歌词翻译 (English)
A Heart Wrenching Joke and a Long Daydream
Translated by Ji Geng, the lyric writer and bass of Omnipotent Youth Society, and a college professor in English. I am just moving the translation he posted online.
Fleeing from the back door of Century Bank
Tearing night's curtain and desolate plains
Transcending the fallow spell, the forest and the storm
Leading our clouded hearts
In hope's final season
Dissolving the dawn and the dusk
In hope's final season
I recall the dagger I have been concealing.
Those who come from mountains, streams, lakes and seas
are now confined to the night, the kitchen and to sex.
Arriving at the boundaries of my consciousness
I see my father seated on a cloud's rim, smoking.
He says "Son, go make your peace with yesterday,
just as before."
Employ methods of infinite application
in exchange for the universe within you
Employ methods of infinite application
love the birds, now flocking together, now dispersing.
Those who come from mountains, streams, lakes and seas
are now confined to the night, the kitchen and to sex.
In a moment's time
clasping tightly my conflicted hand.
