歌词
I don't know if there’s a God up in heaven
我不知道上帝是否存在
But I met an angel today
但今天我邂逅了一位天使
Though her wings might be hidden
她将羽翼收拢
'Cause I don't see no feathers
没让我看见分毫
She’s made of light and of grace
却也藏不住她的光明与慈悲
And so she took my hand
她拉着我的手
And she lead me down
指引着我
As we sat by the water's edge
我们坐在河边
And I said, "Matthew's daughter
我向她忏悔道:”马修的女儿啊
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
主清楚我的罪名,但错已酿成
So bathe me in water
就用河水来洗清我的罪过吧
Come and dive in the river, you can start again"
没入这河水之中,也许可以从头来过。”
No, I don't see no halo but I know that it's there
我没有看见她的光环,但我清楚光环就在那里
Resting one inch over her auburn hair
就在离她头顶一英寸的地方
And I told her my secrets, the darkest I have
我告诉她我内心深处的秘密
And I swear that she sees me for all that I am
向她保证我已毫无保留
And I said, "Matthew's daughter
我忏悔道
Heaven knows I’m a sinner and I’ve made mistakes
主清楚我的罪名,但如今错已酿成
So bathe me in water
就用河水来洗清我的罪过吧
Come and dive in the river, we can start again"
在这河水之中,我们可以从头来过。”
And then she took my hand, said, "My love, don't you worry
接着她牵起我的手对我说道:“亲爱的,别担心,
It only means there’s a heart in your chest
这是你活着的证据啊
Ooo, so follow me love and come away with me
来吧,跟我走吧
To where the sun rises in the west"
去往那遥远的极乐世界。”
Then I said, "Matthew's daughter
我回答说:“马修的女儿啊,
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
我已铸成大错
So bathe me in water
就让我用这河水洗去罪过吧
Come and dive in the river, you can start again"
在这河水之中,便可获得重生。”
And I said, "Matthew’s daughter
我对她说道:“马修的女儿啊,
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
上天知道我的罪过,如今我也后悔不已,
So bathe me in water"
就让那河水洗去我的罪过吧。”
And she said to me, "Darling, lemme ease your pain
她回答道:“亲爱的,让我来帮你减轻痛苦吧,
Come and dive in the water, you can start again"
没入这清澈的河水之中,你也将获得重生。”
