歌词
My dear saggy, pruney old granny
我亲爱的，松弛的，皱巴巴的老奶奶
Is dying in the living room
将要死在客厅
The ambulance came and took her away to the hospital in the
救护车开来了，并把她带到了城里的医院里
The hospital in the city is damp, crusty and rusty
城里的医院又湿，又冷又硬还生着锈
The doctor told me to wait and behave
医生告诉我要听话好好等着
But I did not heed his words.
但我并没有注意到他的话
Instead I wandered through the hollow halls.
我在空旷的走道里游荡，
Curiosity lead me into the staff only
好奇把我引向外人禁入的大门
I saw crates stacked up so high
我在那里看到了最奇怪的东西
It was a most curious sight
我看见垒到天花板的板条箱
So I opened one and then to my surprise
我忍不住打开了它 出乎我的意料
I saw...
我看到了……
Vegetables! Carrots, garlics and chards!
蔬菜！胡萝卜！蒜和甜菜！
Cabbages, pumpkins, lettuce and peas!
卷心菜！南瓜！生菜和豌豆！
Something feels wrong there's a chill in my spine
有什么东西不对劲 我的脊柱传来一阵寒颤
But before I could figure it out
但在我搞清楚之前
Footsteps clacking grew louder
步伐声愈来愈响
...and Louder!
愈来愈响！
I ran down the hall in a panic
我惊慌地跑过走廊
Saw each dying patient as i ran
我一边跑一边看着一个个垂死的病人
Like slides in a show I witnessed it all
好像幻灯片滑过一样 我看见了一切
Was a kafkan metamorphosis
那是卡夫卡的变形记
Senile and literal vegetables
干瘪瘦小的蔬菜
My granny's a broccoli
我的奶奶是棵西兰花
I thought on the ride home, wide-eyed and disturbed
一路上我都在惶恐 不安的瞪大眼睛
Dreading tonight's salad dinner
心里想着今天晚餐的蔬菜沙拉
My mind swoops on back to the hospital halls
思绪把我拽回医院空旷的走廊
Curiosity lead me into the staff only room
好奇把我引进外人禁入的大门
Saw crates stacked up so high
看到箱子堆得那么高
It was a most curious sight0
最让我好奇的那一个
So I took a closer look and inside I saw
所以我仔细打开看了看，在里面我看到了
I saw...!
我看到……
Vegetables! Endives, beetroots and maize!
蔬菜！莴苣，甜菜根和玉米！
Celeries, aubergines, gingers and leeks!
芹菜，茄子，姜和韭菜！
I see wrinkly faces in the green leafy mess
我开到一张绿色皱巴巴的脸
I told my parents what I saw

But they did not believe me and told me to shut up
但是他们要我闭嘴
And eat...
吃了……
My broccoli
我的西兰花
