You can hear the boats go by
你們可以聽見輪船行駛在河上
You can spend the night beside her
今晚你可以一直待在她的身旁
And you know that she's half crazy
你知道她有些瘋狂
But that's why you want to be there
可這就是為什麼你留下的原因
And she feeds you tea and oranges
她請你喝茶，吃橘子
That come all the way from China
它們來自中國那個遙遠的地方
And just when you mean to tell her
正你打算告訴她
That you have no love to give her
你不可能給她任何的愛
Then she gets you on her wavelength
她卻馬上把話岔開
And she lets the river answer
讓河流告訴你答案
That you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her

And Jesus was a sailor
耶穌是一個海員
When he walked upon the water
當他行走在水面上
And he spent a long time watching
他站在孤獨的木塔上
From his lonely wooden tower
長時間地向海上張望
And when he knew for certain
他肯定地知道
Only drowning men could see him
自己只能被淹死的人看到
He said 'All men will be sailors then
他說“讓所有的人都去航海，
Until the sea shall free them'
直到大海最終把他們解放“
But he himself was broken
可在天空開裂之前
Long before the sky would open
他自己卻早已崩潰
For saken almost human
他像一個普通人一樣被無情地拋棄
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
他像一塊石頭一樣沉入智慧的海底
And you want to travel with him
你想和他一起四處旅行
And you want to travel blind

From Salvation Army counters

And the sun pours down like honey
陽光如蜂蜜一般滋潤著大地
On our lady of the harbour
蘇珊迎著陽光站在河邊
And she shows you where to look
在垃圾和野花之間
Among the garbage and the flowers
她把值得注意的東西指給你看
There are heroes in the seaweed
海藻中間有無數的英雄
There are children in the morning
晨光裡有無數孩子的臉
They are leaning out for love
它們伸出手來求愛
And they will lean that way forever
在蘇珊手裡握著的鏡子裡面
While Suzanne holds the mirror
他們就一直這樣不停地期盼
And you want to travel with her
你想和她一起四處旅行
And you want to travel
你想永遠閉上你的眼睛
And you know that you can trust her
你知道你將永遠信任她
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
