Beyond Belief - Elvis Costello

Beyond Belief - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
History repeats the old conceits
历史重演着陈腐的傲慢
The glib replies the same defeats
轻率的回答 同样的败局
Keep your finger on important issues
将手指放在重要议题上
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues
用鳄鱼的眼泪和满口袋的纸巾
I'm just the oily slick
我不过是那层油滑的浮沫
On the windup world of the nervous tick
在这个紧张抽搐的发条世界
In a very fashionable hovel
在一间时髦的破屋里
I hang around dying to be tortured
我徘徊着 渴望被折磨
Youll never be alone in the bone orchard
你永远不会孤独地躺在荒冢之中
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel
与酒瓶的这场斗争并不新鲜
So in this almost empty gin palace
在这几乎空荡的杜松子酒宫殿里
Through a two-way looking glass
透过双面镜
You see your alice
你看见你的爱丽丝
You know she has no sense
你知道她毫无知觉
For all your jealousy
对你的嫉妒视若无睹
In a sense she still smiles very sweetly
但她依然甜美地微笑着
Charged with insults and flattery
满口谩骂与谄媚之词
Her body moves with malice
她举手投足间尽是恶意
Do you have to be so cruel to be callous
何必如此残忍才能这般麻木不仁
And now you find you
如今你发现自己
Fit this identikit completely
与这幅画像完美吻合
You say you have no secrets
声称毫无秘密
And then leave discreetly
却又悄然离去
I might make it californias fault
或许我该归咎于加州的错
Be locked in genevas deepest vault
被囚禁在日内瓦最深的地窖
Just like the canals of mars
如同火星的运河般荒芜
And the great barrier reef
又似大堡礁般隔绝
I come to you beyond belief
我带着难以置信的执念来到你身边
My hands were clammy and cunning
我的手掌潮湿而狡黠
She's been suitably stunning
她确实美得惊心动魄
But I know theres not a hope in hades
但我深知冥府中毫无希望
All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle
所有纨绔子弟都在轻佻地吹口哨
So-called gentlemen and ladies
所谓的绅士与淑女
Dog fight like rose and thistle
如玫瑰与蓟般撕咬缠斗
I've got a feeling
我已预感到
I'm going to get a lot of grief
将承受无尽煎熬
Once this seemed so appealing
曾经这般令人神往
Now I am beyond belief
如今却荒诞得难以置信
