Eagles - The Last Resort Best
She came from Providence 她來自普羅維登斯
The one in Rhode Island 羅德島洲的壹員
Where the old world shadows hang 舊世界陰影垂著的地方
Heavy in the air 沈重地懸在空氣中
She packed her hopes and dreams 她收拾起她的希望和夢想
Like a refugee 像壹個流亡者
Just as her father came across the sea 就像她父親當年 過海來到這裏
She heard about a place people were smiling 她聽到壹個地方的人們在微笑
They spoke about the red man's way 他們說著印第安人的趣事
And how they loved the land 和他們是怎樣愛他們的土地
And they came from everywhere 他們來自於各地
To the Great Divide 來到這落基山區
Seeking a place to stand 尋找壹個落腳地
Or a place to hide 或者壹個容身之地
Down in the crowded bars 在擁擠的酒吧
Out for a good time 顯露出壹個繁榮時期
Can't wait to tell you all 等不及告訴妳壹切
What it's like up there 那裏到底像什麽
And they called it paradise 他們說那裏就是天堂
I don't know why 我不明白其中道理
Somebody laid the mountains low 壹些人躺在山腰下
While the town got high 壹會兒的時間整個小鎮進入高潮
Then the chilly winds blew down 然後寒冷的風吹來
Across the desert 刮遍這荒涼沙漠
Through the canyons of the coast, 穿過海岸的峽谷
To the Malibu 直到馬利布
Where the pretty people play, 漂亮的人們在那裏玩
Hungry for power渴望力量
To light their neon way 為了照亮他們的新遷之路
And give them things to do 並且給予他們事情去做
Some rich men came and raped the land, 壹些有錢人來到這裏並掠奪這片土地
Nobody caught them 沒有人抓捕他們
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus, 立起了壹個個 醜陋盒子,和耶穌
People bought them 人們買來他們
And they called it paradise 把那裏稱作天堂
The place to be這個未來的地方
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea 他們凝視著朦朧的太陽，慢慢沈沒在海中
You can leave it all behind 妳可以把這些都忘記
And sail to Lahaina 乘船去到夏威夷
Just like the missionaries did, so many years ago追隨多年前的傳教士留下的足跡
They even brought a neon sign:"Jesus is coming" 他們還把霓虹廣告牌帶去，寫著：耶穌來了
Brought the white man's burden down帶來白人的擔子
Brought the white man's reign 帶來白人的統治
Who will provide the grand design? 誰將準備這盛大的計劃
What is yours and what is mine? 什麽是妳們的 什麽是我們的？
Cause there is no more new frontier 因為這裏沒有更多新的邊境
We have got to make it here 我們需要在這裏制造出來
We satifsy our endless needs 我們滿足我們的無窮的需要
And justify our bloody deeds, 並且證明我們的血腥的行為
In the name of destiny 以命運的名義
And the name of God 和上帝的名義
And you can see them there,妳可以看見他們在那裏
On Sunday morning 禮拜日早晨
Stand up and sing about他們站起來並唱著
What it's like up there那裏到底像什麽
They call it paradise 他們稱之為天堂
I don't know why 我不明白其中道理
You call someplace paradise, 妳們稱壹些地方為天堂
Kiss it goodbye 吻別...
