《Divers》歌词:
[00:30.91]A diver is my love
[00:38.23](and I am his, if I am not deceived)
[00:51.65]who takes one breath above, for every hour below the sea;
[01:02.79]who gave to me a jewel
[01:10.19]worth twice this woman's life (but would cost her less
[01:23.69]than laying at low tide,
[01:27.22]to see her true love phosphoresce).
[01:34.52]And in an infinite regress:
[01:38.28]Tell me, why is the pain of birth
[01:46.25]lighter borne than the pain of death?
[01:59.49]I ain't saying that I loved you first,
[02:01.92]but I loved you best.
[02:08.32]I know we must abide
[02:15.72]each by the rules that bind us here:
[02:29.47]the divers, and the sailors, and the women on the pier.
[02:41.01]But how do you choose your form?
[02:48.77]How do you choose your name?
[02:55.92]How do you choose your life?
[03:02.39]How do you choose the time you must exhale and kick, and rise?
[03:13.96]And in an infinite capsize:
[03:17.10]Like a bull tearing down the coast,
[03:25.35]double hulls bearing double masts–
[03:32.48]I don't know if you loved me most,
[03:40.91]but you loved me last.
[03:47.36]Recall the word you gave:
[03:54.06]to count your way across the depths of this arid world,
[04:07.01]where you would yoke the waves,
[04:10.53]and lay a bed of shining pearls!
[04:17.75]I dream it every night:
[04:24.90]the ringing of the pail,
[04:31.52]the motes of sand dislodged,
[04:34.67]the shucking, quick and bright;
[04:37.83]the twinned and cast-off shell reveal a single heart of white.
[04:48.34]And in an infinite backslide:
[04:52.42]Ancient border, sink past the West,
[04:59.77]like a sword at the bearer's fall.
[05:07.05]I can't claim that I knew you best,
[05:15.38]but did you know me at all?
[05:22.03]A woman is alive!
[05:28.94]A woman is alive;
[05:35.32]you do not take her for a sign
[05:41.21]in nacre on a stone,
[05:52.62]And never will I wed.
[06:00.13]I'll hunt the pearl of death to the bottom of my life,
[06:13.37]and ever hold my breath,
[06:16.88]till I may be the diver's wife.
[06:24.25]See how the infinite divides
[06:28.42]and the divers are not to blame
[06:36.20]for the rift, spanning distant shores.
[06:43.22]You don't know my name,
[06:51.75]But I know yours.
[00:30.91]我的爱人是潜水员
[00:38.23](如果我不曾被背叛,那我也是)
[00:51.65]岸上呼吸一次能在水下呆一小时的那个男人的爱人
[01:02.79]他给我的一颗宝石
[01:10.19]甚至值这个女人生命的两倍
[01:23.69](但是不如 退潮时
[01:27.22]她躺着去看她的真爱闪耀那般珍贵)
[01:34.52]在无限倒退中
[01:38.28]告诉我,为什么生育的痛楚
[01:46.25]轻于死亡的痛楚
[01:59.49]我也不是说我是先爱上你的
[02:01.92]我是说,我最爱你
[02:08.32]我知道我们必须容忍对方
[02:15.72]规则将我们捆绑
[02:29.47]潜水员们,水手们和在码头的女人。
[02:41.01]你怎么能选择自己的模样
[02:48.77]你的名字
[02:55.92]你的生活
[03:02.39]你又该如何选择你的呼吸,快乐和成长
[03:13.96]在无限的倾覆中
[03:17.10]如一头公牛冲向海岸
[03:25.35]如船体忍受桅杆
[03:32.48]我不知道你是否是最爱的我那个
[03:40.91]但是你是最后爱我的那个
[03:47.36]想起你曾对我说的话
[03:54.06]数数你穿越这个荒芜深渊世界的步伐
[04:07.01]你会扼制住波浪
[04:10.53]躺倒在一床闪耀的珍珠上
[04:17.75]我每晚都能梦见
[04:24.90]木桶的声响
[04:31.52]沙子被驱赶尘封
[04:34.67]愉悦而快速地剥动
[04:37.83]被丢弃的孪生贝壳露出一片赤诚之心
[04:48.34]在无限的倒退中
[04:52.42]古老的边境,夕阳西下
[04:59.77]如一把剑承载了整个秋天
[05:07.05]我无法断言我最了解你
[05:15.38]但你完全了解我吗?
[05:22.03]女人也是人啊
[05:28.94]女人也是人啊
[05:35.32]你不能为了石头上的珍珠
[05:41.21]把她当一个孤零零又尚未雕琢完好地符号吧
[05:52.62]我也不会哭的
[06:00.13]我会在生命的尽头追寻珍珠的死亡
[06:13.37]我会屏住呼吸
[06:16.88]直到我成为潜水员的妻子
[06:24.25]看这无尽的分歧是如何产生的
[06:28.42]潜水员是不会被谴责的
[06:36.20]而裂痕生成遥远的海岸
[06:43.22]你不知道我的名字
[06:51.75]但我知道你的名字
