Long Road out of EDEN (The Ealges) 歌詞
老鷹合唱團休息很長一段時間後
在2006年復出推出的專輯 「Long road out od EDEN」
其中我最喜歡的就是與專輯同名第一首
歌詞實在太棒了 所以我附了中英對照在下面
Long Road out of EDEN
遠離伊甸園漫路
Moon shining down through the palms
月光灑過棕櫚樹
Shadows moving on the sand
陰影在沙漠上移動
Somebody whispering the twenty-third Psalm
有人低吟著詩篇23 ◎
Dusty rifle in his trembling hands
塵染的步槍緊握在顫抖的手中
Somebody trying just to stay alive
有人掙扎著只為苟活
He got promises to keep
他恪守著一個承諾
Over the ocean in America
在大洋彼岸的美國
Far away and fast asleep
遙遠的土地安然入夢
Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky
沉默的群星在無盡的黑夜裡閃爍
Cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by
冰冷的銀色衛星，鬼魅般的車隊從這裡經過
Galaxies unfolding, new worlds being born
銀河展現，新世界誕生
Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn
聖徒和浪子緩緩走向黎明
And it's a long road out of Eden
這是一條走出伊甸園的長路
Music blasting from an SUV
SUV裡音樂震天
On a bright and sunny day
晴朗的一天陽光明艷
Rolling down the interstate
在州際公路上呼嘯而過
In the good ol' USA
這裡是美麗的美利堅
Having lunch at the petroleum club
在石油俱樂部共進午餐
Smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lives
吸著上等的雪茄把生命交換
He said: "gimme 'nother slice o' that barbecued brisket!"
他說：“再給我一塊烤雞脯！”
"Gimme 'nother piece o' that pecan pie!"
“再給我一塊核桃派！”
Freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune
公路蜿蜒，手機鈴聲悠揚
We're riding to Utopia, road map says we'll be arriving soon
我們正駛向烏托邦，按地圖很快就能到達
Captains of the old order clinging to the reins
堅守命令的老船長緊握著韁繩
Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains
教導我們內心的傷痛只是成長的痛苦
But it's a long road out of Eden
但這是一條走出伊甸園的長路
Back home I was so certain
回到家我如此的肯定
The path was very clear
道路是如此的清晰
But now I have to wonder: "what are we doing here?"
但是我不得不問：“我們為何身在此地？”
I'm not counting on tomorrow
我不指望明天
And I can't tell wrong from right
我無法明辨是非
But I'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight
但我能獻出一切，只要今夜能在你懷裡
Weaving down the American highway
行駛在美國的公路上
Through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk
穿過廢墟殘骸和垃圾文化
Bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda
膨脹的利益，氾濫的宣傳
And now we're driving dazed and drunk
我們眩暈沉醉迷失了方向
Been down the road to Damascus,
我曾經走向大馬士革
The road to Mandalay
和緬甸曼德勒
Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian Way
在亞壁古道上遇到過凱撒的魂魄
He said, "it's hard to stop this bingeing, once you get a taste."
他說：“美酒淺嚐一滴，就會身纏慾火。”
"But the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste."
“但走向帝國卻是血腥愚蠢徒勞的狂熱。”
Behold the bitten apple - the power of the tools
看那被偷食的禁果——工具的操縱
But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools
世上所有的知識對於愚人都百無一用
And it's a long road out of Eden
這是一條走出伊甸園的長路
◎ 詩篇 23
耶和華是我的牧者、我必不至缺乏。他使我躺臥在青草地上、領我在可安歇的水邊。他使我的靈魂甦醒、為自己的名引導我走義路。我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷、也不怕遭害，因為你與我同在，你的杖、你的竿、都安慰我。在我敵人面前、你為我擺設筵席，你用油膏了我的頭、使我的福杯滿溢。我一生一世必有恩惠慈愛隨著我，我且要住在耶和華的殿中、直到永遠。
