包含丰富战争、犯罪、死人故事的专辑丫⊙﹏⊙ 专辑名称来源于日本民间故事“鹤妻”或者说“仙鹤报恩” 包括10首歌,此外还有4首B-side After The Bombs Culling Of The Fold The Perfect Crime #1 Hurdles Even Here 因为The Decemberists一般被认为歌词故事性强,且此专辑又打着“鹤妻”民间故事的招牌,我就听的仔细点又找了歌词。 呃…… 鹤妻故事确实是讲了,又附赠若干战争犯罪故事。就像专辑封面,淡淡的颜色加两个纯良无害的人物。但点开大图就能注意到那个女性人物胸口似有血迹。 01 The Crane Wife 3 + 09 The Crane Wife 1 & 2 故事开头,有个穷小子(I am a poor man, I have not wealth nor fame)。他在冬天捡到一只仙鹤(As I laid eyes on what I'd found\It was a white crane, it was a helpless thing),而且是被箭射伤的仙鹤(Upon a red stain with an arrow in its wing)。他给仙鹤治伤然后放生(Now I helped her and I dressed her wounds\And how I held her beneath the rising moon)。几天以后,仙鹤化为美女来找他(My crane wife arrived at my door in the moonlight),他们就结婚了(We were married and bells rang sweet for our wedding)囧。但穷小子太穷,仙鹤织布帮他挣钱。但穷小子不但穷而且贪(But I was greedy I was vain and I forced her to weaving\On a cold loom in a closed room, down the hall)。 终于,穷小子发现仙鹤是用自己的羽毛织布(Each feather, it fell from skin\'Till threadbare as she grew thin\How were my eyes so blinded?\Each feather, it fell from skin)。仙鹤飞走了(A gray sky, a bitter sting\A raincloud, a crane on wing\All out beyond horizon\A gray sky, a bitter sting)。 Ps:《鹤妻》绘本的详细介绍http://landaishu.zhongwenlink.com/home/post_read.asp?lei=7&newsid=12257 02 The Island 有个人迹罕至的岛(There's an island hidden in the sound……There's a harbor lost within the reeds……The tides all come and go, witnessed by no waking eye)。 然后出现了女性角色“The Landlord's Daughter”以及男性跟踪者(As I was a-ramble down by the water\I spied in sable the landlord's daughter),男性跟踪者“Produced my pistol then my saber\Said "Make no whistle or thou will be murdered"”并且“I'll take no gold, miss, I'll take no silver\But I'll take those sweet lips and thou will deliver”……发生了什么大家想…………。之后女性角色被谋杀了,并被抛尸” I will dress your eyelids with dimes upon your eyes\Lay you close to water, green your grave will rise”。 03 Yankee Bayonet 背景是南北战争,一个北方士兵离开他的妻子\女朋友去参战(Heart-carved tree trunk, yankee bayonet a sweetheart left behind)。留下妻子\女朋友一个人怀着他的孩子(I lingered here with the blankets barren and my own belly big with child)。根据“But oh my love, though our bodies may be parted though our skin may not touch skin\Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow I will come on the breath of the wind”猜测首对唱歌曲中,男性北方士兵已经战死。也许可以认为唱歌的是他的鬼魂。 Ps:“But you are in the ground with the wolves and the weevils all a'chew on your bones so dry”这句让我瞬间穿越到了Bones。 04 O Valencia! 女主是黑帮成员(You belong to the gang and you say you can't break away)。男主爱她(I shout out my love to the stars),但和她的家庭处于对立关系(our families can't agree, I'm your brother's sworn enemy)。他们私奔了(So we'll wait for the stone on your window, your window\We'll wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go)。又被女主的姐妹出卖了行踪(But how soon we were betrayed, your sister gave us away)。女主的哥哥追来了,女主给男主挡子弹被她哥枪杀了(All I heard was a shout of your brother calling me out……Well, the shot, it hit hard and your frame went limp in my arms)。男主很悲伤(Valencia with your blood still warm on the ground\Valencia, and I swear to the stars I'll burn this whole city down)…… Ps:此歌有MV,情节更复杂。 05 The Perfect Crime #2 + 13 The Perfect Crime #1 “I got a gun, I got a girl I got a bullet-proof plan to pull The perfect crime, I got the perfect crime I got a warehouse down at the docks I got fifteen precincts of cops bought The perfect crime, I got the perfect crime” 有枪有女人有计划,仓库备了警察买通,然后,完美犯罪 “It was a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect crime It was a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect A perfect, a perfect, a perfect, the perfect crime It was a perfect crime” 06 When The War Came 根据维基,这首歌的背景是第二次世界大战中的列宁格勒之围。列宁格勒被围困,所有人都在挨饿时,城中的植物学家们仍然坚定地保护着植物种子样品,不让这些种子被饥饿的人(包括他们自己)吃掉(We made our oath to Vavilov\We'd not betray the solanum\The acres of asteraceae\To our own pangs of starvation)。因为写歌词的人刚读了Elise Blackwell的“Hunger”o(╯□╰)o Vavilov:Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov (Николай Иванович Вавилов)前苏联物学家、遗传学家。 “The song also has a political undertone to it; it is stated that despite the fact that people put their faith in the government which swore to protect them, they ended up being left unprepared and unequipped to fight the Germans off. ” (Our trust put in the government\They told their lies as heaven-sent)以及“ The song references Nikolai Vavilov, a Russian botanist who was murdered by Stalin, in the lyrics.”