Edith Wharton’s Figurines(Acoustic Version) - Suzanne Vega

Edith wharton's lovely figurines
伊迪丝，华顿可爱的小雕像
Still speak to me today
今天和我说话了
From their mantlepiece in time
在壁炉架上
Where they wrestle and they play
他们扭打着，嬉戏着
With passions and with prudences
如此激情，如此谨慎
Finances and fears
资金和恐惧
Her face and what it's worth to her
她的容颜和对于她的价值
In the passing of the years
时光荏苒
See the portrait come to life
看到雕像如此生动逼真
See the vanity behind
看到了背后的虚荣
Cause in the struggle for survival
因此为生存挣扎时
Love is never blind
爱从未盲目
Now olivia lies under anasthesia
如今，奥利维亚麻木地躺下
Her wit and wonder snuffed
她的智慧和不解的疑惑
In a routine operation
在常规操作中
Her own beauty not enough
她的美并不足够
Her passions and her prudences
她的激情和谨慎
Finances and fears
资金和恐惧
Her face what it was worth to her
她的容颜和对于她的价值
In the passing of the years
时光荏苒
See the portrait come to life
看到雕像如此生动逼真
See the vanity behind
看到了背后的虚荣
Cause in the struggle for survival
因此为生存挣扎时
Love is never blind
