The Soul Cages

歌词
The boy child is locked in the fisherman's yard
可怜的男孩被锁在渔夫的院子里
There's a bloodless moon where the oceans die
惨白的月亮挂在死寂的海面上
A shoal of night stars hang fire in the nets
天上的星星在网中眨着眼睛
And the chaos of cages where the crayfish lie
捕龙虾的笼子一片狼藉
Where is the fisherman, where is the goat
渔夫去了哪里,替罪羊去了哪里
Where is the keeper in his carrion coat
那个穿着腐臭外套的看守去了哪里
Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies
夜鸟飞起的时候月蚀吞没了月亮
Where is the child with his father's eyes
那个眼睛像他父亲的孩子去了哪里
He's the king of the ninth world
他是第九世界里的王者
The twisted son of the fog bells' toll
是在浓雾和钟声中长大的孩子
In each and every lobster cage, a tortured human soul
每个笼子里都是一个被拷问的灵魂
These are the souls of the broken factories
那是这破败工厂中囚禁的灵魂
The subject slaves of the broken crown
那是这破败王权统治下的奴隶
The dead accounting of old guilty promises
那是从未兑现过的愧疚诺言
These are the souls of the broken town
那是这破败城镇中游荡的灵魂
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
'I have a wager,' the brave child spoke “
我要跟你打个赌”,勇敢的孩子说
The fisherman laughed though disturbed at the joke
渔夫不怀好意地笑着
'You will drink what I drink
我喝什么你就喝什么
But you must equal me
你必须喝得跟我一样多
And if the drink leaves me standing
如果喝完之后我还能站着
A soul shall go free'
你就必须释放一个灵魂
'I have here a cask of most magical wine
我这儿有一大桶最神奇的酒
A vintage that blessed every ship in the line
它能保佑所有的航船一帆风顺
It's wrung from the blood of the sailors who died
它是用死去水手的鲜血酿成
Young white bodies adrift in the tide'
那些随波逐流的年轻苍白尸体
'And what's in it for me, my pretty young thing?
那我能从中得到什么,我可爱的小东西
Why should I whistle when the caged bird sings?
我为什么要逗你这笼中的囚鸟开心
If you lose a wager with the king of the sea
如果你输给了海洋之王
You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me'
那你将永远待在笼子里面陪着我
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
A body lies open in the fisherman's yard like
一具尸体躺在渔夫的院子里
The side of a ship where the iceberg rips
像一艘船被冰山撕裂了船体
One less soul in the soul cages
灵魂的牢笼中少了一个灵魂
One last curse on the fisherman's lips
渔夫最后一次咒骂着自己
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
And he dreamed of a ship on the sea
他梦见海上有一艘船
It would carry his father and he
它能载着他的父亲和自己
To a place they could never be found
去一个他们从没去过的地方
To a place far away from this town
去一个远离这座城镇的地方
A Newcastle ship with no coals
那是艘不用烧煤的纽卡斯尔船
They would sail to the island of souls
他们将乘着它去往灵魂的岛屿
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
These are the soul cages
那是些囚禁灵魂的牢笼
