Burning Herself (LP版) - Harry Chapin
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
She was crazy
她如此疯狂
She was beautiful
却又如此美丽
I guess she had to be
或许她不得不如此
And I was angry
而我愤怒不已
You were blind
你视而不见
Because I could not see
因我也被蒙蔽
Except for what her cigarettes
唯有那香烟的痕迹
Had done to her skin
在她肌肤上刻下印记
I should have known the outside world
我早该明白外面的世界
Would reveal what was within
终会映照她内心的深渊
But she was burning herself
可她却在焚烧自己
And her hair was filled with ashes
发丝间落满灰烬
She was burning herself
她在焚烧自己
And her life became a flame
生命化作烈焰
She was burning herself
她在焚烧自己
And the flame became her passion
那火焰成了她的激情
She was burning herself
她在焚烧自己
And her passion her passion was her pain
而她的激情 她的激情正是她的痛楚
She was trusting
她曾信任过
You could have saved her too
你本也可以拯救她
All hope had passed for her
但对她而言 一切希望都已消逝
And I was lusting
而我曾渴望
And she gave to you
她给予了你
That's all I asked for her
那便是我对她唯一的祈求
The marks upon her body
她身上的伤痕累累
And the marks upon her mind
心中的创伤更深
I knew I could have erased them
我本可以抚平这些伤痛
If I'd only taken the time
若我曾付出真心
But she was burning herself
可她却在焚烧自己
And her hair was filled with ashes
发丝间落满灰烬
She was burning herself
她在焚烧自己
And her life became a flame
生命化作烈焰
She was burning herself
她在焚烧自己
And the flame became her passion
那火焰成了她的激情
She was burning herself
她在焚烧自己
And her passion her passion was her pain
而她的激情 她的激情正是她的痛楚
I never saw her do it
我从未亲眼目睹
I only saw the scars
只看见那些伤痕
I never could imagine
我永远无法想象
What could make her go that far
是什么让她如此极端
I wondered was she driven
我猜想她是否被驱使
By a desperate need to feel
被一种渴望感受的绝望
To find out she was really living
只为确认自己真实地活着
To discover that her life was real
只为发现她的生命并非虚幻
Or was it that the pain
又或许是因为痛苦
Slicing through her like a knife
如刀锋般划过她的身躯
Was easier to take
比起生命的虚无
Than the emptiness of life
更容易承受
Had a strange sense of drama
她带着戏剧般的奇异感
Caught her inside a role
深陷于某个角色之中
Or was she trying to cauterize
抑或她试图用灼烧
The changes on her sole
来封存灵魂的裂痕
I don't know I don't know
我不懂 我不懂
I don't know her passion was her pain
我不懂她的狂热即是她的苦难
