Third Family Portrait

歌曲歌詞

It was the dead of winter

那時正值隆冬時節

The cold was in our bones

寒冷徹骨

And our shelves stood barren

我們的書架荒廢著

As we had ever known

直到如今

So our mother stands on the porch one evening

夜裡母親站在門廊

The silent crack in her stony mask

她僵硬的臉龐無聲的碎裂

she looked up at the sky, and said "please”

她仰望著天空祈求著“請一定要……”

And by the turn of summer we packed up all we owned

到了夏末我們打包好了擁有的一切

And with my mom and brothers we started for the coast

與母親和兄弟一起向海岸出發

And I would count all the clouds on the way

我要數清路上所有的雲朵

And you and I would name them while the world around us changed

我們會將它們命名當身邊的世界不斷變換

And I remember asking if the place we're moving would have more food

記得我曾問搬去的那個地方是否會有更多食物

And my mother grew as distant as can be

母親開始離我遠去

and mouthed, "please"

無聲的說：“請一定……”

So I, so tired eyes, pay no mind

於是我帶著疲憊的眼神毫不在意

The river of time will drown these days out

時光的洪流會將這些日子淹沒

It was the year just after we stood and watched the sea

當我們佇立著凝望大海隨後的那一年裡

And my mom was smiling

母親在微笑
