We Can Talk (2000 Digital Remaster)

We can talk about it now
我们现在终于能谈论它了
It's that same old riddle
一个这么老套的谜题
Only starting from the middle
仅仅从中间才开始
I'd fix it but I don't know how
我会解决它的但我却不知道该怎么做
Well, we could try to reason
好吧，我们要努力去思考
But you might think it's treason
但也许你会觉着这是一种叛行

声音一呼百应
One voice for all
在大厅中回响不停
Echoing along the hall
不要放弃信奉钟神
Don't give up on father clock
我们终于能谈论它了
We can talk about it now
来吧，让我告诉你该怎么做

为了能使轮子打转你需要
Come, let me show you how
让引擎一直运转
To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to
你曾给奶牛挤过奶吗
Keep the engine churnin'
我某天曾有过这样的机会
But did you ever milk a cow
但那天是周日我盛装打扮了一番（所以最后还是未能成行）
I had the chance one day
所有地方的，每个人
But I was all dressed up for Sunday
你真的在乎他们吗

整理好思绪走吧
Everybody, everywhere
我们终于能谈论它了
Do you really care
在我看来我们好像在隐瞒什么
Pick up your heads and walk
藏在我们舌头底下
We can talk about it now
我担心是否有人曾拍过你的背

我想把你的肺胀破
It seems to me we've been holding something
哦，如果我出声的话就阻止我
Underneath our tongues
就算只是从嘴里发出一点声音
I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
但我宁愿被烧死在加拿大
It would likely burst your lungs
也不愿在这南方被冻死

推动那永恒之犁
Oh, stop me if I should sound
我们将会找到一把更锋利的剑
Kinda down in the mouth
或者再造一把新的
But I'd rather be burned in Canada
休息片刻同时放松你的眉头
Than to freeze here in the south
你没发现在这你不需要像奴隶那样工作吗

鞭子也早已成为历史了
Pulling that eternal plough
没有乐趣，也没有失落
We've got to find a sharper blade
现在我们可以安心回头望了
Or have a new one made
因为火焰已经化为灰烬
Rest awhile and cool your brow
我们现在终于能谈论它了
Don't you see there's no need to slave
我们现在终于能谈论它了
The whip is in the grave

No salt, no trance
It's safe now to take a backward glance
Because the flames have turned to chalk
We can talk about it now

We can talk about it now
~~end~~
