After the Fall - Elvis Costello

Written by：Elvis Costello

In an anonymous rendezvous
在一场隐秘的幽会中
Where the forbidden lovers repair
禁忌恋人再次相聚
They're burning down another damn candle
他们点燃又一支蜡烛
They're melting the tables and chairs
让桌椅都为之融化
Beneath them applause from the balcony
阳台传来阵阵掌声
Whenever they accomplished making love
每当他们缠绵过后
Other times they thought they heard laughter
有时又仿佛听见笑声
Coming from the balcony above
从上方阳台飘落
She lies to his right and she carelessly recites
她慵懒倚靠在他右侧 漫不经心地呢喃
All of her brand new appetites
诉说着她所有崭新的欲望
She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all
她显得脆弱娇小 声音陌生得不像她
Since she came back to him after the fall
自那次坠落重回他身旁后
She said you never visit the countryside
她说你从不涉足乡野
So I've made you a country to order
于是我为你定制了整个田园
She put up a little tent in the bedroom
她在卧室搭起小小的帐篷
Crickets played on a tape recorder
磁带里蟋蟀声轻轻播放
The ceiling was festooned with Phosphorous stars
天花板上缀满磷光星辰
She noticed his skin turning cold
她察觉他的肌肤渐失温度
Burning all his clothes on the bonfire
将他的衣衫尽数焚于篝火
Relax she whispered and tightened the blindfold
"放松些"她低语 系紧遮眼布带
She lies to his right and she carelessly recites
她慵懒倚靠在他右侧 漫不经心地呢喃
All of her brand new appetites
诉说着她所有崭新的欲望
She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all
她显得脆弱娇小 声音陌生得不像她
Since she came back to him after the fall
自那次坠落重回他身旁后
You've changed but not for the better babe
你变了 却并非变得更好
I'd tell you why but what's the use
我想解释缘由 却又何必徒劳
'Cos it's the same kind of pity
这不过是醉汉般的怜悯
A drunkard gives as his excuse
如同酒鬼惯用的借口
You were sharp and ideal as a Bobby Pin
你曾如发夹般锐利完美
Now your eyes are deserted and quiet
如今双眼却荒芜沉寂
We both look like those poor shattered mannequins
我们如同橱窗里破碎的模特人偶
Thrown through the window in the riot
在骚乱中被抛掷出窗外
She lies in his arms and without any qualms
她依偎在他臂弯里毫无顾忌
Revels in shallow delights
沉溺于肤浅的欢愉
She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all
她显得脆弱娇小 声音陌生得不像她
Since she came back to him after the fall
自那次坠落重回他身旁后
