标题[翻译] Havok-Give Me Liberty...or Give me Death
时间Sat Nov 9 00:59:54 2013
啊啊,这篇是我头一次在这板上发文(除了自介文),请多指教。
因为最近社会上发生的事情,这首歌完全让我欲罢不能,
每天都大概听两三遍(早晚各一次)去了还不腻
Havok的这首Give Me Liberty...or Give Me Death
是针对美国政府的腐败以及过大的权力而写
虽然是在骂美国政府,但我不晓得为何我对这首歌有相当大共鸣...
好,下面就是翻译部分,请享用
---
Cut the rotting branches of government that stop
The people from having meaning today
今天就把践踏人们意志的腐烂政府机关全砍掉吧
Stay out of my business and keep to yourself
Got to do things my own way
少插手管我的事,管好你自己。
我要照我的意志行事
Minimizing freedom with your rules and regulations
用规则与法令尽可能地限缩我们的自由
A never-ending hunger to control
Choking out the life of your own population
Abusing the power you hold
用永远停不下来的控制欲望
绑架人们的生活
滥用你手中的权力
POWER – CONTROL
权力 控制
Give me liberty...
Or give me death
给我自由,不然就让我死了吧
(此句即为「不自由,毋宁死」的原句,只是我觉得这句直接用在这有点怪)
Death to our independence, death to those who fight
独立已死,抗争的人们已死
Death to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
宪法与权利法案已死
Showing no regard for the way things ought to be
对於事情本该有的样子毫不关心
Stripping away rights from you and me
从你我的手中剥夺我们的权益
The founding fathers would be rolling in their graves
If they could see what you are doing to this place
开国先驱们如果知道你们在这块土地上干了什麽好事
他们一定会气到从坟墓里跳出来
The next thing to go is our freedom of speech
So I'll speak up while I still can and maximize my reach
下一个失去的是我们的言论自由
所以,在我还能自由的开口时,我要尽我所能的大声说出来
I find it hard to believe
我知道这很难相信
Some things are better left unsaid
有些事情不说可能会比较好
Is it the land of the free?
这里真的是自由的国度吗?
Democracy is dead
民主已死
"When the people fear the government there is tyranny.
When the government fears the people, there is liberty."
当人民恐惧政府,即为暴政;当政府恐惧人民,方有自由。
