Medicinals - PJ Harvey

Medicinals - PJ Harvey

I was walking through the national mall
我曾经穿过人民广场
Thinking about medicinals how they used to grow there
心里思索着 曾经这是还是一片沼泽地时
When the ground was a marshland
他们是如何不受人们的干扰 将**种植在这里
Undisturbed by human hands and I heard their voices
我仿佛听到了它们的声音
Sumac said we're always here
苏氏**说 我们一直在这里
Witch hazel we're always here
***说 我们一直在这里
Sassafras we're always here
沙氏**说 我们一直在这里
Bluestem grasses always here
蓝根茎**说 我们一直在这里
I looked about and what I see
环顾四周我所看到的东西
Medicinals grow around me rising from the gravel
那些**的根茎 在沙砾的夹缝中存活
Sumac and the witch hazel
那些个眼花缭乱的**
Come to soothe our primal sores come to soothe our troubles
它们从根本上抚慰了我们的伤痛 减轻了我们的痛苦
Sumac said we're always here
苏氏**说 我们一直在这里
Witch hazel we're always here
***说 我们一直在这里
Sassafras we're always here
沙氏**说 我们一直在这里
Bluestem grass is always here
蓝根茎**说 我们一直在这里
But do you see that woman sitting in the wheelchair
你是否看到了那个 坐在轮椅上的妇女
With her redskins cap on backwards
她反戴着棒球帽
What's that she's singing
她一边唱着歌
As from inside a paper wrapper
一边卷着**
She sips from a bottle
她轻轻吸了一小口
A new painkiller
对于当地人来说
For the native people
那是一种新型止痛药
