The Scarlet Tide
Elvis Costello
The Scarlet Tide 歌词
When I recall his parting words
当我记起他的临别的话
Must I accept his fate
我不得不接受他的命运
Or take myself far from this place
或让自己远离这里
I thought I heard a black bell toll
我似乎听到丧钟敲响
A little bird did sing
小鸟唱道
Man has no choice
人别无选择
When he wants every thing
当他为获取幸福
We'll rise above the scarlet tide
就此活在风口浪尖
That trickles down through the mountain
涓涓细流由山坡滑落
And separates the widow from the bride
从此新娘变寡妇
Man goes beyond his own decision
被机械牵引
Gets caught up in a mechanism
人没有选择的权利
Of swindlers who act like kings
或扮演国王的骗子
And brokers who break everything
或毁灭一切的坏人
The dark of night was swiftly fading
黑夜渐渐远去
Close to the dawn of day
白昼快要到来
Why would I want him just to lose him again
为什么失去他才爱上他
We'll rise above the scarlet tide
就此活在风口浪尖
That trickles down through the mountain
涓涓细流由山坡滑落
And separates the widow from the bride
从此新娘变寡妇
