Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds Mermaids歌词


She was a catch,
We were a match
I was the match that would fire up her snatch
There was a catch
I was no match
I was fired from her crutch
Now I sit around and watch
The mermaids sun themselves out on the rocks
They are beyond our touch
I watch and watch
Wave at me
They wave at me
They wave and slip
Back into the sea

All the ones who come
All the ones who go
Down to the water
All the ones who come
All the ones who go
Down to the sea

I believe in God
I believe in mermaids too
I believe in 72 virgins on a chain (why not, why not)
I believe in the rapture
For I've seen your face
On the floor of the ocean
At the bottom of the ray

I do drive a relentless course
I do husband alertness course
I do mermaid alertness course
Watch them out on the rocks
Wave at me
Wave at me
They wave and slip
Back into the sea

All the ones who come
All the ones who go
Down to the water
All the ones who come
And all the ones who go
Down to the sea

For all the ones who come
And all the ones who go
Down to the water
All the ones who come
And all the ones who go
Down to the sea

她曾是捕获物
我们曾是配偶
我曾是那支注定烧掉她的战利品的火柴
曾经有个陷阱
我不是它的对手
我失去了作她拐杖的资格
如今我呆坐着遥望
美人鱼们在岩石上晒着太阳
她们在我们不可及的地方
我看着，我看着
朝我挥手
她们朝我挥手
她们挥手然后消失
回到大海里

所有来到的人
所有离去的人
走向水中
所有来到的人
所有离去的人
进入大海

我相信上帝
我也相信美人鱼
我也相信72个处女排成一串（为何不，为何不）
我相信狂喜
因为我曾看到你的脸庞
在海洋的深处
在光线所能照到的底部

我开车驶过冷酷无情的路途
我扮演丈夫戒备森严的角色
我学习人鱼小心谨慎的课程
看着她们在岩石上
朝我挥手
朝我挥手
她们挥手然后消失
回到大海里

所有来到的人
所有离去的人
走向水中
所有来到的人
和所有离去的人
进入大海

因为所有来到的人
和所有离去的人
走向水中
所有来到的人
所有离去的人
进入大海

（72个处女：“艾布·乌玛麦的传述：使者说：‘安拉准许进入乐园的每个人，安拉均让他聘娶七十位妻子，二位仙女，......’”——伊本·马哲圣训集）
