Ballad of the Dying Man - Father John Misty

Naturally the dying man wonders to himself

通常来说 将死之人总是对自己心存幻想

Has commentary been more elusive than anybody else

文字注释会比哪个人更难捉摸吗

And had he successfully beaten back the rising tide

他成功地击退了那些

Of idiots dilettantes and fools

白痴 半吊子和傻瓜们的流言蜚语吗

On his watch while he was alive

在他还活着的时候看着他的手表

Lord just a little more time

上帝 再给我一点时间

Oh in no time at all

很快了

This'll be the distant past

这些都会成为遥远的过去

Ooh

So says the dying man once I'm in the box

将死之人说 等我到棺材里的时候

Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok

想着所有被高估的黑客横行

And all of the pretentious ignorant voices that will go unchecked

所有那些自命不凡的 无知的声音将会不受控制

The homophobes hipsters and 1

憎恨同性恋的人 嬉皮士们和那1%的富人

The false feminists he'd managed to detect

他发现的那些假女权主义者

Oh who will critique them once he's left

等他离世之后 谁去批判他们呢

Oh in no time at all

很快了

This'll be the distant past

这些都会成为遥远的过去

What he'd give for one more day to rate and analyze

再给他一天时间去评价和分析 他会有什么贡献

The world made in his image as of yet

世界在他的意识中形成

To realize what a mess to leave behind

最终意识到留下的是一团糟

Eventually the dying man takes his final breath

最后 这个将死之人咽下了最后一口气

But first checks his news feed to see what he's 'bout to miss

他先看了看新闻 看他将会错过什么

And it occurs to him a little late in the game

但是他晚了一步

We leave as clueless as we came

我们离开人世时 就像初生时一样无知

For the rented heavens to the shadows in the cave

从租来的天堂 到洞穴中的阴暗处

We'll all be wrong someday

总有一天 我们会错得一败涂地

Oh

Oh

Oh
