- Sufjan Stevens City of Roses 歌词
- Sufjan Stevens
- A break in the clouds is a break in my day
云层中透出缝隙 此刻让我得以放松一天的疲惫身心 Face the sun of my salvation 面对着照耀救赎之光的太阳 As Hathaway Jones would have made it his own fate 就像海瑟薇·琼斯定下了自己的命数【Ivan Hathaway Jones,在1937年意外身亡,死亡方式刚好与他本人发表的一个故事《The Year of the Big Snow》相似】 Fly by the wings of your creation 用你创造出的翅膀飞行
你头顶上方 有一首诗 On the top of your head, there is a poem 我脑中的想法 唯有上帝知道 The thought in my head, oh God only knows 一切都会让你失望至极 As everything else will disappoint you 我曾经也年轻无畏 可如今年长的自己 心已老去 I used to be young and bold, but now I'm afraid, I'm getting so old 我跟随心中的喜悦来到玫瑰之城【Portland有玫瑰之城的称号】 I follow delight to the City of Roses 这个鲜为人知的事实 我无法应对
我是镇压的拥护者 It's a little-known fact that I can't cope 我在东海岸见惯了镇压【Sufjan在东海岸生活过几年,这是对他隐忍的感情的一段比喻】 I’m the champion of repression 我将殒命于我野心的双翼之下【引用了希腊神话中伊卡洛斯和他的父亲代达罗斯的故事】 I've had it enough with the east coast 那个我离开的城市 苦痛之城 I'll die by the wings of my ambition 那个我爱过的地方 希望的城
一切都会让你失望透顶 The city I left, the city of throes 我曾经也年轻无畏 可如今年长的自己 心已老去 The one that I loved, the city of hope 我跟随心中的喜悦来到玫瑰之城 As everything else will disappoint you 云层中透出缝隙 此刻让我得以放松一天的疲惫身心 I used to be young and bold, but now I'm of age, I'm getting so old I follow delight to the City of Roses
A break in the clouds is a break in my day
