歌词与翻译

通过这首渗透阿巴拉契亚音乐风格的黑暗民谣，你能掌握英语歌词中隐喻与象征的精妙运用。重复的'Are you coming to the tree'排比句展现记忆召唤的力量，'strange things'的叠句则暗含反抗压迫的集体记忆。歌曲融合童谣式旋律与死亡主题的强烈反差，配合詹妮弗·劳伦斯未经雕琢的嗓音，堪称语言艺术与电影叙事的完美结合。

[中文]

你是否，是否会来到那棵树下？

据说那里吊死了一个男人，他曾犯下三桩谋杀案

这里发生过许多怪事，再多一件也不足为奇

如果我们在午夜的绞刑树下相遇

你是否，是否会来到那棵树下

死者在那里呼唤他的爱人逃离？

这里发生过许多怪事，再多一件也不足为奇

如果我们午夜时分在绞刑树下相会

你是否，是否会来到那棵树下

在那里我告诉你逃跑，为了我们都能获得自由？

这里发生过许多怪事，再多一件也不足为奇

如果我们午夜时分在绞刑树下相会

你是否，是否会来到那棵树下

希望的项链，是否会与我并肩？

这里发生过许多怪事，再多一件也不足为奇

如果我们午夜时分在绞刑树下相会

你是否，是否会来到那棵树下

在那里我告诉你逃跑，为了我们都能获得自由？

这里发生过许多怪事，再多一件也不足为奇

如果我们午夜时分在绞刑树下相会

你是否，是否会来到那棵树下？

据说那里吊死了一个男人，他曾犯下三桩谋杀案

这里发生过许多怪事，再多一件也不足为奇

如果我们午夜时分在绞刑树下相遇

你是否，是否会来到那棵树下

死者在那里呼唤他的爱人逃离？

这里发生过许多怪事，再多一件也不足为奇

如果我们午夜时分在绞刑树下相会

[英语]

Are you, are you comin' to the tree?

Where they strung up a man, they say, who murdered three

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, are you comin' to the tree

Where dead man called out for his love to flee?

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, are you comin' to the tree

Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free?

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, are you comin' to the tree

Where necklace of hope, side by side with me?

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, are you comin' to the tree

Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free?

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, are you comin' to the tree?

Where they strung up a man, they say, who murdered three

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, are you comin' to the tree

Where the dead man called out for his love to flee?

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
