XTC
books are burning (2001 remaster) 歌詞
Books are burning
書籍在燃燒
In the main square, and I saw there
在那主廣場上,我看見
The fire eating the text
火焰吞噬了一頁頁文字
Books are burning
書籍被焚毀
In the still air
在靜止的空氣裡
And you know where they burn books
要知道,在他們焚燒書籍的地方
People are next
下一個輪到的就是人了
I believe the printed word should be forgiven
我相信,紙上印刷的文字應被寬恕
Doesnt matter what it said
無論它講述了什麼
Wisdom hotline from the dead back to the living
把智慧從僵死之物傳遞給生者
Key to the larder for your heart and head
它是打開你心靈和思想儲藏室的鑰匙
Books are burning
書籍在燃燒
In our own town,
在我們的小鎮上
watch us turn round
看著我們轉過身去
And cast our glances elsewhere
並把目光投向別處
Books are burning
書籍被焚毀
In the playground
在那操場上
Smell of burnt book is not unlike human hair
焚書的氣味和頭髮燒焦的氣味不太一樣
I believe the printed word is more than sacred
我相信印刷出來的文字不僅僅是神聖的
Beyond the gauge of good or bad
更不如說,它超越了好或壞本身
The human right to let your soul fly free and naked
讓靈魂自由而赤裸地飛翔,是你的權利
Above the violence of the fearful and sad
超越了恐懼和悲傷的暴力
The church of matches
火柴做的教堂
Anoints in ignorance with gasoline
無知地用汽油膏人
The church of matches
火柴做的教堂
Grows fat by breathing in the smoke of dreams
呼吸著夢想的煙霧長胖
Its quite obscene
這太污穢了
Books are burning
書籍在燃燒
More each day now,
數量與日俱增
and I pray now
我正在祈禱
You boys will tire of these games
你們這些傢伙會厭倦了這種遊戲
Books are burning
書籍在燃燒
I hope somehow,
我希望
this will allow
這會使
A phoenix up from the flames
鳳凰自火焰中涅槃而升
