Flowin’ Prose - Beastie Boys

I'm flowing prose to cons and cons to pros
我在正反之间流淌诗行
I'm scheming rhyme against reason like it was flow against know
以韵律对抗理性 如同以流动对抗认知
But beyond the concepts and emotions that rise
但超越那些升腾的概念与情感
To the interconnectedness that underlies
直达万物互联的本质真相
The lies upon lies have lost their meaning
层层谎言已失去意义
The plies upon plies of consciousness that is being
意识的重重帷幕正在揭开
Over and over I fall I learned to walk from a crawl
跌倒又爬起 从蹒跚学步开始
It's not sad it's just the way and the purpose of it all
并非悲哀 这正是生命的意义所在
Now every word that you heard that I said that you felt
每句你听见的话语 都曾在我心间流转
Was put in place in the space as they were shuffled and dealt
如洗牌般精心排列 在时空里妥帖安放
I steal feels from reels but I pay my respects
我窃取胶片里的悸动 却始终心怀敬意
Paying compliments and disses and deciphering affects
在赞美与嘲讽间 破译情感的密码
Words are water as I court her as she is pristine
言语似水 我追逐她澄澈的灵魂
Words and mics fall to dust and all that's left is the feelings
当词句与麦克风化为尘埃 唯留悸动永恒
I give in and I win I try to never complain
我臣服于此刻 在胜利中学会不怨尤
Intentions venture to center and then they set the stage
意念深入核心 构筑舞台框架
But I'll remain sane making gain without pain
我仍清醒前行 无痛收获成长
Staining trains with names and driving lanes to the refrain
以名烙印轨迹 循韵驰骋车道
And keep it positive as painstaking as it is
纵使艰难困苦 仍坚守积极信念
I'll never turn back cause that's the way I've got to live
永不回头退缩 此乃生存之道
So like a cloud carries rain I'm gonna carry my rhyme
如云承载雨露 我将托起诗行
Coming like thunder with lightening timing
挟雷霆之势 携闪电之速降临
No hesitation in gestation of thoughts and plans
孕育思想蓝图 未有半分迟疑
Ferment time like wine no ploys or scams
时光如酒般发酵 无需诡计与欺瞒
Like the islands dot the oceans in the endless seas
似群岛点缀汪洋 在无垠的海面
Ideas coming to me in answer to my pleas
灵感应我祈求 纷至沓来
Woke up this morning right out of a dream
今晨从梦境中 蓦然苏醒
Reached for my pen and pad because my mind was on a rhyme scheme
抓起纸笔 因思绪正随韵脚流淌
What can I do with these bones and flesh
这副血肉之躯 该如何自处
With these animated thoughts in a world repressed
在压抑的世界里 怀揣跃动的思想
I'm going down like the rhythms on the winds of change
我随变革之风 如旋律般沉浮
I'm keeping calm under pressure like a deep sea range
我如深海般在压力下保持镇定
I'm flowing prose to cons and cons to pros
我在正反之间流淌诗行
I'm like Toucan Sam when I follow my nose
像犀鸟追循气息指引方向
I'm giving shouts to Gandhi Gravy and King
向甘地圣哲与金恩博士致敬
His Holiness and all enlightened beings
向所有觉者献上虔诚赞颂
I'll be the one who screams it on the microphone
我将成为麦克风前的呐喊者
I'll be the one who brings it inside your home
成为传递真理的使者
But the words ain't mine I just pass em along
这些箴言非我所有 我只是传颂
For Betty Williams and her friends I sing this song
为贝蒂·威廉姆斯和她的朋友们 我唱起这首歌
And more ink from my pen and more tears from my eyes
笔尖涌出更多墨痕 眼中噙满更多泪水
And more crimes are committed as I say these lines
当我吟诵这些诗行时 世间又添新的罪愆
