- Martha Wainwright the traitor 歌詞
- Martha Wainwright
- Now the swan it floated on the English river
天鵝遊蕩在英格蘭小河上
代表浪漫的玫瑰靜靜盛放
Ah the rose of high romance it opened wide
黝黑的女人整個夏天都在思念著我
裁判們在另一端悄悄望著我們
A sun tanned woman yearned me through the summer
我告訴媽媽，媽媽我必須要離開
讓我的房間保持原樣，但別哭泣
And the judges watched us from the other side
如果你不幸聽到我悲慘的結局
是我的錯，是環境的影響
I told my mother Mother I must leave you
那朵我染紅了的玫瑰
那隻我誘惑過的天鵝
Preserve my room but do not shed a tear
我的情人說，我是她的最愛
如果她枯萎，就將我責怪
Should rumor of a shabby ending reach you
裁判們說，你們錯過了
站起來，準備迎接攻擊
It was half my fault and half the atmosphere
空想家與行動派作戰
看，行動派被打退了
But the rose I sickened with a scarlet fever
但我卻眷戀地靠在她腿上
我飢渴般親吻她的唇
And the swan I tempted with a sense of shame
我的虛偽就像黃蜂的針
毒藥麻痺了我的意志
She said at last I was her finest lover
我無法去警告那些年輕的士兵
他們已經被上帝遺棄
And if she withered I would be to blame
從這裡到巴塞羅那，在戰場上
我被列為了愛的敵人
The judges said You missed it by a fraction
很久以前她勸我離開
卻又靠在我身上不願放手
Rise up and brace your troops for the attack
隨意移動我的身體吧，趁我睡著時
把玫瑰捆起來，把天鵝綁起來
Ah the dreamers ride against the men of action
每天我都重複著日常
我撫摸她，我知道自己的地位
Oh see the men of action falling back
我親她的唇，我讚美她的美
但人們卻說我是叛徒
But I lingered on her thighs a fatal moment
但人們卻說我是叛徒
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
Im 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 Im 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
