这是为你写下的歌，小白桦 [00:08.889]Though I will never know you
虽然我将永远无法与你相识 [00:24.973]And at the back of what we've done
而在我们所做的一切的背后 [00:33.471]There is the knowledge of you
无不想要知悉你的存在 [00:49.732]Well I wish we could take every path

还记得你曾眺望着漫天星辰吗？ [01:49.237]So far away in their bullet-proof cars
它们那么渺远，藏在防弹车里 [02:05.394]We heard the rushing, slow intake
我们会听到急促却缓慢的进气声 [02:14.558]Of the dark, dark water and the engine brakes
来自昏暗、漆黑的潭水，来自引擎的刹车 [02:29.874]And I said how about them engine brakes?
我说他们的引擎刹车是怎么样的？ [02:39.096]And if I should die before I wake
倘若我在苏醒之前就已经死去 [02:54.326]Will you keep an eye on baby birch?
你能帮我照看那株小白桦吗？ [03:04.433]Because I'd hate to see her make the same mistake
因为我不愿见她重蹈覆辙 [03:17.717]When it was dark I called and you came
在我身处黑暗困顿之时，我呼唤着你的到来 [03:32.885]When it was dark I saw shapes
在我迷失于晦暗长夜时，我寻觅着你的身影 [03:47.612]When I see stars I feel your hand
当我望见星光闪烁，我感知到你温热的手 [04:02.113]And I see stars and I reel again
当我望见星光闪烁，它却又掷我于混乱之中 [04:16.558]Well mercy me, I'll be goddamned!
饶恕我吧，上帝会惩罚我的！ [04:25.978]It's been a long, long time since I last saw you
我已经太久太久，没能与你相见 [04:41.062]And I have never known the plan
而我也从来不知道这个计划 [04:48.603]It's been a long, long, time. How are you?
已经过了好久好久，你还好吗？ [05:05.561]Your eyes are green, your hair is gold
你的眼眸是翠绿的，你的头发流溢金光 [05:12.390]Your hair is black, your eyes are blue
你的头发是乌黑的，你的瞳孔映射湛蓝 [05:28.279]I closed the ranks and I doubled back
我收敛起姿容，原路折返 [05:35.676]But you know I hated to close the doggone door on you
但是你知道我憎恨将你狠狠拒之门外 [05:50.306]We take a walk along the dirty lake
我们曾漫步于肮脏泥泞的湖边 [06:03.170]Hear the goose cussing at me over her eggs
听见护卵的鹅引吭叫嚣我离开 [06:16.220]You poor little cousin, I don't want your dregs
你这可怜的小表弟，我不愿理睬你的琐事 [06:31.507]A little baby fussing over my legs
一个小婴儿在我的腿边嬉笑打闹 [06:45.109]There is a blacksmith and there is a shepherd and there is a butcher boy
在那有铁匠，牧羊人，一位屠夫男孩 [06:52.202]And there is a barber who's cutting and cutting away at my only joy
在那的一位理发师，两刃交错，剪除了我唯一的快乐 [06:58.502]I saw a rabbit as slick as a knife and as pale as a candlestick
我看见一只兔子，它灵巧如利刃，苍白似烛台 [07:04.595]And I had thought it'd be harder to do but I caught her and skinned her quick, held her there
我本以为这会更难，但我捉住她，迅速剥下她的皮，轻拥着她的身体 [07:11.742]Kicking and mewling upended unspooling unsung and blue
踢着踢着、抽泣呜咽、推倒颠覆、无声无息 [07:16.882]Told her wherever you go little runaway bunny I will find you
告诉她，无论你去往哪里，逃家小兔啊，我都会寻回你的 [07:22.853]And then she ran
然后她奔跑着离去了 [07:27.708]As they're liable to do
这本就应该是它们的天性吧 [07:35.049]Be at peace baby, and be gone
安息吧我的孩子，走吧 [07:47.323]Be at peace baby, and be gone
安息吧我的孩子，走吧
