歌词与翻译

[中文]

有一次我去了国外

和一个我了解得太深的女人

我活着、呼吸，只为了抱紧她

我喜欢听她说话

我们参加了聚会

还常去她老家的城镇

我们漫步到餐馆里

追寻她的旧友

他们都知道那个奇怪的数字

天气、孩子们、电视

但就在这里，她操控一切

偷偷溜进别人的悲伤里

她像占卜牌和吉普赛动作

她全情投入地听着

没人能预料到，她不会让人知道

金丝雀也不唱歌（唱，唱，唱）

她不唱歌

为了一个“监督者”女人（看着）

(一个“监督者”女人)

我为她们感同身受，不是因为

她们正经历些什么

我敢肯定，她们曾试图触摸空的房间

但她不会让事情变得容易（不）

她藏在发后面（发）

她问太多问题

还小心翼翼地打断你

她像打开的饼干罐一样深入你心

不是因为你有趣

而是想挖掘你破碎的心

藏起被借用的痛苦

离婚、轻视、疾病

而且她自己也有麻烦

但她的东西是她自己留着（留着，留着，留着）

那是她的所有

为了“监督者”女人（看着）

坐在木偶操控者旁边的椅子上，是我

也许我太多话，已经说得太多

我被卷入了交谈，我让她说到入睡

在那样的地方，连被赶走也是一种解脱

无声是残忍的，我无法抹去脸上的表情

我知道我需要怜悯，主啊

我相信她也需要

她甚至不找借口

那样太多真相

是真相太多

(一个“监督者”女人)

当你已远在四十之北

一切成长都得靠你自己

即使你离我远去

我也愿死去，只为看你绽放

我曾经睁开眼睛

当我去国外

和一个没人真正了解的女人

但我活着，只为听她说话

...

[英语]

One time I went overseas

With a woman I know too deep

I live and breathe to hold her in

I love to hear her speak

We went to people's parties

And we haunted her old hometown

We rambled into restaurants

Tracking her old friends down

They all knew the magic number

The weather, the kids, TV

But this is where she pulls the strings

And slips into someone's grief

She's all tarot cards and gypsy moves

She's on fire with listening

No one sees it coming, no

The canary doesn't sing (sing, sing, sing)

She doesn't sing

For a woman oversees (sees)

(A woman oversees)

I feel for them and not because

Of what they're going through

I'm sure they used to try and reach inside an empty room

But she doesn't make it easy (no)

She hides behind her hair (hair)

She asks too many questions

And she cuts you off with care

She reaches deep inside you like an open cookie jar

And not because you're interesting

But to mine your broken heart

For borrowed pain to hide behind

Divorce, disdain, disease

And it ain't like she don't have her own

But hers is hers to keep (keep, keep, keep)

It's hers to keep

For a woman oversees (a woman oversees)

And in a chair sat right beside the puppeteer sits me

Recognizing maybe that I've said too many things

I've fallen prey to conversate, I've spoken her to sleep

Even an eviction would be a mercy in that place

Wordlessness is cruel, and I can't wipe it off my face

I know I need compassion, Lord

I'm sure she needs it too

She won't even make excuses

That would all be too much truth

It's too much truth

(A woman oversees)

When you're this far north of forty

The growing's up to you

Even if you grow away from me

And I'd die to watch you bloom

I opened up my eyes one time

When I went overseas

With a woman no one really knows

But I live to hear her speak
