Pantera - Cemetery Gates：歌詞+中文翻譯

Pantera樂團於1990年的歌曲，
這首歌是他們相當熱門的代表作，
那段時間主唱因抽大麻抽到喉嚨出了狀況，
結果有個音總是唱不上去，
於是歇斯底里的摔爛了一張椅子，
於是他停止抽大麻，
並在錄音前喝了口酒，
最終完成了這首歌。

這首歌的吉他SOLO也被許多雜誌吹捧成經典，
就像我以前常說的，
經典這兩字是看個人喜好，
你認為是經典，那他就是經典了。

[Intro]

Reverend, Reverend, is this some conspiracy?
牧師啊牧師，難不成這是陰謀嗎?

Crucified for no sins, an image beneath me

無罪之人為何要被釘十字架上，這景象烙印在我心

What's within our plans for life, it all seems so unreal

究竟人生的目的是為何，這一切似乎如此不真實

I'm a man cut in half in this world left in my misery

我是個活在世上的半死之人，讓我活在自我的悲慘世界

[Verse 1]

The Reverend he turned to me without a tear in his eyes

牧師眼中毫無淚痕的轉身看著我

Nothing new for him to see, I didn't ask him why

對他而言這似乎沒什麼，我也沒問他為什麼

I will remember the love our souls had sworn to make

我永遠記得我們一起立下愛的誓言

Now I watch the falling rain, all my mind can see now is your

如今我看著降下的冷雨，我心眼所見全都是你的

[Pre-Chorus]

Well I guess you took my youth and gave it all away

好吧，我認為是你帶走我的青春，而全部付諸東流

Like the birth of a new-found joy, this love would end in rage

如同一開始相當享受新感覺，然而愛情的結束卻是憤怒的

And when she died, I couldn't cry, the pride within my soul

而當她死去後，我竟哭不出來，我的靈魂不讓我哭

You left me incomplete, all alone as the memories now unfold

是妳讓我缺憾了，所有的回憶全都是孤單

[Chorus]

Believe the word, I will unlock my door

記得這些話，我會掙脫我的心門

And pass the cemetery gates

然後逃離這囚禁我的墓門

[Verse 2]

Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder aloud

如果當我覺得孤單，我會陷入苦思

If you're watching over me, some place far abound

是否你正在遠方某處盯著我

I must reverse my life, I can't live in the past

我必須改變自己的人生，我不能一直活在過去

Then set my soul free, belong to me at last

我須讓自己走出來，才能活出自我

[Pre-Chorus]

Through all those complex years, I thought I was alone

經過了這些風雨飄緲的日子，我認為我好孤單

I didn't care to look around and make this world my own

對於周遭一切漠不關心且活在自己的世界裡

And when she died, I should have cried and spared myself some pain

而當她死去後，我是該痛哭並讓自己痛苦的

You left me incomplete, all alone as the memories still remain

是妳讓我缺憾了，這些孤單的回憶仍舊磨人

[Chorus]

The way we were, the chance to save my soul

過去一切的一切，曾是我靈魂的救贖

And my concern is now in vain

如今我的顧慮全都一場空

Believe the word, I will unlock my door

記得這些話，我會掙脫我的心門

And pass the cemetery gates

然後逃離這囚禁我的墓門

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

The way we were, the chance to save my soul

過去一切的一切，曾是我靈魂的救贖

And my concern is now in vain

如今我的顧慮全都一場空

Believe the word, I will unlock my door

記得這些話，我會掙脫我的心門

And pass the cemetery

然後逃離這囚禁我的墓門

[Outro]

Gates

Gates

那道墓門

Gates

那道墓門
