out at sea
与海上风暴搏斗反而更显轻松
Yet I'm tied to the wheelhouse till I put this right
我仍坚守在舵室 直到纠正这一切
But the ship of my heart wasn't built for this fight
可我心灵之舟 本不该卷入这场战役
But when the ship sails and the course has been set
当航船启程 航线已确定
And the wind's in the offing and the sails have been let
顺风扬起帆 蓄势待发时
And the hatches are full and the hull doesn't leak
货舱已满载 船身无裂隙
And the ship is all ready for sail so to speak
整装待发的船 即将远行
I'm tired and I'm fading losing the light
我疲惫不堪 光芒渐消散
I've no way to tell if it's day or it's night
昼夜难分辨 混沌度时光
Follow your heart it's the harbor ye seek
追随你内心 寻找避风港
And this ship is ready to sail
这艘船已准备好启航
This ship is ready to sail
这艘船已准备好启航
This ship is ready to sail
这艘船已准备好启航
So to speak
可以这么说
