Biting Your Tail - Iron & Wine
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
May your eyes be wide and seeing
愿你眼界开阔,明察秋毫
May you learn from the view where you're kneeling
愿你从屈膝之处,汲取智慧
Know the fear of the world that you're feeling
愿你深知这世间所感之惧
Is the fear of a slave
乃是奴役之下的恐惧
May you know how the fight was started
愿你明了这场斗争的缘起
Won' as much the snake as the garden
蛇与园之争,胜负各半
Wear them both like a glove that you can't wain
将二者铭记于心,如手套般无法脱去
May your mouth betray your wisdom
愿你的言辞不经意流露智慧
May you get what they failed to mention
愿你能获得他们未曾言明的馈赠
May your love be your only religion
愿爱成为你唯一的信仰
Preach it to us all
将此信念传予众生
May you lose what you offer gladly
愿你所愿付出 亦能坦然失却
May you worship the time and it's passing
愿你珍视这流逝的每寸光阴
Stars wont ever wait for you to watch them fall
星辰不会等你目睹它们陨落
We're the smoke on a burned horizon
我们是焦灼地平线上的一缕轻烟
We're the boat on a tide that's rising
我们是潮涌中的一叶扁舟
Both the post and the pig you're untying
你松开标杆与猪的绳索
The butcher gone for the blade
屠夫已去取那锋利刀刃
Someday we may all be happy
或许有天 我们终将欢欣
Someday all make a face worth slapping
或许有天 会露出可憎面容
Someday we may be shocked to be laughing
或许有天 惊觉自己竟在发笑
At the way we behave
笑看我们曾经的荒唐
May your hands be strong and willing
愿你双手强健有力,充满热忱
May you know when to speak and to listen
愿你明辨何时发声,何时倾听
May you find every friend that you're missing
愿你寻回所有失散的挚友
There's no check in the mail
信箱里不会有支票寄来
May you end there bruised and purple
愿你最终淤青发紫,伤痕累累
Know that peace is the shape of a circle
须知和平如环,周而复始
Around and around you go biting your tail
你将不停旋转,咬住自己尾巴
Little children the wind is whipping
孩子们啊,狂风正呼啸而过
Short hands on a clock still ticking
时针转动 嘀嗒不停
Both the egg and the red fox grinning
蛋与红狐 咧嘴而笑
His belly full for the day
饱餐终日 心满意足
Someday we may all want nothing
或许终有一日 我们无所欲求
And all together we'll get what's coming
届时我们终将 得偿所愿
Someday I'll say the world was something
有朝一日我会说 这世界曾是如此
That we just couldn't change
我们却无力改变
May your tongue be something wicked
愿你舌绽莲花 字字诛心
Know your part in the calf and the killing
认清你在小牛仪式与杀戮中的角色
See straight through the captain you're kissing
看透你所亲吻的船长
Helm loose in his hand
舵柄在他手中松动
May your words be well worth stealing
愿你言语字字珠玑,引人深思
Put your hand on your heart when singing
歌唱时请将手放在心口
The choir's sick of the song
尽管合唱团已厌倦这歌
But they've still got to stand
但他们仍需挺立
