歌词
If I ever write my
若我为自由
Ode to Freedom
谱写一首颂歌
It will be in prose that chimes with me
它将以散文形式呈现,并发自肺腑
It would be a simple
它会是一首
Ode to Freedom
纯粹的“献给自由的颂歌”
Not pretentious, but with dignity
毫无矫饰炫耀,而散发着高尚的光芒
I would like to think that freedom is
我倾向于认为
More than just a word
“自由”这个字眼的含义不止流于纸面
In grand and lofty language
若以华丽堂皇、曲高和寡的语言作为载体
Odes to Freedom often go unheard
人们往往充耳不闻,使其湮灭于世间
If I ever wrote my
若我为自由
Ode to Freedom
谱写一首颂歌
Being privileged and spoilt for choice
有太多的创作体裁可供选择
Then I fear that you would
那么,我担忧
Be suspicious
自己为自由发声的初衷
Of the cause to which I'd lend my voice
将会受到质疑
It's elusive and it's hard to hold
(创作灵感)亦稍纵即逝
It's a fleeting thing
难以捉摸
That's why there is no Ode to Freedom truly worth remembering
正因如此,世间并不存在真正值得铭记的自由颂歌
I wish someone would write an Ode to Freedom that we all could sing
我期冀着,有人能谱写一首让世人得以口口相传的自由颂歌
