Lyrics by:Bethany Schmitt
Composed by:Bethany Schmitt
I've been watching him for my entire life
我一生都在注视着他
I hate the air he breathes his foolish decrees
厌恶他呼吸的空气 和他愚蠢的法令
His words so contrived
他的言辞如此矫揉造作
And I hate the way the townspeople gather outside
我痛恨市民们聚集在他门外的方式
They hang on every breath cling to his chest
他们紧抓他的每一句话 依附在他骄傲的胸膛
Home to his heart full of pride
那里栖息着他满是傲慢的心
The oracle told him to beware the Ides
预言者警告他当心三月之厄
And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wishing
若说我不曾暗自期盼 那便是谎言
For untimely death or demise
为那过早的陨落或消逝
Or am I just wishing I could be like you
还是我仅仅渴望能成为你
That the people would see me too as a poet
让人们也视我为诗人
And not just the muse
而非只是灵感的附庸
Oh it's not true I don't wish harm upon you
啊 并非如此 我从未盼你遭厄运
From birth we've been like brothers of different mothers
自出生我们便如异母兄弟
Within the spirit of the same womb
共享同一片精神沃土
May the gods strike me down if I forsake you
若我背弃你 愿受神罚天诛
Frater meus you're beautifully made
吾兄 你生来完美无瑕
And to you I'm forever grateful
我对你永远心怀感激
I'll never forget that you showed me to make art
永不忘你教我创造艺术
And I know the love you showed me came
我知你予我的爱意
From a pure and noble heart
源自纯净高贵的心灵
I love you and if you want I'll call you King
若你愿意 我愿尊你为王
But why do I lie awake each night thinking
但为何我夜不能寐
Instead of you it should be me
想着该是我而非你
Something wicked this way comes
邪恶之物正步步逼近
And as I set to face it I'm unsure
当我直面它时却踌躇不定
Should I embrace it should I run
是该接纳还是逃离
What motivates me
究竟什么在驱使着我
Hatred
是恨意
Is it love
还是爱意
What's more wrong that I too wish to be great
更不堪的是我也渴望伟大
Or my mother wished she'd had a son
就像母亲期盼能有个儿子
And even if I can't be the one
即便我无法成为那个人
Maybe I could at least help make way for him
或许至少能为他铺平道路
Until the day that he comes
直到他到来的那一天
Maybe my name could also be known
或许我的名字也能被铭记
That I helped return good to the people
因我曾为民众谋福祉
And restored greatness to Rome
为罗马重铸辉煌

My whole life you were a teacher and friend to me
你曾是我一生的良师益友
Please know my actions are not motivated only by envy
