Casimir Pulaski Day

歌词
Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens
卡西米尔普拉斯基日
秋麒麟草和健康石
Golden rod and the 4-h stone
是我带来看你的
还记得当我得知你被诊断出患有骨癌
The things I brought you
你的父亲在电话那一边嚎啕大哭
When I found out you had cancer of the bone
他开车驶向海军工厂
只为证明他伤心欲绝
Your father cried on the telephone
早晨的太阳射进百叶窗
当阳光把你的肩胛骨紧紧环绕住
And he drove his car to the navy yard
我好像能看见你读的什么
Just to prove that he was sorry
oh,那是主赐予的光辉
仿佛所有的并发症都不曾有过
In the morning through the window shade
当我亲吻你的唇瓣时
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
在周二晚的圣经日
I could see what you were reading
我们双手合十祈祷你能尽快康复
但是一切都不曾改变
Oh the glory that the lord has made
我还记得在迈克尔的家
And the complications you could do without
当你在卧室亲吻我的脖子
When I kissed you on the mouth
我也几乎摸到了你的衬衣
隔天一早在楼顶
Tuesday night at the bible study
你的父亲发现了我们两人昨晚所做之事
We lift our hands and pray over your body
你告诉我你吓坏了
But nothing ever happens
在主的光芒下你冲出门外
穿着还未来得及整理的衣服和还未系紧的鞋子
I remember at Michael's house
你要我别跟着你
In the living room when you kissed my neck
星期六的早晨当我在打扫房间的时候
And I almost touched your blouse
我发现了你之前写的小卡片
还有你妈妈的照片
In the morning at the top of the stairs
就藏在地板之间的鸿沟里
When your father found out what we did that night
穿着扎在裤子里面的衣服和还未系紧的鞋子
And you told me you were scared
我在浴室里泣不成声
在你最终离去的那个早晨
Oh the glory when you ran outside
护士低着头走进来
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
红雀轻轻扣了扣窗户
And you told me not to follow you
清晨晚冬的阴影
三月的第一个节日
Sunday night when I cleaned the house
我仿佛看到你还活着
I find the card where you wrote it out
主所赐予的一切
With the pictures of your mother
还有当我望向他脸时他复杂的神情
就在清晨的窗边
On the floor at the great divide
当神圣的主带走我们的家时
但是他又抓住了我的肩膀摇了摇我的脸
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
接着又是一场场的掠夺,掠夺,掠夺
I am crying in the bathroom
In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window
In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of march on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing
Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications when I see his face
In the morning in the window
Oh the glory when he took our place
But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
And he takes and he takes and he takes
