Auntie Toothache - Stephin Merritt
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Isn't it strange said the inkwell
墨水瓶开口说 这难道不奇怪吗
All that comes out of me
从我体内流淌出的
The famous lines the valentines And sometimes
那些名句 那些情诗 有时却只是
Just think without an inkwell where
想想看 若没有墨水瓶
Would the poet be
诗人将何去何从
I'll make you change your mind
我会让你改变主意
Said the pen plucked from the tail
羽毛笔说道 它刚从
Of a bird
鸟儿的尾羽上拔下
Those famous lines those valentines
那些传世诗行 那些缠绵情书
I wrote them every word
字字句句 皆出我手
Without a pen never again would
若无笔墨 世间诗篇
Poetry be heard
从此绝响
Forget the inkwell and the pen
抛却墨水瓶与钢笔
When auntie toothache comes again
当牙痛阿姨再度降临
The poet saddest of all men
诗人啊 最悲怆的生灵
Can sing no more
再难吟唱
When auntie toothache starts her torture
当牙痛阿姨开始她的酷刑
With her pliers and her lance and her fires
挥舞着她的钳子 长矛与烈火
She desires him to dance
她逼迫他起舞
And so they dance dance dance dance
于是他们跳啊 跳啊 跳啊 跳啊
Dance dance dance
跳啊 跳啊 跳啊
And auntie toothache wields her tongs
牙痛阿姨挥舞着她的钳子
And makes her poet sing her songs
迫使诗人唱起她的歌谣
In screams and whimpers till he longs
在尖叫与呜咽中 他渴望
To die right now
此刻即刻死去
Then auntie toothache makes him vow
牙痛阿姨逼他立下誓言
(with one more cup of fire ants)
(灌下一杯火蚁毒酒)
That he'll give up poetry and take up dance
他将放弃诗歌 改习舞蹈
And so they dance dance dance dance
于是他们跳啊 跳啊 跳啊 跳啊
Dance dance dance
跳啊 跳啊 跳啊
He never writes another line
他再未写下只言片语
His life becomes a valentine
他的生命化作情书一封
To auntie toothache and her fine
献给牙痛阿姨和她那
Degress of pain
精妙的痛楚等级
From lack of sleep he goes insane
失眠让他陷入疯狂
And fancies he's the king of france
幻想自己是法兰西君王
Beset by bees
被蜂群围困
Auntie toothache whispers dance
牙痛阿姨低语着"跳舞"
And so they dance dance dance dance
于是他们跳啊 跳啊 跳啊 跳啊
Dance dance dance
跳啊 跳啊 跳啊
And they dance dance dance dance
他们跳啊 跳啊 跳啊 跳啊
Dance dance dance
跳啊 跳啊 跳啊
