Hammer And A Nail (Album Version) - Indigo Girls

Clearing webs from the hovel
清扫栅舍的蛛网
A blistered hand on the handle of a shovel
饱经磨难的双手拿着铁铲
I've been digging too deep
我已经挖得太深
I always do
我总是这样
I see my face on the surface
在水面看见自己的脸
I look a lot like narcissus
我看起来很像一株水仙
A dark abyss of an emptiness
空虚的黑暗深渊
Standing on the edge of a drowning blue
站在将人淹溺的忧郁边缘
I look behind my ears for the green
我回头望向那片绿色
And even my sweat smells clean
即使我甜蜜的味道十分清新
Glare off the white hurts my eyes
耀眼的白光刺伤我的眼睛
I gotta get out of bed
我必须起床
Get a hammer and a nail
拿起锤子和钉子
Learn how to use my hands
学会使用双手
Not just my head
而不只是智慧
I think myself in a jail
我想我身在牢狱
Now I know a refuge never grows
现在我明白，庇护永不会
From a chin in a hand
来自手中的铁链
And a thoughtful pose
深思熟虑的姿势
Gotta tend the earth
必须要倾向大地
If you want a rose
如果你想要玫瑰
I had a lot of good intentions
我有很多善意
Sit around for fifty years
五十年来无所事事
And then collect a pension
等待领退休金
Started seeing the road to hell
开始看着通往地狱的道路
And just where it starts
正是在那里开始
But my life is more than a vision
但我的生活，不只是美景
The sweetest part is acting
最甜美的部分正在上演
After making a decision
在下定决心之后
Started seeing the whole
开始看见一切
As a sum of its parts
那是部分的总和
And I look behind my ears for the green
回头看着那片绿色
And even my sweat smells clean
即使我甜蜜的味道十分清新
Glare off the white hurts my eyes
耀眼的白光刺伤我的眼睛
Gotta get out of bed
必须起床
Get a hammer and a nail
拿起锤子和钉子
Learn how to use my hands
学会使用双手
Not just my head

Now I know a refuge never grows

From a chin in a hand

And a thoughtful pose

Gotta tend the earth

If you want a rose

My life is part of the global life
我的生活是全球生活的一部分
I'd found myself becoming more immobile
我发现自己的生活越来越稳定
When I'd think a little girl in the world
当我想着这世上的一个小女孩
Can't do anything
就什么也做不了
A distant nation my community
我的社区在遥远的国度
And a street person my responsibility
我的责任和街上的路人一样
If I have a care in the world
如果这世上有我所在意的人
I have a gift to bring
我会带来礼物
I look behind my ears for the green
我回头望向那片绿色
Even my sweat smells clean
我的味道甚是清新
