Origin Of Love
爱之起源
When the earth was still flat
那时地球仍是平地
And clouds made of fire
烈焰燃烧构成云朵
And mountains stretched up to the sky
山峰直冲云霄
Sometimes higher
有时高过天空
Folks roamed the earth
人们漫步于大地
Like big rolling kegs
如同旋转的大桶
They had two sets of arms
他们长有两双手臂
They had two sets of legs
他们长有两对双腿
They had two faces peering out of one giant head
他们巨大的头上长着两张脸
So they could watch all around them
所以他们可以眼观八方
As they talked while they read
同时阅读与交谈
And they never, knew nothing of love
但他们对爱一无所知
It was before
因那时还未有爱之起源
The origin of love
爱之起源
The origin of love
爱之起源
Now there were three sexes then
那时有三种性别
One that looked like two men glued up back-to-back
一种如同两个背靠背粘连的男人
They called the children of the sun
称他们为太阳之子
And similar in shape and girth was the children of the earth
大地之子形状和周长与之相似
They looked like two girls rolled up in one
他们像是合在一起的两个女人
And the children of the moon
还有月之子
Looked like a folk shoved on a spoon
看起来像叉子与勺子相拥
They was part sun part earth, part daughter part son
他们一半太阳一半大地，半是儿子半是女儿
Ah...
Ah...

Now the gods grew quite scared
后来神开始对我们的
of our strength and defiance
力量与反抗感到恐惧
And Thor said
于是雷神索尔说
I’m gonna kill them all with my hammer
我要像杀掉那些巨人一样
Like I killed the giants
锤死这些家伙
But Zeus said
但宙斯阻止他并说
No, you better let me
让我来吧
Use my lightening like scissors
用我剪刀似的雷电
Like I cut the legs of the whales
就像我曾经剪掉鲸鱼的腿
Dinosaurs into lizards
将恐龙剪成蜥蜴一样
And then he grabbed up some bolts
于是宙斯拿起一些闪电
He let out and laugh
他大笑着
Said,
并叫道，
I’ll split them right down the middle
我要从正中间撕裂他们
Gonna cut them right up in half
把他们一分为二
And the storm clouds gathered above
于是乌云滚滚
Into great balls of fire
化为巨大火球
And then fire
然后烈焰
Shot down from the sky in bolts
化作闪电劈向大地
Like shinning blades of a knife
如同闪亮的刀锋
And they ripped right through the flesh
直刺我们的肉身
of the children of the sun and the moon and the earth
将太阳，月亮与大地之子撕裂
And some Indian god
某位印度神
Sewed the wound up into a hole
将伤口缝合成一个小洞
Pulled it round to our bellies
拉至我们的腹部
To remind us the price we pay
以此警示我们付出的代价
And Osiris, and the gods of the Nile
而奥西里斯，还有尼罗河之神
Gathered up a big storm to blow a hurricane
聚集风暴，带来飓风
To scatter us away
使我们分散
In a flood of wind and rain
狂风暴雨，洪水席卷
A sea of tidal waves
惊涛骇浪，汹涌澎湃
To wash us all away
我们无从抵挡
And If we don’t behave
若我们仍不守规矩
They will cut us down again
他们会再度撕裂我们
And we’ll be hopping around on one foot
我们将只能单腿跳跃行走
And looking through one eye
通过一只独眼来看世界
(deny Me and be doomed)
否认吾者必受毁灭.
Last time I saw you
上次相见时
We just split in two
我们刚被分离
You was looking at me

I was looking at you
我亦与你相望
You had a way so familiar
感觉你如此熟悉
I could not recognize
我却无法认出
‘Cause you had blood on your face
因为你的脸被血迹覆盖
I had blood in my eyes
而我眼中充满血水
But I could swear by your expression
但以你的神情我敢发誓
That the pain down in your soul

Was the SAME
与此刻折磨着我灵魂的
As the one down in mine
完全一致
That’s the pain
那是当初
That cuts a straight line down through the heart
