Yeah, when I was only 17,
在我17岁的时光
I could hear the angels whispering
我仿佛能听到到天使的耳语
So I droned into the words and wandered aimlessly about
我沉醉于那些缥缈之音 漫无目的地闲逛
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
直到雾中母亲的声音让我重回现实
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
那也许只是狗的咆哮
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
或是让人悚然的狼嚎
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
我被拉进人群之中
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
不久他们便邀我一同歌唱
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah
从峭壁 从高丘
We would gladly get our fill
我们纵情欢声
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
在破晓时分不息地高喊
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
我失去了是非的评判
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah
我的肉体渐生出了毛发
And my thoughts, they surely were
我的思想
Turned to instinct and obedience to God.
转变成对神的尊崇

你可以披上野兽的皮毛

就如危河一样
You can wear your fur
你可要当心
like a river on fire
莫将神明亵渎成谎言家
But you better be sure
我是让人心惊的响尾蛇
if you're makin' God a liar
我是火上浇油的助燃者
I'm a rattlesnake, Babe,
如果你即成功
I'm like fuel on fire
别再因你所知而踟躇
So if you're gonna' get made,
到了我23岁的光景
Don't be afraid of what you've learned
我正蜷缩在山茱萸荫下
On the day that I turned 23,
一个女孩倏而来临
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
她漫无目的地闲逛
When suddenly a girl with skin the color of a pearl
她也能感受到我那个天使
She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see
我呆立凝视
She was listenin' for the angels just like me
扑落鼻颊上的落叶
So I stood and looked about
我又听见了母亲的声音
I brushed the leaves off of my snout
女孩蹒跚地走着
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
我扶起她的胳膊
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees
在一片农场上安家
So I took her by the arm
养大我们的孩子并教他和善
We settled down upon a farm
现在毛发褪去
And raised our children up as gently as you please.
我也开始承认

我的确对这世界一无所知
And now my fur has turned to skin
但我仍梦想着雪原上无虑的奔跑
And I've been quickly ushered in
冲破呼啸的狂风
To a world that I confess I do not know
趟过古老的河流
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
直到我们知晓它已溶进我们身体
An' through the howlin' winds that blow,
你可以披上野兽的皮毛
Across the ancient distant flow,
就如危河一样
It fill our bodies up like water till we know.
但你可要当心

莫将神明亵渎成谎言家
You can wear your fur
我是让人心惊的响尾蛇
Like a river on fire
我是火上浇油的助燃者
But you better be sure
如果你即成功
If you're makin' God a liar
就别因你所知而踟躇
I'm a rattlesnake, Babe,
I'm like fuel on fire
So if you're gonna' get made,
Don't be afraid of what you've learned
