Dry County

Dry County

干涸的国度





【歌词】



Across the border they turn

Water into wine

Some say it's the devil's blood

They're squeezing from the vine

Some say it's a saviour 

In these hard and desperate times

For me it helps me to forget

That we're just born to die

穿越生死的界限人们将

苦涩的水酿成美味的酒

有人说那是恶魔的血液 

它们是从葡萄中被榨取

有人说那是救世主的药

在这艰难绝望的时代里

对我而言它帮助我遗忘

忘记生来只是走向死亡



I came here like so many did

To find the better life

To find my piece of easy street

To finally be alive

And I know nothing good comes easy

And all good things take some time

I made my bed I'll lie in it

To die in it's the crime

我和许多人一样来到这里

为寻找体味更美好的人生 

寻找一条舒适的街道

安家落户生殖繁衍

我知道世间没有不劳而获

美好总要耗费时间去等待

我想躺在床上无所事事 

但这样死去是一种罪恶



You can't help but prosper

Where the streets are paved with gold

They say the oil wells ran deeper here

than anybody's known

I packed up on my wife and kid

And left them back at home

Now there's nothing in this pay dirt

The ghosts are all I know

Now the oil's gone

The money's gone

And the jobs are gone

Still we're hanging on

你在追逐着名利

街道上物欲横流

人们说这里的油井可以挖得比贪婪的人心还深 

我告别了妻儿老小

把他们抛弃在家中

现在这里已无利可图

行尸走肉活见鬼

现在石油枯竭

金钱被花光了

工作也找不到

只有我们还在游荡



Down in dry county

They're swimming in the sand

Praying for some holy water

To wash the sins from off our hand

Here in dry county

The promise has run dry

Where nobody cries

And no one's getting out of here alive

看看这干涸的国度

人们在沙漠里游泳

祈祷能有圣水降落

去洗刷双手的罪恶 

在这干涸的国度

诺言早已经枯竭

人们不再哭泣落泪 

也没人能活着离去



In the blessed name of Jesus

I heard a preacher say

That we are God's children

And He'd be back someday

And I hoped that he knew

Something as he drank his cup of wine

I didn't have too good of a feeling

As I head out to the night

以耶稣圣子之名 

我听到牧师说教 

我们是神的孩子 

有一天，他会回到我们的身边

我希望他能知道

有些事情正如他喝光的杯中美酒

我感觉有种不良预兆

当我孤独行走黑夜中 



I cursed the sky to open

I begged the clouds for rain

I prayed to God for water

For this burning in my veins

It was like my soul's on fire

And I had to watch the flames

All my dreams went up in ashes

And my future blew away

Now the oil's gone

The money's gone

And the jobs are gone

Still we're hangin' on

我诅咒天空开裂

我乞求云朵降雨 

我祈祷上帝洒落圣洁的水 

这些渴求在我的血液中灼烧 

就好像黑暗灵魂在浴火重生 

我注视着这火焰 

我所有梦想随之灰飞 

我的未来也随风逝去 

现在石油枯竭

金钱被花光了

工作也不见了

只有我们还在游荡 



Down in dry county

They're swimming in the sand

Praying for some holy water

To wash the sins from off our hand

Here in dry county

The promise has run dry

Where nobody cries

And no one's getting out of here alive

看看这干渴的国度

人们在沙漠里游泳

祈祷能有圣水降落

去洗刷双手的罪恶 

在这干渴的国度

诺言早已经枯死

人们不会哭泣落泪 

也没人能活着离去



Men spend their whole lives

Waiting praying for their big reward

But it seems sometimes

The payoff leaves you feeling

Like a dirty whore

If I could choose the way I'll die

Make it by the gun or knife

'Cause the other way there's too much pain

Night after night after night

人们耗费着生命

祈祷最大限度的回报

但是似乎有时候

所得回报让你觉得你

像一个廉价污秽的妓女 

如果我可以选择，我宁愿去死 

我会用枪或刀去死

因为生活有太多的无奈何和苦痛 

日复一日夜复一夜...



Down in dry county

They're swimming in the sand

Praying for some holy water

To wash the sins from off our hand

Here in dry county

The promise has run dry

Where nobody cries

And no one's getting out of here alive

看看这干涸的国度

人们在沙漠里游泳

祈祷能有圣水降落

去洗刷双手的罪恶 

在这干渴的国度

诺言早已经枯竭

人们不再哭泣落泪 

也没人能活着离去
