歌词
Oh, to see without my eyes
闭上双眼 仍能清晰回忆起彼时
The first time that you kissed me
最初 那吻印下的时刻
Boundless by the time I cried
如今我的泪 却旖旎不至尽头
I built your walls around me
我把你的高墙围筑 在我四周
White noise, what an awful sound
白色噪音耳边充斥 多么聒噪
Fumbling by Rogue River
罗格河沿路 我们支吾无言
Feel my feet above the ground
我的双脚 还在这地面伫立
Hand of God, deliver for me
上帝之手 能否救我于水火
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
悲伤如我
The first time that you touched me
还沉湎 在那第一次彼此抚摸的瞬间
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
爱的渴望 会否终有一日消逝
Blessing be the mystery of love
所幸 还有爱的奥秘永留心间
吾主 我再也不愿相信
Lord, I no longer believe
就让我溺亡 于那生命之泉(出典于John chapter 4)
Drowned in living waters
为我自我兄弟的女儿收获的爱
Cursed by the love that I received
被布下无数诅咒(在前曲Should Have Known Better中提及了这一段感情 Sufjan认为这段感情成为了他痛苦的来源 同时也如同诅咒一般萦绕着他)
From my brother's daughter
如那死去的赫菲斯提翁
Like Hephaestion, who died
曾是亚历山大一生挚恋(Alexander和Hephaestion的禁忌之恋)
Alexander's lover
如今我的河床 已然干涸
Now my riverbed has dried
此后 是否再找不到如你一般的人
Shall I find no other?
悲伤如我
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
只剩得 水鸟般的奔跑翩跹
I'm running like a plover
现在 我开始困惑不解
Now I'm prone to misery
你肩上的胎记 还次次提醒着我
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me
还有多少悲伤 我能够承受
黑鸟 落在我的肩上
How much sorrow can I take?
这段情愫 到底有何不同不妥
Blackbird on my shoulder
这场爱情 究竟何时已无疾而终
And what difference does it make
我还能 与你安眠于一张床榻上吗
When this love is over?
为悲伤填满的河流
Shall I sleep within your bed
把你的手 抚向我的额头
River of unhappiness
直到我的最后一次呼吸 尘埃落定
Hold your hands upon my head
悲伤如我
Till I breathe my last breath
还沉湎 在那最后一次抚摸的瞬间
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
爱的渴望 会否终有一日消逝
The last time that you touched me
所幸 还有爱的奥秘永留心间
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessing be the mystery of love
