Magdalene Laundries - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I was an unmarried girl
我是个未婚的姑娘
I'd just turned twenty-seven
刚满二十七岁芳华
When they sent me to the sisters
他们就把我送进修道院
For the way men looked at me
只因男人看我的目光
Branded as a jezebel
被烙上放荡的污名
I knew I was not bound for Heaven
自知与天堂无缘
I'd be cast in shame
终将背负着耻辱
Into the Magdalene laundries
坠入马格达琳洗衣房
Most girls come here pregnant
多数姑娘来时已身怀六甲
Some by their own fathers
有些竟是被亲生父亲糟蹋
Bridget got that belly
布丽姬特隆起的腹部
By her parish priest
是教区神父造的孽啊
We're trying to get things white as snow
我们拼命漂洗想换来雪白无瑕
All of us woe-begotten daughters
这群被命运诅咒的苦命花
In the streaming stains
在永不停歇的污渍里挣扎
Of the Magdalene laundries
马格达琳洗衣房就是我们的家
Prostitutes and destitutes
妓女与贫女
And temptresses like me--
还有我这般诱人堕落的妖姬——
Fallen women--
失足女子们——
Sentenced into dreamless drudgery
被判在这无梦的苦役中赎罪
Why do they call this heartless place
为何将这冷酷之地唤作
Our Lady of Charity
"慈悲圣母院"
Oh charity
呵 何等慈悲
These bloodless brides of Jesus
这些耶稣苍白的新娘们
If they had just once glimpsed their groom
若他们曾见过那位新郎一眼
Then they'd know and they'd drop the stones
便会明白 放下手中石块
Concealed behind their rosaries
躲在玫瑰念珠后的伪善
They wilt the grass they walk upon
他们踏过的青草都枯萎
They leech the light out of a room
他们吸尽房间所有光亮
They'd like to drive us down the drain
妄图将我们逼入绝境
At the Magdalene laundries
在这马格达琳洗衣房
Peg O'Connell died today
佩格·奥康奈尔今日逝去
She was a cheeky girl
她曾是个活泼的姑娘
A flirt
爱笑爱闹
They just stuffed her in a hole
却被囚禁在暗无天日的地牢
Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring
天理何在 竟连丧钟都不愿为她敲响
One day I'm going to die here too
终有一日我也将在此长眠
And they'll plant me in the dirt
被草草掩埋
Like some lame bulb
像颗腐烂的种子
That never blooms come any spring
永无绽放之日的春天
Oh come any spring
啊 盼不到任何春天
No not any spring
不 再没有春天
Not any spring
永远没有春天
