Painting By Numbers (2007 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
It's not that complicated
这并不复杂
No more than a clench of fist -
不过攥紧拳头那般简单——
She want to paint her heart out
她只想倾注心血作画
She want to tell it as she sees it is
只想忠实描绘所见真相
Authority condemns her
权威却将她审判
They say to paint's a waste without a base
斥责她的创作是根基虚浮的浪费
Some bedrock of idea
需要某种思想基石
Painting by numbers doesn't add up
按部就班的绘画终将失去意义
Painting by numbers doesn't add up
按部就班的绘画终将失去意义
It's passionless bed-rest
这是没有激情的卧床休憩
Work-body that's headless
徒有躯壳却失去灵魂
A head that's without heart -
空有头脑却失了真心——
Painting by numbers doesn't add up to art
机械的临摹永远不是艺术
Her constant vows mean nothing
她反复的誓言毫无意义
Not content alone that sells -
不甘寂寞只为迎合市场——
The Market Theory beckons
商业理论在招手呼唤
No-one remembers what the story tells;
无人记得故事诉说的真相
No-one remembers passion
无人记得炽热情感
We just recite the line
我们只是机械重复着
That art is fine and fashion costly
艺术高雅而时尚昂贵
Painting by numbers doesn't add up;
按部就班的创作毫无意义
Safety in numbers put your hands up
随波逐流地举起双手
In mute surrender
在沉默中屈服投降
They'll break her or bend her
他们要么摧毁她 要么扭曲她
For the heart on her sleeve
只为她袒露的真心
Painting by numbers all the modern world believes
现代世界信奉的只是按数字填色
And the whole thing falls apart
于是整个体系分崩离析
When the movement's more important than the art;
当运动比艺术更重要时
When we're more concerned
当我们更在意
With what's been thought than said
被思考而非被表达的内容
This is the moment when the culture's dead
这便是文化消亡的时刻
It's not that complicated
这并不复杂
It's simple as can be:
其实再简单不过：
She want to paint her heart out
她只想倾注心血作画
They want a programme for the BBC
他们却要BBC的节目企划
Where academic critics can talk of art that's fine
让学院派批评家高谈精致艺术
Like holy wine - the Blessed Intellectuals
如圣酒般——那些神圣的知识分子
Painting by numbers doesn't add up;
按部就班的创作毫无意义
Safety in numbers put your hands up
随波逐流地举起双手
The poets from Venus assume that they've seen us -
金星来的诗人自以为看透我们
They're quick to depart
却匆匆离去
Painting by numbers doesn't add up to art
机械的临摹永远不是艺术
Painting by numbers doesn't add up;
按部就班的创作毫无意义
Safety in numbers put your hands up
随波逐流地举起双手
It's passionless bed-rest
这是没有激情的卧床休憩
Work-body that's headless
徒有躯壳却失去灵魂
A head that's without heart -
空有头脑却失了真心——
Painting by numbers doesn't add up to art
按部就班的创作 怎能称之为艺术
