The Night Watch - King Crimson
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Shine shine the light of good works shine
让善行之光 永远闪耀光芒
The watch before the city gates depicted in their prime
城门前驻守的卫队 画中英姿永存
That golden light all grimy now
金色光辉虽已蒙尘
Three hundred years have passed
三百年时光流转
The worthy Captain and his squad of troopers standing fast
可敬的队长率领士兵 依然坚定伫立
The artist knew their faces well
画家熟识每张面容
The husbands of his lady friends
有他红颜的夫君
His creditors and councilors
债主与议员们的脸庞
In armor bright the merchant men
商人们身披锃亮铠甲
Official moments of the guild
行会庄严的授勋时刻
In poses keen from bygone days
往昔岁月里锐利的姿态
The city fathers frozen there
市政元老们凝固于此
Upon the canvas dark with age
在岁月泛黄的画布上
The smell of paint a flask of wine
颜料气息与葡萄酒香
And turn those faces all to me
将那些面容转向我
The blunderbuss and halberd-shaft
老式火枪与戟柄寒光
And Dutch respectability
荷兰人的体面尊严
They make their entrance one by one
他们依次隆重登场
Defenders of that way of life
守护着这种生活方式
The redbrick home the bourgeoisie
红砖宅邸的中产阶级
Guitar lessons for the wife
为妻子安排吉他课程
So many years we suffered here
历经多年苦难岁月
Our country racked with Spanish wars
我们的祖国饱受西班牙战火摧残
Now comes a chance to find ourselves
此刻正是寻找自我的契机
And quiet reigns behind our doors
门扉紧闭 宁静笼罩
We think about posterity again
我们再度思索后世传承
So the pride of little men
于是平凡人的尊严
The burghers good and true
正直善良的市民们
Still living through the painter's hand
仍借画师之手延续生命
Request you all to understand
恳请世人用心体会
