歌词
belated promise ring - Iron & Wine
Sunday morning, my Rebecca sleeping in with me again
周日清晨 瑞贝卡依偎在我臂膀
There's a kid outside the church kicking a can
窗外教堂传来孩童踢易拉罐的清响
When the cedar branches twist she turns her collar to the wind
雪松幽绿 风中她竖起衣领
The weather can close the world within its hand
季节昼夜间顷刻变换
And my mother says Rebecca is as stubborn as they come
母亲却责怪瑞贝卡性情古怪
They both call to me with words I never knew
她们都以迥异的昵称唤着我
There's a bug inside the thimble, there's a band-aid on her thumb
顶针边的小飞虫 拇指上绑着创口贴
And a pony in the river turning blue
一只潺潺溪流中驻足的忧郁小马
They say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take"
人们说 “时间便是生命不可承受之重”
My Rebecca says she never wants a boy
我的瑞贝卡说 她永不会为一个男孩倾倒
To be barefoot on the driveway as they wave and ride away
赤足站在车道上 目送他们离开
Then to run inside and curse the open door
我们飞奔入屋 诅咒这时开时关的房门
I once gave to my Rebecca a belated promise ring
我曾给瑞贝卡一枚戒指
And she sold it to the waitress on a train
可她转身把它卖给火车上的女乘务员
I may find her by the phone but with a fashion magazine
打电话找到她 手上多了一本时尚杂志
She may kiss me when her girlfriends leave again
也许等朋友们散去 她会再次亲吻我
They say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take"
人们说 “时间便是生命不可承受之重”
I think I could never love another girl
我觉得我不可能再这般挚爱另一个女孩了
To be free atop a tree stump and to look the other way
我不可能再爬上树 尝试看清另一个方向
While she shines my mother's imitation pearls
她手上的闪亮珍珠是我母亲所赠
周日早晨 瑞贝卡丢了一本她从未启页的书
Sunday evening my Rebecca's lost a book she never read
月亮西沉大海
And the moon already fell into the sea
县政府的花圃边曾伫立着我们父亲的塑像
Saw the statues of our fathers in the courthouse flower bed
如今他们藏匿在一片婆娑树影中
Now they blend with all the lightning-tattered trees
人们说 “时间便是生命不可承受之重”
They say, "Time may give you more than your poor bones could ever take"
我的瑞贝卡说 她知道我想要个男孩
My Rebecca said she knew I'd want a boy
在沙滩的木板路上 放飞一美元买来的红气球
A dollar for my boardwalk red balloon, to float away
她会给我买来更多 她将是富饶的
She would earn a pocketful to buy me more
