歌词
Someday darling, when you're dead
亲爱的,当某一天你辞世时
And with this wilting world you've wed
随同着这个你许配的枯萎的世界
And all I have of you to keep
我曾拥有过的你的一切都将长存
God rest your blessed busy head
愿上天保佑你烦冗的头脑得到安息
Are words, you tell them to my sleep
还有那些伴我入梦的吟语
Someday when your shadows flower
某天当你的阴翳也绽放出花朵
Then petals blossom by the hour
花瓣随着小时的流逝破颜
I'll take my day off to your grave
我将会闲置出一日,步向你的坟墓
And let the mighty winds devour
让那雄浑的狂风吞噬掉一切
And give you one triumphant wave
给予你一片凯旋的漪澜
God knows that I still hear you
只有上天知道,我仍聆听着你
Darling, I still hear you
吾爱,我仍凝听着你
Laughing
吟吟笑语
But only for a minute
但也只维持了片刻
And then you're gone the minute
下一瞬,你便随风逝去
And then you're long gone
与世长辞
Like the day from the moon
如明月永诀了白日
Like the child from his high balloon
如气球飞离了孩童
Someday while my mouth's still warm
当某一天我的口中仍存有氤氲热气
And everyone has been informed
每一个人都会被告知到
I'll think of what you said last May
我还会挂念着你上个五月所说的一切
To let them not be long forlorn
为了让它们不再寂寥
But buried in some better way
而是以更体面的方式埋葬
Along the Lake Superior shore
沿着苏必利尔湖之岸
God knows that I still hear you
只有上天知道,我仍聆听着你
Darling, I still hear you
吾爱,我仍凝听着你
Singing
低吟浅唱
But only for a minute
但也只是持续了一瞬
And then you're gone the minute
下一刻,你转瞬而去
And then you're long gone
与世长辞
Like the day from the moon
如明月永诀了白日
Like the child from his high balloon
如气球飞离了孩童
