Shelter From The Storm - Cassandra Wilson

Twas in another lifetime one of toil and blood
那是另外一种充满血泪的人生
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
黑暗成为美德，前路荆棘密布
I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
我来自荒野，伤痕累累
Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm
请进，她说，我会为你提供暴风雨的庇护
And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
如果你再次踏上这条路，请放心
I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word
我会竭尽全力保护她，我发誓
In a world of steel eyed death
在这个冰冷的钢铁世界
And men who are fighting to be warm
人们为了获得温暖而奋斗
Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm
请进，她说，我会为你提供暴风雨的庇护
Not a word was spoke between us
我们之间没有只言片语
There was little risk involved
没有怀疑
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
因为所有的危险都被解除
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
想象一个永远安全温暖的地方
Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm
请进，她说，我会为你提供暴风雨的庇护
I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail
我精疲力竭，全身冰凉
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail
一路的荆棘给我留下许多伤口
Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn
被鳄鱼追赶，在玉米地里被欺凌
Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm
请进，她说，我会为你提供暴风雨的庇护
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
我猛然转过身，她就在那儿
With silver bracelets on her wrists
手腕带着银镯
And flowers in her hair
头发别着花朵
She walked up to me so gracefully
她优雅地向我走来
And took my crown of thorns
卸下我的防备
Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm
请进，她说，我会为你提供暴风雨的庇护
Now there's a wall between us
现在我们之间建起高墙
Somethin' there's been lost
信任缺失
I took too much for granted got my signals crossed
我将她的付出看做理所应当，我尝到了苦果
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
我意识到，改变从那个被遗忘的清晨开始
Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm
请进，她说，我会为你提供暴风雨的庇护
Well the deputy walks on hard nails
是的，副手走过硬钉
And the preacher rides a mount
传教士在山中骑行
But nothing really matters much
我并不关心这些
It's doom alone that counts
我只关心你我的结束
And the one eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn
独眼的送葬人吹起徒劳的号角
Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm
请进，她说，我会为你提供暴风雨的庇护
I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
我听见新生的婴儿像鸽子一样恸哭
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
老人们失去了爱，只剩残缺的牙齿
Do I understand your question man
我听懂了你的问题吗，先生
Is it hopeless and forlorn
那是绝望和孤独吗？
Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm
请进，她说，我会为你提供暴风雨的庇护
Well I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
是的，我住在异邦，注定要跨界
Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine
美好总是来之不易，总有一天我会得到它
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
如果我可以让时光倒流，回到上帝和她诞生的时候
Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm
请进，她说，我会为你提供暴风雨的庇护
Shelter from the storm
暴风雨的庇护
