[中文]

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river

苏珊娜带你来到河边她的住所

You can hear the boats go by

你能听到船只驶过的声音

You can spend the night beside her

你可以在她身边度过夜晚

And you know that she's half crazy

你知道她有些疯狂

But that's why you want to be there

但也正因如此你才想待在那里

And she feeds you tea and oranges

她给你端上茶和橘子

That come all the way from China

那是从遥远的中国运来的

And just when you mean to tell her

正当你想要告诉她

That you have no love to give her

你无法给她任何爱

Then she gets you on her wavelength

她却让你和她心意相通

And she lets the river answer

她让河流来回答你的疑问

That you've always been her lover

你一直都是她的爱人

And you want to travel with her

你想和她一起旅行

And you want to travel blind

你想盲目地旅行

And you know that she will trust you

你知道她会信任你

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

因为你用你的心触碰了她完美的身体

And Jesus was a sailor

耶稣曾是一名水手

When he walked upon the water

当他在水面上行走时

And he spent a long time watching

他花了很长时间观察

From his lonely wooden tower

从他孤独的木塔上

And when he knew for certain

当他确信无疑时

Only drowning men could see him

只有溺水的人才能看见他

He said "All men will be sailors then

他说：“所有人都将成为水手

Until the sea shall free them"

直到大海将他们解放”

But he himself was broken

但他自己早已破碎

Long before the sky would open

早在天空打开之前

Forsaken, almost human

被遗弃，近乎凡人

He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

他像石头般沉没在你的智慧之下

And you want to travel with him

你想和他一起旅行

And you want to travel blind

你想盲目地旅行

And you think maybe you'll trust him

你想或许你会信任他

For he's touched your perfect body with his mind

因为他用他的心触碰了你完美的身体

Now Suzanne takes your hand

现在苏珊娜牵起你的手

And she leads you to the river

她带你来到河边

She is wearing rags and feathers

她穿着破烂的衣服，戴着羽毛

From Salvation Army counters

那是从救世军的柜台上买来的

And the sun pours down like honey

阳光像蜂蜜般倾泻而下

On Our Lady of the Harbour

洒在海港圣母身上

And she shows you where to look

她指给你该看向哪里

Among the garbage and the flowers

在垃圾和鲜花之中

There are heroes in the seaweed

海藻里藏着英雄

There are children in the morning

清晨有孩童的身影

They are leaning out for love

他们渴望着爱

And they will lean that way forever

他们将永远那样渴望

While Suzanne holds the mirror

当苏珊娜举起镜子

And you want to travel with her

你想和她一起旅行

And you want to travel blind

你想盲目地旅行

And you know you can trust her

你知道你可以信任她

For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

因为她用她的心触碰了你完美的身体
