A Singer Must Die

A Singer Must Die 歌詞
Now, the courtroom is quiet but who will confess?
現在法庭安靜下來了,但是誰會來懺悔呢?
Is it true you betrayed us?
你背叛了我們,這是真的嗎?
The answer is yes
答案是肯定的
Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine
那就把罪名清單念給我聽吧,那屬於我的罪行
I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline
我請求寬恕,而你喜歡拒絕
And all the ladies go moist and the judge has no choice
所有的女人都眼含淚水,法官沒有選擇
A singer must die for the lie in his voice
歌手必須死,因為他聲音中的謊言
And I thank you,
而我感謝你
I thank you for doing your duty
感謝你履行了你的職責
You keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty
你是真理的守護者,你是美的守護者
Your vision is right, my vision is wrong
你的眼光是對的,而我是錯的
Im sorry for smudging the air with my song
我很抱歉,我的歌熏染了空氣
Oh the night, it is thick, my defenses are hid
噢,在這濃重的夜色中,我卸下了防備
In the clothes of a woman
穿著女人的衣服
I would like to forgive
我選擇原諒
In the rings of her silk, in the hinge of her thighs
在她的絲綢戒指裡,在她的大腿鉸鏈中
Where I have to go begging in beautys disguise
在那裡,我必須在美的偽裝中乞討
Oh goodnight, goodnight, my night after night
噢,晚安晚安。這夜復一夜......
My night after night, after night, after night
我的夜復一夜,夜復一夜......

我是如此的害怕
I listen to you
我聆聽著你
Your sun glassed protectors they do that to you
你的太陽鏡保護他們那樣對你
Its their ways to detain, their ways to disgrace
他們這樣拘留你,他們這樣羞辱你
Their knee in your balls and their fist in your face
他們的膝蓋打在你的頭上,他們的拳頭打在你的臉上
Yes and long live the state by whoever its made
是的,國家萬歲!
Sir, I didnt see nothing,
但是先生,我剛才什麼都沒看見
I was just getting homelate
我只是回家太晚了
