我前年的翻译
Let me tell you a story to chill the bones 让我讲个故事叫你毛骨悚然
About a thing that I saw 说的是我亲眼所见
One night wondering in the everglades 在我困在沼泽的那天夜里
I'd one drink but no more 我只喝了一杯小酒再没多饮
I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight 我信步游荡,享受明亮的月光
Gazing up at the stars 凝望着星斗
Not aware of a presence so near to me 没有察觉鬼魅在我近旁
Watching my every move 注视我的每一举动
Feeling scared and I fell to my knees 我的双膝随着恐惧跪在地上
As something rushed me from the trees 树丛中又有什么推了我一把
Took me to an unholy place 带我到一个邪恶的地方
And that is where I fell from grace 一个让我堕落的地方
Then they summoned me over to join in with them 随即他们召唤我去加入
To the dance of the death 加入这死亡之舞
Into the circle of fire I followed them 跟随他们进入火的圆环
Into the middle I was led 我被牵引着站到火的中央
As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear 恐惧令我僵硬麻木,仿佛时间已经凝固
But still I wanted to do 我却仍有意识支配
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me 熊熊烈焰不能伤我
As I walked onto the coals 当我在火炭上走过
And I felt I was in a trance 我感觉神情恍惚
And my spirit was lifted from me 我的灵魂离我飘去
And if only someone had the chance 哪怕只有一人也好,能有机会
To witness what happened to me 来证明我的遭遇
And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them 我欢腾跳跃并与他们欢唱
All had death in their eyes 他们的眼里只有死亡
Lifeless figures they were undead all of them 都是没有生命的空躯壳,全是行尸走肉
They had ascended from hell 他们从地狱升起
As I danced with the dead 正当我跟死人跳着舞蹈
My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me 我自由的灵魂把我嘲笑对我咆哮
Below my undead body 我不死的躯壳下面
Just danced the circle of dead 死人跳舞围成圆圈
Until the time came to reunite us both 直到时间把我们重新合并
My spirit came back down to me 我的灵魂回到肉体
I didn't know if I was alive or dead 我不知自己是活是死
As the others all joined in with me 因为还有人在跟我一起
By luck then a skirmish started 一场冲突被侥幸的挑起
And took the attention away from me 进而带走我的注意力
When they took their gaze from me 当他们把目光从我这里转移
Was the moment that I fled 我就在那一时刻逃离
I ran like hell faster than the wind 我像风一样拼命奔跑
But behind I did not glance 但没有回头瞥上一眼
One thing that I did not dare 我不敢做的事有一件
Was to look just straight ahead 就是直直盯着正前面
When you know that your time has come around 当你知道已经在劫难逃
You know you'll be prepared for it 你知道你将做好准备
Say your last goodbyes to everyone 对所有人说最后一声再见
Drink and say a prayer for it 喝下最后一口酒念完最后的祷告
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed 当你躺在床上,当你在睡梦中说谎
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead 你从梦中醒来与死人共舞
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed 当你躺在床上,当你在睡梦中说谎
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead 你从梦中醒来与死人共舞
To this day I guess I'll never know 至今我都没法明白
Just why they let me go 他们为什么就放我走
But I'll never go dancing no more 但我从此不再跳舞
'Till I dance with the dead 直到与死人共舞
