Written by：Janis Ian

Billie's tears fall like dust
比莉的泪如尘飘落
From the air into my eyes
自天际坠入我眼眸
Seeping in before they rust
在锈蚀前渗入心底
Spilling secrets words can't hide
倾泻言语难掩的秘密
I am standing on the bones
我立于森森白骨之上
Of a mound too high to climb
那高耸难攀的坟丘
Selling secrets to atone
贩卖秘密以求救赎
For a song that is not mine
为那不属于我的歌谣
Billie's bones are white and bleached
比莉的骸骨苍白如雪
Piled high and hard to reach
高耸堆积 难以触及
And the top looks cold and bleak
顶端荒芜 寒意凛冽
But I see farther when I stand
但当我伫立其上眺望
On Billie's bones in Billie's land
在比莉骸骨构筑的疆域
There's an orchid in her hair
她发间别着幽兰
There are bruises on her lips
唇上残留淤痕
I would worship if I dared
若敢僭越 我愿虔诚膜拜
Kneeling at her fingertips
跪伏在她的指尖前
I would tell her how I've yearned
我想诉说我的渴望
To be worthy of the grail
为圣杯而配的虔诚
All these years and all I've learned
多年辗转所得领悟
Is just how brilliantly I fail
不过璀璨败绩昭彰
Billie's bones are white and bleached
比莉的骸骨苍白如雪
Piled high and hard to reach
高耸堆积 难以触及
And the top looks cold and bleak
顶端荒芜 寒意凛冽
But I see farther when I stand
但当我伫立其上眺望
On Billie's bones in Billie's land
在比莉骸骨构筑的疆域
Now the flesh of earth has passed
如今大地的血肉已消亡
Now the joints have come undone
关节散落 支离破碎
All that's left of her is ash
她仅存的灰烬飘荡
Scattered on the air like crumbs
如面包屑散落四方
There are voices on the wind
风中传来阵阵回响
Stolen whispers sacred moans
窃窃私语 神圣的呻吟回荡
You can hear them through your skin
你能透过肌肤听见它们的低语
And the singing of the bones
那是白骨在风中吟唱的旋律
When the wind blows from the east
当东风拂过荒原时
I can taste her on my tongue
我舌尖仍能尝到她消散的气息
And the grave is lined and paved with
而那座坟墓用遗憾铺就
All the songs we never sung
砌满我们从未唱出的歌
