My Old Addiction - k.d. lang

My old addiction
我的旧瘾
Changed the wiring in my brain
改变了我大脑的线路
So that when it turns the switches
当它拨动开关时
Then I am not the same
我便不再是从前的我
So like the flowers toward the Sun
就像向日葵朝向太阳
I will follow
我将追随
Stretch myself out thin
将自己拉伸得如此之薄
Like there's a part of me that's already buried
仿佛我的一部分早已被埋葬
That sends me out into this window
它让我走向这扇窗
My old addiction
我的旧瘾
Is a flood upon the land
如同洪水般席卷大地
This tiny lifeboat
这小小的救生艇
Can keep me dry
能让我保持干燥
But my weight is all
但它的承载
That it can stand
仅能支撑我的重量
So when I try to lean just a little
所以当我试图稍稍倾斜
For just a splash to cool my face
只为那一抹清凉拂面
Ahh that trickle
啊，那涓涓细流
Turns out fickle
却变得如此善变
Fills my boat up
将我的小船填满
Five miles deep
深达五英里
My old addiction
我的旧瘾
Makes me crave only what is best
让我只渴望最好的事物
Like these just this morning song birds
就像今晨的鸟儿
Craving upward from the nest
从巢中向上渴望飞翔
These tiny birds outside my window
窗外那些小小的鸟儿
Take my hand to be their mom
牵着我的手 视我为母亲
These open mouths
它们张开的嘴
Would trust and swallow
信任并吞下
Anything that came along
任何来到面前的东西
Like my old addiction
就像我曾经的瘾
Now the other side of Day
如今已是白昼的另一面
As the springtime
如同生命中的春天
Of my life's time
我生命中的时光
Turn's the other way
却转向了另一面
If a swan can have a song
如果天鹅也有歌声
I think I know that tune
我想我懂得那旋律
But the page is only scrawled
但纸上只有潦草的字迹
And I am gone this afternoon
而我已在这个午后离去
But the page is only scrawled
但纸上只有潦草的字迹
And I am gone this afternoon
而我已在这个午后离去
