The Roots-歌词

Walk Us UPTOWN - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/The Roots

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

And wherever you go

无论你去到何处

You know we will follow

你知道，我们都会追随着你

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

And we'll stand in the light

我们会站在你的新杀场

Of your new killing ground

的光芒中

And we won't make a sound

我们不会发出声音

Except to sing our sorrow

我们只会唱出痛楚

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

While our tears run in torrents

当我们泪如雨下

To suffer in silence or pray for some solace

默默忍受痛苦或祈求些许慰藉

Will you wash away our sins

在枪林弹雨之中

In the cross-fire and cross-currents

你会洗去我们的罪恶吗

As you uncross your fingers

在你的手指不交叉

And take out some insurance

卸下心防时

No matter what the price

无论付出什么代价

It's your own paradise

这就是你自己的天堂

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

Some hearts are sinking

有人心绪低沉

And some hearts are a-flutter

有人蠢蠢欲动

Some scoop gold from the dirt in the gutter

有人在阴沟里摸索着，在污垢中淘金

Or swallow the earth

有人吞下这些污垢

Pouring into your mouth

吐进你的嘴里

As they bury us upright saying

当他们埋葬我们的时候，他们念念有词

'Everything's alright'

一切都会好起来的

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

Like some said that you could

有人说你能做到

We will feast on your flesh

我们会把你当做人肉大餐

And drink down your blood

将你的血一饮而尽

Will you haul down that flag

你会降下那面旗帜吗

And dishonour that vow

你会违背誓言吗？

Cause we must not change

因为，我们不能改变

It's color now

现在，一切都在变化

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

No matter what the price

无论付出什么代价

Each crushed in the corner of their own paradise

每个人都在自己天堂中的一隅崩溃了

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

That's always assuming

这始终是个假设

That you're partly divine and partly human

你既有神性，又有人性

You're the king of our hearts

你是我们心中的国王

You're the clown with the drum

你是个敲着鼓的小丑

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

If we promise not to run

如果我们发誓，我们不会逃跑

Will you walk us uptown

你会带我们去上城区吗

Will you gather us near

你会让我们依偎在你的身边吗

As cowards flee and traitors sneer

当懦夫逃跑了，叛徒冷笑着

Keep a red flag flying

就让红色的旗帜迎风飘扬吧

Keep a blue flag as well

也竖起一面蓝色的旗帜吧

And a white flag in case it all goes to hell

再竖起一面白色的旗帜，以免末日到来
