Long Road Out Of Eden

Moon shining down through the palms
Shadows moving on the sand
Somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm
Dusty rifle in his trembling hands
椰子の群れの隅々まで照らす月光
砂の上を移動する影
詩篇２３篇を小声で唱える者
彼の震える手に、誇りに塗れたライフルが
Somebody trying just to stay alive
He got promises to keep
Over the ocean in america
Far away and fast asleep
ひたすら生き延びようとする者
彼は、守るべき契約を獲得した
海を越えたアメリカに
遠く離れ、そして飽く迄遊休し続ける
Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky
Cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by
Galaxies unfolding, new worlds being born
Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn
But it's a long road out of eden
果てしない空の闇闇に瞬く物言わぬ星
冷たく銀色に光る従者
幽霊のように行き過ぎる幌馬車
開花せんとするきら星、生まれつつある新世界
明け方近く、のろのろ歩く移住者と道楽者
何れにせよ、それは、エデンの外に続く一筋の長い道
Music blasting from an suv
On a bright and sunny day
Rolling down the interstate
In the good ol' usa
スポーツ・ユーティリティ車から響き渡る楽曲は、晴れ晴れとした日のよく当たる日に、
かなり古びたアメリ力合衆国各州の隅々まで車で運ぶ
Having lunch at the petroleum club
Smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lives
He said: "gimme 'nother slice o' that barbecued brisket!"
"gimme 'nother piece o' that pecan pie!"
石油クラブ会館でランチを摂り、
上等の葉巻を燻らせながら、命の洗濯をする
彼は言った、「あの丸焼きの胸肉をもう一切れくれ！」
「あのピ―カンパイをもう一切れくれ！」
Freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune
We're riding to utopia, road map says we'll be arriving soon
Captains of the old order clinging to the reins
Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains
But it's a long road out of eden
Back home i was so certain
The path was very clear
But now i have to wonder: "what are we doing here?"
I'm not counting on tomorrow
And i can't tell wrong from right
But i'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight
Weaving down the american highway
Through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk
Bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda
And now we're driving dazed and drunk
Been down the road to damascus,
The road to mandalay
Met the ghost of caesar on the appian way
He said, "it's hard to stop this bingeing, once you get a taste."
"but the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste."
Behold the bitten apple - the power of the tools
But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools
And it's a long road out of eden....
