Paroles et traduction 周國賢 - 大人的科學

大人的科學

點解火星忽然會爆炸
也許基因和姻緣未夾吧
問點解冰川忽然會暖化
那貪嗔痴和虛榮未放下

紅綠燈 點解它閃呀！
每日對住電腦
點解變到無感情 會發霉

Ooh 亦不知道 揀邊一隻藥膏
遮蓋到 這城內最糟
每天禱告 能否得到永生不老 ooh

大時代要隕落 播著邊首音樂
地球就快爆鑊 點樣至得救獲
問誰是隻豺狼 點先瓦解這鐵幕
不停發問 都未有回響
好比科學 好比數學 高深哲學

點解身體機能會退化
也許腰骨和尊嚴是軟吧
問點解一匹鹿能似隻馬
也許身家和光環未夠吧

而衛星 它會否可探測
世上每樣煩惱
假使想找到生路 要趁早

Ooh 如這國度 一早都無醫藥
通處都 污泥共糞土
誰也徒勞 你吞仙丹也修不到 ooh

大時代要隕落 播著邊首音樂
地球就快爆鑊 點樣至得救獲
問誰是隻豺狼 點先瓦解這鐵幕
這樣好學 無非想更加醒覺

地層任你去鑿 可否找到收穫
面皮是厚是薄 可否有把尺度
若然是你陣亡 邊位抹走你下落
不停發問 幾時有回響？
好比科學 好比數學 高深哲學

Science for Grown-Ups

Why did Mars suddenly explode
Maybe the genes and fate didn't match
Ask why the glacier suddenly warmed
Because you haven't let go of greed, hatred, delusion, and vanity

Traffic lights, why do they flash?
Facing the computer every day
Why do the feelings fade and grow mold?

Ooh, I don't know which ointment to choose
To cover up the worst in this city
Praying every day, can I get eternal life? Ooh

The great era is going to fall, what music is playing
The Earth is about to explode, how can I be saved?
Ask who is the wolf, how to break this iron curtain
Keep asking, but there is no answer
Like science, like math, like deep philosophy

Why do the body's functions deteriorate
Maybe the waist and the dignity are soft
Why does a deer look like a horse
Maybe the wealth and the halo are not enough

And the satellite, can it detect
Every worry in the world
If you want to find a way out, you have to do it early

Ooh, if this country didn't have any medicine
Everywhere is mud and manure
It's all in vain, you can't even cultivate an immortal medicine, ooh

The great era is going to fall, what music is playing
The Earth is about to explode, how can I be saved?
Ask who is the wolf, how to break this iron curtain
Studying like this is nothing more than wanting to be more awake

Let you dig the strata, can you find the harvest
Is the skin thick or thin, can there be a measure
If you are killed in action, who will erase your whereabouts
Keep asking, when will there be an answer?
Like science, like math, like deep philosophy
