lay my burden down

Album: Paper Airplane (2011)
Songwriter: Aoife ODonovan

放下我的負擔
Gonna lay my burden down
只管讓我躺下
Lay my body in the ground
觸著冰冷的泥土
Cold clay against my skin
我卻毫不在意
But I dont care at all
找不到我的心

就讓我與土地融為一體
Cant seem to find my piece of mind
地下六英尺
So with the earth Ill lay entwined
我的雙腳溫暖乾燥
Six feet underground
當我去了另一邊
My feet are warm and dry
我會把你的畫像高高掛起

但我不會回到你身邊
When I get to the other side
因為你離我太遠
Ill put your picture way up high
倘若我被棄於海面之上
But Im not coming back to you
你會前來看望我嗎
Its just too far
或是任我沉入海底

在碧藍的微波之下
If I was cast out on the sea
如果我學會飛翔那會怎樣
Would you come and look for me
飛過晝夜輪迴
Or would you just let me sink
棲於樹枝之上
Beneath the waves so blue
在人群中尋找你的身影

當我回到地面
What if I had learned to fly
我會親吻你，伴你左右
Fly all night till day drew nigh
但你知道我不屬於這裡
Touch down upon a branch and
我屬於遠方
Scan the crowd for you
親愛的，你不能聽見我的哭泣

我粉身碎骨
When I touch my feet on the land
我訥訥不能言
Ill kiss your lips and take you in
明月左右浮動
But you know Im not here to stay
倚著深藍色的天空
Its just too far
是我眼中所見

我的身體不停顫抖
Darling cant you hear me cry
無人憐憫
My bones are broke
逃離躲避
My tongue is tied
我沉睡時天籟響起
The moon is swaying back and forth
但我沒有聽見
Against the navy sky
我閉上雙眼
Is all that I can see
夢見佳日幾度
My body is trembling on my knees
當我醒來，喇叭響起
Just have a little mercy on me
我站在大門口
Run away and hide
倒下，卻喜悅著

我剛剛贏了賽跑
When I sleep the angels sing
我年輕時母親說
But I cannot hear a thing
生活實苦，但一切都會好的
Eyes closed
如果你能熬過艱辛
Dreaming of the better days gone by
那一天不會太遠

近在眼前
When I wake the trumpets play
And Im 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 thats OK
If you can make it through the day
Its not that far
No, its not that far
