[00:00.350]
[00:00.990]
[00:01.0]	The rain falls down on last year's man,
[00:08.70]	that's a jew's harp on the table,
[00:11.930]	that's a crayon in his hand.
[00:17.430]	And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled
[00:24.750]	far past the stems of thumbtacks
[00:28.350]	that still throw shadows on the wood.
[00:33.860]	And the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
[00:42.980]	and all the rain falls down amen
[00:51.140]	on the works of last year's man.
[00:57.750]
[01:03.20]	I met a lady, she was playing with her soldiers in the dark
[01:13.289]	oh one by one she had to tell them
[01:18.650]	that her name was Joan of Arc.
[01:26.210]	I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while;
[01:37.280]	I want to thank you, Joan of Arc,
[01:42.840]	for treating me so well.
[01:48.300]	And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight;
[01:57.410]	all these wounded boys you lie beside,
[02:03.670]	goodnight, my friends, goodnight.
[02:08.380]
[02:13.140]	I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived;
[02:23.950]	Bethlehem the bridegroom,
[02:29.260]	Babylon the bride.
[02:34.110]	Great Babylon was naked, oh she stood there trembling for me,
[02:44.730]	and Bethlehem inflamed us both
[02:48.640]	like the shy one at some orgy.
[02:55.550]	And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
[03:04.910]	that I had to draw aside to see
[03:10.920]	the serpent eat its tail.
[03:16.230]
[03:19.340]	Some women wait for Jesus, and some women wait for Cain
[03:28.750]	so I hang upon my altar
[03:33.760]	and I hoist my axe again.
[03:39.70]	And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began
[03:51.140]	when Jesus was the honeymoon
[03:55.140]	and Cain was just the man.
[03:59.950]	And we read from pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood and skin
[04:10.520]	that the wilderness is gathering
[04:15.370]	all its children back again.
[04:23.290]
[04:25.540]	The rain falls down on last year's man,
[04:35.750]	an hour has gone by
[04:39.110]	and he has not moved his hand.
[04:45.730]	But everything will happen if he only gives the word;
[04:56.80]	the lovers will rise up
[04:59.540]	and the mountains touch the ground.
[05:04.710]	But the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
[05:15.620]	and all the rain falls down amen
[05:23.430]	on the works of last year's man.
[05:33.250]

歌词翻译

[00:01.0]	雨落在去年的男人身上，
[00:08.70]	那是一座犹太人的竖琴在桌上，
[00:11.930]	那是一支彩色的粉笔在他手中。
[00:17.430]	角落里的设计图自从他们卷动就被破坏，
[00:24.750]	而遥远的图钉干，
[00:28.350]	依然在木头上投下阴影。
[00:33.860]	天窗像一张我永远也不会修补的鼓的皮，
[00:42.980]	所有的雨落了下来，阿门，
[00:51.140]	落在了去年的男人的作品上。
[01:03.20]	我遇见一位女士，她和她的士兵们在黑暗中玩耍。
[01:13.289]	哦，她必须一个个告诉他们，
[01:18.650]	她的名字是圣女贞德。
[01:26.210]	我曾在那支军队中呆过一小段时间，
[01:37.280]	我想去谢谢你，圣女贞德，
[01:42.840]	因为你待我如此好。
[01:48.300]	尽管我穿着军服，但是我的存在不是为了战斗。
[01:57.410]	所有你陪伴的那些受伤的男孩，
[02:03.670]	晚安，我的朋友们，晚安。
[02:13.140]	我参加了一场古老家族举办的婚礼，
[02:23.950]	新郎是 Bethlehem，
[02:29.260]	新娘是 Babylon 。
[02:34.110]	Great Babylon 赤裸着，哦，她站在那儿为我而发着抖，
[02:44.730]	Bethlehem 因为我和她的行为而怒火中烧，
[02:48.640]	就像一个害羞的人有时也会狂欢。
[02:55.550]	当我们感觉到彼此的身体像一层面纱，
[03:04.910]	我必须拉着另一边去看，
[03:10.920]	就像蛇吃着它自己的尾巴。
[03:19.340]	一些女人等待耶稣，一些女人等待该隐，
[03:28.750]	所以我来到我的祭坛，
[03:33.760]	并且再次举起我的斧头。
[03:39.70]	我带着找到我的那个人回到一切开始的地方，
[03:51.140]	那时耶稣还在度蜜月，
[03:55.140]	而该隐也只是一个人。
[03:59.950]	我们从血液和皮肤组成的有趣的圣经中知道，
[04:10.520]	荒野正在聚集，
[04:15.370]	所有的它的孩子都将再次回归。
[04:25.540]	雨落在去年的男人身上，
[04:35.750]	时间已经过去了一个小时，
[04:39.110]	他的手都没有动一下。
[04:45.730]	但如果他给出任何一个简单的指示，一切都将发生，
[04:56.80]	情人们将涌现，
[04:59.540]	山脉将接触大地。
[05:04.710]	而那天窗像一张我永远也不会修补的鼓的皮，
[05:15.620]	所有的雨落了下来，阿门，
[05:23.430]	落在了去年的男人的作品上。
