以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Composed by:Dragos Chiriac/Jessy Caron/Vincent Laquerre
What is it to be a man
何谓男子气概
Is it to be romantic
是否意味着浪漫情怀
Fueling it's own nostalgia
用战死沙场的幻想
With dreams of death in battle
喂养怀旧的执念
Submitting it's body to hard privations
让躯体承受严酷考验
Gaining the curse of martyrdom
换取殉道者的诅咒
Leaving this world in a blind and passionate fashion
在盲目炽热中离开人世
In the arms of a consuming mistress
沉沦于致命情人的怀抱
Stupidly jumping off the schlafen berg
愚蠢地从沉睡之巅纵身跃下
Dying on a piano of an unexpected but inevitable sickness
在钢琴上死于一场意料之外却无可避免的疾病
With a still dripping quill in the left hand
左手仍握着滴墨的羽毛笔
Depicting unbalanced emotions in sheet music
在乐谱上描绘失衡的情绪
A deforming lens
一面扭曲的透镜
Aimed at a small fraction of the human catalogue
对准人类图鉴的微小片段
Or in the case of our contemporaries
或如我们同代人所为
Depicting a long
勾勒漫长
Over exploited duality
被过度消费的二元对立
Between good and evil
在善恶之间
As if the choice was a puzzling dilemma
仿佛选择是令人困惑的难题
Attacking a God killed over three centuries ago
攻击一个三百年前就已陨落的神明
Counter facing the camera you borrowed money to pay for
面对那台你借钱买来的摄像机镜头
Implying references to esoteric Delphies
暗指德尔斐那些晦涩的隐喻
Creating a non existing mystery around oneself
在周身编织不存在的谜团
What is it to be a woman
身为女性究竟意味着什么
Being sad on a beach
独坐海滩黯然神伤
A long monologue glorifying impossible loves
长篇独白歌颂无望的爱恋
Smoking cigarettes with boredom
百无聊赖吞吐烟圈
Enacting it's own death in a car accident
在车祸中演绎自我毁灭
Maybe quit it all at 27
或许该在二十七岁终结一切
Impressing some naive teenagers
只为打动那些天真的少年
Who can't but think that suffering is deep
他们总以为痛苦即是深刻
Clearly there must be some other themes
显然这世上还有其他命题
Who please both to mind and body
谁能同时取悦身心
While petitioning for genius and greatness
在祈求天赋与伟大的同时
Maybe give a listen to Fauré and Bach
或许该听听福雷与巴赫
To the Greeks
听听古希腊先贤
Mill
穆勒
And ironically the great Goethe
还有讽刺的是歌德大师
They are all brilliant men who worked hard
他们都是勤奋的天才
Still they can't be placed above manly affairs
却仍难超脱男性事务的桎梏
Because concerning those
关于那些人事
No one ever saw nor heard
无人曾目睹或听闻
They remain interesting as photographs
却如相片般引人入胜
Which depict some of many human features
定格了人性的万千特征
