Yeah, when I was only 17,
在我17歲的時光
I could hear the angels whispering
我彷佛能聽到到天使的耳語
So I droned into the words and wandered aimlessly about
我沉醉於那些縹緲之音漫無目的地閒逛
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
直到霧中母親的聲音讓我重回現實
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
那也許只是狗的咆哮
Or a wolf to be exact , the sound sent shivers down my back
或是讓人悚然的狼嚎
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
我被拉進人群之中
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
不久他們便邀我一同歌唱
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah
從峭壁從高丘
We would gladly get our fill
我們縱情歡聲
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
在破曉時分不息地高喊
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
我失去了是非的評判
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah
我的肉體漸生出了毛髮
And my thoughts, they surely were
我的思想
Turned to instinct and obedience to God.
轉變成對神的尊崇

你可以披上野獸的皮毛

就如危河一樣
You can wear your fur
你可要當心
like a river on fire
莫將神明褻瀆成謊言家
But you better be sure
我是讓人心驚的響尾蛇
if you're makin' God a liar
我是火上澆油的助燃者
I'm a rattlesnake, Babe,
如果你即成功
I'm like fuel on fire
別再因你所知而踟躇
So if you're gonna' get made,
到了我23歲的光景
Don't be afraid of what you've learned
我正蜷縮在山茱萸蔭下
On the day that I turned 23,
一個女孩倏而來臨
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
她漫無目的地閒逛
When suddenly a girl with skin the color of a pearl
她也能感受到我那個天使
She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see
我呆立凝視
She was listenin' for the angelsjust like me
撲落鼻頰上的落葉
So I stood and looked about
我又聽見了母親的聲音
I brushed the leaves off of my snout
女孩蹣跚地走著
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
在一片農場上安家
So I took her by the arm
養大我們的孩子並教他和善
We settled down upon a farm
現在毛髮褪去
And raised our children up as gently as you please.
我也開始承認

我的確對這世界一無所知
And now my fur has turned to skin
但我仍夢想著雪原上無慮的奔跑
And I've been quickly ushered in
衝破呼嘯的狂風
To a world that I confess I do not know
趟過古老的河流
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
直到我們知曉它已溶進我們身體
An' through the howlin' winds that blow,
你可以披上野獸的皮毛
Across the ancient distant flow,
就如危河一樣
It fill our bodies up like water till we know.
但你可要當心

莫將神明褻瀆成謊言家
You can wear your fur
我是讓人心驚的響尾蛇
Like a river on fire
我是火上澆油的助燃者
But you better be sure
如果你即成功
If you're makin' God a liar
就別因你所知而踟躇
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
