Bunsho - Van Der Graaf Generator
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I'd just done the best work
我刚刚完成最得意的作品
To fall into my hands for quite some time
这是许久以来最令我倾心的创作
Of night oil I'd burned much
无数个夜晚挑灯奋战
Made sure both style and content were sublime
确保形式与内涵皆臻完美
So I put it forward
于是我满怀期待
To the public forum
将它呈现在公众面前
In anticipation of my due acclaim
静候应得的赞誉降临
And meanwhile by contrast
然而与此同时
I'd penned a eulogy pure workaday
我曾写下平淡无奇的悼词
Just hack work just dashed off
只是仓促拼凑的拙劣之作
Packed full of prolix puff and sad cliche
充斥着冗长浮夸与陈腐悲伤
No-one can really tell
无人能真正分辨
When their hand's been played out well
何时才算完美收场
And I don't even know
而我甚至无从知晓
How my own story goes
自己故事的走向
Or if it's worth a jot
是否还有丝毫价值
I can't see my stream
我无法看清自己的创作方向
What I thought was perfect
我原以为完美无缺的作品
What I thought was polished
我原以为精雕细琢的文字
No-one thought it worth much
却无人欣赏其价值
And they made that clear
他们的态度如此明确
What I thought was worthless
我原以为毫无价值的作品
Merely repetition
不过是陈词滥调的堆砌
Somehow tugged the heartstrings
莫名拨动了心弦
Brought them all to tears
惹得众人泪涟涟
I can't see my stream
我无法看清自己的创作方向
I can't see my stream
我无法看清自己的创作方向
I can't see my stream
我无法看清自己的创作方向
No-one can ever know
无人能真正知晓
What of their own's their very best
自己最杰出的作品是哪篇
