Lyrics and translation 陳昇 - 舞台劇

舞台劇

撑著一段过期的情感 像啃著干瘪的苹果
描述一段不高不低的爱情 不如一顿灾难的晚餐
说起来也不是有什么人 或对或错 是吧
硬要演下去的舞台剧 像是暗夜里喝了假酒
You got hold on You better hold on
然而我只是在想 然而我只是想了又想
你必须要撑住
在激情的时候说出我爱你 怎么会是脑袋发烫
不是说了就应该负责 谁在男女之间设了通关密语
突然想起了勇敢的范岛爱和慌张的马克白
不晓得你哪来的情趣 说要去看朋友演的舞台剧
不是因为下著雨 也不是因为夜车里有股阴霾的气息
说起来也不是对什么突然失去了情趣 是吧
然而最荒谬的舞台剧 只会让人发觑 而且少有美女
You got hold on You got hold on
然而我只是在想 我想了又想
你必须要撑住
不能在激情的时候 要人家说出我爱你
不正像看了发觑的舞台剧 再给自己添了许多的无趣
突然想起苦涩的Tom Waits和甜甜的长颈忧
这乐园一样的城市啊 再也沸腾不起来
城里的人们著了魔 放任了岁月去了黄昏
去看舞台剧的夜车啊 它要开往天堂
而我做为一个情人的身份 也逐渐模糊
You got hold on
You better hold on
然而我只是在想 然而我只是想了又想
你必须要 你必须要
撑到下一回合
You got hold on
You got hold on You got hold on
You better hold on
You better hold on

Stage play

Holding on to an expired emotion like gnawing on a shrivelled apple
Describing a middling romance is like a disastrous dinner
Thinking about it, it's not like anyone is right or wrong
A stage play that has to be endured is like drinking fake alcohol in the dead of night
You got hold on You better hold on
Yet I can't help but think, I can't help but think again
You have to hold on
To say I love you in the heat of passion, how could it be just a rush of blood to the head
It doesn't mean you should be held responsible, who set up this secret code between men and women
Suddenly I think of the courageous Fanny Adam and the flustered Macbeth
I don't know what possessed you to suggest we go and see your friend's stage play
It's not because it's raining, and it's not because there's a gloomy atmosphere on the night train
Thinking about it, it's not like I've suddenly lost interest in anything
Yet the most absurd stage plays can only make people feel awkward, and there are rarely any beautiful women
You got hold on You got hold on
Yet I can't help but think, I can't help but think again
You have to hold on
You can't ask someone to say I love you in the heat of passion
Isn't it like watching an awkward stage play and then giving yourself even more boredom
Suddenly I think of the bitter Tom Waits and the sweet Long Neck Blues
This paradise-like city can no longer be roused
The people in the city are bewitched, letting the years slip into twilight
The night train to the stage play, it's bound for heaven
And my identity as a lover is gradually fading
You got hold on
You better hold on
Yet I can't help but think, I can't help but think again
You have to, you have to
Hold on until the next round
You got hold on
You got hold on You got hold on
You better hold on
You better hold on
