歌词
Down by the lake we were overturning pebbles
在湖边我们把鹅卵石掀翻
And upending all the animals alight
把所有发现的活物四脚朝天
And I took a drag from your cigarette and pinched it
我抽了一口你的烟
'Tween my finger and my thumb, till it had died
食指和拇指捏着它直到熄灭
And the sun burned low on the radio
而太阳在收音机上逐渐暗淡
Say that you will, say you will or will you won't
说你愿意,说你愿意或你不愿意
Or you whatever you prevaricate your whole life, don't you?
或随便怎样。你难道一辈子都要闪烁其词吗?
This much I can say: I would've waited till the oceans fell away
我能说的是:我愿意为你等到海枯
And all the sunken cities would reveal themselves to you
等到所有沉没的城市重新向你显露
But you won't, will you? Because you never do
但你不愿意,是吧?因为你从没做过
And the sun burned through sweet as honeydew
而太阳彻底燃尽,你甜蜜如蜜瓜
And I, seventeen and terminally fey
而我,十七岁,天真得无可救药
I wrote it down and threw it all away
我写下来又全部扔掉
Never gave a thought to what I paid
从不考虑我付出了什么
And you, all sibylline, reclining in your pew
而你,像个巫女,斜倚在后座
You tattered me, you tethered me to you
你把我撕碎,你又把我拴在你身边
The things you would, and the things you wouldn't do
你想做什么,你不想做什么
To tell the truth I never had a clue
老实说,我毫无线索
Now we arise to curse those young suburban villains
现在我们起身咒骂那些城郊小流氓
And their ill-begotten children from the lawn
还有他们在野地上非法生下的孩子
Come to me now, and on this station wagon window
现在你过来,在这辆旅行车的车窗上
Set the ghost of your two footprints
留下你一双脚印的幽灵
That they might haunt me when you're gone
在你离开我后,它们还会纠缠我
And when the light broke dawn, you were forever gone
当曙光破晓时, 你永远离开了我
But I remember you: you were full
但我忘不了你,你是那么饱满
You were full and sweet as honeydew
你是那么饱满,甜蜜如蜜瓜
And I, seventeen and terminally fey
我十七岁,天真得无可救药
I wrote it down and threw it all away
我写下来又全部扔掉
And never gave a thought to what I paid
从不考虑我付出了什么
And you, all sibylline, reclining in your pew
而你,像个巫女,斜倚在后座
You tattered me, you tethered me to you
你把我撕碎,又把我拴在你身边
The things you would, and the things you wouldn't do
你想做什么,你不想做什么
You noticed how I never had a clue, never had a clue
你看到了,我毫无线索,毫无线索
You were full and sweet as honeydew
你饱满甜蜜如蜜瓜
You were full and sweet as honeydew
你饱满甜蜜如蜜瓜
