歌词与中文翻译
WHAT IF
假若
is a game for scholars,
这是场智者之间的游戏
so: it was sheer necessity.
那么，这就只是纯粹的需求
Nothing but chance that,
别无他物，仅仅是一场
for reasons hidden to the world,
出于未知缘由的巧合
has led the two souls here.
引领这两缕灵魂的相会
Made them equal like dog and owner,
令他们之间像狗和主人般平等
annoyed, but neutral, spend the night,
躁动却又平衡地度过这夜
sharing the same bed they did slumber,
同床共枕，共入安眠
beneath two blankets ... side by side.
披于毯下，比肩而眠
It makes no difference to explain,
若要解释事况怎会变成这样
how it all came to this,
也毫无意义
cause WHAT IF is a game for scholars,
因为倘若这是场智者间的游戏
approve and seal it with a kiss!
就用一个吻默许，并将其封印吧！
Quickly erasing your lust ,all we inspire is disgust.
你的情欲迅速消除，我们的灵魂都已恶心至极
But then, of course, you can never be sure,
而在这之后，必然地，你心里并无定数
and that's the ghost that's haunting you !!!
而这念想便会是缠扰你的梦魇！
Let me tell you about love
让我来跟你谈谈爱吧
It's not expensive
它并不怎么奢侈
would you like to try?
你难道不想试试吗？
Familiar causes made me shiver,
这熟悉的缘由令我们双方颤栗
mainly with chill this foetus coiled.
蔓延自这蜷曲胎儿般的寒意
Apologise did only soothe his anger,
道歉只能安抚他的暴怒
but explanations could not avoid
但这些解释却不能逃过
him winding down the ancient form,
今非昔比的他
the spell of insecurity,
缺乏安全感的咒语
that liturgy, which cruelly pointed out:
这场礼拜仪式，残忍地指明：
the difference between him and me.
他与我之间的不同之处
I can't be bothered to explain,
我没有心情解释
how it all comes to this ,
事况怎会变成这样
because all causes are "familiar",
毕竟这一切的缘由是“熟悉的”
accept, and seal it ... with a kiss.
就用一个吻默许……并将其封印吧
The larch, and not the morning-cock,
高大挺拔的落叶松，不是清晨时的雄鸡
beheld two spoons our cook hand graced,
注视着这两个汤匙，我们的厨子优雅地交出它们
and as our hero woke, he found
当我们的英雄醒来时，他发现
his left arm still around my waist.
他的左臂仍然搂着我的腰
He rose, and I, the ugly child,
他雄起，而我，这个丑陋的孩子
born of the shadow-sphere,
生于影球之中
allowed my thought to briefly travel
我允许我的思维短暂地飞散
to a world ... to far from here:
去往那片……远离于此的世界
where it's the cock that greets the morning,
那里的清晨 雄鸡互道早安
and piles have meanings unlike their faces here ...
痔疮有所含义，而不像他们的脸孔
but WHAT IF is a game for scholars now, baby,
但是倘若这是场智者间的游戏，宝贝
so try your best now to hide the tears.
那么就尽你所能地掩藏泪水吧
He said, as he walked to the bathroom:
当他走向浴室时，他说道：
"I AM NOT AT ALL LIKE YOU !!!"
“我跟你毫无相似之处！”
"Well, I don't have the slightest idea
“听着，我对你想表达的意思
what you could possibly be referring to.
毫无头绪，无所理解。
But rest assure, man, because whatever
但剩下的完全足以确信，伙计
this most dreadful thing might be,
因为无论发生过什么可怕至极的事
be sure that our difference is more than obvious
我们之间的区别都显而易见
to the world outside ... and me!"
无论对于大庭广众……还是对于我来说！”
Quickly erasing your lust, all we inspire is disgust.
你的情欲迅速消除，我们的灵魂都已恶心至极
But then, of course, you can never be sure,
而在这之后，必然地，你心里并无定数
and that's the face that's frightening you !!!
而这就是令你惊恐之物的真面目！
I can't be bothered to explain, how it all cames to this,
我没有心情解释，事况怎会变成这样
cause WHAT IF is a game for scholars,
毕竟倘若这是场智者间的游戏
and it's called:
那就称之为
HELVETIA SEXUALIS.
性之国度（helvetia，赫尔维希亚，拉丁文的瑞士）
