Ain’t No Man Righteous, No Not One
When a man he serves the Lord, it makes his life worthwhile
It don’t matter ’bout his position, it don’t matter ’bout his lifestyle
Talk about perfection, I ain’t never seen none
And there ain’t no man righteous, no not one
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood
He’ll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good
Some like to worship on the moon, others are worshipping the sun
And there ain’t no man righteous, no not one
Look around, ya see so many social hypocrites
Like to make rules for others while they do just the opposite
You can’t get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag
Put your goodness next to God’s and it comes out like a filthy rag
In a city of darkness there’s no need of the sun
And there ain’t no man righteous, no not one
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it’s a crying shame
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame
Pull your hat down, baby, pull the wool down over your eyes
Keep a-talking, baby, ’til you run right out of alibis
Someday you’ll account for all the deeds that you done
Well, there ain’t no man righteous, no not one
God got the power, man has got his vanity
Man gotta choose before God can set him free
Don’t you know there’s nothing new that’s under the sun?
Well, there ain’t no man righteous, no not one
When I’m gone don’t wonder where I be
Just say that I trusted in God and that Christ was in me
Say He defeated the devil, He was God’s chosen Son
And that there ain’t no man righteous, no not one
没有义人,连一个也没有
[美]鲍勃·迪伦
李皖 译
一个人侍奉上帝,这就使生命有了价值
持什么立场没关系,持何种生活方式没关系
说到完满,我一个都没见过
没有义人,连一个也没有
有时魔鬼喜欢将你从邻人身边驱逐
他甚至通过那些善良用心的人达成目的
有人喜欢对月亮膜拜,其他的在膜拜太阳
没有义人,连一个也没有
看看周围吧,你会看到如此多的社会伪君子
他们喜欢为别人订规则,自己的行为却恰恰相反
你不能通过升旗或降旗获得荣光
将你的美德列在上帝边,它顿时变得像污秽的破衣衫
黑暗之城不需要太阳
没有义人,连一个也没有
以爱为名犯下众多恶事,真是奇耻大辱
我从未见到过能扑灭火焰的火
把帽子拉低,宝贝,将羊毛遮住眼睛
继续扯,宝贝,直到用光借口
有朝一日你会对所有做过的事负责
嗯,没有义人,连一个也没有
上帝持有权柄,人有虚荣
人须作出抉择,在上帝给予他自由之前
你不知道日光之下并无新事吗?
嗯,没有义人,连一个也没有
当我离开尘世时,不要猜疑我会在哪里
只须说我信奉神,基督就在我心里
人说他打败了魔鬼,他是上帝选定之子
没有义人,连一个也没有
注1:《新约·罗马书》3:10:“就如经上所记:‘没有义人,连一个也没有……’”
注2:《旧约·以赛亚书》64:6:“我们都像不洁净的人,所有的义都像污秽的衣服……”
