Can’t Weld a Body - Karine Polwart

Can't Weld a Body - Karine Polwart
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
You crafted and caressed her with a careful hand
你用温柔双手精心雕琢她每一寸
But the lady didn't understand
可那位女士始终不懂你的心
And you riveted and plated her till morning
铆钉与钢板在晨光中交织成茧
But with a coil or a careless spark
但或许是一圈松脱的缆绳
Or a tumble in the dark
或暗夜里失足踉跄
Shell leave her mark upon you without warning
她总猝不及防在你身上刻下伤痕
You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean
钢铁巨舰能征服汪洋万里
You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil
螺母螺栓与汗水可修补船身裂隙
But you can't weld a body when it's broken no
但破碎的身躯 无法用焊枪修复
While the lady she's as fair as Desdemona
那位女士美若苔丝狄蒙娜
She swallowed you up just like Jonah
却像鲸鱼吞没约拿般将你吞噬
And there the air inside her belly ailed you
她腹中的空气让你窒息难耐
And no-one saw you fall
无人目睹你坠落
And they did not hear your call
也无人听见你呼救
And your breath it faltered just before it failed you
你的呼吸在停止前就已微弱
You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean
钢铁巨舰能征服汪洋万里
You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil
螺母螺栓与汗水可修补船身裂隙
But you can't weld a body when it's broken no
但破碎的身躯 无法用焊枪修复
On a cruiser that was fitted by your father
在父亲装配的巡洋舰上
You anchored in San Carlos harbour
你停泊在圣卡洛斯港湾
But the lady at the helm she was not for turning
但掌舵的女士固执如铁
And in your bell bottoms blue
穿着海军蓝喇叭裤
In April 82
在82年4月
You bid adieu and watched all you knew burning
你诀别故土 目睹一切焚为灰烬
You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean
钢铁巨舰能征服汪洋万里
You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil
螺母螺栓与汗水可修补船身裂隙
But you can't weld a body when it's broken
但破碎的身躯却再难焊接完整
You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean
钢铁巨舰能征服汪洋万里
You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil
螺母螺栓与汗水可修补船身裂隙
But you can't weld a body when it's broke no no
但破碎的身躯啊 永远无法弥合
