Take Me To Church

• By: Hozier

Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

My lover's got humour, she's the giggle at a funeral

我的爱人很有幽默感，她在葬礼上咯咯笑

Knows everybody's disapproval

知道每个人的不赞同

They should've worshipped her sooner

他们早该崇拜她

If the heavens ever did speak, she's the last true mouthpiece

如果天堂曾经开口，她是最后的真正发声者

Every Sunday's getting more bleak, a fresh poison each week

每个星期天都变得更加荒凉，新的毒药每周一剂

"We were born sick"

“我们天生就是坏的”

You heard them say it

你听他们这么说

My church offers no absolutes, she tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"

我的教堂不讲绝对，她告诉我，“在卧室里崇拜”

The only Heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you

我唯一会去的天堂，就是和你独处的时候

I was born sick, but I love it

我生来就有病，但我喜欢

Command me to be well

命令我变得健康

A-, amen

阿门

Amen, amen

阿门，阿门

Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

带我去教堂，我像狗一样在你的谎言神龛前崇拜

I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife

我会告诉你我的罪，你可以磨利你的刀

Offer me that deathless death, oh, good God, let me give you my life

给我那永不死的死，哦，上帝，让我把生命交给你

Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

带我去教堂，我像狗一样在你的谎言神龛前崇拜

I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife

我会告诉你我的罪，你可以磨利你的刀

Offer me that deathless death, oh, good God, let me give you my life

给我那永不死的死，哦，上帝，让我把生命交给你

If I'm a pagan of the good times, my lover's the sunlight

如果我是个好时光的异教徒，我的爱人是阳光

To keep the goddess on my side, she demands a sacrifice

为了让女神站在我这边，她需要一场牺牲

Drain the whole sea, get something shiny

把整个海都排干，找点闪亮的东西

Something meaty for the main course, that's a fine looking high horse

点心的肉，主菜，这马匹真不错

What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful

你马厩里有什么？我们有很多饥饿的信徒

That looks tasty, that looks plenty, this is hungry work

看起来很好吃，也很足，这可是饥肠辘辘的活儿

Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

带我去教堂，我像狗一样在你的谎言神龛前崇拜

I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife

我会告诉你我的罪，你可以磨利你的刀

Offer me my deathless death, oh, good God, let me give you my life

给予我那永不死的死，哦，上帝，让我把生命交给你

Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

带我去教堂，我像狗一样在你的谎言神龛前崇拜

I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife

我会告诉你我的罪，你可以磨利你的刀

Offer me my deathless death, oh, good God, let me give you my life

给予我那永不死的死，哦，上帝，让我把生命交给你

No masters or kings when the ritual begins

当仪式开始，没有主人或王

There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

没有比我们的温柔罪更甜美的纯洁

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene

在那悲伤尘世场景的疯狂与泥沼中

Only then, I am human

只有那时，我才是人

Only then, I am clean

只有那时，我才是干净

Oh, oh, amen

哦，阿门

Amen, amen

阿门，阿门

Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

带我去教堂，我像狗一样在你的谎言神龛前崇拜

I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife

我会告诉你我的罪，你可以磨利你的刀

Offer me that deathless death, oh, good God, let me give you my life

给予我那永不死的死，哦，上帝，让我把生命交给你

Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

带我去教堂，我像狗一样在你的谎言神龛前崇拜

I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife

我会告诉你我的罪，你可以磨利你的刀

Offer me that deathless death, oh, good God, let me give you my life

给予我那永不死的死，哦，上帝，让我把生命交给你
