歌词
With quill and silver knife
一柄银刀削刻着翎杆笔尖
She carved a poison pen
她雕篆出那封恶毒的匿名信
Wrote to her lover's wife:
寄向她情人的妻子:
"Your husband's seed has fed my flesh".
"你的丈夫曾在我的体内播撒下种子."
As if a leper's face
这封信散发出的魅力
That tainted letter graced
堪比麻疯病人的面孔
The wife with choke-stone throat
那位妻子的喉口哽咽
Ran to the day with tear-blind eyes.
直至那天,泪水还盲目着双眼
Impaled on nails of ice
受铁钉刺穿过冰样指甲
And raked with emerald fire
又经受了翡翠火焰侵虐
The wife with soul of snow
妇人那白雪般洁净灵魂
With steady hands begins to write:
手腕坚定地写下回复:
"I'm still, I need no life
"我镇定无比,只是失去了生存的欲望
To serve on boys and men
不再为男人与孩子们日夜操劳
What's mine was yours is dead
往昔相捆着我们的部分,现已荡然无存
I take my leave of mortal flesh"
我将会离开这具血肉之躯."
