Текст и перевод песни 羅大佑 - 之乎者也 (Live)

之乎者也 (Live)

知之为知之 在乎不在乎
此人何其者 孔老夫子也
知之为不知 不在不在乎
此人何其者 寒山子是也
不知为知之 不在乎在乎
此人何其者 齐人是也
很久以前我们的祖先都曾经这么说
很久以前我们的祖先都曾经这么说
现在听听我们的青年他们在讲什么
但是要想想到底你要他们怎么做
剪刀等待之 清汤挂面乎
尊师重道者 莫过如此也
风花雪月之 哗啦啦啦乎
流行歌曲者 是否如此也

很久以前我们的祖先都曾经这么说
很久以前我们的祖先都曾经这么说
现在听听我们的青年他们在讲什么
但是要想想到底你要他们怎么做
眼睛睁一只 嘴巴呼一呼
耳朵遮一遮 皆大欢喜也
大家都知之 大家都在乎
袖手旁观者 你我是也

The "Zhis" and "Yus" (Live)

To know and to know that you know is worth it or it isn't worth it
Who could this person be, Confucius the Philosopher?
To know and to not know that you don't know is worth it or it isn't worth it
Who could this person be, Master Han Shan?
Not to know and to know that you don't know, it's worth it or it isn't worth it
Who could this person be, the people of Qi?
Long ago our ancestors all used to say this.
Long ago our ancestors all used to say this.
Now listen to what our young people have to say.
But just think, in the end, what is it you want them to do?
Scissors waiting for clear broth with noodles, is that it?
Respecting your teachers is like that, is it not?
Pleasure, moon, snow and flowers and la-la-la and la-la-la, is that it?
Pop Songs, is that what it is?

Long ago our ancestors all used to say this.
Long ago our ancestors all used to say this.
Now listen to what our young people have to say.
But just think, in the end, what is it you want them to do?
Keep one eye open, and your mouth humming along,
Cover one ear, and we're all happy, is that it?
Everyone knows it, and everyone cares about it,
Standing on the sidelines, you and I, aren't we?
