Vox Humana
I haunted a basketmaker's shop
我常在栏架式购物店出没
Spending my days ripping pictures from magazines
耗尽一天时间从杂志上裁剪照片
Taping them to the walls of my prison
把它们贴在我的牢笼里
I remember walking by the sand
我记得曾顺着走过海滩
Each knob represented a different frequency range
每一个把手后传来不同的波段
And I remember holding the hand of the skeleton prince
也记起曾握着骷髅王子的手
And he swept me into his arms
他把我拥入了怀里
And he,he had tremolo deep
深沉的颤音
In the back of his black eye sockets
回荡在他黑洞洞的眼眶后
And he said
他说:
"Do you want to come away with me
“你可否与我一起
Into the pitch black pool?"
沉入黑暗的池沼?”
And I said
我回答:
"I don't know...I don't know,I don't know"
“不...我不知道”
Photocopied,the wind ripped through the trees
带着树影婆娑 风拂过树木
And all the stained-glass windows rattled
彩色的玻璃窗被刮动作响
I haunted a basketmaker's shop in 1927
1927年 我常在栏架式购物店出没
And on the beach in the summer there were thunderstorms constantly
夏日的海滩上暴雨不断
And they were unpredictable
阴雨天难以预及
Nobody knew when they would come and nobody knew how long they'd last
无人知晓它们的来临 或者何时散去
Sometimes they'd only last five minutes and sometimes weeks
有时五分钟 有时连续五周
I haunted a basketmaker's shop
我常在栏架式购物店出没
Because I had nowhere to go one long weekend
因为 漫长的周末我无处可待
Stained-glass windows turning off and on
彩色的玻璃窗随着拂过的风微微晃动
And the tremolo in the back dark corners
黑暗处发出的颤音
Cobwebs stripped,mildewed
蛛网结了又落 慢慢腐朽
I remember acoustic guitars and bells
记起原声吉他与铃铛作响
I remember the cathedral
记得主教堂
I remember cassettes,cathedral
记得被时间掩盖的磁带 以及教堂
