Paroles et traduction 許哲珮 - 没落贵族

没落贵族

中古時期流傳而來的故事
沒落貴族住在鐵絲搭建的城堡房子 紙箱當桌子
地毯是舊報紙 還印著當年趾高氣昂的樣子
華麗水晶吊飾 沾滿蜘蛛絲 像是荒廢了一輩子

他放不下陳年往事高調了一世
沒落貴族守著僅剩的自尊仍傲慢固執 磨損的鑽石
狂妄不羈的城市在夢裡依舊豪華極致
窮人家的孩子 躲在暗處凝視 這一桌美味佳肴多精緻
空著肚子 啃著手指 卻滿足吸食空氣中的仁慈

一場爭奪併吞摧毀貴族優勢 那高帽子顯得滑稽諷刺
狼狽的紳士 挺著抹黑的領子
鑲金杯子換來一頓填飽肚子 雪白蕾絲染了紅印子
流亡的公主 少了佣人服侍
學不會 生存的意思

捧在掌心的幸福它墜落 一顆顆脆弱的泡沫
愛消失無蹤 剩下真實的臉孔
原來現實來的那麼從容 睡夢中我無力閃躲
懂還是不懂 剩下我留在角落

那場爭奪併吞摧毀貴族優勢 仰望月光也顯得奢侈
誰能告訴我 一首詩能不能吃
鑲金杯子換來一頓填飽肚子 一顆蘋果能有多奢侈
卻也填不滿 心裡空虛的未知
學不會 生存的意思

他以為 一切混亂只是暫時
還以為 一切混亂只是暫時

中古時期流傳而來的故事
沒落貴族住在鐵絲搭建的城堡房子 長了白鬍子
一把新的鑰匙 卻鎖不住暗夜時光依舊飛逝
窮人家的孩子 在暗處凝視 伸手為他蓋上影子
結束他的故事

The Declining Aristocracy

An old story passed down from the Middle Ages
The declining aristocracy lives in a castle house made of wire, cardboard tables
Old newspaper carpets, still printed with the arrogance of the past
Luxurious crystal chandeliers covered with cobwebs, as if abandoned for a lifetime

Unable to let go of the past, he has been flamboyant all his life
The declining aristocracy clings to his remaining dignity, still arrogant and stubborn, a worn-out diamond
The extravagant and uninhibited city is still luxurious and exquisite in his dreams
The poor man's child, hiding in the dark, watching this table of delicacies, so exquisite
On an empty stomach, sucking on his fingers, but satisfyingly inhaling the kindness in the air

A fight for supremacy destroys the aristocracy's advantage, that tall hat looks ridiculous and ironic
The embarrassed gentleman, with his blackened collar
The gold-rimmed cup is exchanged for a full stomach, and the snow-white lace is stained with red
The exiled princess, without servants to serve her
Can't learn the meaning of survival

The happiness held in the palm of my hand, it falls, fragile bubbles
Love disappears, leaving only the real face
Reality came so calmly, I couldn't dodge it in my sleep
Understanding or not, I'm left in the corner

That fight for supremacy destroyed the nobility's advantage, it's a luxury to even look at the moonlight
Who can tell me, can a poem be eaten?
The gold-rimmed cup is exchanged for a full stomach, how extravagant can an apple be?
But it can't fill the unknown emptiness in my heart
Can't learn the meaning of survival

He thought all the chaos was just temporary
He still thought all the chaos was just temporary

An old story passed down from the Middle Ages
The declining aristocracy lives in a castle house made of wire, with a white beard now
A new key, but can't lock the dark night, time still flies
The poor man's child, watching in the dark, reached out to cover him with a shadow
Ending his story
