Prodigal Summer - Snow In Mexico

以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供

Where the rats long fed

鼠群久居之地

Sweep out our shame-and in its place

涤尽我们的耻辱 取而代之

We'll make a bower for love

我们将筑起爱的凉亭

A splendid marriage-bed fragrant

芬芳华丽的婚床

With flowers aquiver for the Spring

缀满春日颤动的花朵

And when he comes

当他来临之时

Our murdered dreams shall wake

我们被扼杀的梦想终将苏醒

And when he comes

当他来临之时

All the mute birds shall sing

所有沉默的鸟儿都将歌唱

Rhododendron slick

湿润的杜鹃花丛

And now climbing into an old-growth

此刻正攀入一片原始森林

Forest whose steepness had spared it from ever being logged

陡峭的地势使它免遭砍伐

But even here

但即便在此处

Where a good oak-hickory

橡树山核桃树形成的

Canopy sheltered the ridge top

茂密树冠仍庇护着山脊

Last night's rain had pounded

昨夜暴雨倾盆而下

Through hard enough to obscure the tracks

冲刷得足迹模糊难辨

She knew the animal's size

她仍能判断野兽体型

From the path it had left

根据它途经之处

Through the glossy undergrowth of mayapples

穿过五月苹果湿润的灌木丛

What after the flashlight

当手电筒光芒熄灭后

Oh I give you all

我愿献出全部

Oh I give you all

我愿献出全部

What after the flashlight

当手电筒光芒熄灭后

Oh I give you all

我愿献出全部

Hey here fall

看啊 足迹在此坠落

And now climbing into an old-growth

此刻正攀入一片原始森林

Forest whose steepness had spared it from ever being logged

陡峭的地势使它免遭砍伐

But even here

但即便在此处

Where a good oak-hickory

橡树山核桃树形成的

Canopy sheltered the ridge top

茂密树冠仍庇护着山脊

Last night's rain had pounded

昨夜暴雨倾盆而下

Through hard enough to obscure the tracks

冲刷得足迹模糊难辨

She knew the animal's size

她仍能判断野兽体型

From the path it had left

根据它途经之处

Through the glossy undergrowth of mayapples

穿过五月苹果湿润的灌木丛

And that was enough to speed up her heart

这发现已令她心跳加速

It could be what she'd been looking for these two years and more

或许这就是她两年来

This lifetime

乃至此生追寻的目标

But to know for sure she needed details

但要想确认 她需要更多细节

Especially the faint claw mark beyond the toe pad that distinguishes canid from feline

尤其是爪垫后方那道浅痕 犬科与猫科的分野

That would be the first thing to vanish in a hard rain

这痕迹总在暴雨中最先消逝

So it wasn't going to appear to her now

所以此刻她注定无缘得见

However hard she looked

无论她如何凝神寻找

Now it would take more than tracks

如今单凭足迹已不足为证

And on this sweet damp morning at the beginning of the world

在这创世之初般甜润的清晨

That was fine with her

她却觉得这样也好

She could be a patient tracker

她是个耐心的追踪者

Eventually the animal would give itself away with a mound of scat

终有一刻 那动物会留下粪便暴露行踪

Which might have dissolved in the rain too

尽管雨水可能已将其冲刷殆尽
