All the rowboats
All The Rowboats
小船們
Regina Spektor
All the rowboats, in the paintings
所有油畫中的小船
They keep trying to row away
它們都暗自越劃越遠
And the captain's worried faces
船長都皺著眉頭
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
注視著驚天駭浪
They'll keep hanging, in their gold frames
但他們依舊強挺著,在鑲著金邊的畫框裡
For forever, forever and a day
比永遠還久遠
All the rowboats, in the oil paintings
所有油畫中的小船
They keep trying to row away, row away
它們都暗自越劃越遠
法語和德語的低聲交談
Hear them whispering, French and German
抓住那個意大利人和那個拉丁人
Catch Italian and Latin
我趁無人在意之際,撫摸雕塑
When no one's looking, I touch a sculpture
大理石,黃金,綢緞般絲滑
Marble, gold, and soft as satin
最特別的總是最孤寂的
But the most special are the most lonely
主啊,我為這小提琴聲感到悲哀
God, I pity the violins
玻璃棺中,他們咳嗽聲不停
In glass coffins, they keep coughin'
他們都忘了該如何歌唱
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing
起初燈滅,大門鎖上
讚歌獻給鉅作
First there's lights out, then there's lock up
超前於時代,是他們自身的錯
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
他們得為他們的智慧付出代價
It's their own fault for being timeless
所有的畫廊和博物館
There's a price to pay, and a consequence
“請拿好票,歡迎參觀這墓地”
All the galleries and museums
這裡不過是觀光陵墓
'Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs'
行屍走肉充斥房間
They're just public mausoleums--
最特別的總是最孤寂的
The living dead fill every room
主啊,我為這小提琴聲感到悲哀
But the most special are the most lonely
玻璃棺中,他們咳嗽聲不停
God, I pity the violins
他們都忘了該如何歌唱
In glass coffins, they keep coughin'
他們依舊停留,在鑲著金邊的畫框裡
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing
比永遠還久遠
所有油畫中的小船
They will stay there, in their gold frames
它們都暗自越劃越遠
For forever, forever and a day
起初燈滅,大門鎖上
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
讚歌獻給鉅作
They keep trying to row away, row away
超前於時代,是他們自身的錯
他們得為他們的智慧付出代價
First there's lights out, then there's lock up
所有的畫廊和博物館
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
他們永永遠遠困在這裡
It's their own fault for being timeless
所有油畫中的小船
There's a price to pay, and a consequence
它們都暗自越劃越遠
All the galleries and museums
所有油畫中的小船
They will stay there forever and a day
它們都暗自越劃越遠
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
