- Eagles The Last Resort 歌詞
- Eagles
- She came from Providence,
她像是神派下來的
the one in Rhode Island
來自那古老希臘的羅德島
Where the old world shadows hang
那裡整天被黑暗籠罩著
heavy in the air
悲傷蔓延在空氣中
She packed her hopes and dreams
她帶著她的夢想與希望
like a refugee
就像個難民似的
Just as her father came across the sea
跟隨著她父親飄洋過海
She heard about a place people were simlin'
路途中他聽聞了只有微笑的那個地方
They spoke about the red man's way,
那裡的人講著印第安人講的話
and how they loved the land
更重要的是,他們很熱愛他們的土地
And they came from everywhere
他們來自四面八方
to the Great Divide
分成了多個部落
Seeking a place to stand
像是去尋找著權力
or a place to hide
或是在尋找著逃避的方法
Down in the crowded bars,
從那喧鬧的城市
out for a good time,
走出郊外,那是一件多麼好的事啊
Can't wait to tell you all,
我要把這一切都告訴你
what it's like up there
關於那裡的一切
And they called it paradise
那些當地人把那裡稱做天堂
I don't know why
我不知道為什麼啊
Somebody laid the mountains low
可能是因為他們能夠躺在山腳下
while the town got high
當你正為你的生活發愁的時候
Then the chilly winds blew down
寒冷的風刮過
Across the desert
刮過茫茫的沙漠
through the canyons of the coast,
穿過海岸峽谷
to the Malibu
來到了另一邊那美麗的海濱上
Where the pretty people play,
那裡的他們玩得正開心
hungry for power
他們漂亮極了,卻仍不斷地渴求著更多的快樂
to light their neon way
去照亮他們嶄新的前路
and give them things to do
或是去尋找著理想中的任務
Some rich men came and raped the land,
後來一些有錢的人來到了這裡,無理地霸占了土地
Nobody caught 'em
卻沒有一個去反對抵抗那些暴戾的侵略者
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
最多只是拿起個醜陋的盒子向耶穌祈禱著
people bought 'em
相信耶穌能帶給他們過去的那個淳樸的土地
And they called it paradise
但他們仍然把那裡稱作天堂
The place to be
事實上那裡的確是個天堂
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
在他們眼中,朦朧的太陽時常都在照耀著海洋
music......
You can leave it all behind
你大可以把這可悲的事情放下
and sail to Lahaina
坐船去到Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
就像那些許多年前的傳教士那樣做
They even brought a neon sign:'Jesus is coming'
那些侵入者甚至以'耶穌降臨了'的名義
Brought the white man's burden down
為廣大的白人們卸下重擔
Brought the white man's reign
帶給那些白人無限的權力
Who will provide the grand design?
誰會想得出那些偉大的設計
What is yours and what is mine?
或是我吧.
'Cause there is no more new frontier
這裡沒有新的國界與尺度
We have got to make it here
我們必須採納正確的思想與重新設計出國度
We satifsy our endless needs
我們堅持著我們無盡的需要
and justify our bloody deeds,
和崇尚著偉大的行為
in the name of destiny
因為我們體會到命運是什麼名字
and the name of God
因為我們也清楚地記得上帝的名字
And you can see them there,
你還可以在那裡看見他們
On Sunday morning
就在那禮拜日的早晨
Stand up and sing about
他們站起來了,並且唱著歌
What it's like up there
歌唱著他們眼前的一切
They call it paradise
他們稱那里為天堂
I don't know why
我真的不明白為什麼
You call someplace paradise,
而現在請向你稱之為天堂的地方
kiss it goodbye
吻別吧
music......
