《Radio Baghdad》歌词

[00:00:00] Radio Baghdad - Patti Smith (帕蒂·史密斯)

[00:00:08] (Smith/Ray)

[00:00:32] Suffer not Your neighbor's affliction

[00:00:37] Suffer not Your neighbor's paralysis

[00:00:43] But extend your hand Extend your hand

[00:00:52] Lest you vanish in the city And be but a trace

[00:00:59] Just a vanished ghost And your legacy

[00:01:05] All the things you knew Science mathematics thought

[00:01:15] Severely weakened Like irrigation systems

[00:01:22] In the tired veins forming From the Tigris and Euphrates

[00:01:29] In the realm of peace All the world revolved

[00:01:34] All the world revolved Around a perfect circle

[00:01:38] City of Baghdad City of scholars

[00:01:43] Empirical humble Center of the world

[00:01:48] City in ashes City of Baghdad

[00:01:53] City of Baghdad Abrasive aloof

[00:02:27] Oh in Mesopotamia Aloofness ran deep

[00:02:38] Deep in the veins of the great rivers

[00:02:45] That form the base Of Eden

[00:02:50] And the tree The tree of knowledge

[00:02:55] Held up its arms To the sky

[00:02:59] All the branches of knowledge All the branches of knowledge

[00:03:05] Cradling Cradling

[00:03:13] Civilization In the realm of peace

[00:03:20] All the world revolved Around a perfect circle

[00:03:26] Oh Baghdad Center of the world

[00:03:30] City of ashes With its great mosques

[00:03:35] Erupting from the mouth of god Rising from the ashes like

[00:03:40] A speckled bird Splayed against the mosaic sky

[00:03:49] Oh clouds around We created the zero

[00:04:02] But we mean nothing to you You would believe

[00:04:12] That we are just some mystical tale We are just a swollen belly

[00:04:23] That gave birth to Sinbad Scheherazade We gave birth

[00:04:32] Oh oh to the zero The perfect number

[00:04:42] We invented the zero And we mean nothing to you

[00:04:47] Our children run through the streets

[00:04:54] And you sent your flames Your shooting stars

[00:04:58] Shock and awe Shock and awe

[00:05:03] Like some some Imagined warrior production

[00:05:17] Twenty-first century No chivalry involved

[00:05:25] No Bushido

[00:05:47] Oh the code of the West Long gone

[00:05:52] Never been Where does it lie

[00:06:01] You came you came Through the west

[00:06:04] Annihilated a people And you come to us

[00:06:12] But we are older than you You come you wanna

[00:06:20] You wanna come and rob the cradle

[00:06:25] Of civilization And you read yet you read

[00:06:32] You read Genesis You read of the tree

[00:06:35] You read of the tree Beget by god

[00:06:40] That raised its branches into the sky Every branch of knowledge

[00:06:46] Of the cradle of civilization

[00:06:49] Of the banks of the Tigris and the Euphrates

[00:06:53] Oh in Mesopotamia Aloofness ran deep

[00:06:59] The face of Eve turning What sky did she see

[00:07:14] What garden beneath her feet The one you drill

[00:07:23] You drill Pulling the blood of the earth

[00:07:28] Little droplets of oil for bracelets Little jewels

[00:07:35] Sapphires You make bracelets

[00:07:40] Round your own world We are weeping tears

[00:07:46] Rubies We offer them to you

[00:07:50] We are just Your Arabian nightmare

[00:07:56] We invented the zero But we mean nothing to you

[00:08:04] Your Arabian nightmare

[00:08:36] City of stars City of scholarship

[00:08:42] Science City of ideas

[00:08:49] City of light City

[00:08:53] City of ashes That the great Caliph

[00:09:00] Walked through His naked feet formed a circle

[00:09:06] And they built a city A perfect city of Baghdad

[00:09:13] In the realm of peace And all the world revolved

[00:09:19] And they invented And they mean nothing to you

[00:09:29] Nothing to you Nothing

[00:09:45] Go to sleep Go to sleep my child

[00:09:49] Go to sleep And I'll sing you a lullaby

[00:09:52] A lullaby for our city A lullaby of Baghdad

[00:09:57] Go to sleep Sleep my child

[00:10:00] Sleep Sleep

[00:10:03] Run Run

[00:10:24] You sent your lights Your bombs

[00:10:28] You sent them down on our city Shock and awe

[00:10:31] Like some crazy t v show

[00:11:04] They're robbing the cradle of civilization

[00:11:11] They're robbing the cradle of civilization

[00:11:19] They're robbing the cradle of civilization

[00:11:51] Suffer not The paralysis of your neighbor

[00:12:00] Suffer not But extend your hand
