He said I am not fighting for you any more[00:00:24]

The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before[00:00:29]
女王觉得她见过这个年轻人[00:00:33]
And slowly she let him inside[00:00:33]

He said I've watched your palace up here on the hill[00:00:38]
他说 我已见过您这山巅的宫殿[00:00:43]
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill[00:00:43]
我只想知道的是什么样女人让我们把生命奉献[00:00:48]
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will[00:00:48]
明天我就将离去 您也不必再把我记起[00:00:53]
Only first I am asking you why[00:00:53]
但是请先告诉我这一切的原因[00:00:59]
Down in the long narrow hall he was led[00:00:59]
女王没有回应 将他带到內闱[00:01:03]
Into her rooms with her tapestries red[00:01:03]
墙上血红的织锦兀自铺陈[00:01:07]
And she never once took the crown from her head[00:01:07]

But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won[00:01:24]

The young queen she fixed him with an arrogant eye[00:01:39]

She said You won't understand and you may as well not try[00:01:44]
你既不会懂 也没必要问[00:01:49]
But her face was a child's and he thought she would cry[00:01:49]
但他分明看见 女王婴孩般的容颜将要哭泣[00:01:54]
But she closed herself up like a fan[00:01:54]
尽管瞬时她又将一切掩蔽 平静地说起[00:01:59]
And she said I've swallowed a secret burning thread[00:01:59]
曾经我将一条秘密的火链吞进内里[00:02:04]
It cuts me inside and often I've bled[00:02:04]
它在我心中刀绞斧劈 使我鲜血淋漓[00:02:09]
He laid his hand then on top of her head[00:02:09]
他不由将手轻抚女王的头顶[00:02:14]
And he bowed her down to the ground[00:02:14]
把她揽向地面[00:02:38]
Tell me how hungry are you How weak you must feel[00:02:38]
那么告诉我您有多么渴望 您感到多么虚妄[00:02:43]
As you are living here alone and you are never revealed[00:02:43]
您在这里形影相吊已历多少时光[00:02:48]
But I won't march again on your battlefield[00:02:48]
请告诉我 即便我不再冲杀在您的疆场[00:02:53]
And he took her to the window to see[00:02:53]
说着 他把女王搀到窗旁[00:02:58]
And the sun it was gold though the sky it was gray[00:02:58]
屋外赫日当中 像灰烬里的金矿[00:03:03]
And she wanted more than she ever could say[00:03:03]
此时 她从未如此希望倾诉衷肠[00:03:08]
But she knew how it frightened her and she turned away[00:03:08]

And would not look at his face again[00:03:13]

Your highness your ways are very strange[00:03:32]

But the crown it had fallen and she thought she would break[00:03:40]

And she stood there ashamed of the way her heart ached[00:03:45]
但她呆呆站着为自己内心的悸动而羞赧[00:03:50]
She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait[00:03:50]
然后 她把士兵领到门外[00:03:54]
She would only be a moment inside[00:03:54]
她说 稍等 我去去就来[00:04:00]
Out in the distance her order was heard[00:04:00]
她究竟是在何处颁布了命令[00:04:04]
And the soldier was killed still waiting for her word[00:04:04]
