The Hole in the Map - Lorraine Feather

The Hole in the Map - Lorraine Feather
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Slightly below the Equator
赤道以南不远处
Beneath a scalding sun
烈日炙烤之下
Waits a counterfeit paradise
暗藏虚假天堂
And sure oblivion
与必然的遗忘
Or so they told our hero
人们如此告诫
In 1925
1925年的英雄
As he went back to the river
当他重返那条
That ate so many alive
吞噬生灵的河
It starts as a trickle in the clouds and snow
它始于云雪间的一线细流
With more than an America still to go
前方还有比美洲更辽阔的征途
Steamrollers into the sea
奔腾着涌入大海的怀抱
Wide as New York City
河面宽阔如纽约城郭
Passable only in the worst of the heat
唯有酷暑时节方可通航
In the winter it rises 40 feet
隆冬水位会暴涨四十英尺
The green hell is a heady trap
这片绿色地狱是醉人的陷阱
So dont fall down
切记小心坠落
The hole in the map
地图上的空白之地
Youd bet such a forest would feed you
你以为这片森林会哺育你
You would lose that bet
但你会输掉这个赌注
You thought you learned about fortitude
你以为在军校学员时期
As a gentleman cadet
就已学会坚韧不拔
The painful pranks the floggings
那些痛苦的恶作剧与鞭刑
Were bliss compared to this
相比这里简直是天堂
As you hack through the lianas
当你劈开藤蔓前行
Where hanging boas hiss
蟒蛇盘踞吐信处
There are bugs thatll kill you with a single bite
毒虫噬咬可致命
Turn your cotton britches to threads in a night
棉布裤衩一夜蚀成缕
Homicidal gnats no bigger than seeds
杀人蠓虫细如芥
Cynanide-squirting millipedes
氰酸千足喷毒液
Still you know you love it and you wont be swayed
纵使惊惧终不悔
Though you never are fully unafraid
战栗如影总相随
Hits your heart like a thunderclap
惊雷炸响震心扉
So dont fall down
切记小心坠落
The hole in the map
地图上的空白之地
Back in the comfort of Devon
回到德文郡的安逸时光
You sweeten your tea and sigh
你轻啜甜茶 叹息悠长
Free now to sleep till eleven
如今可安睡至日上三竿
And watch the old world go by
静观旧世界缓缓流转
You smile at your civilized heaven
你对着文明天堂浅笑
And say that at last youll stay
说着这次终将停留
But close by the gates
但就在门扉之畔
The Amazon waits
亚马逊正静静守候
To quietly drag you away
要将你无声拖入深渊
Drag you away
拖入无底深渊
Back to the river
重返那条长河
Its passable only in the worst of the heat
唯有酷暑时节方可涉足
In the winter it rises 40 feet
隆冬水位会暴涨四十英尺
The green hell is a heady trap
这片绿色地狱是醉人的陷阱
Dont fall
当心脚下
There are bugs thatll kill you with a single bite
毒虫噬咬可致命
Turn your cotton britches to threads in a night
棉布裤衩一夜蚀成缕
Homicidal gnats no bigger than seeds
杀人蠓虫细如芥
Cynanide-squirting millipedes
氰酸千足喷毒液