——维基百科 Ps:一歌还折腾这么麻烦,难怪这乐队被认为装13……。还Asteraceae……o(╯□╰)o…… 07 Shankill Butchers 维基说,Shankill Butchers是在20世纪70年代中期从Ulster Volunteer Force(北爱尔兰志愿军?这么翻吗?)中分裂出的一个犯下了一系列恐怖谋杀的团体。呼…… 不过这首歌听起来更像妈妈吓唬孩子的歌谣…… “'Cause everybody knows if you don't mind your mother's words A wicked wind will blow your ribbons from your curls Everybody moan, everybody shake The Shankill butchers want to catch you The Shankill butchers want to cut you The Shankill butchers want to catch you awake, awake, awake” 08 Summersong 有的观点认为这首歌是关于性而不是关于死亡的。 不过更多观点认为,作为这个专辑里的歌,不死个人就太说不过去了。 那么问题在于死的是谁。 此歌涉及一男一女。 有观点认为两人都死于船难。 另一观点认为,这首歌是关于男人在海边把美女淹死的。 剩下的那个观点认为:男人是个水手,死于海难(It gets swallowed by a wave ……In deep, far beneath\All the dead sailors slowly slipping to sleep)他的女朋友\妻子来到海边,悲伤滴想念他。 “She's grand, the bend of her hand\Digging deep into the sweep of the sand”有埋葬的象征。这首歌完全是淹死的鬼魂唱的。 呃……我比较赞同最后一种观点。 10 Sons & Daughters 有观点认为这与战争有关(Hear all the bombs, that fade away)。 也有观点认为仅仅是表达新生活开始的乐观情绪。 “When we arrive, sons and daughters We'll make our homes on the water We'll build our walls aluminum We'll fill our mouths with cinnamon, now” 11 After The Bombs 战争相关 “And after the bombs subside And this long low campaign calls it good for the night We meet in the streets where we meet in the bar's cold light We grip at our hands where we hold just a little tight” 轰炸间隙,跳舞…… “Then we'll go dancing, won't we go dancing Yes we'll go dancing 'till it all Starts over again” 12 Culling Of The Fold 貌似“Culling Of The Fold”有清除某一部分或某一类人的意思。或者清除异己?(翻译无能T_T)看歌词确实有这意思…… 杀 杀 杀 …… “Cut him up boy You've got to cut him up boy He's a wicked disgrace” 以及 “Cut him up girl Really cut him up girl He lives by himself in a hole in a wall You've gotta cut him up girl” 这不教坏小孩子嘛……⊙﹏⊙…… 以及 “And take your sweetheart down to the river Dash her on the paving stones It may break your heart to break her bones But someone's got to do, the culling of the fold” 这段恶心到我了…… Ps:貌似在水边杀人干坏事是此乐队的恶趣味之一…… 最后一个 14 Hurdles Even Here 我懒了…… ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 歌词来自http://lyrics.wikia.com/

没讨论区了就往评论区贴…… (以及:歌词不好玩,但貌似这专辑发达了啊) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't Carry It All Here we come to a turning of the season Witness to the art towards the sun The neighbors' blessed burden within reason Becomes a burden born with all in one And nobody, nobody knows Let the yoke fall from our shoulders Don't carry it all, don't carry it all We are all our hands and holders Beneath this bold and brilliant sun And this I swear to all Monument to build beneath the arbors Pond to glint the towers toward the trees But every vessel pitching hard to starboard Lay its head on summer's freckled knees But nobody, nobody knows Let the yoke fall from our shoulders Don't carry it all, don't carry it all We are all our hands and holders Beneath this bold and brilliant sun This I swear to all And this I swear to all wreathed the trillium and ivy Laid upon the body of a boy Lazy will the love come from its hiding Return this quiet searcher to the soil So raise a glass to turnings of the season Watch it as it arcs towards the sun And you must bear your neighbor's burden within reason And your labors will be borne when all is done And nobody, nobody knows Let the yoke fall from our shoulders Don't carry it all, don't carry it all We are all our hands and holders Beneath this bold and brilliant sun And this I swear to all And this I swear to all And this I swear to all And this I swear to all To all To all To all ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calamity Song Had a dream You and me and the war of the end times And I believe California succumbed to the fault line We heaved relief As scores of innocents died And the Andalusian tribes Setting the lay of the (?) 'Til all that remains is the arms of the angel Petty greed Queen of surplice (?) You know what I mean On the road It's well-advised to follow your own (?) In the year of the (?) And the Panamanian child Stands at the Dowager Empress's side And all that remains is the arms of the angel And all that remains is the arms of the angels And you've receded into loam And they're picking at your bones Will call cold We'll come home Quiet now Will we gather to conjure the rain down Will we now Build a civilization below ground And I'll be crowned The community (?) giver out And the Andalusian tribes Setting the lay and the (?) 