Not Waving, But Drowning-Loyle Carner

[00:00.00] 作词 : Stevie Smith/Jordan Rakei [00:01.00] 作曲 : Stevie Smith/Jordan Rakei [00:09.03]I read about a man getting drowned once
我曾读到过一位男人,他溺过一次水 [00:12.43]His friends thought he was waving to them
他的朋友们都以为他是在海里向他们挥手打招呼 [00:14.74]From the sea but really, he was drowning
但实际上,他正在被海水浸溺 [00:17.27]And then I thought that, in a way, it is true of life too
就那么一下我突然觉得,从某方面来说,生活也不过是这样 [00:22.07]That a lot of people pretend, out of bravery really
许多人都出于勇敢而去伪装 [00:25.86]That they are very jolly and ordinary sort of chaps
就好像是只是一群很快乐的,很普通的家伙们 [00:28.72]But really they do not feel at home at all in the world
但实际上他们在这个世界上一点也没有家的归属感 [00:32.32]Or able to make friends easily
或者一点也不善于交际 [00:34.64]So then they joke a lot and laugh
所以他们开起玩笑,然后放声大笑 [00:37.51]And people think they're quite alright and jolly nice too
于是周围的人们就会觉得他们过得很好很开心 [00:40.31]But sometimes that brave pretense breaks down
但有些时候吧,勇敢的外表破碎掉 [00:44.15]And then, like the poor man in this poem, they are lost
接着,就如这位可怜人在诗中写道的一样,他们迷失了 [00:50.26]Not waving, but drowning
"并非在挥手,而是在沉溺"(出自Stevie Smith的诗歌) [00:53.48]
