The Haves Have Naught - The Dear Hunter
以下歌词翻译由微信翻译提供
Just look at that shopkeeper peddling his wares
看看那个店主在兜售他的产品
Shouting his sales pitch but nobody cares
呼喊着他的推销词但没人在乎
Don't you wonder what keeps him there day after day
你难道不好奇是什么让他一天又一天
Begging for gold as his hair turns to gray
在他头发花白的时候乞求金子
Blindly they're bounding apace
他们盲目地快速跳跃
Starving for mercy in a merciless place
在一个残酷无情的地方渴望得到怜悯
Only a fool would make martyrs from heathens
只有傻瓜才会让异教徒殉道
And find them so lively when they're barely breathing
当他们奄奄一息时发现他们生龙活虎
Just barely breathing
奄奄一息
Just look at that toymaker grinding his gears
看看那个玩具制造商在磨磨蹭蹭
Turning no profit but he doesn't care
没有利润可他不在乎
He keep smiles on faces day after day
他每天都面带微笑
The children keep sadness and suffering at bay
孩子们将悲伤和痛苦抛诸脑后
Blissfully bounding apace
幸福地跳跃着
Searching for mercy in a merciless place
在冷酷无情的地方寻求怜悯
Only a monster makes fodder from saints
只有怪物才会把圣人当做饲料
Finds them so worthless when they're full of grace
当他们充满恩典时发现他们毫无价值
So full of grace
充满魅力
But what better use of hookers and thieves
但是妓女和小偷还有什么更好的用途
Then greasing the wheels of perfect machines
然后给完美机器的轮子上油
That hum into life a harmony of industry

But what is the use of cutting them down
但是把它们砍下来又有什么用呢
To smother and choke the soul of our town
扼杀我们城市的灵魂
I know there is another way
我知道还有别的办法
But what is so wrong
但究竟是怎么了
Just how could you w**d them out
你怎么能把他们洗劫一空
Degrading them without doubt
毫无疑问侮辱他们
Yourself could give to the worthless
你可以给那些没用的人
They live and die like you and I
他们像你我一样生老病死
Without the guidance of rulers and tyrants
没有统治者和暴君的指引
Rulers and tyrants

People will just tear themselves apart

Just look at that charlatan

Steeped in deceit

A threat to the young

To the old and the meek

Don't you wander what made him

So vicious so sick

So far out of balance

So cruel and so callous

So married to malice
