The Last Resort (Live On MTV, 1994) - Eagles

Lyrics by：Don Henley/Glenn Frey

Composed by：Don Henley/Glenn Frey

She came from Providence the one in Rhode Island
她从普罗维登斯来 罗德岛的那个普罗维登斯
Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air
那里残留着旧时代的阴影 在浑浊的空气中还可以闻得到
She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee
她将自己的希望和梦想匆匆装进包裹狼狈得像个难民
Just as her father came across the sea
就如同她父亲穿过大海来到这里一样
She heard about a place people were smilin'
她在一个地方听到人们在笑
They spoke about the red man's way how they loved the land
他们谈论着红种人的迁徙道路 以及印第安人是多么爱他们的土地
And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide
他们从各地汇聚在此 到大分水岭
Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide
寻找一片立足之地 或仅仅是一个避难所
Down in the crowded bars out for a good time
在喧闹的酒吧里慢慢堕落 毫无顾忌地寻欢作乐
Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there
迫不及待地想要对你倾诉 那云上的日子是怎样
And they called it paradise I don't know why
他们管那儿叫天堂 但我无法理解
Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high
山越来越少 镇子却越来越多
Then the chilly winds blew down across the desert
阵阵寒风吹过 越过荒漠
Through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu
穿过海岸线上的峡谷 一直吹到了马里布的海滩旅馆
Where the pretty people play hungry for power
那里考究的人们正游戏人间 却依然不满足现有的力量
To light their neon way and give them things to do
来发现他们新的找乐方式 或是打发无聊时光
Some rich man came and raped the land nobody caught 'em
有钱人夺走了土地 我们却无能为力
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and Jesus people bought 'em
耶稣被束缚在丑陋的盒子里 作为商品卖给无知的人们
And they called it paradise the place to be
他们管那儿叫天堂 在那个地方
They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea
他们看着朦胧的太阳沉入大海
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina
你可以将这些事都抛诸脑后 渡海到莱海纳港口
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago
就像多年以前的传教士一样
They even brought a neon sign Jesus is coming
他们一度带去了新的福音
Brought the white man's burden down brought the white man's reign
也带去了白人的奴役之苦和白人的统治
Who will provide the grand design
是谁描绘了这样伟大的蓝图
What is yours and what is mine
是你还是我
'Cause there is no more new frontier
再也没有新的边疆了
We have got to make it here
我们只有在这里建立新的国度
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds
我们永不知足的需求来为我们的杀戮作辩护
In the name of destiny and in the name of God
还以为这是命中注定 或是以上帝的名义
And you can see them there on Sunday morning
你能在每个星期天的早晨见到他们
Stand up and sing about what it's like up there
他们肃立歌颂那失去的东西
They called it paradise I don't know why
他们管那儿叫天堂 但我无法理解
You call some place paradise kiss it goodbye
你的天堂又该是何模样 还是吻别吧
