以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by:John Flansburgh/John Linnell
We've been driving around
我们驾车穿梭不息
From one end of this town to the other and back
从城镇这头到那头 往返不停
But no one's ever seen us no one's ever seen us
却无人曾目睹我们的踪迹 无人知晓我们的踪迹
Driving our econoline van and no one's ever heard of our band
开着破旧厢型车巡演 也无人听闻过我们乐队
And no one's ever heard of our band
是的 无人听闻过我们乐队
We're the mesopotamians
我们是美索不达米亚人
Sargon hammurabi ashurbanipal and gilgamesh
萨尔贡 汉谟拉比 亚述巴尼拔与吉尔伽美什
Then they wouldn't understand a word we say
世人根本听不懂我们的语言
So we'll scratch it all down into the clay
我们将故事镌刻在泥板之上
Half believing there will sometime come a day
半信半疑地期待某天
Someone gives a damn
会有人在意这些篇章
Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand
或许当混凝土化为沙砾的时光
We're the mesopotamians
我们是美索不达米亚人
Sargon hammurabi ashurbanipal and gilgamesh
萨尔贡 汉谟拉比 亚述巴尼拔与吉尔伽美什
The mesopotam ish sun is beating down
美索不达米的烈日灼烧大地
And making cracks in the ground
龟裂的纹路在大地蔓延
But there's nowhere else to stand
却无处可立足
In mesopotamia no one's ever seen us
在美索不达米亚 无人知晓我们的存在
The kingdom where we secretly reign and no one's ever heard of our band
这是我们秘密统治的王国 却无人听闻过我们的乐队
The land where we invisibly rule
这片我们无形统治的土地
As the mesopotamians
作为美索不达米亚人
Sargon hammurabi ashurbanipal and gilgamesh
萨尔贡 汉谟拉比 亚述巴尼拔与吉尔伽美什
This is my last stick of gum
这是我最后一片口香糖
I'm going to cut it up so everybody else gets some
我要把它分成小块 让每个人都能分享
Except for ashurbanipal who says my haircut makes me look like a mohenjo daroan
除了亚述巴尼拔说我发型像摩亨佐达罗人
Hey ashurbanipal
嘿 亚述巴尼拔
I'm a mesopotamian
我可是美索不达米亚人
Sargon hammurabi ashurbanipal and gilgamesh
萨尔贡 汉谟拉比 亚述巴尼拔与吉尔伽美什
We're the mesopotamians
我们是美索不达米亚人
Sargon hammurabi ashurbanipal and gilgamesh
萨尔贡 汉谟拉比 亚述巴尼拔与吉尔伽美什
Hey man I thought that you were dead
老兄 我还以为你早死了
I thought you crashed your car
以为你车祸丧生了
No man I've been right here this whole time playing bass guitar
我一直在这里弹奏贝斯
For the mesopotamians
为美索不达米亚人而奏
Sargon hammurabi ashurbanipal
萨尔贡 汉谟拉比 亚述巴尼拔
Sargon hammurabi ashurbanipal and gilgamesh
萨尔贡 汉谟拉比 亚述巴尼拔与吉尔伽美什
