Clown Strike - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
She'll fix you with an iron 'cross
她会用铁十字将你钉住
And cover you up with petals
再用花瓣将你覆盖
And hang you up with some amber beads
用琥珀珠链将你悬挂
And four or five precious metals
再点缀四五种贵重金属
And in that black flamingo chair
在那黑色火烈鸟椅上
Youll sit among her trophies
你端坐于她的战利品中
And pray to be abandoned
祈求被彻底遗弃
Till you don't know what hope is
直到忘却希望为何物
But theres one thing that I had to keep inside
但有一件事我必须深藏心底
Because I was shaking
因为我颤抖不已
Why don't you get some pride
为何不找回你的尊严
There was a clown strike
小丑们开始罢工
And the clowns threw down their tools
他们纷纷丢下道具
But you don't have to play so hard
你无需卖力表演
And I'm nobodys fool
我并非任人愚弄
You don't have to go so far
你不必如此勉强
'Cause I love you as you are
因为我爱的就是最真实的你
The big top is deserted now
如今马戏团帐篷空无一人
And the circus girl rehearses
杂技女孩仍在反复练习
She knows how to turn their heads
她懂得如何吸引众人目光
And not fall between two horses
又能在双马之间保持平衡
But all that seems a simple step
但这一切看似简单的动作
If only I were able
多么希望我也能够做到
To love you like I want to do
像渴望的那样去爱你
And not by some times table
并非按部就班
But theres one thing
但有件事
That I had to keep inside
我必须深藏心底
Because I was shaking
因为我颤抖不已
Why don't you get some pride
为何不找回你的尊严
There was a clown strike
小丑们开始罢工
And the clowns threw down their tools
他们纷纷丢下道具
But you don't have to play so hard
你无需卖力表演
And I'm nobodys fool
我并非任人愚弄
You don't have to go so far
你不必如此勉强
'Cause I love you as you are
因为我爱的就是最真实的你
And it's pandemonium
这世界一片混乱
For the humble and the mighty
无论卑微还是显赫
You don't have to tumble for me
你不必为我屈膝
Even a clown knows when to strike
连小丑都懂得何时该罢工
Tell me what you want of me
告诉我你对我有何期许
Or are you terrified of failure
还是你畏惧失败降临
You put on a superstitious face
戴上了迷信的假面妆容
Behind all this paraphernalia
藏身于浮华装饰背后
Were not living in a Masquerade
我们并非活在假面舞会中
Where you only have three wishes
那里许愿仅有三次机会
It isn't easy to see
真相总是难以看清
In a lifetime of mistaken kisses
在充满错误亲吻的一生里
But theres one thing
但有件事
That I had to keep inside
我必须深藏心底
Because I was shaking
因为我颤抖不已
Why don't you get some pride
为何不找回你的尊严
There was a clown strike
小丑们开始罢工
And the clowns threw down their tools
他们纷纷丢下道具
But you don't have to play so hard
你无需卖力表演
And I'm nobodys fool
我并非任人愚弄
You don't have to go so far
你不必如此勉强
'Cause I love you as you are
因为我爱的就是最真实的你
In this pandemonium
在这片混沌之中
For the humble and the mighty
无论卑微还是显赫
You don't have to tumble for me
你不必为我屈膝
Even a clown knows when to strike
连小丑都懂得何时该罢工
