丑陋和浮躁在大的时间尺度上无法生存——《Sooner or Later》Mat Kearney

孤城遥望玉门关

听到这首歌是因为看了Google Zeitgeist 2011。

为理想而努力，看着时间流逝，我们坚持自己认为正确的事，历史会验证一切。

因为丑陋和浮躁在大的时间尺度上无法生存。

视频是Google Zeitgeist 2011的河蟹版本，其中被404的部分是艺术家aww身穿一件写有Lost and Found的T恤衫。

阮一峰老师的部分翻译：

We're all standing with our backs against the wall, Sooner or later


或迟或早，退到无路可退


Waiting on a phone that never calls, at all


或迟或早，等一个永远不会来的电话


Heartbreak comes, rollin' in like a storm, Sooner or later


或迟或早，那样伤心，仿佛承受着风暴


Trying to swim but you're sinking like a stone, alone


或迟或早，想要游泳，却像石头一样沉下去


And I can feel fire in the night waiting here


黑夜中，等在这里，我感到内心在燃烧


Baby it's like we're walking on a wire through the fear


宝贝，我们的生活好像走钢丝，令人恐惧


Take my hand, we'll get there


那么，握着我的手，一切终会过去

歌词:

Sooner or Later - Mat Kearney

We’re all standing with our backs against the wall

Sooner or later

Waiting on a phone that never calls, at all

Heartbreak comes, rollin’ in like a storm

Sooner or later

Trying to swim but you’re sinking like a stone, alone

And I can feel fire in the night waiting here

Baby it’s like we’re walking on a wire through the fear

Take my hand, we’ll get there

Sooner or later, I swear we’re gonna make it, we’re gonna make it,

Sooner or later, I swear we’re gonna make it, we’re gonna make it

Milk and honey ’til we get our fill

I’ll keep chasing it, I always will

Sooner or later, I swear

We’ll make it there

Sooner than later

We’re all waiting on a dream that’s hard to own, sooner or later

Trying to feel the high without the low, you know

You can feel fire in the night lying here

Baby it’s like we’re walking on a

wire through the fear

Take my hand, we’ll get there

The fear inside, the hills we’ve climbed

The tears this side of

heaven, all these dreams inside of me

I swear we’re gonna get there
