Rehearsals For Retirement (Album Version) - Phil Ochs
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The days grow longer for smaller prizes
时光渐长 奖赏却愈发渺茫
I feel a stranger to all surprises
我像个过客 对惊喜无动于衷
You can have them I don't want them
你尽可拿去 这些我早已不稀罕
I wear a different kind of garment
如今披着截然不同的衣衫
In my rehearsals for retirement
在排练退休生活的独幕剧里
The lights are cold again they dance below me
寒光再度流转 在脚下翩跹
I turn to old friends they do not know me
转身望向故友 却形同陌路
All but the beggar he remembers
唯有那乞丐 仍记得我当年
I put a penny down for payment
我放下一枚硬币作为告别礼
In my rehearsals for retirement
在排练退休生活的独幕剧里
Had I known the end would end in laughter
若早知结局终将以欢笑收场
I tell my daughter it doesn't matter
我会告诉女儿这些都无关紧要
The stage is tainted with empty voices
舞台被空洞的声音玷污
The ladies painted they have no choices
浓妆艳抹的女士们别无选择
I take my colors from the stable
我从马厩中取走颜料
They lie in tatters by the tournament
它们散落在比武场的废墟中
In my rehearsals for retirement
在排练退休生活的独幕剧里
Where are the armies who killed a country
那些摧毁国家的军队去了哪里
And turned a strong man into a baby
将硬汉变成婴孩的又是谁
No comes the rabble they are welcome
如今乌合之众涌来 我坦然接纳
I wait in anger and amusement
带着愤怒与戏谑静静等待
In my rehearsals for retirement
在排练退休生活的独幕剧里
Had I known the end would end in laughter
若早知结局终将以欢笑收场
Still I tell my daughter that it doesn't matter
我仍会对女儿说 这一切都无关紧要
Farewell my own true love farewell my fancy
别了 我挚爱的幻想 别了 我的痴心
Are you still owing me love though you failed me
你是否还欠我一份爱 尽管你已辜负我
But one last gesture for her pleasure
但最后为她献上这份心意
I'll paint your memory on the monument
我将把你的回忆铭刻在纪念碑上
In my rehearsals for retirement
在排练退休生活的独幕剧里