'Til all that remains is the arms of the angel 'Til all that remains is the arms of the angels ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rise To Me Big mountain, wide river There's an ancient pull These tree trunks, these stream beds Leave our bellies full They sing out I am gonna stand my ground Your eyes to me will blow you down I am gonna stand my ground Your eyes to me will blow you down Hey Henry, can you hear me Let me see those eyes This distance between us Can seem a mountain size But boy You are gonna stand your ground Their eyes to you you blow them down Let me see you stand your ground Their eyes to you you blow them down My darling, my sweetheart I am in your sway Two coal lines come springtime So let me hear you say My love I am gonna stand my ground Their eyes to me will blow them down I am gonna stand my ground Their eyes to me will blow them down 'cause I am gonna stand my ground Your eyes to me will blow you down ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rox In the Box If the rocks in the box Get the water right down to your socks This bulkhead's built of fallen brother and bones We all do what we can We endure our fellow man And we sing our songs to the headframe's creaks and moans And it's one, two, three On the wrong side of the lee What were you meant for What were you meant for And it's seven, eight, nine You gave your shuffle back in line And if you ever make it to ten, you won't make it again And if you ever make it to ten, you won't make it again And you won't make a dime On this gray granite mountain mine Of dirt you're made and of dirt you will return So while we're living here Let's get this little one thing clear There's plenty of men to die, you don't jump your turn And it's one, two, three On the wrong side of the lee What were you meant for What were you meant for And it's seven, eight, nine You gave your shuffle back in line And if you ever make it to ten, you won't make it again And if you ever make it to ten, you won't make it again And it's one, two, three On the wrong side of the lee What were you meant for Whatever you're meant for And it's seven, eight, nine You gave your shuffle back in line And if you ever make it to ten, you won't make it again And if you ever make it to ten, you won't make it again And if you ever make it to ten, you won't make it again ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January Hymn On a winter Sunday I go To clear away the snow And green the ground below April all an ocean away Is this the better way to spend the day? Keeping the winter at bay What were the words I meant to say before you left? When I could see your breath lead where you were going to Maybe I should just “let it be” and maybe it will all come back to me Sing oh January oh! How I lived a childhood in snow And all my teens in tow Stuffed in strata of glow Hail the winter days after dark Wandering the gray memorial park A fleeting beating of hearts What were the words I meant to say before she left? When I could see her breath lead where she was going to Maybe I should just “let it be” And maybe it will all come back to me Sing oh Janu… Oh January oh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Down By The Water See this ancient riverbed See where all the follies led Down by the water and Down by the old main drag I was just some towhead teen Feeling round for fingers to get in between Down by the water and Down by the old main drag The season rubs me wrong The summer swells anon So knock me down, tear me up, But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup Down by the water and Down by the old main drag Sweet descend this rabble round The pretty little patter of a seaboard town Rolling in the water and Rolling down the old main drag All dolled up in gabardine The last flashing lee to appear nineteen Queen of the water and Queen of the old main drag The season rubs me wrong The summer swells anon So knock me down, tear me up, But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup