【老键曲库】Tony Joe White - Closer To The Truth (抵近真相 - 拙译）

《抵近真相》

求生欲强烈
浪漫而疯狂
漫步在时间的边缘
如黑豹行在雨中

受人操纵的叛匪
罔顾律法
当白色种马失蹄，骄傲落鞍
你抵近了真相

对意义的探寻仍在继续
他们建起高耸的教堂
而我们握紧武器
依着黑暗的天空显现

他们正剿灭雨林
建造没有风景的房间
巨树如多米诺骨牌倾倒
我们更加抵近真相

苍鹰在山顶俯瞰
武士变为愚夫
当骰子在圣地抛掷
他们更抵近真相

谁来告诉孩子
河流曾如蓝色水晶流淌
我们一边添伤于地球母亲
一边抵近真相

 

Closer to the Truth
Tony Joe White

A strong instinct for survival
Romantically insane
Moving soft along the edge of time
Like a panther in the rain

Manipulated rebels
With a total disregard for the rules
When pride comes tumbling off the great white stallion
You move closer to the truth

And the search continues for the meaning
They build the cathedrals high
But we keep our weapons ready
Looming dark against the sky

They're taking down the rain forest
Changing it to a room without a view
And the big trees fall like dominoes
And we move closer to the truth

The eagle watches from the mountain
As the warriors turn into fools
And the dice are thrown on sacred ground
And they move closer to the truth

And who's gonna tell the children
How the rivers used to flow crystal blue
And we keep leaving scars on mother earth
And moving closer to the truth
