歌词
They're seriously saying it's prolonging me life,
他们认真地说这是延长了我生命
If I'll only submit to the surgical knife?
如果我只提交手术刀？
But what are the odds on a month or a week?
但一个月或一个星期的几率有多大？
When the betting shop's closing its doors, so to speak.
就像赌场的关门，可以这么说。
When you're tied to a pump and a breathing machine,
当你被泵和呼吸机绑住，
With their X-rays and probes and their monitor screens,
用他们的X射线和探测器及其监控屏幕，
And they'll wake ye up hungry, saying "How do ye feel?"
他们会急忙吵醒你，说：“你什么感觉？”
And then you're stuffed full of pills and a barium meal.
然后让你服下满满的药片和钡餐。
Prolonging me life? Now that's some kind of joke!
延长我的生命？现在就是个的笑话！
I'd be laughing me head off and I'd probably choke.
我笑破头了，我可能咳得厉害。
The spirit's still willing but the rest of me's weak,
神志仍然清新，但身体动弹不得
Now the bets are all off and the prospects look bleak,
现在已经下注，前景堪忧
When you're laid like a piece of old meat on the slab,
但人为刀俎我为鱼肉
And they'll cut and they'll slice, and they'll poke and they'll jab,
他们开始下手，他们会切，他们会捅，他们会戳，
And they'll grill ye and burn ye, and they'll wish ye good health,
他们会烧会烤，他们会希望你们身体健康，
With their radium, chemo and God knows what else?

Well ye can't fault the science, though the logic is weak,
好吧，你们不能指责科学，尽管逻辑说不通，
Is it really an eternal life we should seek?

That ship has sailed,

For a few extra rounds in a fight to the death.

When our mission is love, and compassion and grace,

I hear what you're saying 'cos I've heard it before,

But I'm afraid if I let what is past through my door,

How long would he stay, a month or a week,

[02:37.000]Should I settle for something that's safe on this Earth?

What would it profit me, what is it worth?
我会有什么好处，什么是值得的？
If I lose something precious, completely unique?
如果我失去了一些完全独特的宝贵东西？
When it's only eternity's love we should seek,
我们追求永恒的爱
For when that ship sails, and the course has been set,
当那艘船起航，行程已定
And the wind's in the offing and the sails have been let,
风吹过来，风帆扬起，
And the hatches are full, and the hull doesn't leak,

And the ship is all ready to sail...So to speak.

I'm tired and fading and losing the light,

And I've no way to tell if it's day or it's night,

Follow your heart, it's the harbour ye seek,

And this ship is ready to sail,
