The Traitor

Now the swan it floated on the English river
天鹅游荡在英格兰小河上

代表浪漫的玫瑰静静盛放
Ah the rose of high romance it opened wide
黝黑的女人整个夏天都在思念着我

裁判们在另一端悄悄望着我们
A sun tanned woman yearned me through the summer
我告诉妈妈，妈妈我必须要离开

让我的房间保持原样，但别哭泣
And the judges watched us from the other side
如果你不幸听到我悲惨的结局

是我的错，是环境的影响
I told my mother Mother I must leave you
那朵我染红了的玫瑰

那只我诱惑过的天鹅
Preserve my room but do not shed a tear
我的情人说，我是她的最爱

如果她枯萎，就将我责怪
Should rumor of a shabby ending reach you
裁判们说，你们错过了

站起来，准备迎接攻击
It was half my fault and half the atmosphere
空想家与行动派作战

看，行动派被打退了
But the rose I sickened with a scarlet fever
但我却眷恋地靠在她腿上

我饥渴般亲吻她的唇
And the swan I tempted with a sense of shame
我的虚伪就像黄蜂的针

毒药麻痹了我的意志
She said at last I was her finest lover
我无法去警告那些年轻的士兵

他们已经被上帝遗弃
And if she withered I would be to blame
从这里到巴塞罗那，在战场上

我被列为了爱的敌人
The judges said You missed it by a fraction
很久以前她劝我离开

却又靠在我身上不愿放手
Rise up and brace your troops for the attack
随意移动我的身体吧，趁我睡着时

把玫瑰捆起来，把天鹅绑起来
Ah the dreamers ride against the men of action
每天我都重复着日常

我抚摸她，我知道自己的地位
Oh see the men of action falling back
我亲她的唇，我赞美她的美

但人们却说我是叛徒
But I lingered on her thighs a fatal moment
但人们却说我是叛徒

And I kissed her lips as though I thirsted still
My falsity had stung me like a hornet

The poison sank and it paralyzed my will

I could not move to warn all the younger soldiers

That they had been deserted from above

So on battlefields from here to Barcelona
I'm listed with the enemies of love

And long ago she said I must be leaving
Ah but keep my body here to lie upon

You can move it up and down and when I'm sleeping

Run some wire through that rose and wind the swan

So daily I renew my idle duty

I touch her here and there I know my place
I kiss her open mouth and I praise her beauty
And people call me traitor to my face

And people call me traitor to my face
