Song For Zula

Some say love is a burning thing
有人说爱如火光
That it makes a fiery ring
炽热之环
Oh but I know love as a fading thing
但我明白爱如逝水
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
如同溪流中飘逝的羽毛
See, honey, I saw love, you see, it came to me
亲爱的，如你所见，爱已无法抗拒
It put its face up to my face so I could see
它来势汹汹
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
它将我摧毁
Into something I am not recognizing
我已无法认清我自己
...
You see the cage, it called, I said ‘come on in’
我于牢笼中向你发出邀请
I will not open myself up this way again
我已不能再向他人敞开心扉
Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand
并非将我面埋深土，沙子灌进我嘴中
I will not lay like this for days now upon end
只是你之后我再也无法向他人敞开心扉
You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
你看不见我的坠落，也看不见我的摇摇欲坠
To be acknowledged by some touch from his gnarled hands
风前残烛之时的轻拥或许让你有所触动
You see the cage, it called, I said ‘come on in’
我于牢笼中向你发出邀请
I will not open myself up this way again
我已不能再向他人敞开心扉
...
You see the moon is bright in that treetop night
明月挂树梢
I see the shadows that we cast in the cold clean light
月下影成双
Now my feet are gold, and my heart is white
离开你我寸步难行，但甘之如饴
And we race out on the desert plains all night
我们在荒漠平原里整夜驰骋
See, honey, I am not some broken thing
亲爱的，你看，我并不是一无是处
I do not lay here in the dark waiting for thee
我不愿在黑暗中无望等待
No, my heart is gold, my feet are light
心沉如金，只想逃离
And I am racing out on the desert plains all night
我将独自在荒漠平原中整夜驰骋
...
Some say love is a burning thing
有人说爱如火光
That it makes a fiery ring
炽热之环
Oh but I know love as a caging thing
但我明白爱如笼牢
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
如同杀手，对我的痴心妄想感召而至
Oh and all you folks, you come to see
大家都来瞧瞧
You just stand there in the glass looking at me
她只是杯中影
But my heart is wild and my bones are steam
我已形槁心灰
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free
我能亲手扼杀你，如果不曾被你束缚的话
