Matthew's Daughter

I don't know if there's a God up in heaven
我不知道上帝是否存在
But I met an angel today
但今天我邂逅了一位天使
Though her wings might be hidden
她將羽翼收攏
'Cause I don't see no feathers
沒讓我看見分毫
She's made of light and of grace
卻也藏不住她的光明與慈悲
And so she took my hand
她拉著我的手
And she lead me down
指引著我
As we sat by the water's edge
我們坐在河邊
And I said, 'Matthew's daughter
我向她懺悔道：”馬修的女兒啊
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
主清楚我的罪名，但錯已釀成
So bathe me in water
就用河水來洗清我的罪過吧
Come and dive in the river, you can start again'
沒入這河水之中，也許可以從頭來過。”
No, I don't see no halo but I know that it's there
我沒有看見她的光環，但我清楚光環就在那裡
Resting one inch over her auburn hair
就在離她頭頂一英寸的地方
And I told her my secrets, the darkest I have
我告訴她我內心深處的秘密
And I swear that she sees me for all that I am
向她保證我已毫無保留
And I said, 'Matthew's daughter
我懺悔道
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
主清楚我的罪名，但如今錯已釀成
So bathe me in water
就用河水來洗清我的罪過吧
Come and dive in the river, we can start again'
在這河水之中，我們可以從頭來過。 ”
And then she took my hand, said, 'My love, don't you worry
接著她牽起我的手對我說道：“親愛的，別擔心，
It only means there's a heart in your chest
這是你活著的證據啊
Ooo, so follow me love and come away with me
來吧，跟我走吧
To where the sun rises in the west '
去往那遙遠的極樂世界。 ”
Then I said, 'Matthew's daughter
我回答說：“馬修的女兒啊，
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
我已鑄成大錯
So bathe me in water
就讓我用這河水洗去罪過吧
Come and dive in the river, you can start again'
在這河水之中，便可獲得重生。 ”
And I said, 'Matthew’s daughter
我對她說道：“馬修的女兒啊，
Heaven knows I'm a sinner and I've made mistakes
上天知道我的罪過，如今我也後悔不已，
So bathe me in water'
就讓那河水洗去我的罪過吧。 ”
And she said to me, 'Darling, lemme ease your pain
她回答道：“親愛的，讓我來幫你減輕痛苦吧，
Come and dive in the water, you can start again'
沒入這清澈的河水之中，你也將獲得重生。 ”
