Song of the Stoic - Suzanne Vega (苏珊·薇格)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I am a man
我是个平凡男人
I've been working all my days
终日劳作不曾停歇
This is my accounting
这是我的人生清算
Of my means and of my ways
关于我的所得与所行
More years are behind me now
如今，逝去的岁月已然更多
Than years that are ahead
远胜过眼前的光阴
Looking back I feel
回首时我感受到
This is my story to be said
这是我欲倾诉的故事
I faced my father down
我直面父亲
Inside the hallway of our home
在家中那条熟悉的走廊
18 years of pain
十八年的伤痛
Upon my body to the bone
深深烙印在我骨血之中
Demons lived inside of him
心魔盘踞在他体内
They forced him to the act
驱使他做出那般举动
The layers of the bruises
层叠的伤痕
To my body was the fact
是我身上真实的印记
Ooooh

I grew and went into the world
我已长大，步入尘世
I learned to know it's code
谙熟世间法则
Of spoken and unspoken
明语暗喻皆洞悉
And I learned to love the road
亦爱上这漫漫长路
I shoulder every burden like
我肩负所有重担，一如
A mule with a heavy pack
负重前行的老骡
Every coin I earn is another
每一分所得，都如同又一份珍宝
Knot within my back
背脊深处的纠结
Ecstasy and pleasure come
狂喜与欢愉随之而来
At much too great a cost
代价何其沉重
I keep myself upon the earth
我将自己坚守于尘世
But measure what I've lost
却衡量我所失去
Winged things they brush against me
展翅之物轻拂而过
Never mine to hold
终究无法挽留
I keep my eyes upon the ground
我低垂双眼凝视大地
And carry on as old
如旧日般继续前行
I met a woman
我邂逅一位佳人
She had the gifted touch
她拥有一双天赐的巧手
Her hands were wise with healing
她妙手回春 充满智慧
And with wonder and all such
亦能创造奇迹与种种美好
As the fates would have it
也许是命运使然
Each to others we are wed
我们彼此结为连理
We confine ourselves to friendship
我们只将关系停留在友谊
And we stay out of the bed
始终保持着距离
Now I turn around to face
如今我转身直面
The specter of my age
岁月的幽灵
My soul it fights my body
我的心神与躯壳搏斗
Like a bird will fight its cage
恰似困鸟挣脱樊笼
I see that last horizon
我望见那最后的彼岸
I hope it brings me peace
愿它能予我安宁
I look forward to the day
我期盼着那一天
At last my body knows release
我的身躯终将获得解脱
Ooooh

Ooooh