Down by the water and Down by the old main drag The season rubs me wrong The summer swells anon So knock me down, tear me up, But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup Down by the water and Down by the old main drag Down by the water and Down by the old main drag Down by the water and Down by the old main drag ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Arise! Baby wants a new spin Baby wants a broken heart Hear you found a lynchpin to keep it all from falling apart But you keep on rollin' You keep on rollin' Better find a way Better kick it from your big, brown eyes Hear it tightens up when you fall after fifty tries Like a ship at ocean Like a ship at ocean Like a ship at ocean Like a ship at sea You spit thick and you cross your heart But the culvert's all undone From keeping shotgun shy all around Just be mine tonight So the dollar shot shot broke the law and they knocked you down Better call the coppers if you need someone to push you around But you keep on stealin' You keep on stealin' Yes, you keep on stealin' Well, there's nothing left to steal You spit thick and you cross your heart But the culvert's all undone From keeping shotgun shy all around Just be mine tonight Just be mine tonight Just be mine tonight ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June Hymn Here's a hymn to welcome in the day Heralding a summer's early sway And all the bulbs all coming in To begin Thrushes beating battle with the wind Disrupts my reverie again Pegging clothing on the line Training jasmine, how divine Up the arbor to your door And more Standing on the landing with the war You shouldered all the night before Once upon it The yellow bonnet Garland all the lawn You were waking Day was breaking A panoply of song The summer comes to Springville hill Baronet of ivory in the trees Expanding on its empire by degrees And all the branches burst abloom And boom Heaven sent the cardinal maroon To decorate our living room But once upon it The yellow bonnet Garland all the lawn You were waking Day was breaking A panoply of song And summer comes to Springville hill Years from now When this old lie Isn't ambling anymore Will I bring myself to rye? I give my best to Springville hill But once upon it The yellow bonnet Garland all the lawn You were waking Day was breaking A panoply of song ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Is Why We Fight Come the war Come the avarice Come the war Come hell Come attrition Come the reek of bones Come attrition Come hell This is why Why we fight Why we lie awake And this is why This is why we fight When we die We will die With our arms unbound And this is why This is why Why we fight Come hell Bride of quiet Bride of all unquiet things Bride of quiet Bride of hell Come the archers Come the infantry Come the archers Of hell This is why Why we fight Why we lie awake This is why This is why we fight And when we die We will die With our arms unbound And this is why This is why we fight Come hell Come hell This is why Why we fight Why we lie awake This is why This is why we fight When we die We will die with our arms unbound And this is why This is why we fight So come to me Come to me now Lay your arms around me And this is why This is why We fight Come hell Come hell Come hell Come hell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Avery Dear Avery, I think of you only Were you waving, were you dead on the vine Oh Avery, I think of you lonely But I could just grab you by the nape of your neck There are times life will rattle your bones And will bend your limbs You're still far away the boy you've ever been So you bend back and shake at the frame Of the frame you made But don't you shake alone Please Avery, come home Headstrong, you and your long arms Listing lazily on the cusp of your tease But you were my Avery and when you needed saving I could just grab you by the nape of your neck There are times life will rattle your bones And will bend your limbs You're still far away the boy you've ever been So you bend back and shake at the frame Of the frame you made But don't you shake alone Please Avery, come home Don't you shake alone Please Avery, come home Come home 来源:http://lyrics.wikia.com/
