The Little Maiden of the Sea - Stephin Merritt
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The little maiden of the sea
海的女儿与我们不同
Was not at all like you and me
她并非你我这般的模样
Where we have legs she was a fish
我们生来有腿 她却是一条鱼
And she could only say:
她只能轻声诉说：
"I wish
"我多么渴望
I wish I were not incomplete
渴望不再残缺
I wish I had some dainty feet "
渴望拥有纤纤玉足"
You see one day she'd met a prince
那一天她遇见王子
And she'd been pining ever since
从此便魂牵梦萦
(the little maiden of the sea)
(海的女儿啊)
She'd gain her own immortal soul
若成为王子的新娘
If she became the prince's wife
便能获得永恒灵魂
She autovivisected
她甘愿承受剧痛
Whole she walked each step was like a knife
步步行走 如刀割般疼痛
A knife into her dainty feet
利刃刺入纤足之中
And she could neither speak nor sing
她既不能言语也无法歌唱
But surely now she was complete
但此刻她已臻完美
Her prince would think of marrying
王子会考虑迎娶
The little maiden of the sea
海的女儿与我们不同
He married someone else of course
他终究另娶他人
And saying nothing she went home
她沉默无言地归去
Then something turned by mystic force
神秘力量悄然流转
The little maiden into foam
将少女化作泡沫消散
