Paroles et traduction 海朋森 - From Birth to the Present

From Birth to the Present

词曲：陈思江
他在雾霾之中，做着网络浪漫青涩之时的旧梦
她在对现实的逼视中工作、工作
他想知道什么叫生活
她想和小分队前去考察人类的丰碑
他知道，他还没有认清值得为之牺牲的
她学舞蹈
父母把她的身体从虚空中打捞
抖了抖那黑色的水银
把她放在木头基座上
我们的先祖和神明列队视察
絮絮叨叨地，他们说——
"他将成为模范职员！"
"他将成为地质学家！"
"而她呢？"
"她会成为黎明前的斥候。"
"当衰老逐渐占领他们的神经，"
"给他们应有的报酬，"
"还给他们远古的奇迹。"
"给他们勇气，"
"给他们耐心，"
"给他们从文学和流行中醒来的力气。"
"给他们勇气，"
"给他们耐心，"
"也给他们播放节目的时间！"

From Birth to the Present

Lyrics and music: Chen Si Jiang
He's having sentimental dreams of the internet's romantic and innocent early days amidst the smog
She works and works, staring down reality
He wants to know what life is all about
She wants to go on an expedition with her small team to study the monuments of human civilization
He knows he hasn't yet figured out what's worth sacrificing for
She studies dance
Her parents rescue her body from the void
Shaking off the black mercury
Placing her on a wooden pedestal
Our ancestors and gods line up to inspect
Muttering as they go——
"He will become a model employee!"
"He will become a geologist!"
"And her?"
"She will become a scout who goes out before dawn."
"When old age gradually takes over their minds,"
"Give them the rewards they deserve,"
"Give them back the miracles of the ancient world."
"Give them courage,"
"Give them patience,"
"Give them the strength to wake up from literature and pop culture."
"Give them courage,"
"Give them patience,"
"And give them time to watch their shows!"
