John My Beloved - Sufjan Stevens (苏夫扬·史蒂文斯)
Lyrics by：Sufjan Stevens
Composed by：Sufjan Stevens
Are we to speak first day of the week
我们会谈起一周的第一天
Stumbling words at the bar
在酒吧里忐忑不安地说话
Beauty blue eyes my order of fries
碧眼的美人 我点份薯条
Long island kindness and wine
附上长岛的友善和葡萄酒
Beloved of John I get it all wrong
亲爱的约翰 我一直理解错了
I read you for some kind of poem
我把你读成诗
Covered in lines the fossils I find
我着迷到的的化石隐于字里行间
Have they no life of their own
它们是否毫无生气
So can we pretend sweetly
所以我们能否轻易假装
Before the mystery ends
就在这神秘结束之前
I am a man with a heart that offends
我只是一个凡人 带着一颗
With it's lonely and greedy demands
被孤寂与贪欲的诉求刺伤的心
There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking
唯独我的影子陪我说话
I'm dead
我已死去
Such a waste your beautiful face
你浪费了你美丽的脸庞
Stumbling carpet arise
露出愁苦的面容
Go follow your gem your white feathered friend
去追随你的珍宝 还有你白色的羽毛 朋友
Icarus point to the sun
伊卡洛斯指向太阳
If history speaks of two baby teeth
如果历史谈到两颗乳牙
I'm painting the hills blue and red
我会将山脉涂成蓝色和红色
They said beware lord hear my prayer
他们说 当心啊我的主 听听我的祷告
I've wasted my throes on your head
我将我的痛苦全都倾诉于你
So can we be friends sweetly
我们还能否成为亲密友人
Before the mystery ends
在这神秘结束之前
I love you more than the world can contain
我对你的爱连这个世界都装不下
In it's lonely and ramshackle head
但它却在我孤独而又摇摇欲坠的头脑中
There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking
唯独我的影子陪我说话
I'm dead
我已死去
I'm holding my breath
我屏住呼吸
My tongue on your chest
我的舌头埋在你的胸前
What can be said of my heart
我的心又能说些什么
If history speaks the kiss on my cheek
如果历史谈论到我脸颊上的吻
Where there remains but a mark
只是留下了一个印记
Beloved my John so I'll carry on
我亲爱的约翰 我会坚持下去
Counting my cards down to one
倒数着我的卡片
And when I am dead come visit my bed
当我死去 请来到我的床头
My fossil is bright in the sun
我的骨骸在太阳光下闪耀
So can we contend peacefully
所以我们能否和平竞争
Before my history ends
在我的生命终结之前
Jesus I need you be near me come shield me
耶稣啊 我需要你靠近我 来庇佑我
From fossils that fall on my head
不让化石落在我的头上
There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking
唯独我的影子陪我说话
I'm dead
我已死去
