Five Years

擠過廣場上洶湧人潮
Pushing through the market square
這麼多哀嘆著的母親
So many mothers sighing
最新的消息剛剛來到
News had just come over
留給瑣碎和抱怨的生活只剩下五年，我們即將哀嘆著命運，等待審判
We have five years left to sigh in
送新聞的人說起時也落淚
News guy wept when he told us
地球確實在走向毀滅
Earth was really dying
說著說著，淚流滿面
Cried so much that his face was wet
我才知道他不是在說謊
Then I knew he was not lying
我聽到電話，劇院
I heard telephones, opera house
珍愛的旋律
favourite melodies
我看到玩具，小男孩
I saw toys, boys,
電烙鐵，電視機
electric irons and TVs
腦子像倉庫一樣忠實地存儲
Brain hurt like a warehouse
填滿的空間，那麼痛
Had no room to spare
擠滿了要記住的東西，那麼多
Had to cram so many things to store
這就是所有的東西
Everything in there
胖的瘦的，人們
Fat-skinny people
高的矮的，人們
Tall-short people
重要的人
Somebody people
無名的人
Nobody people
從沒想過我是需要人們的
I never thought Id need so many people
與我同齡的一個女孩瘋掉了

對一些小孩子拳打腳踢
A girl my age went off her head
要不是有那個黑人把她拉開
Hit some tiny children
我猜她大概真的會殺掉他們
If the black hadnt a-pulled her off,
斷臂的軍人
Well, I think she would have killed them
一直盯著卡迪拉克的車軲轆
A soldier with a broken arm
警察放低膝蓋，用嘴唇虔誠地碰觸神父的腳麵
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
酷兒見到便吐了出來
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
我想我在冰淇淋鋪見過你們
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
喝著奶昔，冰涼的，粘稠的，綿延著的
And I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
微笑著揮揮手，精神煥發，看起來無可挑剔
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
不覺得你們那時知道自己正被這首歌轉述
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
冰冷的天氣，綿延不絕的雨，自己在這裡像個蹩腳的演員
Dont thinkyou knew you were in this song
於是我想起了媽，想要回到我的源起
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
你們的面容，你們的種族
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
你們講話的方式
Your face, your race,
“親吻你，你可真美！”
the way that you talk
多希望你們能動動
I kiss you, youre beautiful
我們還有五年——
I want you to walk
彷彿眼中的一切都貼上了時間標籤
Weve got five years
五年——
Stuck on my eyes
毫無預料
Five years
五年——
What a surprise
頭痛欲裂
Five years
五年——
My brain hurts a lot
這就是我們索要到的一切了
Five years
我們還有五年——
Thats all weve got
這個認知纏上了我的眼睛
Weve got five years
五年——
Stuck on my eyes
多麼措手不及
Five years
我們還有五年——
What a surprise
腦子裝了太多東西直到再也不能夠
Weve got five years
五年——
My brain hurts a lot
天啊，這就是我們的終點了
Five years
我們還有五年——
God, thats all weve got
刻在眼瞼上，每時每刻都不得忘記；含在眼眶裡，等待，直到滴落那刻
Weve got five years
五年——
Stuck on my eyes
真是毫無準備
Five years
五年——
What a surprise
我頭痛欲裂
Five years
五年——
My brain hurts a lot
那就是我們的全部所值了
Five years
Thats all weve got
