以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by：Elvis Costello

She stood spotlit in a plain print dress
她伫立在聚光灯下 身着素净印花裙
Came howling out of the wilderness
如野兽般从荒野中嘶吼而来
There beat a cunning and murderous heart
那颗狡黠而凶残的心脏
Beneath that calm exterior
在平静外表下跳动
You know my name
你知晓我的姓名
You don't know my mind
却读不懂我的灵魂
Don't doubt my eyes
莫要质疑我的眼神
They betray the past
它们早已出卖过往
And I've already forgotten
而我早已遗忘
Much more than you will ever know
远比你想象的更多
Every word that I have spoken is true
我曾说过的每句话都真实
Except for one that were broken in two
除了一句被撕成两半的谎言
Trying to make peace after a long night of pretend
在漫长的伪装后试图和解
Need a pawnbroker or moneylender
需要一个当铺或放债人
Why do you do me down mister
先生 为何你要贬低我
Sing hallelujah sister
高唱哈利路亚 姐妹
Turn up the volume just to turn it down
调高音量又将它熄灭
The trivial secrets buried with profound
浅薄的秘密与深邃同葬
It's enough to put a church underground
足够让教堂沉入地底
It's enough to put a church underground
足够让教堂沉入地底
Deflowered young and then ever since
年少时被采撷 此后经年
She's tried to wash off his fingerprints
她试图洗去他留下的印记
So every charlatan and prince
于是每个骗子与王子
Was made to feel inferior
生来就被轻贱相待
She worked for tips in a 10 cent dance
在廉价舞厅卖笑谋生
Said moving pictures might pay perchance
她说或许电影能带来转机
10000 one way tickets to the sparkling coast
万张单程票通往浮华海岸
From the blank interior
逃离这荒芜的内陆
Everybody's either talking in code
人人都在打哑谜
Or getting ready to explode
或即将爆发
And she was singing with five piece band
她与五人乐队纵情歌唱
Seems that no one really wants this sound
却无人真正欣赏这乐章
Why do you do me down mister
先生 为何你要贬低我
Sing hallelujah sister
高唱哈利路亚 姐妹
Turn up the volume just to turn it down
调高音量又将它熄灭
The trivial secrets buried with profound
浅薄的秘密与深邃同葬
It's enough to put a church underground
足够让教堂沉入地底
It's enough to put a church underground
足够让教堂沉入地底
The shaft of fanlight streaked with rain
雨痕斜映扇形窗棂
Poured through the glass punched through the pain
玻璃透光刺穿苦痛印记
A holy picture hidden in the midden of that poisoned stitch
圣像残片深埋毒绣的秽堆里
Her lonely voice was just a ruin in these riches
她孤寂歌声湮没于满目疮痍
She must have been dreaming this all along
这定是她魂牵梦萦的幻境
Could she be redeeming herself in song
能否借歌声将灵魂救赎洗净
I'm no one's martyred plaster saint
我非殉道者石膏圣像
Below the grease beneath the paint
油彩之下尽是斑驳沧桑
I'm rolling like barrel
我如酒桶般翻滚跌宕
Swinging like a gallows
似绞架般摇晃飘荡
I'm rising up fast like all hell and all hallows
我如地狱圣徒急速升腾
Why do you do me down mister
先生 为何你要贬低我
Sing hallelujah sister
高唱哈利路亚 姐妹
I'll be damned or purgatory bound
我注定堕入炼狱深渊
Before those jokers ever understand
在愚人顿悟之前
It's enough to put a church underground
足够让教堂沉入地底
It's enough to put a church underground
足够让教堂沉入地底
It's enough to put a church underground
足够让教堂沉入地底
