Written by：Isobel campbell

It happened in the summer not so very long ago
故事发生在不久前的那个夏天
It was so warm and humid
空气闷热又潮湿
Elsie would go down to the old wood
艾尔西总会走进那片古老森林
And pray for the wind to come
祈求风儿降临
She had a friend who swore you could evoke the angels simply by prayer
她有个朋友说 只要虔诚祈祷就能召唤天使
She said there are angels for every desire but you must believe you have to believe
她说每个愿望都有专属天使 但你必须坚信 必须深信不疑
So by the time the sun was buried along with the stale air
当夕阳带着浊气沉入地平线时
A plan had formed very clearly in her mind
她心中已勾勒出清晰的计划
She was a lonely girl of around twenty or so
她是个二十出头的孤独姑娘
And as she knelt down to pray in the old wood under the town
当她在小镇古木下跪地祈祷时
Her heart would beg and plead
她的心在苦苦哀求
I desire a partner in crime
我渴望一个共犯
I've grown tired of endless crying
我已厌倦无休止的哭泣
I desire a partner in crime
我渴望一个共犯
I've grown tired of endless crying
我已厌倦无休止的哭泣
Crying for nothing
为虚无而哭泣
And the roses hung their weary heads
玫瑰低垂着疲惫的花冠
Like people do when they are heavy and without hope
如同负重前行 失去希望的人们
The seasons passed
四季更迭流转
January February under the trees
一月二月 树影婆娑
And there were tulips amongst the firs
冷杉丛中点缀着郁金香
Elsie was twenty three twenty four twenty five
艾尔西二十三 二十四 二十五岁
And the underpass was dark and dense
地下通道幽暗深邃
With light at the seams
唯有缝隙透出微光
Where the trees were broken and the branches were reaching out
树木折断处 枝桠仍倔强伸展
For they had witnessed her prayers
它们见证过她的祈祷
And there was promise in the wind
风中藏着承诺
A promise of better things
关于美好未来的承诺
I desire a partner in crime
我渴望一个共犯
I desire a partner in crime
我渴望一个共犯
I've grown tired of endless crying
我已厌倦无休止的哭泣
Crying for nothing
为虚无而哭泣
The years flowed on and on
岁月如流 绵延不绝
Like the wine that celebrated marriages
如同庆贺婚宴的美酒
Of friends and sisters
见证亲友的欢愉
Elsie began to think that even if her wish materialized
艾尔西开始明白 即便愿望成真
She could not sacrifice a life that was so familiar lonely
她也无法舍弃这习以为常的孤寂人生
Sad with an almost religious quality
那悲伤近乎神圣
She remembered times spent in the old wood deep in prayer
她忆起在老林深处虔诚祈祷的时光
Aching begging
痛苦地祈求着
Thinking her heart might burst
心仿佛要碎裂
Her friend had moved away unannounced
挚友不告而别
She'd disappeared
她消失无踪
There was no belief
信念已崩塌
And longer and longer there was less to give
时光流逝 愈发无力付出
Less love to give
爱意日渐枯竭
Of course there'd been lovers
虽曾有过恋人
But nothing close to what she'd hoped for
但与她所期盼的相去甚远
Before she'd felt electricity swelling in her palms
曾几何时 她掌心跃动着电流般的希望
But not now
如今却荡然无存
Limp and hopeless life continued
生命在颓靡与绝望中延续
But it wasn't really living
这不过是一具行尸走肉
All she'd ever dreamed wished and yearned for
所有她梦寐以求的渴望
Had been stolen and shot down
皆被掠夺 被击碎成灰
And eternity was calling
永恒在低声呼唤
Calling for nothing
却只为虚无而呼唤
