1900独白—海上钢琴师
The end of the world
在世界的尽头
Take a piano
轻抚琴键
The keys begin, the keys end
琴声升起又落下
You know there are 88 of them and no-one can tell you differently
你知道它们一共有88个却没人告诉你他们的区别
They are not infinite, you are infinite
它们不是无穷无尽的,而你是
And on those 88 keys the music that you can make is infinite
在音乐里,你可以利用它们创造无限
I like that
我喜欢那样
That I can live by
那是我活下去的方式
But you get me up on that gangway
但是你让我从舷梯走下去
And roll out a keyboard with millions of keys
跟着千万个音符离开键盘
And that's the truth, there's no end to them
那是真的,他们是无止境的
That keyboard is infinite
那样的“键盘”是无限的
But if that keyboard is infinite, there's no music you can play
但如果键盘是无限的,你也就没有音乐可以弹奏了
You're sitting on the wrong bench
那条长凳不属于你
That's God's piano
因为那是上帝的钢琴
Christ, did you see the streets? There were thousands of them!
你看到那条路了吗?那里有千万个他们啊
How do you choose just one?
你怎能只选一个?
One woman, one house
一个女人,一个房子
One piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at
一片你自己的地,一片可观赏的风景
One way to die
一种死亡的方式
All that world weighing down on you without you knowing where it ends
你背负着整个世界,却不知道尽头在何处
Aren't you scared of just breaking apart
你不害怕被压垮吗?
Just thinking about it, the enormity of living in it?
想一想生活在其中的意义是什么
I was born on this ship
我在船上出生
The world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time.
那时,世界从我身旁走过,但那两千人没有
And there were wishes here
那就是希望所在
But never more than fit between prow and stern
但从来都不会多过这艘船,在船头和船尾之间
You played out your happiness on a piano that was not infinite
你在钢琴上传达出了你的快乐,然而那不是无穷的
I learned to live that way
我学到那样的生活方式
Land is a ship too big for me
而陆地对我来说是一艘过大的船
It's a woman too beautiful
是个太漂亮的美人
It's a voyage too long
是一条太长的航线
Perfume too strong
太浓的香水
It's music I don't know how to make
是一首不知该如何弹奏的乐曲
I can never get off this ship
我无法离开这艘船
I'm blessed I can step off my life
我没法舍弃这艘船,我宁可舍弃自己的生命
After all, I don't exist for anyone
反正,世间没人记得我
