Brompton Oratory
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Brompton Oratory 歌詞
Up those stone steps I climb
我爬上那一層層石階
Hail this joyful day's return
歡聲慶祝這一天的到來
Into its great shadowed vault I go
走入這間教堂
Hail the Pentecostal morn
歡慶這五旬節的清晨
The reading is from Luke 24
依據路加福音24章的描述
Where Christ returns to his loved ones
在這一天基督復活
I look at the stone apostles
我看著這些教徒的雕像
Think that it's alright for some
我想他們可以給我一些慰藉
And I wish that I was made of stone
我多希望我是由石頭雕刻而成的
So that I would not have to see
這樣我就不用面對這荒蕪的世界
A beauty impossible to define
這難以描述的美
A beauty impossible to believe
這難以相信的美
A beauty impossible to endure
這難以忍受的美
The blood imparted in little sips
飲一口鮮血
The smell of you still on my hands
手中仍有你的餘香
As I bring the cup up to my lips
當我把這酒杯放在唇邊
No God up in the sky
天上的神靈
And no devil beneath the sea
深海的惡魔
Could do the job that you did, baby
也無法做出你這樣的行為寶貝
Of bringing me to my knees
我像丟了魂
Outside I sit on the stone steps
癱坐在教堂外的石階上
With nothing much to do
不知道該做些什麼
Forlorn and exhausted, baby
孤立無援精疲力盡
By the absence of you
只因你對我心不在焉
