Plateau (Live 1993) - Nirvana (涅槃)
Written by:Curt Kirkwood
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
无数双手令广袤而沧桑的高原沟壑纵横
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
一些来自于外乡人 一些则是你听过的传奇
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
神圣的鬼和脱口秀主持人被放置在沙堆里
To beautify the foothills
美化这山麓丘陵
And shake the many hands
震颤着无数双手
There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
山顶再无其他 除了水桶和拖把
And an illustrated book about birds
以及一本鸟类图册
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
你在上面看见很多 但别惊慌
Who needs action when you got words
你得到讯息 谁需要行动
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
拖完地 你就可以停下来
And look at what you've done
看看自己做了什么
The plateau's clean no dirt to be seen
高原一片洁净 肮脏不在
And the work it was fun
付出的努力也变得有趣
There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
山顶再无其他 除了水桶和拖把
And an illustrated book about birds
以及一本鸟类图册
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
你在上面看见很多 但别惊慌
Who needs action when you got words
你得到讯息 谁需要行动
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
接下来 这无数双手开始搜寻下一个高原
Some say it was in green land and some say Mexico
有人说在格陵兰岛 有人说在墨西哥
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
有人认定就是脚下的土地
But those were all just guesses
但那都只是猜想
Wouldn't help you if they could
即使他们愿意 却也帮不了你
