The Bottomless Hole

My name, I don't remember
我已忘却我的姓名
Though I hail from Ohio
尽管我来自俄亥俄州
I had a wife and children
我已娶妻生子
Good tires on my car
生活富足
What took me from my home
而让我远离家庭
And put me in the Earth
深入地心的
Was the mouth of a deep dark hole
是我家谷仓后面
I found behind my barn
一个幽深黝黑的洞口
We'd been filling it with garbage
从你记数起
As long as you could count
我们就一直用垃圾填埋它
Kitchen scraps and dead cows
厨余垃圾、牛的尸体
Tractors broken down
坏掉的拖拉机
But never did I hear one thing hit the ground
但我从未听到东西落地的声响
And slowly I came to fear
日复一日恐惧在我心中滋生
That this was a bottomless hole
我害怕这是一个无底洞
I went out behind the barn
于是我走到谷仓后面
And stared down in that hole
凝视着这个洞
Late into the evening
那天傍晚
My mind would not let go
我的内心叫嚣着不愿离去
So I got out my ropes and a rusty clawfoot tub
因此我找来了长绳和锈迹斑斑的四角浴缸
And I rigged myself a chariot
给自己组建了一个战车
To ride down in that hole
以此深入未知
My wife, she did help me
我的妻子也在帮我
She fed me down the ropes
她将绳子一点点放下去
And then I sank away
于是我
From the surface of this world
消失在了地表
When the last rope pulled tight
当我来到最后一段绳子的末端
I had not reached the end
我仍旧没有达到洞的底部
And in anger, I swung there
此时的我愤怒地吊在半空中
Down in that dark abyss
在无尽的黑暗深渊中
So I got out my knife
于是我摸索出了小刀
I told my wife goodbye
和妻子道了珍重
I cut loose from the ropes
割断了支撑我的绳索
And fell on down that hole
跌落进无边的黑暗
And still I'm there falling
此刻，在这邪恶的陷阱中
Down in this evil pit
我依旧在不停地跌落
But until I hit the bottom
但直到我到达洞底之前
I won't believe it's bottomless
我都不相信这是一个无底洞
