亂亂寫

Just before our love got lost you said 在我們的愛迷失之前，你說
"I am as constant as a northern star"  「我就像北極星一樣，永恆不變」
And I said "Constantly in the darkness  我說：「一直都在黑暗中，
Where's that at? 究竟是哪裡？
If you want me I'll be in the bar" 如果你找我，我在酒吧」

On the back of a cartoon coaster 在卡通杯墊的後面
In the blue TV screen light  藉著電視螢幕發出的藍光
I drew a map of Canada  我畫了一張加拿大地圖
Oh Canada  
With your face sketched on it twice 在地圖上，我再次畫上你的臉
Oh you're in my blood like holy wine 你像聖餐酒一樣在我血管內奔流
You taste so bitter and so sweet  如此苦澀，如此甜美

Oh I could drink a case of you darling  我可以喝下一整箱
Still I'd be on my feet 但還站得住
oh I would still be on my feet 喔，兩腿還能踏地站住

Oh I am a lonely painter 我是一個寂寞的繪者
I live in a box of paints 住在顏料箱裡
I'm frightened by the devil  惡魔讓我害怕
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid 所以我只親近那些不使我驚恐的 

I remember that time you told me you said 我記得那次你跟我說
"Love is touching souls"  「愛，就是觸摸彼此的靈魂」
Surely you touched mine  你是觸摸到我的靈魂了
'Cause part of you pours out of me  因為你的一部份滿溢傾瀉至我
In these lines from time to time  不經意地在字裡行間顯露
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine 你像聖餐酒一樣在我血管內奔流
You taste so bitter and so sweet 如此苦澀，如此甜美

Oh I could drink a case of you darling 我可以喝下一整箱
And I would still be on my feet 但還站得住
I would still be on my feet 喔，兩腿還能踏地站住

I met a woman  我遇到一個女人
She had a mouth like yours 她唇形像你
She knew your life  知道你的生活
She knew your devils and your deeds 知道你性格卑劣處，和種種行為 
And she said 她說：
"Go to him, stay with him if you can 「去找他，如果可以，留在他身邊 
But be prepared to bleed"  但準備受傷」

Oh but you are in my blood 
You're my holy wine 
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you darling 
Still I'd be on my feet 
I would still be on my feet

歌詞有很多解釋，就是這種ambiguity讓人著迷。
