Shelter from the Storm 避风的港

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" 那是另一段人生，属于血汗与劳苦彼时丑恶作美德，泥泞铺满了前路我从荒野中走出，近乎失去了模样「进来吧，」她说，「我这儿就是你避风的港。」

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" 如若我重蹈覆辙，请你放心于我我会为她倾尽所有，这点我向你许诺在这个满眼皆是死亡的世上，人们为取暖而剑拔弩张「进来吧，」她说，「我这儿就是你避风的港。」

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" 我们相对无言，再也没了风险至此为止的一切都还悬而未决请试想，如果有一个永远温暖安逸的地方「进来吧，」她说，「我这儿就是你避风的港。」

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" 曾经的我精疲力竭，被掩埋进冰雹冬雪在灌木间身中毒刺，在小径上气息奄奄如鳄鱼般遭人捕猎，在玉米地饱受残伤「进来吧，」她说，「我这儿就是你避风的港。」

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" 当我蓦然回首，她就站在那边银镯戴在双腕，鲜花别在发间她优雅地走到我身旁，摘下我的荆冠「进来吧，」她说，「我这儿就是你避风的港。」

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed Just to think that it all began on a uneventful morn "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" 如今你我之间高墙筑起，有些东西也已消失不见我总是想当然，制造了过多误解再回想，一切都始于那个平淡的早上「进来吧，」她说，「我这儿就是你避风的港。」

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" 治安官步履维艰，传教士高坐鞍上可一切再无意义，只因末日将降那独眼的送葬人，徒劳地将号角吹响「进来吧，」她说，「我这儿就是你避风的港。」

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove And old men with broken teeth stranded without love Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn? "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" 我听见恸哭的新生儿如哀鸽般鸣叫缺牙的老者在无爱之境搁浅你在问我什么，伙计，是不是孤独与绝望？「进来吧，」她说，「我这儿就是你避风的港。」

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" 在山顶的小村庄，他们拿我的衣裳作注我乞求着救赎，却得到了一剂剧毒我献上了纯真，只换来了不屑一顾「进来吧，」她说，「我这儿就是你避风的港。」

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" 如今我身处异国他乡，但已经准备越过边界美丽的她游走在刀尖，终有被我俘获芳心的一天只愿我能拨动时针，回到上帝与她刚诞生的那刻「进来吧，」她说，「我这儿就是你避风的港。」
