The Suburbs – 英语/中文 双语歌词

• 作者: Arcade Fire

歌词与翻译

[中文]

在郊区，我学会了开车

你告诉我我们永远不会活下来

拿上你妈妈的钥匙，我们要走了

...

你总是显得那么确定

有一天我们会打架

在一场郊区战争中

你那边的城镇对抗我的

我看到你站在对岸

但当第一颗炸弹落下时

我们已经感到无聊

我们已经，已经感到无聊

有时我简直不敢相信

我正在超越这种感觉

有时我简直不敢相信

我又在超越这种感觉

...

孩子们想要变得如此坚强

但在我的梦中我们仍在尖叫

在院子里奔跑

当他们在七十年代建造的所有墙壁

终于倒塌时

他们在七十年代建造的所有房子

终于倒塌时

这完全没有意义？

这完全没有意义

这毫无意义

有时我简直不敢相信

我正在超越这种感觉

有时我简直不敢相信

我正在超越这种感觉

走进夜晚

...

所以你能理解吗

为什么我想在年轻时要个女儿？

我想牵着她的手

给她展示一些美好

在这伤害发生之前

但如果这要求太高

如果这要求太高

那就给我一个儿子

...

在高架桥下

在停车场，我们仍在等待

这已经过去了

所以把你的脚从热水泥上移开

走进草地

因为这已经过去了

这已经，已经过去了

有时我简直不敢相信

我正在超越这种感觉

有时我简直不敢相信

我正在超越这种感觉

...

我正在超越这种感觉

...

我正在超越这种感觉

...

在我的梦中我们仍在尖叫

...

我们仍在尖叫

我们仍在尖叫

...

[英语]

In the suburbs I, I learned to drive

And you told me we'd never survive

Grab your mother's keys, we're leaving

You always seemed so sure

That one day we'd be fighting

In a suburban war

Your part of town against mine

I saw you standing on the opposite shore

But by the time the first bombs fell

We were already bored

We were already, already bored

Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling

Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling again

The kids want to be so hard

But in my dreams we're still screaming

And running through the yard

When all of the walls that they built

In the seventies finally fall

And all of the houses they built

In the seventies finally fall

Meant nothing at all?

Meant nothing at all

It meant nothing

Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling

Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling

And into the night

So can you understand

Why I want a daughter while I'm still young?

I want to hold her hand

And show her some beauty

Before this damage is done

But if it's too much to ask

If it's too much to ask

Then send me a son

Under the overpass

In the parking lot, we're still waiting

It's already passed

So move your feet from hot pavement

And into the grass

'Cause it's already passed

It's already, already passed

Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling

Sometimes I can't believe it

I'm moving past the feeling again

I'm moving past the feeling

I'm moving past the feeling

In my dreams we're still screaming

We're still screaming

We're still screaming
