This Old Dark Machine

Spring it came upon us,
我們邂逅春天
Every insect filled the air
小蟲多如繁星
Dropped their wings upon my brother,
朝我兄弟丟落翅膀
Cast their shadows on his hair
給他頭髮塗抹陰影
If we follow where theyre leading,
如果跟隨它們的指引
We will surely come before
我們定能先一步前往
Some unseen and wondrous magic
不為人知的奇妙魔法
Made of visions to explore
成型於探索的幻象
Near the town where we were living
我們曾居住的小鎮近旁
Lay an old abandoned farm
有個廢棄的舊農場
Every year wed plant an orchid
每年我們會種株蘭花
In the shelter of its arm
栽在屋簷蔭庇下方
To protect us from the madness

Of the future still to come
即將到來的瘋狂
It will be like this forever
我們將永遠如此
It will keep us safe from harm
我們會安然無恙
Then they caught us in the summer
他們在夏天撞見我們
Dressed in fathers finest clothes
身穿父親最好的衣裳
You the hat he wore to market
你的是他戴去集市的帽子
I the jacket filled with holes
我則是佈滿破洞的夾克
Ive been searching all these hours
漫長時光裡我苦苦求索
For a hand as pale as bone
找尋一隻蒼白如骨的手掌
That would keep the strongest sunlight
儲存最耀眼的日光
And reflect the brightest stone
反射石頭最明亮
Near the town where we were living
我們曾居住的小鎮近旁
Was a warm and fragrant smell
我們栽下的蘭花
Of that orchid we had planted
飄蕩溫暖的芳香
Now a forest tall and well

What a statue to our greatness
像座紀念我們偉大的雕像
What a story all will tell
這個故事人們將爭相傳唱
Theyll remember us forever
他們會永遠銘記我們
Theyll remember where we fell
他們會記住我們跌倒的地方
This old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders
這古舊的機器顫抖、搖晃
Pulls to the left, then dies near the gutter
向左行駛，熄火在下水道旁
But still in the road, the traffic is silent
但仍停在路上，車流靜寂
The people they stare, and then they turn violent
凝視的人變得暴力
If they should touch, the hem of your dress
如果他們觸碰你的裙擺
I would rise like a lion, strike out again
我將雄獅般崛起，再次出擊
The faithful they wait, the faithful they wait
虔誠的信徒，虔誠的信徒
By the sign
在跡象旁等待
Near the town where we were living
我們曾居住的小鎮近旁
Came a loud and joyous sound
傳來嘹亮的愉快聲響
As the earth and all her beauty
大地和她美麗的一切
Picked us up from off the ground
將我們舉至地面之上
Carried far across the mountain
攜我們遠遠飛越山川
To a kingdom never bound
抵達一個國度無邊無疆
We will live like this forever
我們會永遠這樣生活
I will love you

I will love you
我會愛你依舊
I will love you
我會愛你如常
