I never believed in the robber.
我從來不相信強盜
I never saw nobody climb over my fence, no black bag, no gloved hand.
我從未見過有人翻越我的柵欄，沒有黑包，沒有戴著手套的手
I never believed in the robber.
我從來不相信強盜
I figured everything he took was gone, nothing to do, nothing to be done.
我覺得他拿走的東西都不見了，無事可做，無事需做
I never believed in the robber, no, I never believed in the robber.
我從來不相信強盜，不，我從來不相信強盜
You never believed in the robber.
你從來不相信強盜
You thought a robber must hate you to wanna take from you.
你以為強盜一定恨你，並想從你身上拿走什麼
The robber don't hate you, you never believed in the robber but the robber never believed in you.
強盜不恨你，你從來不相信強盜，但強盜也從來不相信你
He never saw you, you were two halves of the same piece divided into two.
他從來沒見過你，你是一分為二中的那兩部分
No, the robber don't hate you, the robber don't hate you.
不，強盜不恨你，他不恨你
He had permission - permission by words, permission of thanks, permission of laws,
他得到了許可——口頭許可，感謝許可，法律許可
permission of banks, white table cloth dinners, convention centres, it was all done real carefully.
銀行許可，高端晚宴（用白色桌布代指），會議中心，這一切都做得很仔細
Make real imagination, make unreal that which can be taken.
創造真實的想像，創造可實現的虛幻
Turn your gaze from the window's light,turn your attention to this sharp knife.
把你的目光從窗戶的光線中移開，把你的注意力轉向這把鋒利的刀
I never believed in the robber.
我從來不相信強盜
When I was young, I learned how to make love to the robber, to dance with the other,
當我年輕的時候，我學會瞭如何與強盜纏綿，如何與他人共舞
to wring from his hand the touch of a lover.
如何從他手中奪走愛人的撫摸
I never believed in the robber.
我從來不相信強盜
Nobody taught me nothing was mine - if nothing was mine, taking was all there was,
沒人教過我，什麼都不是我的——如果什麼都不是我的
looting at dawn looting at dusk.
那就只有掠奪了，於黎明掠奪，於黃昏掠奪
Hold open the gates for the want of lust.
為欲壑難填而敞開大門
All I saw was the dust, kicked up.
而我所看到的只是揚起的塵土
