歌词
我走进了一场雪崩，
它掩盖了我的灵魂；
Well I stepped into an avalanche,
那时我不像你们看到的这样驼背
it covered up my soul;
我睡在金山之下
when I am not this hunchback that you see,
你们这些想要克服痛苦的人
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
得学会，学会把我伺候好。
You who wish to conquer pain,
你们下来淘金时
you must learn, learn to serve me well.
偶然撞到了我。
You strike my side by accident
你们给他衣裳和食物的这个瘸子
as you go down for your gold.
他既不饿也不冷；
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
他也没请求你们
is neither starved nor cold;
来这世界中心陪伴他
he does not ask for your company,
在我登上神坛之时
not at the centre, the centre of the world.
并不是你们把我推举上去的
你们的律法也不能迫使我
When I am on a pedestal,
卑颜屈膝俯首称臣
you did not raise me there.
我自己就是你们盯着看的
Your laws do not compel me
这丑陋驼包的基座
to kneel grotesque and bare.
你们这些想要克服痛苦的人
I myself am the pedestal
得明白什么能使我变得仁慈
for this ugly hump at which you stare.
你们给我的爱的碎屑
都已被我搁置一边
You who wish to conquer pain,
你的痛苦可不是通行证
you must learn what makes me kind;
它只是影子，我伤口的影子。
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
我已经开始在渴求你，
they're the crumbs I've left behind.
在我已经没有贪欲的时候
Your pain is no credential here,
我已经开始想要见到你
it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.
在我已经没有需要的时候
你说你已经远离了我，
I have begun to long for you,
但在你呼吸时我能感觉到你
I who have no greed;
别为我穿着这些破衣烂衫
I have begun to ask for you,
我知道你并不贫穷
I who have no need.
别再这样猛烈地爱我
You say you've gone away from me,
在你知道你并不确定的时候
but I can feel you when you breathe.
亲爱的，该由你来定夺了，
我销蚀的是你的肉体
Do not dress in those rags for me,
I know you are not poor;
you don't love me quite so fiercely now
when you know that you are not sure,
it is your turn, beloved,
it is your flesh that I wear.
