[00:00:00] The Queen And The Soldier - Suzanne Vega (苏珊·薇格)

[00:00:19] //

[00:00:19] The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door

[00:00:24] 士兵终于敲响了女王的门

[00:00:24] He said I am not fighting for you any more

[00:00:29] 他喊着 我将再不为您冲锋陷阵

[00:00:29] The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before

[00:00:33] 女王觉得她见过这个年轻人

[00:00:33] And slowly she let him inside

[00:00:38] 她犹豫着请他进门

[00:00:38] He said I've watched your palace up here on the hill

[00:00:43] 他说 我已见过您这山巅的宫殿

[00:00:43] And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill

[00:00:48] 我只想知道的是什么样女人让我们把生命奉献

[00:00:48] But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will

[00:00:53] 明天我就将离去 您也不必再把我记起

[00:00:53] Only first I am asking you why

[00:00:59] 但是请先告诉我这一切的原因

[00:00:59] Down in the long narrow hall he was led

[00:01:03] 女王没有回应 将他带到內闱

[00:01:03] Into her rooms with her tapestries red

[00:01:07] 墙上血红的织锦兀自铺陈

[00:01:07] And she never once took the crown from her head

[00:01:13] 士兵看着女王王冠的光华出神

[00:01:13] She asked him there to sit down

[00:01:20] 女王请他坐下详谈

[00:01:20] He said I see you now and you are so very young

[00:01:24] 看到您比我想象中更为年轻

[00:01:24] But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won

[00:01:29] 我愈加想不通 这场一将功成万骨枯的战争

[00:01:29] And I've got this intuition says it's all for your fun

[00:01:34] 如果只是为了博君一笑

[00:01:34] And now will you tell me why

[00:01:39] 这缘由实在令我困扰

[00:01:39] The young queen she fixed him with an arrogant eye

[00:01:44] 女王骄傲地盯着士兵的双眼

[00:01:44] She said You won't understand and you may as well not try

[00:01:49] 你既不会懂 也没必要问

[00:01:49] But her face was a child's and he thought she would cry

[00:01:54] 但他分明看见 女王婴孩般的容颜将要哭泣

[00:01:54] But she closed herself up like a fan

[00:01:59] 尽管瞬时她又将一切掩蔽 平静地说起

[00:01:59] And she said I've swallowed a secret burning thread

[00:02:04] 曾经我将一条秘密的火链吞进内里

[00:02:04] It cuts me inside and often I've bled

[00:02:09] 它在我心中刀绞斧劈 使我鲜血淋漓

[00:02:09] He laid his hand then on top of her head

[00:02:14] 他不由将手轻抚女王的头顶

[00:02:14] And he bowed her down to the ground

[00:02:38] 把她揽向地面

[00:02:38] Tell me how hungry are you How weak you must feel

[00:02:43] 那么告诉我您有多么渴望 您感到多么虚妄

[00:02:43] As you are living here alone and you are never revealed

[00:02:48] 您在这里形影相吊已历多少时光

[00:02:48] But I won't march again on your battlefield

[00:02:53] 请告诉我 即便我不再冲杀在您的疆场

[00:02:53] And he took her to the window to see

[00:02:58] 说着 他把女王搀到窗旁

[00:02:58] And the sun it was gold though the sky it was gray

[00:03:03] 屋外赫日当中 像灰烬里的金矿

[00:03:03] And she wanted more than she ever could say

[00:03:08] 此时 她从未如此希望倾诉衷肠

[00:03:08] But she knew how it frightened her and she turned away

[00:03:13] 而这个念头又让她如此恐慌

[00:03:13] And would not look at his face again

[00:03:17] 她转过身去 不再看士兵一眼

[00:03:17] And he said I want to live as an honest man

[00:03:23] 士兵说 我立志做一个正直的人

[00:03:23] To get all I deserve and to give all I can

[00:03:27] 去倾我所能 去担我应当

[00:03:27] And to love a young woman who I don't understand

[00:03:32] 去爱一个年轻的女人 一个谜一般的姑娘

[00:03:32] Your highness your ways are very strange

[00:03:40] 女王殿下 我想 您需要改变您的过往

[00:03:40] But the crown it had fallen and she thought she would break

[00:03:45] 王冠忽然滚落 女王以为它竟要残破

[00:03:45] And she stood there ashamed of the way her heart ached

[00:03:50] 但她呆呆站着为自己内心的悸动而羞赧

[00:03:50] She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait

[00:03:54] 然后 她把士兵领到门外

[00:03:54] She would only be a moment inside

[00:04:00] 她说 稍等 我去去就来

[00:04:00] Out in the distance her order was heard

[00:04:04] 她究竟是在何处颁布了命令

[00:04:04] And the soldier was killed still waiting for her word

[00:04:09] 让这里年轻的士兵失去了生命

[00:04:09] And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred

[00:04:14] 他死的时候还在等着女王的消息 而女王选择了她偏爱的孤寂

[00:04:14] The battle continued on

[00:04:19] 战争也终究延续下去
