History Book(Live) - Dry the River

Artist：dry the river

Songs Title：history book

Like faithful oxen through the chalk
就像忠贞不渝的公牛穿过粉笔
With dragging tails of history walk
拖着历史的尾巴
Soon confuse the compass and the cross
很快就会混淆指南针和十字架
Carefully and cursively we fill our travelling diaries with loss
我们小心翼翼地在旅行日记里写下我们的损失
Beneath an angry Bible flood
在愤怒的《圣经》洪水之下
Did you and I first learn to love
你和我是不是第一次学会爱
In my father's car we came to know
在我父亲的车里我们渐渐明白
And shivered in our painted clothes and paired like every animal below
我们穿着彩绘衣服瑟瑟发抖就像下面的动物一样成双成对
As heavy as a history book can be
就像历史书一样沉重
I will carry it with me oh Lord
我会随身携带上帝啊
And maybe when the bitterness has gone
也许当痛苦烟消云散
There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more
我们会再次感受到甜蜜的滋味
Barefoot in a rowing boat
光着脚划着赛艇
You lose your shoes and freeze your toes
你脱掉鞋子冻住脚趾
And say I wear my sorrow like a crown
说我把悲伤当做王冠戴在身上
And throw your arms around my head and see it there in gold and red and brown
你的双臂环抱着我的头我看见金色、红色和棕色的头发
As heavy as a history book can be
就像历史书一样沉重
I will carry it with me oh Lord
我会随身携带上帝啊
And maybe when the bitterness has gone
也许当痛苦烟消云散
There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more
我们会再次感受到甜蜜的滋味
We'll soon forget our parents' names
我们很快就会忘记父母的名字
Like dogs will drive the wolves away
就像恶狗可以赶走恶狼
And weep with fingertips opposed
泪流成河指尖与我作对
Like a church where nobody congregates
就像没有人聚集的教堂
But sweetness sings in the pasture
但是甜美的歌声在牧场响起
We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth
我们祈求大地的怜悯
If sand and salt have the answer
如果沙子和盐能找到答案
Then the act itself will be louder than the word
行动本身会比话语更响亮
And I'll be on your side And I'll be on your side And I'll be on your side
我会陪在你身边我会伴你左右
