Alberta Breeze - Justin Rutledge

All my city is dressed in skin
我的城市披着层皮
Her lips are dark
她的嘴唇发黑
Her ankles thin
脚踝瘦骨嶙峋
Oh my dizzy ballerina won't you give us a spin
眩晕的芭蕾舞演员 你不给我们表演旋转
My country's cold in autumn's chains
我的国家秋天很冷
Every time I think of her it rains
每当我想起她便下雨
When she breathes upon the morning
她令晨光失色
She shakes all the weather vanes
美得令风向标也停止转动
Now I try to keep a steady hand
现在我试着保持平衡
Because I'm living in a shaky land
因为我生活的地方摇摇欲坠
Lord I try to be an honest man
上帝 我尽量做个诚实的人
But it's tougher than I ever planned
但这比我计划的更难
In the westbound air tonight are those centuries
世纪连绵在今夜西行的空气中
My tongue-tied beheaded bride
我张口结舌 身首异处的新娘啊
The Alberta breeze
阿尔伯塔的微风
Oh David drive like you've never done
大卫开着车 好像从没开过
Oh Sarah sing like you've never sung
莎拉唱着歌 好像从未唱过
Oh my dizzy ballerina spin like you've never spun
眩晕的芭蕾舞演员 你不给我们表演旋转
Now I'm sending you a telegram
现在我给你发份电报
About my days in the caravan
关于我的大篷车生活
With the steers and the bleating lambs
载着成群的牛羊
Took the money and away I ran
带着钱跑路
I recall how the dress you wore rose above your knees
我想起你的裙子 高过膝盖
As the thrush flew from the mouth of the Alberta breeze
当画眉随阿尔伯塔的微风飞过
The summer's turned it's back on me with a sorrow-laden symmetry
夏天满载着悲伤又来到我身边
With a highway kind of robbery
高速公路上的抢劫案
Like my life was an apology
就像我抱歉的生活
Now I don't think about you all the time
现在我不再一直想你
Only when the trees sway somehow
只有当树木轻轻摇曳
Slaughtered by the Alberta breeze
阿尔伯塔微风吹过
