Lyrics by:Sufjan Stevens
Composed by:Sufjan Stevens
As if you know the story of Wallowa Lake
仿佛你知晓瓦洛瓦湖的传说
Leviathan first hid in the deep
利维坦最初蛰伏在深渊
Where her children sleep
她的孩子们安眠之处
She kept them hidden from the plague
她将孩子们藏匿于灾厄之外
But have you heard the story of my mother's fate?
可曾听过我母亲的命运?
She left us in Detroit in the rain with a pillowcase
她在雨中离开底特律 只留下枕套
Fortune for the paperweight
压着命运的镇纸
We followed her to Joseph
我们追随她来到约瑟夫
Near the Indian raid
在印第安突袭附近
She wept among the weeds
她在杂草丛中啜泣
Hide and seek for the fallen chief
为陨落的酋长玩着捉迷藏
Spathiphyllum on his grave
他坟前绽放着白鹤芋
And like the cedar wax wing
如同雪松太平鸟般
She was drunk all day
她终日醉意朦胧
We put her in the sheet
我们将她裹进白布
Little wreath candles on the crate
板条箱上摆着小花环蜡烛
As the monster showed its face
当怪物显露真容
And as she waits for her children in the shade
她在阴影中等待她的孩子
Demogorgon or demigod the ghost parade
是恶魔还是半神 幽灵游荡
No oblation will bring her back to our place
任何祭品都无法让她归来
She stayed within the deep end of Wallowa Lake
她留在瓦洛瓦湖的深处
The undertow refrained with the flame of a feathered snake
暗流与羽蛇的火焰一同沉寂
Charybdis in its shallow grave
卡律布迪斯沉睡在浅坟
She gave us one last feature
她留给我们最后的身影
The fullness of her face
她面容的丰盈
In the shade of Hin-mah-too-yah Red Napoleon
在红拿破仑的阴影下
As the demon took her place
当恶魔取代了她的位置
And as we wait for the waters to reside
我们等待湖水退去
Her remarkable stoicism and her pride
她非凡的坚忍与骄傲
When the dragon submerged we knew she had died
巨龙沉没时 我们知晓她已逝去
