Butterfly - Luke Ritchie

Butterfly - Luke Ritchie
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I caught it with both hands
我双手轻轻捧住
My little butterfly
我的小蝴蝶
I took it on a whim
一时兴起带它回家
It took me by surprise
却让我猝不及防
To find it on my path
在这上班的沉闷路上
My sullen march to work
竟与它不期而遇
I cupped it in my grasp
我将它拢在掌心
Like a flame so thin
如捧着一簇摇曳的烛火
A flame that never burns
永不熄灭的火焰
I held it to my chest
我将它紧贴心口
And smuggled it back home
偷偷带回家中
It shivered at my palms
它在我掌心颤抖
The thought of what awaits
想到即将面临的命运
A sample on a board
成为标本板上的一隅
A piercing through the chest
胸口被钢针贯穿
A steady hand to prise
需要稳定的手来剥离
Arms out wide and then firmly pinned
双臂展开 却被牢牢钉住
Pressed to the wood all waxed and stiff
紧贴木板 僵硬如蜡
Sometimes I fear I can't handle this
有时我害怕无法承受
The pace and the scale of remorselessness
这无情节奏与规模
Even the kids here would tear its wings
连孩童都会撕扯它的翅膀
Rip out her colours all paper thin
剥落她薄如纸的色彩
These are the things you can't shrink from this
这些都是你无法逃避的事
Weep for the stalk of a fallen leaf
为凋零的落叶枝桠而哀伤
Take what I can and then leave the rest
取我所能 余者皆弃
Keep it safe in one gripped fist
紧握掌心 护其周全
I let her in my home
我邀她入我屋檐
I let her find her way
任她自在徜徉
It's here that we'll forget
在此我们将遗忘
Only for today
仅限今日时光
Just within these walls
只在这方寸围墙
She'll never see it all
她永远无法看尽这世界
She's fading in my arms
她在我怀中渐渐消逝
With a breath so faint
呼吸如此微弱
A voice that never spoke
从未开口的声音
Sometimes I fear I can't handle this
有时我害怕无法承受
The pace and the scale of remorselessness
这无情节奏与规模
Even the kids here would tear its wings
连孩童都会撕扯它的翅膀
Rip out her colours all paper thin
剥落她薄如纸的色彩
These are the things you can't shrink from this
这些都是你无法逃避的事
Weep for the stalk of a fallen leaf
为凋零的落叶枝桠而哀伤
Take what I can and then leave the rest
取我所能 余者皆弃
Keep it safe in one gripped fist
紧握掌心 护其周全
One gripped fist
紧紧攥在掌心
