天國 「TRIBUTE TO NUJABES」

Could be wrong but I think
可能我的想法是錯的但是在我看來
When you take center stage not a single eye blinks
當你站到舞台中央細細觀察
Some forced to squint
有些人會不自然地斜眼看你
In an awkward attempt
用一種令人不適的方式
To somehow filter your glow
莫名其妙地就濾掉你的光彩
But you know...
但是你明白...
That the polish of your armor got'em in a trance
當你擦亮裝甲就會令人著迷
Colors intertwine with the power of a dance
五顏六色在舞蹈的能量中交錯
Poetry in motion got'em in a stand still
充滿詩意的動作令人駐足流連
Eyes glaze over, jaws drop like anvils
目光變得呆滯驚詫於其中的美妙
A feeling you're wishing that even time can't kill
這是一種你渴求的感受一種甚至連時間都不能抹殺的感受
Sorry to inform you but it can and will
抱歉告訴了你太多個人的想法但是它就是有這樣的能力
So make the most of it
所以我付出我的所有
And folks love it
人們也熱愛它
Is it the bare essentials
這算生命中某種不可見的必要因素嗎
Or the bells and whistles
或是某段難以忘記的鈴聲和口哨聲
Can't tell initially but what remains
很難從最初的事和你說起但是有些東西會留下
When a fella's history is it the name
一個人在歷史的車輪中前進
That fades like memories
最後他的名字還不是像記憶一樣消逝了
Time will tell
時間會說明一切
You know that the divine's design prevails
你知道神學家的設想正在盛行
When the luster fades
當你的光華逝去
Will you be a legend or a distant memory
你會成為一個傳奇嗎？或僅僅是一個遙遠的記憶呢？
Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy
你會變成受人稱道的人嗎？或僅僅是一個浪費精力的人？
When they reminisce over you
當別人回憶起你
Will they front or give you your dues
他們會充滿力量向前嗎？還是僅僅給你你所應得之評價？
When the luster fades
當你的光華逝去
Will you make your mark or be written out of history
你會留下你自己的印記嗎？或僅僅是在歷史之外記下一筆你的名字？
Stimulate thought or become a nonentity
你會去激發自己的潛能嗎？或僅僅是成為一個無用之人？
When they reminisce over you
當別人回憶起你
Will they front or give you your dues

We're running out of time and it's funny I guess
我覺得我們會用儘自己的時間這件事很滑稽
'Cause we strive to make something that it is truly timeless
因為我們那麼努力去使某些事成為真正的永恆
That'll never tarnish
那些永遠不會褪色的東西
And maintain it's beauty
一直維持著它的美妙
But is that the nature of time?
但是這並不符合時間的規律
They say that we got 15 minutes to shine
他們說我們只有15分鐘去散發自己的光芒
But it's all relative
但是這些都是相對的主觀的
'Cause 15 minutes can feel like forever if
因為15分鐘足以讓人感到永恆
We don't believe that time flies
如果我們不願相信時間在流逝的話
But you that most are blind to The Inner Minds Eye
但是大多數人都對內心所見視而不見
Where people come and go with a blink
在人們來去之間那些閃著光的地方
And celebrate your memory and toast with a drink
觥籌交錯慶祝著彼此間的回憶
Making your exit as their next thought enters
讓你的離去就像他們下一個想法出現那麼簡單
You've made your deposit in their memory bank
你把你所剩的東西存進了他們的記憶銀行
Hoping one day eventually to gain interest
期待著某天終於能讓別人獲得一些樂趣
Instead of drawing blanks whenever your name's mentioned
而不是無論何時別人提起你的名字時都是一片空白
Hot today tomorrow you're cold & lonely
此刻熱烈又如何明天你還是空虛寂寞冷
Tell me where will these songs be...
告訴我這首歌是何種情況下出現的吧...
