Lay My Burden Down

Album: Paper Airplane (2011)
Songwriter: Aoife O'Donovan

放下我的负担
Gonna lay my burden down
只管让我躺下
Lay my body in the ground
触着冰冷的泥土
Cold clay against my skin
我却毫不在意
But I don't care at all
找不到我的心

就让我与土地融为一体
Can't seem to find my piece of mind
地下六英尺
So with the earth I'll lay entwined
我的双脚温暖干燥
Six feet underground
当我去了另一边
My feet are warm and dry
我会把你的画像高高挂起

但我不会回到你身边
When I get to the other side
因为你离我太远
I'll put your picture way up high
倘若我被弃于海面之上
But I'm not coming back to you
你会前来看望我吗
It's just too far
或是任我沉入海底

在碧蓝的微波之下
If I was cast out on the sea
如果我学会飞翔那会怎样
Would you come and look for me
飞过昼夜轮回
Or would you just let me sink
栖于树枝之上
Beneath the waves so blue
在人群中寻找你的身影

当我回到地面
What if I had learned to fly
我会亲吻你，伴你左右
Fly all night till day drew nigh
但你知道我不属于这里
Touch down upon a branch and
我属于远方
Scan the crowd for you
亲爱的，你不能听见我的哭泣

我粉身碎骨
When I touch my feet on the land
我讷讷不能言
I'll kiss your lips and take you in
明月左右浮动
But you know I'm not here to stay
倚着深蓝色的天空
It's just too far
是我眼中所见

我的身体不停颤抖
Darling can't you hear me cry
无人怜悯
My bones are broke
逃离躲避
My tongue is tied
我沉睡时天籁响起
The moon is swaying back and forth
但我没有听见
Against the navy sky
我闭上双眼
Is all that I can see
梦见佳日几度
My body is trembling on my knees
当我醒来，喇叭响起
Just have a little mercy on me
我站在大门口
Run away and hide
倒下，却喜悦着

我刚刚赢了赛跑
When I sleep the angels sing
我年轻时母亲说
But I cannot hear a thing
生活实苦，但一切都会好的
Eyes closed
如果你能熬过艰辛
Dreaming of the better days gone by
那一天不会太远

近在眼前
When I wake the trumpets play
And I'm standing at the gates
Fall down the joy I know
My race has just been won

When I was young my mom would say
Well life is hard, but that's OK
If you can make it through the day
It's not that far
No, it's not that far
