《The Mercy Seat》歌词

[00:00:00] The Mercy Seat - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:02] //

[00:00:02] It all began when they took me from my home

[00:00:05] 故事开始于他们把我从家里拖出来

[00:00:05] And put me on Death Row

[00:00:07] 然后他们将我关进死囚室

[00:00:07] A crime for which I am totally innocent you know

[00:00:12] 因为我犯罪了 但你知道 我是无辜的

[00:00:12] I began to warm and chill

[00:00:15] 身处死囚牢房

[00:00:15] To objects and their fields

[00:00:18] 我的身体开始颤抖

[00:00:18] A ragged cup a twisted mop

[00:00:20] 这里只有破烂不堪的杯具和拖把

[00:00:20] The face of Jesus in my soup

[00:00:23] 我的菜汤里仿佛能看见耶稣

[00:00:23] Those sinister dinner deals

[00:00:26] 这些极不吉祥的晚餐

[00:00:26] The meal trolley's wicked wheels

[00:00:28] 餐车的轮子破旧恶劣

[00:00:28] A hooked bone rising from my food

[00:00:31] 我的汤里浮起钩状的骨头

[00:00:31] All things either good or ungood

[00:00:34] 事事非好即坏

[00:00:34] And the mercy seat is waiting

[00:00:37] 施恩座就在眼前了

[00:00:37] And I think my head is burning

[00:00:39] 我的头感觉像要爆炸了一般

[00:00:39] And in a way I'm yearning

[00:00:41] 但是某种程度上 我又渴望着

[00:00:41] To be done with all this weighing of the truth

[00:00:45] 不再去权衡真相

[00:00:45] An eye for an eye

[00:00:47] 以眼还眼

[00:00:47] And a tooth for a tooth

[00:00:48] 以牙还牙

[00:00:48] And anyway I told the truth

[00:00:51] 不管怎么说 我说出了真相

[00:00:51] And I'm not afraid to die

[00:00:59] 我并不是怕死

[00:00:59] I hear stories from the chamber

[00:01:02] 我从律师处听闻了这个故事

[00:01:02] Christ was born into a manger

[00:01:04] 基督生于马槽

[00:01:04] And like some ragged stranger

[00:01:07] 就像那些衣衫褴褛的陌生人

[00:01:07] He died upon the cross

[00:01:09] 他死在了十字架上

[00:01:09] Might I say it seems so fitting in its way

[00:01:13] 不知当不当讲 这可能是最合适的选择

[00:01:13] He was a carpenter by trade

[00:01:16] 他是一个木匠 生意人

[00:01:16] Or at least that's what I'm told

[00:01:24] 至少别人是这样告诉我的

[00:01:24] My kill-hand's

[00:01:25] 这个杀手

[00:01:25] Tatooed E V I L across it's brother's fist

[00:01:29] 在他兄弟的拳头上纹了EVIL的字样

[00:01:29] That filthy five They did nothing to challenge or resit

[00:01:35] 那极其不堪 他们不具任何挑战性

[00:01:35] In Heaven His throne is made of gold

[00:01:38] 在天堂 他的皇冠镶满金子

[00:01:38] The ark of his Testament is stowed

[00:01:40] 他的圣约书里的方舟已转载好

[00:01:40] A throne from which I'm told All history does unfold

[00:01:45] 有人就这样跟我说 事情终会水落石出

[00:01:45] It's made of wood and wire

[00:01:47] 由木头和绳索制造

[00:01:47] And my body is on fire
