The Book – 英语/中文 双语歌词

• 作者: Glum Aleks

歌词与翻译

[中文]

（呻吟）

嗯

（音乐）

我在寂静尘埃中找到一本乐谱。

书脊低语着，背叛你的信任。

它的书页呼吸着，像活着的皮肤，

邀请我向内看去。没有

炽热的咒语，没有神圣的真理，

它们割裂黑暗。而

我胆敢描摹的每一行，都在我的脑海中解开了

某些东西。

它没有教我如何去做。

它教我我一直有多么愚蠢。

这本书改写了我内心的羞耻。

它揭示了我们所见的代价。

没有符咒，没有把戏，没有

午夜的火焰，只有每一个瑕疵。我试图

驯服它，将目光投向我隐藏的东西。

一面从内部磨砺的镜子。

我打开它，想要学习钥匙。

它打开了我。 （音乐）

它（音乐）讲述了爱如何弯曲

选择的脊梁，在扭曲的

线条中雕刻。它（音乐）展示了渴望

如何束缚意志。沉默如何教导

得更深。然而（音乐）每一章都蕴含着

一个安静的伤口，一个教训，既不迟

也不早。 （音乐）而当我（歌唱）

阅读时，我明白了为什么有些真相对我们毫无益处。

那本该闪耀的魔法。

It was a magic meant to shine.

那是我的影子。

这本书改写了我（音乐）的形状。

它揭示了我们所见的代价。

没有符咒，没有把戏，没有午夜的火焰，

只有每一个瑕疵。我试图驯服它。

（音乐）将目光投向我隐藏的东西。

一面从内部磨砺的镜子。我打开

它，想要学习钥匙。

敞开心扉。（音乐）

（音乐）

如果智慧带来伤痛，那就让它留下。如果

悲伤倾诉，我会倾听它的声音。我

合上书，但它仍然在我的选择中书写，

日日夜夜。（音乐）

night.

（音乐）

（音乐）

（音乐）

这本书为我而写。它没有询问，

它没有逃避。它从我的名字中带走了幻觉，

让我明白我们不再相同。没有施咒，

没有命运，只有真理提炼成信条。

just truth distilled into a creed.

（音乐）我终于看清了这些话。

一切都源于我。

（音乐）

[英语]

[groaning]

Y

[music]

I found a [music] book in silent dust. A

spine that whispered break your trust.

Its pages breathe like living [music]

skin inviting me to look within. No

spells of fire. No sacred righteous

truths that cut away the night. And

every line I dared to trace unraveled

something in my mind.

It didn't teach me how to.

It taught me how I've been a fool.

The book rewrote the [music] shame of

me. It showed the cost of what we see.

No charms, no [music] tricks, no

midnight flame, just every flaw. I tried

to tame it. Turn my gaze on what I hide.

A mirror [music] sharpened from inside.

I opened it to learn the key.

It opened me. [music]

It [music] spoke of love that bends the

spine of choices carved in crooked

lines. It [music] showed how longing

chains the will. How silence teaches

deeper. Still [music] each chapter held

a quiet wound, a lesson, neither late

nor soon. [music] And as [singing] I

read, I understood why some truth never

do us good.

It was a magic meant to shine.

It was the shadow CAST BY MINE.

The book rewrote [music] the shape of

me. It showed the cost of what we see.

No charms, no tricks, no midnight flame,

just every fly. I tried to tame it.

[music] Turn my gaze on what I hide. A

mirror sharpened from inside. I opened

it to learn the key.

Get open. [music]

[music]

If wisdom cuts, then let it stay. If

sorrow speaks, I'll hear its way. I

close the book, but still it writes

across my choices [music] days and

night.

[music]

[music]

[music]

The book we wrote for me. It didn't ask,

it didn't flee. It took illusion [music]

from my name and left me clear are not

the same. No spell was cast. No fate was

just truth distilled into a creed.

[music] I saw this words to finally see.

It's all through me.

[music]
