以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by：Elvis Costello

I sat in a motel room with the doctor
我坐在汽车旅馆房间 与医生相对
Just before we were supposed to sing
就在我们即将歌唱之前
He said regarding this guardian wing
他谈起这守护之翼
This black and clipped misshapen thing
这漆黑残缺的畸形残羽
Hobbling on from claw to ring
蹒跚着从利爪到指环间挪移
Hung upside down and cawing
倒悬着发出嘶哑啼鸣
Pecking at carrion of the fallen
啄食着阵亡者的腐肉
Battalion
整支军团
Thawing
解冻时分
On frozen mooring
在冰封的泊岸
Blackbird in a crust no more
黑鸟挣脱了硬壳束缚
They fell down four and twenty
二十四只纷纷坠落
Bloodstained on the land of want and plenty
血迹斑驳于丰饶之土
Now raven's standing at his shoulder
乌鸦此刻伫立他肩头
Stared with eyes of molten solder
熔铅般的目光凝视
Dripping on a lacquer box
滴落在漆木匣上
Introducing the keys to locks
将钥匙插入锁孔
Seven talents there where hidden
七种天赋在此隐匿
Mysterious and some forbidden
神秘莫测 有些禁忌
Take the honey from the comb
从蜂巢中取蜜
Ravel thread around the loom
织机缠绕丝线
Dig the dirt up from the tomb
掘开墓穴的尘土
Dr.Watson I presume
华生医生 我猜是你
One will follow
有人将追随而来
Two unknown sorrow
两重未知的哀伤
Three for laughter
三重为欢愉
Four ever after
四重至永恒
Five foot flood the waters hit
五尺洪流漫涌而至
Six feet deep the eternal pit
六尺之下永恒深渊
Seven prayers and seven pleas
七次祈祷七次恳求
To eight imagined deities
向八位虚无神明
Cat o'nine tails
九尾鞭刑
Cat of nine lives
九命猫妖的传说
Brides turned into old wives tales
新娘终成老妇的童话
Your complexion colors then it pales
你的面色忽明又忽暗
And into the sunset it sails
随落日余晖渐消散
Soon these secrets will be scattered
秘密即将四散飘零
Heaven knows what lies inside
天知晓其中藏何玄机
It took a moment to discover
顿悟只需刹那光阴
A lifetime to decide
抉择却耗尽一生
Take the honey from the comb
从蜂巢中取蜜
Ravel thread around the loom
织机缠绕丝线
Dig the dirt up from the tomb
掘开墓穴的尘土
Dr.Watson I presume
华生医生 我猜是你
