おとなの掟

編曲：斎藤ネコ/ 椎名林檎
在這永恆最深邃的黑夜中深嘆一口氣
Sighs in the blackest black abiding
一人逝去的同時一人在舞台升起
As soon as one dies one is rising
這夜晚如此黑暗與冰冷
With the night so dark and cold
我所做的祈禱被它吞噬和隱藏
The wishes I make are swallowed up and hidden away
呼出來的最純淨的氣息裡
Breath of the whitest white is
是我最想說的內心的語句
What I most wish to say down deep now inside
如此麻木冰冷的聲音能唱出動聽的歌嗎
Can a voice so numb and cold have some song to sing
它讓人分不清真假
It could be false or reality
那些我喜歡的憎恨的或是我想得到的東西
The things I like or hate or things I want to gain
我的台詞只能讓我說一切都好
Whatever's feeling good is what my lines would say
他們在白天卻衍生出了深邃的黑暗
For setting off the black from white it'd work perfectly
就像在聖堂中唱著毀滅的詩歌
Though like a chant of ruination it'd be
為什麼我從前就沒有思考過
Why did I think that since
當我翻遍我所知道的最新的學校課本的時候
I'd studied the latest schoolbook I'd know clearly
何為對何為錯還有哪是哪
What's right from what's wrong and which is which one
我只能選擇那些我真的明白的
That I could choose I could really know
我生活在這方寸舞台從左到右
I live according to stage-right stage-left exit
即興創作卻不在我的把戲裡
Improvisation's not been in my bag of tricks
我想要向你傾訴的台詞實在太多
So much of what I want to say pours out noisily
但我只會在只有你的舞台上演繹
But never when you're not here alone with me
我想把我手中抓著的東西全部釋放
What I know that I hold in my hands I want to set free
想著你我會感受到多少它帶來的光明
Think of how much lighter you and I would feel then
那些台詞那些牆壁那些詛咒
Every word every wall every curse
把它們統統剝下吧
And sparing nothing strip it
把偽裝都拿走吧，讓我們重新審視對方吧！
Take it all away to once again seeeye to eye
那些我喜歡的憎恨的或是我所期待的東西
The things I like or hate or things I want expect
如果我把它們釋放出來，接下來會發生什麼呢
Though if I let them out I think what happens next
那些黑暗中衍生的光明卻讓人深感恐懼
Well setting off the white from black is fearful indeed
當你誠實活著的時候更是如此
It's even more so when you live honestly
這生命實在太長，太長，這世界實在太寬廣
This life is long so long the world is wide I say
當我們贏得自由之時，有人卻會因此人生暗淡
And when we've freedom won it all becomes one gray
是呀那些開心和不開心只存在我們的內心啊
Yes happiness unhappiness it's only the heart
也沒有任何寂靜能讓他們懂得
That knows no quietude that makes itself known
沒有成年人能永遠保守秘密
While an adult can keep a secret alone
