Off-the-Grid Girl
Off-the-Grid Girl - Lorraine Feather
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
He packed his bags in Bellingham
他收拾行囊离开贝灵汉
Took the water taxi to where I am
乘船来到我栖身的地方
Wed lie by the brook; his yellow dog
溪畔相依 他的黄犬追逐蝴蝶
Chasing butterflies while I wrote my blog
而我写着博客记录时光
It warned the outside world to stay away
警告外界莫要轻易靠近
To stay away
切勿靠近
He would never pass the deep dark winter here
他永远熬不过这幽深寒冬
He made that clear
他心知肚明
Weve got these rats as big as cats
这里的鼠辈硕大如猫
Slugs as long as your arm
蛞蝓长得比胳膊还长
A nasty nest of rattlesnakes
洋葱田边盘踞着
Down by the onion farm
一窝凶险的响尾蛇
We brought them in to eat the rats
我们引入它们来灭鼠
Which as I stated are big as cats
可那些鼠辈——如我所言——大如猫
All they did was multiply and grow
它们却只是繁衍壮大
Its a very scary place to be
这真是个骇人之地
Unless youre an off-the-grid girl
除非你也是离群索居的女孩
Like me
像我一样
Forget about the ferry route;
别惦记渡轮航线
It wont be dropping you here
它不会在此停靠
Forget those touched-up listings
忘掉那些精修房源广告
On the walls of Windermere
温德米尔湖畔的招贴
Or Coldwell Banker or John L Scott
无论是科德威尔银行家 还是约翰·L·斯科特
One barren plot is all weve got
我们仅有的 是这片荒芜土地
Extended stays are scarcely apropos
长居此地绝非明智之举
Though theres a cabin in the shadow of the penitentiary
监狱阴影下有座小木屋
Just right for an off-the-grid girl
正适合与世隔绝的女孩
Like me
像我一样
Its curtains for our aquifer
我们的地下水源已枯竭
Salt pours from every tap
水龙头流出咸涩盐水
Not much can grow but nettles
唯有荨麻顽强生长
And theyll sting you in a snap
稍不留神就会刺痛你
But if youre coming anyhow
但若你执意前来
Get all your vaccinations now
记得先接种所有疫苗
Ill tell you something
我要告诉你个秘密
(Keep it on the down-low ):
(请务必守口如瓶):
Theres a nasty pox for which theres no immunity
这里有致命瘟疫 无药可医
Unless youre an off-the-grid girl
除非你也是离群索居的女孩
Like me
像我一样
Ive kept his books beside the bed
他的书册仍伴我枕畔
Ive let him stay inside my head
任他身影萦绕心间
Hed walk by the table where I sold
他曾走过我摆摊的木桌旁
The beets of purple the plums of gold
紫甜菜与金李子泛着光
I guessed a Harvard cap and gown
我猜他戴着哈佛方帽
I knew he played his money down
早知他挥金如土
