Alberta Breeze

All my city is dressed in skin
我的城市被冰霜覆蓋
Her lips are dark
她的嘴唇黑紫
Her ankles thin
她的腳踝纖細
Oh my dizzy ballerina won't you give us a spin
哦能為我們旋轉嗎我炫目的芭蕾舞女
My country's cold in autumn's chains
她令所有風車旋轉起來
Every time I think of her it rains
但我的國度在秋天是寒冷的
When she breathes upon the morning
因為每次我想念她時天總落雨
She shakes all the weather vanes
當她在清晨呼吸時
Now I try to keep a steady hand
我努力嘗試保持手掌穩定
Because I'm living in a shaky land
因為我站立在一片晃動的大地上
Lord I try to be an honest man
主啊我嘗試去做一個誠實的人
But it's tougher than I ever planned
但這比我期待的要更加艱難
In the westbound air tonight are those centuries
那幾百年都在西風中逝去
My tongue-tied beheaded bride
我的無言的被斬首的新娘
The Alberta breeze
在阿爾伯塔省的寒風中
Oh David drive like you've never done
極速奔馳吧大衛
Oh Sarah sing like you've never sung
放聲歌唱吧莎拉
Oh my dizzy ballerina spin like you've never spun
哦能為我們旋轉嗎我炫目的芭蕾舞女
Now I'm sending you a telegram
我現在在寫電報告訴你
About my days in the caravan
關於我在房車裡的那些日子
With the steers and the bleating lambs
關於我在公牛和咩咩叫的小羊羔陪伴下的那些日子
Took the money and away I ran
把我的財富奪走吧我將要離去
I recall how the dress you wore rose above your knees
我回想起那時你的裙角是怎樣掠過你的膝蓋了
As the thrush flew from the mouth of the Alberta breeze
當鶇鳥飛出阿爾伯塔省的寒風
The summer's turned it's back on me with a sorrow-laden symmetry
夏天也已經離我而去並留給我很多充滿悲傷的相似事物
With a highway kind of robbery
它在剝削我的情感
Like my life was an apology
就像我的生命是一個道歉
Now I don't think about you all the time
可我現在已經不會一直想念你了
Only when the trees
只有在那些樹木
sway somehow slaughtered by
在阿爾伯塔省的寒風裡
The Alberta breeze
不知怎麼地搖曳著的時候
