The Mercy Seat - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什) // It all began when they took me from my home 故事开始于他们把我从家里拖出来 And put me on Death Row 然后他们将我关进死囚室 A crime for which I am totally innocent you know 因为我犯罪了 但你知道 我是无辜的 I began to warm and chill 身处死囚牢房 To objects and their fields 我的身体开始颤抖 A ragged cup a twisted mop 这里只有破烂不堪的杯具和拖把 The face of Jesus in my soup 我的菜汤里仿佛能看见耶稣 Those sinister dinner deals 这些极不吉祥的晚餐 The meal trolley's wicked wheels 餐车的轮子破旧恶劣 A hooked bone rising from my food 我的汤里浮起钩状的骨头 All things either good or ungood 事事非好即坏 And the mercy seat is waiting 施恩座就在眼前了 And I think my head is burning 我的头感觉像要爆炸了一般 And in a way I'm yearning 但是某种程度上 我又渴望着 To be done with all this weighing of the truth 不再去权衡真相 An eye for an eye 以眼还眼 And a tooth for a tooth 以牙还牙 And anyway I told the truth 不管怎么说 我说出了真相 And I'm not afraid to die 我并不是怕死 I hear stories from the chamber 我从律师处听闻了这个故事 Christ was born into a manger 基督生于马槽 And like some ragged stranger 就像那些衣衫褴褛的陌生人 He died upon the cross 他死在了十字架上 Might I say it seems so fitting in its way 不知当不当讲 这可能是最合适的选择 He was a carpenter by trade 他是一个木匠 生意人 Or at least that's what I'm told 至少别人是这样告诉我的 My kill-hand's 这个杀手 Tatooed E V I L across it's brother's fist 在他兄弟的拳头上纹了EVIL的字样 That filthy five They did nothing to challenge or resit 那极其不堪 他们不具任何挑战性 In Heaven His throne is made of gold 在天堂 他的皇冠镶满金子 The ark of his Testament is stowed 他的圣约书里的方舟已转载好 A throne from which I'm told All history does unfold 有人就这样跟我说 事情终会水落石出 It's made of wood and wire 由木头和绳索制造 And my body is on fire 我的身体仿佛要爆炸一般 And God is never far away 上帝与我同在 Into the mercy seat I climb 我爬上施恩座 My head is shaved my head is wired 我剃了光头 戴上接有电线的帽子 And like a moth that tries 我就像飞蛾 To enter the bright eye 尝试进入明亮的地方 I go shuffling out of life 我脱离了世俗的生活 Just to hide in death awhile 只想就这样离开人世 And anyway I never lied 不管怎么说 我说出来真相 And the mercy seat is waiting 施恩座就在眼前了 And I think my head is burning 我的大脑一阵发热 And in a way I'm yearning 但是我又渴望着 To be done with all this weighing of the truth 能够结束真相的权衡 An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth 以牙还牙 以眼还眼 And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die 反正我说了实话 我也不是怕死 And the mercy seat is burning 施恩座就在眼前了 And I think my head is glowing 我想我的大脑已经灼热不堪 And in a way I'm hopin' 一定程度上 我希望 To be done with all this twistin' of the truth 趁早结束真相的权衡 An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth 以牙还牙 以眼还眼 And any way there was no proof And I'm not afraid to die 不管怎么说 要给我定罪 你并没有证据 我不是怕死 And the mercy seat is glowing 施恩座已经就在眼前了 And I think my head is smoking 我的大脑一片灼热 And in a way I'm hopin' 但是一定程度上我有希望 To be done with all these looks of disbelief 趁早让这些不相信我的神情消失不见 A life for a life And a truth for a truth 生活不就是要敢于说真话吗 And I've got nothin' left to loose 我已经没有什么可以失去了 And I'm not afraid to die 我并不怕死 And the mercy seat is smoking 施恩座就在眼前了 And I think my head is melting 我感觉我的大脑已经无法思考了
