Ballad of Accounting - The Delgados

Ballad Of Accounting - The Delgados
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
In the morning we built this city
清晨我们筑起这座城
In the afternoon walked through it's streets
午后漫步在它的街巷
Evening saw us leaving
暮色中我们启程离去
We wandered through our days
漫不经心地虚度光阴
As if they would never end
仿佛时光永不终结
All of us imagined we had endless time to spend
都以为拥有挥霍不尽的年华
We hardly saw the crossroads and
几乎未曾留意人生岔路
Small attention gave to landmarks
对沿途风景也漠不关心
In the journey from the cradle to the grave
从摇篮到坟墓的人生旅途
Cradle to the grave cradle to the grave
从生到死 从生到死
Did you learn to dream in the morning
你可曾在清晨学会梦想
Abandon dreams in the afternoon
又在午后将梦想抛弃
Wait without hope in the evening
傍晚时分徒然等待
Did you stand there in the traces and let them feed you lies
你是否站在原地 任人用谎言喂养
Did you trail along behind them wearing blinkers on your eyes
你是否蒙着双眼 盲从他人身后
Did you kiss the foot that kicked you
你是否亲吻过践踏你的脚掌
Did you thank them for their scorn
你可曾感激他们的冷眼相待
Did you ask for their forgiveness for the act of being born
可曾乞求他们宽恕你降生人世的罪过
Act of being born act of being born
降生之罪 降生之罪
Did you alter the face of this city
你可曾改变这座城市的容颜
Did you make any change in the world you found
可曾在你发现的世界留下任何改变
Or did you observe all the warnings
还是谨小慎微地遵守所有告诫
Did you read this trespass notice that you keep off the grass
可曾读懂那块"禁止践踏草坪"的警示牌
Did you shuffle off the pavement just to let your betters pass
可曾退避人行道只为让权贵先行
Did you learn to keep your mouth shut
你是否学会缄默不语
To be seen and never heard
只被看见 不被倾听
Did you learn to be obedient
你是否学会唯命是从
And jump to an a word and jump to an a word
对每个指令言听计从 对每个指令言听计从
And jump to an a word
对每个指令言听计从
Did you ever demand any answers
你可曾追问过答案
The who and the what and the reason why
那些人物 事件 与缘由
Did you ever question the setup
可曾质疑过这既定规则
Did you stand aside and let them choose
你是否袖手旁观 任人摆布
While you took second best
甘愿屈居次席
Did you let them skim cream off
任由他们掠取精华
And then give to you the rest
再将残羹冷炙抛给你
Did you settle for the shoddy
你是否妥协于劣质品
Did you think it right to let them rob right and left
默许他们肆意掠夺
And never make a fight never make a fight
从未反抗 从未抗争
Never make a fight
从未挺身而出
What did you learn in the morning
晨光中你领悟了什么
How much did you know in the afternoon
午后时分你又知晓多少
Were you content in the evening
暮色里你是否感到满足
Did't you how to question
难道你从未学会质疑
When you were at the school
当你在学堂之时
Did the factory help you grow over you
工厂可曾助你突破桎梏
To make an ardor too
让你也燃起热忱
Did the place where you were living
你栖身的那方天地
Enrich your life with land
用土地滋养你的生命
Did you reach some understanding of all your fellow man
你是否真正理解过 所有同行的旅人
All your fellow man all your fellow man
所有同行的旅人 所有同行的旅人
