【老鍵曲庫】Tony Joe White - Closer To The Truth (抵近真相 - 拙譯）

《抵近真相》

求生欲強烈
浪漫而瘋狂
漫步在時間的邊緣
如黑豹行在雨中

受人操縱的叛匪
罔顧律法
當白色種馬失蹄，驕傲落鞍
你抵近了真相

對意義的探尋仍在繼續
他們建起高聳的教堂
而我們握緊武器
依著黑暗的天空顯現

他們正剿滅雨林
建造沒有風景的房間
巨樹如多米諾骨牌傾倒
我們更加抵近真相

蒼鷹在山頂俯瞰
武士變為愚夫
當骰子在聖地拋擲
他們更抵近真相

誰來告訴孩子
河流曾如藍色水晶流淌
我們一邊添傷於地球母親
一邊抵近真相

 

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
