pretender歌词

看到你提的意见了。重新修改了一下。对于FITFUL DREAMS的理解，仍待确定。

超难译，幸好坚持下来了。不完善的地方多多包涵哈。

I'm going to rent myself a house In the shade of the freeway

我想在高速公路旁边租一间屋子

I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning每天清晨做好午餐饭盒

And go to work each day然后上班

And when the evening rolls around当夜晚来临时

I'll go on home and lay my body down我可以回到家中躺下休息

And when the morning light comes streaming in当晨曦初现

I'll get up and do it again Amen Say it again Amen我就起床，像往日那般重复生活阿门

I want to know what became of the changes我想知道生活会怎样变化

We waited for love to bring我们等待爱

Were they only the fitful dreams那些反复无常的梦想（？）

Of some greater awakening终会被唤醒

I've been aware of the time going by我清醒地感觉到时间的消逝

They say in the end it's the wink of an eye他们说眨眼之时便是终结之际

And when the morning light comes streaming in当晨曦出现

You'll get up and do it again Amen你会起床，像往日那般重复生活阿门

Caught between the longing for love（我们）期待着爱

And the struggle for the legal tender努力挣钱

Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring在那塞壬歌唱，教堂钟响的地方

And the junk man pounds his fender那没用的男人敲打着汽车挡板

Where the veterans dream of the fight老兵们做着战争梦

Fast asleep at the traffic light在交通灯处沉沉睡去

And the children solemnly wait For the ice cream vendor孩子们严肃地等待着卖雪糕的小贩（整首歌最喜欢这句了）

Out into the cool of the evening Strolls the Pretender寒冷的夜里流浪者与伪装者找不到去处（这一句是猜测着翻译的）

He knows that all his hopes and dreams Begin and end there他知道，所有的希望和梦想都终结了

Ah the laughter of the lovers恋人们笑着

As they run through the night在黑夜中奔跑

Leaving nothing for the others什么也没有剩下

But to choose off and fight只能停在原地，战斗

And tear at the world with all their might用他们的想法撕裂这世界

While the ships bearing their dreams装载着他们梦想的轮船

Sail out of sight正在开航

I'm going to find myself a girl我想要找一个女孩

Who can show me what laughter means她可告诉我笑声的含义

And we'll fill in the missing colors In each other's paint-by-number dreams我们将会在自己梦中的颜色里迷失

And then we'll put our dark glasses on然后我们会戴上墨镜

And we'll make love until our strength is gone我们ML，直到力气耗尽（ML这么不CJ的词大家都懂吧）

And when the morning light comes streaming in当晨曦初现

We'll get up and do it again Get it up again我们就起床，像往日那般重复生活

I'm going to be a happy idiot我想当快乐的傻瓜

And struggle for the legal tender努力挣钱

Where the ads take aim and lay their claim在ADS(美国假牙学会)声称拥有权利的地方

To the heart and the soul of the spender直达挥霍者的灵魂与心脏

believe in whatever may lie In those things that money can buy

我相信能用金钱买到的，就是具有欺骗性的

Though true love could have been a contender虽然真爱将会胜利

Are you there Say a prayer for the Pretender但祈祷者也是会伪装的

Who started out so young and strong Only to surrender一开始就最坚定的也会背叛

歌词是：

I'm a pretender, I'm not what I seem

表面上看我很正常，其实我内心深处有着不为人知的秘密

I'm deceptive, and my heart's unkind

我很善于伪装，而且我的心肠也很不善

And I'm a liar, and a thief in the night

我是个撒谎者，也是个夜行窃贼

But I'm not the only one, with secrets to hide

但我不是唯一一个，有秘密要隐藏的人

We're all pretenders, playing our part

我们都是伪装者，扮演着自己的角色

Hiding behind smiles, and a broken heart

隐藏在微笑和破碎的心背后

Trying to fit in, with the rest of the crowd

试图融入人群

But feeling like outsiders, when we're all alone

但是当我们独自一人时，却感觉自己像个外来者

The pretender, the role we play

伪装者，我们扮演的角色

It's not who we are, it's just what we say

这并不是真正的我们，只是我们说的话而已

We hide behind masks, and our secrets stay

我们躲在面具后面，秘密被隐藏起来

But the truth will come out, one day

但总有一天，真相会大白于天下

In conclusion,"Pretender" by Waylon Payne is a song about the masks people wear to hide their true selves and the secrets they keep hidden from others. The lyrics describe the inner struggles of a pretender and how they fit in with society while feeling like an outsider. It is a reminder that everyone has secrets and hidden struggles, and it is important to be true to oneself instead of pretending to be someone else.
