Favourite Hour - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by：Elvis Costello

Figure hanging on a leather band
皮带上悬挂的人影
Cog consults the watch he cups in his hand
齿轮轻抚掌中的怀表
Bejewelled movement
镶满宝石的机芯
Measures lost and vanished time
计量着消逝的时光
Pray for the boy who makes his bed in cold
为蜷缩在寒土与石灰中的少年祈祷
Earth and quicklime
大地与生石灰
So stay the hands arrest the time
请让指针停驻 将时间凝固
Till I am captured by your touch
直到沦陷于你的触碰
Blessings I don't count
未及细数的恩典
Small mercies and such
微小慈悲的馈赠
The flags may lower
旗帜或将低垂
As we approach the favourite hour
当我们临近那钟爱的时刻
Now theres a tragic waste of brutal youth
此刻是青春被残酷挥霍
Strip and polish this unvarnished truth
打磨这赤裸真相的棱角
The tricky door that gapes beneath the ragged noose
绞索下虚掩的诡谲门扉
The crippled verdict
残缺的审判终局
Begs again for the lamest excuse
再次乞求最蹩脚的借口
So stay the hands arrest the time
请让指针停驻 将时间凝固
Till I am captured by your touch
直到沦陷于你的触碰
Blessings I don't count
未及细数的恩典
Small mercies and such
微小慈悲的馈赠
The flags may lower
旗帜或将低垂
As we approach the favourite hour
当我们临近那钟爱的时刻
Pull out my eyes so I may never spy
剜去双眼 永不再窥见
Waving branches as they're waving goodbye
摇曳的枝桠仿佛在挥手告别
Their vile perfume brings to my mouth a bitter taste
它们腐朽的芬芳在我唇边留下苦涩
The murmuring brooks had best speak up
潺潺溪流最好大声倾诉
It's a terrible waste
这真是可悲的浪费
So stay the hands arrest the time
请让指针停驻 将时间凝固
Till I am captured by your touch
直到沦陷于你的触碰
Blessings I don't count
未及细数的恩典
Small mercies and such
微小慈悲的馈赠
The flags may lower
旗帜或将低垂
As we approach the favourite I
当我们接近最爱的那个我
