I Let Love In

I Let Love In
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds


Despair and Deception, Love's ugly little twins 绝望与欺瞒，一对爱丑陋的小双生子
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in 它们前来叩我门扉，我放了它们进来
Darling, you're the punishment for all of my former sins 亲爱的，你们为是我过去罪孽的降临的惩戒

I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来

The door it opened just a crack, but Love was shrewd and bold 门吱呀开了条缝，然而爱大胆狡猾

My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold 我惊恐地注视着我过去的生命在眼前闪回
A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole 混凝土构造的地牢上有被终身监禁卷起的爆花屑

I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来

Well I've been bound and gagged and I've been terrorized我曾收获捆绑、口塞和恐吓
And I've been castrated and I've been lobotomized以及阉割与脑前叶切除
But never has my tormenter come in such a cunning disguise但我的梦魇从未被如此狡猾的伪装侵入

I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来

O Lord, tell me what I done哦上帝，告诉我我做过什么
Please don't leave me here alone求您不要留我一人

Where are my friends?我的朋友在哪儿？
My friends are gone我的朋友走了！

O Lord, tell me what I done哦上帝，告诉我我做过什么
Please don't leave me here alone求您不要留我一人
Where are my friends?我的朋友在哪儿？
My friends are gone我的朋友走了！

I let love in 我放爱进来

So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at you door所以，若你独自一人又闻门上敲击
and the air is full of promises, well buddy, you've been warned承诺溢满空气，那么伙计，你被警告了
Far worse to be Love's lover than the lover that Love has scorned作为爱之情人比成为爱之弃侣更糟

I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来

I let love in 我放爱进来
I let love in 我放爱进来
