【歌詞翻譯】Handsome Furs - Serve the People


You don't serve the people!

  當警察淪為國家暴力的工具,將暴力合理化之時,人民是否該開始防備,而非忍受愚蠢的行為,因為躺在地上的那個人可能就是你我其中一個。送上 2011 年加拿大獨立搖滾雙人組 Handsome Furs 第三張專輯《Sound Kapital》中的單曲「Serve the People」,唱出極權主義下的鬱悶與恐懼,儘管不安卻仍抱持著一絲希望。

Lyrics 歌詞:(by 好青年 中譯)

Dogs in the capital howling at dawn
黎明時狗兒們在首都咆哮
Someone's driving by with the radio on
有人正開著收音機行駛過
Someone making noise from the centre of town
有人則在市中心製造噪音
You kick them in the head, and you kick them when they're down
你們朝著他們頭部踢去,儘管倒下仍不罷休
You don't serve the people
你們不為人民服務

50 million souls living out on the ground
五千萬個靈魂拼了命地死守在地上
50 million people gonna float, gonna drown
五千萬個人民將要漂泊、將被淹沒
From the north, from the north way down to Yangon
就從北方一路南下到仰光
Kids were making noise when the generator's on
發電機啟動引起孩童騷動
'Til the cops said "move along"
直到警察說:「快走開!」

Serve the people
請為人民服務
Anyone want to know?
有人想知道嗎?
They don't serve the people
他們不為人民服務
Keeping everything under control
只想完全掌控一切
Oh!
啊!

And it's diamonds and gold for the idiot sons
把鑽石和黃金都給了愚昧的孩子
All the privileged thieves gonna make things run
所有享特權的賊人打算意氣用事
Well, I believe in heart and apocalypse sound
好吧!我聽從自己和啟示的聲音
You kick them in the head, and you kick them when they're down
你們朝著他們頭部踢去,儘管倒下仍不罷休
And you don't serve them
你們不為他們服務

You don't serve them
你們不為他們服務
You don't serve the people
你們不為人民服務
No, you don't serve them
不,你們不為他們服務
No, no, you don't serve the people
完全沒有,你們不為人民服務

I feel a change

Saying, oh my god
說著我的天啊!
Waiting here so long, I feel a change
