All the Rowboats
All the rowboats in the paintings
在油画上的所有小船
They keep trying to row away
不断在试图划走
And the captains’ worried faces
船长忧心忡忡的面孔
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
扭曲地盯着浪头
They’ll keep hanging in their gold frames
他们一直挂在金色的画框中
For forever, forever and a day
永远永远地挂在那里
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
在油画上的所有小船
They keep trying to row away, row away
不断在试图划走
听见他们在悄声说话
Hear them whispering French and German
用法语德语荷兰语拉丁语和意大利语
Dutch, Italian, and Latin
趁没人在看，我悄悄摸了一下雕塑
When no one’s looking I fetch a sculpture
是大理石质，金色的，柔软如缎
Marble, gold, and soft as satin
但最特别的恰恰是最孤独的
But the most special are the most lonely
天那，我真同情那些小提琴
God, I pity the violins
他们在水晶棺里不断地咳嗽
In glass coffins they keep coughing
已经忘记怎样歌唱了
They’ve forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing
灯光熄灭了，门被锁上了
名画其实是最高的刑罚
First there’s lights out, then there’s lock up
成为永恒是他们自己的过错
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
那肯定是有代价和后果的
It’s their own fault for being timeless
那所有的画廊和博物馆
There’s a price to pay and a consequence
这是你的门票，欢迎来到坟墓
All the galleries, the museums
他们只是些公共陵墓
Here’s your ticket, welcome to the tombs
活着的死人充满了每间屋子
They’re just public mausoleums
但最特别的恰恰是最孤独的
The living dead fill every room
天那，我真同情那些小提琴
But the most special are the most lonely
他们在水晶棺里不断地咳嗽
God, I pity the violins
已经忘记怎样歌唱了
In glass coffins they keep coughing
他们一直挂在金色的画框中
They’ve forgotten, forgotten how to sing
永远永远地挂在那里
在油画上的所有小船
They will stay there in their gold frames
不断在试图划走
For forever, forever and a day
灯光熄灭了，门被锁上了
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
名画其实是最高的刑罚
They keep trying to row away, row away
成为永恒是他们自己的过错
那肯定是有代价和后果的
First there’s lights out, then there’s lock up
那所有的画廊和博物馆
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
永远永远地待在那里
It’s their own fault for being timeless
在油画上的所有小船
There’s a price to pay and a consequence
不断在试图划走
All the galleries, the museums
在油画上的所有小船
They will stay there forever and a day
不断在试图划走
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away…
