The Priest - Joni Mitchell (琼尼·米契儿)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The priest sat in the airport bar
神父独坐机场酒吧
He was wearing his father's tie
系着父亲遗留的领带
And his eyes looked into my eyes so far
他深邃目光穿透我眼底
Whenever the words ran dry
每当言语变得苍白
Behind the lash and the circles blue
透过泛青的眼睑与倦容
He looked as only a priest can thru
唯有神父能这般凝视
And his eyes said me and his eyes said you
他眼中映出你我身影
And my eyes said let us try
而我眼中写着 不如一试
He said "You wouldn't like it here
他说 "你不会喜欢这里
No it's no place you should share
这不是你该来的地方
The roof is ripped with hurricanes
飓风撕裂了屋顶
And the room is always bare
房间永远空荡凄凉
I need the wind and I seek the cold"
我渴望寒风刺骨
He reached post the wine for my hand to hold
他递来红酒让我握住
And he saw me young and he saw me old
他看透我年少模样 也看尽我沧桑
And he saw me sitting there
他就这样凝视着我的彷徨
Then he took his contradictions out
他将矛盾尽数倾泻
And he splashed them on my brow
泼洒在我的眉间
So which words was I then to doubt
我该质疑哪些箴言
When choosing what to vow
当选择誓言之时
Should I choose them all-should I make them mine
是否全盘接受 据为己有
The sermons the hymns and the valentines
那些布道 圣歌与情诗
And he asked for truth and he asked for time
他索求真谛 他索求光阴
And he asked for only now
他只索求当下此刻
Now the trials are trumpet scored
此刻审判号角已奏响
Oh will we pass the test
我们能否通过这考验
Or just as one loves more and more
是随着爱意愈加深沉
Will one love less and less
还是渐渐消逝殆尽
Oh come let's run from this ring we're in
来吧 逃离这困住我们的牢笼
Where the Christians clap and the Germans grin
基督徒鼓掌 德国人假笑的地方
Saying let them lose crying let them win
有人喊着让他们输 又哭求让他们赢
Oh make them both confess
不如让双方都坦白真相
