The Last Resort

The Last Resort - Eagles

Written by：Glenn Frey

She came from Providence

她从普罗维登斯来

The one in Rhode Island

罗德岛的那个普罗维登斯

Where the old world shadows hang

那里残留着旧时代的阴影

Heavy in the air

在浑浊的空气中还可以闻得到

She packed her hopes and dreams

她将自己的希望和梦想匆匆装进包裹了

Like a refugee

狼狈得像个难民一样

Just as her father came across the sea

就如同她父亲穿过大海来到这里一样

She heard about a place people were smiling

她在一个地方听到人们在笑

They spoke about the red man's way

他们谈论着红种人的迁徙之路

And how they loved the land

以及印第安人是多么爱他们的土地

And they came from everywhere

他们从各地汇聚在此

To the Great Divide

到大分水岭

Seeking a place to stand

寻找一片立足之地

Or a place to hide

或仅仅是一个避难所

Down in the crowded bars

在喧闹的酒吧里慢慢堕落

Out for a good time

毫无顾忌地寻欢作乐

Can't wait to tell you all

迫不及待地想要对你倾诉

What it's like up there

那云上的日子是怎样

And they called it paradise

他们管那儿叫天堂

I don't know why

我无法理解

Somebody laid the mountains low

山越来越低

While the town got high

而城镇变的越来越高

Then the chilly winds blew down

阵阵寒风吹过

Across the desert

越过荒漠

Through the canyons of the coast

穿过海岸线上的峡谷

To the Malibu

一直吹到了马里布的海滩旅馆

Where the pretty people play

那里的漂亮人们正游戏人间

Hungry for power

却依然不满足现有的力量

To light their neon way

去发现他们新的找乐方式

And give them things to do

或是打发无聊时光

Some rich men came and raped the land

有钱人夺走了土地

Nobody caught them

我们却无能为力

Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and

耶稣被束缚在丑陋的盒子里

Jesus people bought them

作为商品卖给无知的人们

And they called it paradise

他们管那儿叫天堂

The place to be

在那个地方

They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea

他们看着朦胧的太阳沉没到大海里

You can leave it all behind

你可以将这些事都抛诸脑后

And sail to Lahaina

渡海到莱海纳港口

Just like the missionaries did so many years ago

就像多年以前的传教士一样

They even brought a neon sign

他们一度带去了新的福音

Jesus is coming

耶稣降临

Brought the white man's burden down

也带去了白人的奴役之苦

Brought the white man's reign

和白人的统治

Who will provide the grand design

是谁描绘了这样伟大的蓝图

What is yours and what is mine

是你还是我

Because there is no more new frontier

再也没有新的边疆了

We have got to make it here

我们只有在这里建立新的国度

We satisfy our endless needs and

我们永不知足的需求

Justify our bloody deeds

来为我们的杀戮作辩护

In the name of destiny

还以为这是命中注定

And in the name of God

或是以上帝的名义

And you can see them there

你能在每个星期天的早晨

On Sunday morning

见到他们

Stand up and sing about

他们肃立歌颂那失去的东西

What it's like up there

那云上的日子是怎样

They call it paradise

他们管那儿叫天堂

I don't know why

我无法理解

You call someplace paradise

你的天堂又该是何模样

Kiss it goodbye

还是吻别吧
