歌词与翻译

[中文]

所有仁慈的姐妹们，她们从未离去或消失

当我觉得无法继续时，她们正在等我

她们给我带来安慰，后来又给我带来这首歌

哦，希望你能遇到她们，你，已经旅行了这么久

...

是的，你必须离开所有你无法控制的事物

它从你的家庭开始，但很快就会影响到你的灵魂

我曾处在你现在的位置，我想我能理解你的困境

当你感到不神圣时，你的孤独告诉你已经犯了罪

...

她们躺在我身边，我向她们忏悔

她们触碰我的双眼，我触碰她们衣摆上的露珠

如果你的生活像一片被季节撕裂并抛弃的叶子

她们会用优雅而青翠如茎的爱将你紧紧绑住

...

当我离开时，她们正在睡觉，希望你能很快遇到她们

不要开灯，你可以在月光下读到她们的地址

如果我听说她们让你的夜晚变得甜蜜，我不会嫉妒

我们不是那种恋人，而且，一切都会好起来的

我们不是那种恋人，而且，一切都会好起来的

...

[英语]

All the Sisters of Mercy, they are not departed or gone

They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on

And they brought me their comfort then later they brought me this song

Oh, I hope you run into them, you, who've been travelling so long

Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control

It begins with your family but soon it comes around to your soul

Well, I've been where you're hanging, I think I'm can see how you're pinned

When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned

Well, they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them

They touched both my eyes, I touched the dew on their hem

If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn

They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem

When I left they were sleeping I hope you run into them soon

Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon

And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night

We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be alright

We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be alright
