Antebellum

Vienna Teng - Antebellum
史逸欣—硝烟未起时

秋天，我们在落英缤纷中追逐嬉闹

细语着彼此的小秘密

我们微笑着，心照不宣
In the fall, we circle through the leaves
时光总是很快就溜走了
and talk about the little ones.
一盏接一盏的华灯初上
And we smile, but never say too much.
我们的十月生活啊，不知不觉临近结束
The moment always vanishing.
我知道我们之间的界限
One by one the neighbors' lights come on.
使战争停止
Our October day is almost gone.
使伤者安全

我知道我们硝烟未起时的天真
I know the border lines we drew between us
永远也不会让我们看到停战之日的曙光
keep the weapons down,
春天，我们一起登上连绵的山峦
keep the wounded safe;
攀谈着我们稚嫩的梦想
I know our antebellum innocence
我们微笑着，脸庞如同是澄澈的镜子
was never meant to see the light of our armistice day.
照出彼此的另一面

然而争吵毫无征兆地来了
In the spring, we climbed the rolling hills
刺耳的言语划破长夜
and talked about our budding plans.
我怎么就不能成为你想要的样子呢？
And we smiled, our faces like a mirror
我怎么可以让你伤痕累累呢？
showing us our secret sides.
我知道我们之间的界限

使战争停止
But then the fights:
使伤者安全
the sharp words splintering the night,
我知道我们硝烟未起时的天真
how I couldn't be what you'd need?
永远也不会让我们看到停战之日的曙光
But oh how I could make you bleed?
但是我要付出多少才能重新拥有你？

如今这样究竟让我们失去多少？
I know the border lines we drew between us
你会回来的，我就在这儿等你
keep the weapons down,
四季轮回，一年又一年
keep the wounded safe;
我就在这儿等你，你会回来的
I know our antebellum innocence
即便看客只有来来往往的陌生人
was never meant to see the light of our armistice.
你会回来的，我就在这儿等你
But how much would I give to have it back again?
四季轮回，一年又一年
How much did we lose to live this way?
我就在这儿等你，你会回来的

即便看客只有来来往往的陌生人
You'll go home, I'll stay here,
我知道我们之间的界限
seasons keep on marching...
使战争停止
I'll stay here, you'll go home,
使伤者安全
with only strangers watching...
我知道我们硝烟未起时的天真

永远也不会让我们看到停战之日的曙光
You'll go home, I'll stay here,
seasons keep on marching...
I'll stay here, you'll go home,
with only strangers watching...

I know the border lines we drew between us
keep the weapons down,
keep the wounded safe;
I know our antebellum innocence
was never meant to see the light of our armistice.
