His Kiss, the Riot
Anaïs Mitchell
His Kiss, the Riot 歌词
The devil take this Orpheus
魔鬼带来了这个俄耳甫斯
And his belladonna kiss
和他致命的吻
Beautiful and poisonous
美丽,但恶毒
Lovely, deadly
可爱,但致命
Now it thickens on my tongue
它让我的口齿模糊
Now it quickens in my lung
它让我的呼吸加速
Now I'm stricken, now I'm stung!
我备受煎熬,浑身不舒服!
It's done already!
它折磨我许久了!
Dangerous this jack of hearts
这有情有义的小崽子太危险了
With his kiss, the riot starts
他的吻能唤起叛乱
All my children came here poor
这里的孩子们都是穷光蛋
Clamoring for bed and board
嚷嚷着要求保暖
Now what do they clamor for?
现在他们嚷嚷着要什么了?
Freedom! Freedom!
自由!自由!
Have I made myself their Lord
难道我成为他们的主人
Just to fall upon the sword
只为了迎来毁灭
Of some pauper's minor chord?
就是因为这些贫民的小调?
Who will lead them?
到底是谁领导的他们?
Who lays all the best laid plans?
是谁提供了最周密的计划?
Who makes work for idle hands?
又是谁把工作给了这些无业游民?
Only one thing to be done
现在只有一种选择
Let them think that they have won
让他们觉得他们成功了
Let them leave together
让他们一起离开
Under one condition:
但我有条件:
Orpheus, the undersigned
俄耳甫斯已经发誓
Shall not turn to look behind
绝不转头回望
She's out of sight
她在视野里消失
And he's out of his mind
他自然失去理智
Every coward seems courageous
懦夫在安全的地带
In the safety of the crowd
是可以装成勇士
Bravery can be contagious
勇敢容易传染
When the band is playing loud
尤其当乐队放声歌唱
Nothing makes a man so bold
当握着女人的手时她正向他微笑
As a woman's smile and a hand to hold
男人会变得再勇敢不过
But all alone his blood runs thin
但一旦他孤身一人,他会被吓得血液都不能流动
And doubt comes...
然后怀疑会悄然降临
Doubt comes in
怀疑降临在他身上
