Golden Promises (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Besieged in the battlements of Babylon
被困在巴比伦的城垛之中
Still looking for the hat-peg to hang your head upon
仍在寻找悬挂头颅的衣钩
Now you've found a place you think is Avalon
如今你自以为找到了阿瓦隆仙境
You can talk to anyone here
在这里你可以与任何人交谈
You can throw your arms around your nearest neighbour
可以拥抱最近的陌生人
And the smiling ones'll tell you that you've saved her
那些笑脸会告诉你你拯救了她
That she's saved you
她也拯救了你
They offer the golden promises
他们献上金色的承诺
The instantly divine;
那瞬间的神圣幻象
You swallow the golden promises
你吞下镀金的承诺
Hook sinker and line
连同鱼钩铅坠与钓线
If you choose to throw your soul around the attitude
若你任由灵魂在虚妄中游荡
Reasoning and independent thought go down the tube
理性与独立思考便付诸东流
As you go slavening after every inane platitude
当你卑躬屈膝追逐每个空洞陈词
How weak you find yourself here
此刻你发现自己何等脆弱
Do you really need to lose yourself completely
难道真要彻底迷失自我
How come you seem to rate it all so cheaply
为何你如此轻信这些廉价承诺
It's so weak-kneed
这般软弱无力
To go for the golden promises
竟追逐那些镀金的誓言
Mail-order holy vows
邮购来的神圣盟约
You go for the golden promises
你沉迷于虚幻的金色承诺
I think you really ought to know better by now
此刻你早该看清真相
So I do my best and I do my nut
我竭尽全力 几近崩溃
I try to explain all these angles
试图阐明这重重迷局
But you turn away
但你却转身离去
Oh now you're looking in the white of my eyes
此刻你直视我的双眼
And you know what I'm going to say
你已明白我将要说的话
Don't go for the golden promises
别被那些金色的承诺迷惑
Don't go for the easy way
别选择那条看似轻松的路
It's right here on the doorstep
真正的答案就在眼前
Fool's gold don't throw your life away
虚妄的财富 别就此虚度一生
