Man Burning - Josh Ritter

Man Burning - Josh Ritter

Don't stand so close to me
不要站得离我这么近
Don't be another tragedy
不要成为另一桩悲剧
I've burned everybody
我已经燃烧了每一个
Who had a hand to lend
伸出手想要帮助的人
A man burning at both ends
一个两边都在燃烧的人
No one put me in this hell
没有任何人将我置于这困境中
I lit a fire underneath myself
我给自己点上了火
Now I'm blazing the same
现在我照亮了那条
Old trail back to you again
再一次通向你的小路
A man burning at both ends
一个两边都在燃烧的人
A dangerous thing to know about
这是一件很危险的事情
No painless way to put me out
没有什么无痛的方法能将我熄灭
You either make a bed that's cold
要不你就铺上一个冰冷的床
Or you're walking barefoot over coals
要不你就赤脚走在煤块上
I regret the things I've done
我对自己做的事情感到后悔了
Bitter words and fiery tongues
那些怨言和怒骂
And letters burned to smoke
信件都烧成了烟尘
And then turned to wind
然后就消失在风中了
A man burning at both ends
一个两边都在燃烧的人
A dangerous thing to know about
这是一件很危险的事情
No painless way to put me out
没有什么无痛的方法能将我熄灭
You either make a bed that's cold
要不你就铺上一个冰冷的床
Or you're walking barefoot over coals
要不你就赤脚走在煤块上
We ran barefoot through the reeds
我们赤脚走过芦苇荡
Wetted down and with the need
都被浸湿了
The tide though high and getting higher
浪潮越来越高
Could not put out the man on fire
也无法熄灭那个燃烧着的人
Look look look look look
低头看一看
Down your street for me
看我走在街道上
Look look look look look up
抬头看一看
Your the window please
向你的窗外看一看
You'll see a light where
你会看见一束火光
Before no light had been
那里之前是没有的
A man burning at both ends
那里有一个两边都在燃烧的人
