Election Day
选举日
1. I wake up early on Election Day
我在选举日那天起得很早
I've already voted so I'm timewise ok
我早就投过票了,时间宽裕
Today, Goteborg feels like my head
今天,哥德堡如同我一般
Slow, gloomy and grey
怠慢,忧郁,灰蒙蒙的
My train departs soon, we meet up at the station
我的火车即将离开,我们在车站会面
You just came in from Bergen,
你才来卑尔根
how are you Jens Lekman?
Jens Lekman,你怎么样
I eye everyone, try to guess
我与所有人对视,试着猜测
what they're voting for
他们想要给谁投票?
And this is what we speak of:
这就使我们谈论的话题
that when you know someone likes you
当你喜欢一个人
-as a friend or a lover or a
如同朋友,恋人
listener - you still don't know
或者一个倾听者,可你还是不知道
WHY they like you,
他们为何喜欢你
so you take a guess
所以你做一个
based on their appearance
基于外表的猜测
but people are always much more complicated
但是人们的内心总是
than you think,than you think that they are
比你想的更复杂
2. A woman comes up, she says she's a clairvoyant
一位女士走上前,她说它是一个先知
She says thanks for this Friday,
她说多亏了星期五
I went to your concert
我去了你的音乐会
I like you, cause I can tell you were a warrior in a past life
我喜欢你,因为我知道你的前世是一个战士
On the train I buy an apple
我在火车上买了一个苹果
It's so huge, it's astounding
它很大,很惊人
And I get so upset
这却使我失望
I'm by myself, can't show no one
我独自一人,无法展示给任何人看这奇迹
I fight an urge to show the girl sitting next to me
我迫切地想给旁边的女孩展示它
But she looks like a model,
可她看起来像一个模特
probably doesn't want to see (it),
她大有可能不想看这个
it's amazingly large this apple,
这个苹果奇迹般的巨大
and I gram it
我只好发到网上
But it gets very few likes
可惜点赞很少
3. And outside the window,
窗外
the trees flaunt their shit
树随风摆动
And the fields, and the flowers,
田野,花
and the lakes that are glittering
湖面在太阳下闪闪发光
Behind me, two people in suits
在我身后,两个穿西装的人
say climate change is fake news
正谈论着气候变化是虚假的
And I take my huge apple
我拿出我的苹果
And I show it down their throats
我使他们接受这事实(show应改为shove)
I say that's not a topic you can argue about
我告诉他们,这并不可争论
It is what it is, it's not up for debate
这就是事实,没什么好争论的
Do you really think I would be stuck on this train
如果可以选择的话
Twelve hours today
我不想在这火车上
if it was optional
待十二个小时
5. That last part was Ilie, I'm a pacifist
最后那一部分其实是假的,我是一个和平主义者(llie应改为 a lie)
But I enjoyed making that up I have to admit
但是我必须承认,我很享受编造这的过程
Lets not forgot I was a warrior in a past life.
我前世还是一个战士呢
The results are like life on Election Day news
这结果如同选举日的新闻
No one really won, and all are confused
没有人赢,所有人都很迷惑
It's quiet, but feels like a bomb
四下寂静,感觉却如同一枚炸弹
with a really long fuse
随着一段长长的缓和期
我喜欢你因为你说的话
6. And I like you cause you
换做我,也会同样说
talk about the same things that I do
讲讲故事和电视节目,或者去游览
Telling stories and TV, and being on tour
这是我感觉活泼自信
It makes me feel like I am an extrovert
偶尔这样挺好
And that is nice for a change
我喜欢你因为我总是跌跌撞撞
And I like me because I always crash
我放纵,抱怨,然后我重整旗鼓
I wallow and complain, and then I bounce back
如果在下个世纪有一位先知撞见我的话
If a clairvoyant came up in a hundred years
我想她会跟我说
I think she would have said to me:
在你的上辈子,你极其糟糕
In your past life, you were lame
不过,你尽你所能了
but at least you tried
这些烟雾会使你呛着的
Now those fumes will choke you
块进去吧
so get inside
该睡觉啦
Now its time to sleep on Election Day
