1.The Great Deceiver

大骗子

Health-food faggot with a bartered bride

Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride

Once had a friend with a cloven foot

Once he called the tune in a chequered suit

食物加上一个被交换来的新娘

就像用长柄梳子去梳理他的头发

曾经有一个双脚分叉的朋友

曾经他穿着多变的西装唱着调子

Great Deceiver

大骗子

In the door on the floor in a paper bag

There's a shoe-shine boy with a gin-shop slag

She raised him up and she called him son

And she canonised the ground that he walked upon

在门内，地板上有个纸袋子

这儿有擦鞋童和酒馆的炉渣

她扶起他，叫他为孩子

她将他走过的地方封为圣地

Great Deceiver

大骗子

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary

香烟，冰激凌，圣母玛利亚的雕像

香烟，冰激凌，圣母玛利亚的雕像

Cigarettes, ice cream, Cadillacs, blue jeans

香烟，冰激凌，凯迪拉克，蓝色牛仔裤

In the night he's a star in the Milky Way

He's a man of the world by the light of day

A golden smile and a proposition

And the breath of God smells of sweet sedition

在晚上，他是银河的星星

通过白天的光，他是世界的主人

一个金色的微笑和一个提议

上帝的呼吸闻起来像甜蜜的暴动

Great Deceiver

大骗子

Sing hymns, make love, get high, fall dead

He'll bring his perfume to your bed

He'll charm your life till the cold wind blows

Then he'll sell your dreams to a picture show

唱赞美诗，做爱，高潮，坠亡

他会把他的香味带到你的床上

他会诱惑你的人生，直到凉风吹过

然后他会把你的梦想卖给一个画展

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary

Cadillacs, blue jeans, Dixieland playing on the ferry

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary

Cadillacs, blue jeans, Dixieland playing on the ferry

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary

Cadillacs, blue jeans, Dixieland playing on the ferry

Cigarettes, ice cream, figurines of the Virgin Mary

Camel hair, Brylcreem, drop a glass full of antique sherry

香烟，冰激凌，圣母玛利亚的雕像

香烟，冰激凌，圣母玛利亚的雕像

凯迪拉克，蓝色牛仔裤，迪克西兰爵士乐在渡口响起

香烟，冰激凌，圣母玛利亚的雕像

凯迪拉克，蓝色牛仔裤，迪克西兰爵士乐在渡口响起

香烟，冰激凌，圣母玛利亚的雕像

凯迪拉克，蓝色牛仔裤，迪克西兰爵士乐在渡口响起

香烟，冰激凌，圣母玛利亚的雕像

骆驼毛，发蜡，滴落一杯古老的雪利酒

2.Lament

哀叹

翻译：neferpitou

I guess I tried to show you how

我想我试过告诉你

I'd take the crowd with my guitar

我会如何用我的吉他吸引观众

And business men would clap their hands

而商人会拍拍他们的手

And clip another fat cigar

再夹一支大雪茄

And publishers would spread the news

出版商将传播新闻

And print my music far and wide

将我的音乐广泛登载

And all the kids who played the blues

以及所有演奏布鲁斯的孩子

Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide

会学我用滑棒卷舐吉他

But now it seems the bubble's burst

但现在看来泡沫破裂了

Although you know there was a time

即使你知道曾有一段时间

Love songs gathered in my head

情歌聚集在我的脑海

Poetry in every line

每一行歌词都带有诗意

And strong men strove to hold the doors

强者力求肩住门闸

While with my friends I passed that reach

当我和朋友通过门辖

When people stomped on dirty floors

当人们踩在肮脏的地板上

Before I trod the rock'n'roll stage

在我踏过摇滚舞台之前

I'll thank the man who's on the 'phone

我要感谢打电话的那个人

And if he's got some time to spend

如果他有时间

The problem I'll explain once more

我就再解释一遍问题

And indicate a sum to lend

That ten percent is now a joke

现在百分之十是一个笑话

Maybe thirty, even thirty-five

也许百分之三十，甚至百分之三十五

I'll say my daddy's had a stroke

我会说我爸爸中风了

He'd have one now, if he only was alive

如果他还在世，他可能已中风

I like the way you look at me

我喜欢你看着我的方式

You're laughing too, down there inside

你内心里也是在笑

I took my chance and you took yours

我们各行各路

You crewed my ship, we missed the tide

你掌了我的船，我们错过了浪潮

I like the way the music goes

There's a few good guys who can play it right

有几个可以正确演奏它的好家伙

I like the way it moves my toes

我喜欢它使我摇摇欲摆的方式

Just say when you want to go and dance all night

只是说当你想去彻夜跳舞之时

3.We'll Let You Know

我们会让你知道

4.The Night Watch

守夜

Shine, shine, the light of good works shine

The watch before the city gates depicted in their prime

The golden light all grimy now

Three hundred years have passed

The worthy Captain and his squad of troopers standing fast

闪耀，闪耀，伟大作品的光芒闪耀

城市大门前的守卫这样描述他们的全盛时期

现在黄金光芒全部变得污秽肮脏了

三百年的时光过去

杰出的队长和他的一队骑兵依然稳稳坚守着

The artist knew their faces well

The husbands of his lady friends

His creditors and councillors

In armour bright, the merchant men

Official moments of the guild

In poses keen from bygone days

City fathers frozen there

Upon the canvas dark with age

艺术家们很熟悉他们的脸

他们是他的女性朋友的丈夫

他的债权人和顾问

在明亮的盔甲中，一个商人

行业工会的官方时刻

从过去的日子中构成了挽歌

城市教会在这儿冻结

在岁月中，黑色帆布的上面

The smell of paint, a flask of wine

And turn those faces all to me

The blunderbuss and halberd-shaft

And Dutch respectability

They make their entrance one by one

Defenders of that way of life

Redbrick home, the bourgeoisie

And guitar lessons for the wife

油漆的味道，一瓶酒

把这些脸都转向我

短枪和戟与捡

以及荷兰式的体面

他们一个个建立他们的入口

这种生活方式的防御者

新大学的家，资产阶级

以及给妻子的吉他课程

So many years we suffered here

Our country racked with Spanish wars

Now comes a chance to find ourselves

Quiet reigns behind our doors

Think about posterity again

这么多年我们在这里受苦

我们的国家被西班牙的战争折磨着

现在有一个机会去发现我们自己

和平在我们门后统治

再次想象我们的子孙后代

So the pride of little men

The burghers good and true

Still living through the painter's hands

Request you all to understand

所以小人物的自豪

市民们是好的和真诚的

依然在画家的手中生存

请求你们所有人的理解

5.Trio

三重奏

6.The Mincer

绞肉机

Fingers reaching,

Fingers freaking.

Jump at a scream.

Goodnight, honey.

You're all alone,

Baby, breathing.

They come better looking,

But they don't come madder.

伸出手指，该死的手指，在尖叫声上跳。

晚安，亲爱的，你独自一人。

宝贝，呼吸。他们变得更好看，但他们没有变得更疯狂。

7.Starless and Bible Black

无星暗夜圣经黑

8.Fracture

断裂
