- Eagles The Last Resort 歌词
- Eagles
- She came from Providence,
她像是神派下来的
the one in Rhode Island
来自那古老希腊的罗德岛
Where the old world shadows hang
那里整天被黑暗笼罩着
heavy in the air
悲伤蔓延在空气中
She packed her hopes and dreams
她带着她的梦想与希望
like a refugee
就像个难民似的
Just as her father came across the sea
跟随着她父亲飘洋过海
She heard about a place people were simlin'
路途中他听闻了只有微笑的那个地方
They spoke about the red man's way,
那里的人讲着印第安人讲的话
and how they loved the land
更重要的是,他们很热爱他们的土地
And they came from everywhere
他们来自四面八方
to the Great Divide
分成了多个部落
Seeking a place to stand
像是去寻找着权力
or a place to hide
或是在寻找着逃避的方法
Down in the crowded bars,
从那喧闹的城市
out for a good time,
走出郊外,那是一件多么好的事啊
Can't wait to tell you all,
我要把这一切都告诉你
what it's like up there
关于那里的一切
And they called it paradise
那些当地人把那里称做天堂
I don't know why
我不知道为什么啊
Somebody laid the mountains low
可能是因为他们能够躺在山脚下
while the town got high
当你正为你的生活发愁的时候
Then the chilly winds blew down
寒冷的风刮过
Across the desert
刮过茫茫的沙漠
through the canyons of the coast,
穿过海岸峡谷
to the Malibu
来到了另一边那美丽的海滨上
Where the pretty people play,
那里的他们玩得正开心
hungry for power
他们漂亮极了,却仍不断地渴求着更多的快乐
to light their neon way
去照亮他们崭新的前路
and give them things to do
或是去寻找着理想中的任务
Some rich men came and raped the land,
后来一些有钱的人来到了这里,无理地霸占了土地
Nobody caught 'em
却没有一个去反对抵抗那些暴戾的侵略者
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
最多只是拿起个丑陋的盒子向耶稣祈祷着
people bought 'em
相信耶稣能带给他们过去的那个淳朴的土地
And they called it paradise
但他们仍然把那里称作天堂
The place to be
事实上那里的确是个天堂
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
在他们眼中,朦胧的太阳时常都在照耀着海洋
music......
You can leave it all behind
你大可以把这可悲的事情放下
and sail to Lahaina
坐船去到Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
就像那些许多年前的传教士那样做
They even brought a neon sign:"Jesus is coming"
那些侵入者甚至以"耶稣降临了"的名义
Brought the white man's burden down
为广大的白人们卸下重担
Brought the white man's reign
带给那些白人无限的权力
Who will provide the grand design?
谁会想得出那些伟大的设计
What is yours and what is mine?
或是我吧.
'Cause there is no more new frontier
这里没有新的国界与尺度
We have got to make it here
我们必须采纳正确的思想与重新设计出国度
We satifsy our endless needs
我们坚持着我们无尽的需要
and justify our bloody deeds,
和崇尚着伟大的行为
in the name of destiny
因为我们体会到命运是什么名字
and the name of God
因为我们也清楚地记得上帝的名字
And you can see them there,
你还可以在那里看见他们
On Sunday morning
就在那礼拜日的早晨
Stand up and sing about
他们站起来了,并且唱着歌
What it's like up there
歌唱着他们眼前的一切
They call it paradise
他们称那里为天堂
I don't know why
我真的不明白为什么
You call someplace paradise,
而现在请向你称之为天堂的地方
kiss it goodbye
吻别吧
music......
