Belated Promise Ring - Iron/Wine
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Sunday morning my Rebecca sleeping in with me again
周日清晨 我的丽贝卡又与我相拥而眠
There's a kid outside the church kicking a can
教堂外有个孩子踢着空罐头叮当作响
When the cedar branches twist she turns her collar to the wind
当雪松枝桠摇曳 她便将衣领转向风的方向
The weather can close the world within it's hand
天气能把整个世界攥在掌心收放
And my mother says Rebecca is as stubborn as they come
母亲总说丽贝卡倔强得世间罕见
They both call to me with words I never knew
她们用陌生词汇向我声声呼唤
There's a bug inside the thimble
顶针里困着一只甲虫
There's a band aid on her thumb
她拇指上贴着创可贴
And a pony in the river turning blue
河中小马驹渐渐泛青
They say time may give you more
他们说时光给予的馈赠
Than your poor bones could ever take
或许沉重得难以承受
My Rebecca says she never wants a boy
我的丽贝卡说她永远不要男孩
To be barefoot on the driveway as they wave and ride away
赤脚站在车道上挥手告别
Then to run inside and curse the open door
转身奔回屋内 咒骂那扇敞开的门
I once gave to my Rebecca a belated promise ring
我曾给丽贝卡一枚迟到的承诺戒指
And she sold it to the waitress on a train
她在火车上将故事卖给女侍应
I may find her by the phone but with a fashion magazine
或许能在电话旁找到她 但总伴着时尚杂志
She may kiss me when her girlfriends leave again
当闺蜜们再次离开 她或许会吻我
They say Time may give you more
他们说时光给予的馈赠
Than your poor bones could ever take
或许沉重得难以承受
I think I could never love another girl
我想我再也无法爱上别的姑娘
To be free a top a tree stump
像树桩顶端般自由无拘
And to look the other way
而我只能移开视线
While she shines my mother's imitation pearls
当她擦拭着母亲的人造珍珠项链
Sunday evening my Rebecca's lost a book she never read
周日黄昏 我的丽贝卡弄丢了那本从未翻阅的书
And the moon already fell into the sea
月亮早已沉入海底
Saw the statues of our fathers in the courthouse flower bed
看见父亲们的雕像矗立在法院花坛
Now they blend with all the lightning tattered trees
此刻他们与雷击过的残树融为一体
They say time may give you more
他们说时光给予的馈赠
Than your poor bones could ever take
或许沉重得难以承受
My Rebecca said she knew I'd want a boy
我的丽贝卡说她知道我渴望一个男孩
A dollar for my boardwalk red balloon to float away
花一美元买下我的红气球 任它飘向远方
She would earn a pocketful to buy me more
她会赚得满口袋 只为给我更多
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
