Take This Longing

許多男人愛上了
Many men have loved the bells
你拴在馬韁上的鈴鐺
You fastened to the rein,
而那些曾愛過你的人
And everyone who wanted you
都發現他們想再次擁有你
They found what they will always want again.
你在你自己的美麗中迷失
Your beauty lost to you yourself
就像男人迷失在裡面一樣
Just as it was lost to them.
哦從我的口中擷取這縷思念

無論我用這雙手做過何事
Oh take this longing from my tongue,
讓我一睹你將凋零的美麗
Whatever useless things these hands have done.
就像你讓汝愛所做的那樣
Let me see your beauty broken down
你的身軀宛如探照燈
Like you would do for one you love.
揭露我的窮困

而我卻願意接受你的施捨
Your body like a searchlight
知道你哭喊：現在我要你試試我的貪婪
My poverty revealed,
然後一切事情都取決於
I would like to try your charity
你睡在離我多近
Until you cry, 'now you must try my greed.'
請從我的口中擷取這縷思念
And everything depends upon
我雙手做盡孤獨之事
How near you sleep to me
讓我一睹你將凋零的美麗

就像你讓汝愛所做的那樣
Just take this longing from my tongue
飢餓宛如那
All the lonely things my hands have done.
軍隊踏過的拱道
Let me see your beauty broken down
我佇立在你身後的廢墟
Like you would do for one your love.
拎著你冬日的衣物和破碎的涼鞋帶

我鍾情於你那裡
Hungry as an archway
從背後望去的裸軀
Through which the troops have passed,
哦從我的口中擷取這縷思念
I stand in ruins behind you,
我雙手做盡無用之事
With your winter clothes, your broken sandal straps.
為我解下你租用的藍袍
I love to see you naked over there
就像你讓汝愛所做的那樣
Especially from the back.
你會忠誠於更好的男人

而我恐怕他已不存在
Oh take this longing from my tongue,
所以請讓我奪走你的愛戀
All the useless things my hands have done,
在這個我已經
Untie for me your hired blue gown,
宣告死亡的房間
Like youwould do for one that you love.
我甚至願披上那些古老的月桂葉

曾在他頭上搖晃
Youre faithful to the better man,
就請從我的口中擷取這縷思念
Im afraid that he left.
我雙手做盡無用之事
So let me judge your love affair
讓我一睹你將凋零的美麗
In this very room where i have sentenced
就像你讓汝愛所做的那樣
Mine to death.
就像你讓汝愛所做的那樣
Ill even wear these old laurel leaves
That hes shaken from his head.

Just take this longing from my tongue,
All the useless things my hands have done,
Let me see your beauty broken down,
Like you would do for one you love.
Like you would do for one you love.
