I'm laying on the pavement 我正在铺设路面

And the last thing I recall 而最后一件事我记得

Picked up by the arms and legs 拾起胳膊和腿

And taken from the hall 从大厅取

For squaring up to culture 对于现蕾到文化

In the circle and the stall 在圈内和失速

   

All because they're playing Wagner at the opera 这一切都是因为他们正在玩瓦格纳的歌剧

All because they're playing Wagner at the opera 这一切都是因为他们正在玩瓦格纳的歌剧

   

Hurt can make you act without 伤害可以让你不采取行动

Apology or regret 道歉或遗憾

Over half a century 超过半世纪

But still I can't forget 但我仍然不能忘记

Ideology makes a mockery 意识形态使得嘲弄

Of the string quartet 的弦乐四重奏

   

All because they're playing Wagner at the opera 这一切都是因为他们正在玩瓦格纳的歌剧

All because they're playing Wagner at the opera 这一切都是因为他们正在玩瓦格纳的歌剧

   

When they came to take me 当他们来到带我

I was standing on a chair 我站在椅子上

I can't keep quiet 我不能保持沉默

I have something to declare 我有东西要申报

Listen to my rattle 听我的嘎嘎

For my rattle says "Beware" 对于我的嘎嘎说， “当心”

   

All because they're playing Wagner at the opera 这一切都是因为他们正在玩瓦格纳的歌剧

All because they're playing Wagner at the opera 这一切都是因为他们正在玩瓦格纳的歌剧

   

A rattle for remembering 拨浪鼓的记忆

The rattle of the chains 链的拨浪鼓

A rattle for remembering 拨浪鼓的记忆

The rattle of the trains 火车的咣

From Warsaw down the decades 从华沙下来的几十年

To hell and home again 地狱和回家了

   

All because they're playing Wagner at the opera 这一切都是因为他们正在玩瓦格纳的歌剧

All because they're playing Wagner at the opera 这一切都是因为他们正在玩瓦格纳的歌剧

   

For everyone we lost 对于我们每个人都失去了

I swing the rattle loud and long í摆动嘎嘎响，长

I swing it 'til I drown out í摆动它，直到我淹没

All the music and the songs 所有的音乐和歌曲

This tattoo will last forever 这个纹身将永远持续下去

And my memory is long 而我的记忆是长

   

Here's to no more playing Wagner at the opera 下面就来没有更多的上场瓦格纳的歌剧

Here's to no more playing Wagner at the opera 下面就来没有更多的上场瓦格纳的歌剧

Here's to no more playing Wagner at the opera 下面就来没有更多的上场瓦格纳的歌剧
