[00:14.70] I'll tell it as I best know how,
[00:17.89] And that's the way it was told to me: I
[00:22.35] Must have been a thief or a whore,
[00:24.82] Then surely was thrown overboard,
[00:28.21] Where, they say,
[00:29.33] I came this way from the deep blue sea.
[00:34.70] It picked me up and tossed me round.
[00:37.87] I lost my shoes and tore my gown,
[00:41.37] I forgot my name,
[00:42.57] And drowned.
[00:44.09] Then woke up with the surf a - pounding;
[00:47.85] It seemed I had been run aground.
[00:53.58] Well they took me in and shod my feet
[00:56.38] And taught me prayers for chastity
[01:00.45] And said my name would be Colleen, and
[01:05.46] I was blessed among all women,
[01:09.47] To have forgotten everything.
[01:22.53] And as the weeks and months ensued
[01:25.92] I tried to make myself of use.
[01:29.27] I tilled and planted, but could not produce -
[01:31.77] not root, nor leaf, nor flower, nor bean; Lord!
[01:35.82] It seemed I overwatered everything.
[01:39.25] And I hate the sight of that empty air,
[01:42.10] like stepping for a missing stair
[01:45.95] and falling forth forever blindly:
[01:50.95] cannot grab hold of anything! No,
[01:54.48] Not I, most blessed among Colleens.
[02:07.91] I dream some nights of a funny sea,
[02:11.33] as soft as a newly born baby.
[02:14.53] It cries for me pitifully!
[02:17.31] And I dive for my child with a wildness in me,
[02:21.91] and am so sweetly there received.
[02:24.73] But last night came a different dream;
[02:27.52] a gray and sloping-shouldered thing
[02:31.36] said "What's cinched 'round your waist, Colleen?
[02:36.15] is that my very own baleen?
[02:39.25] No! Have you forgotten everything?"
[02:52.96] This morning, 'round the cape at dawn,
[02:56.28] some travellers sailed into town
[02:59.70] with scraps for sale and the saddest songs
[03:02.40] and a book of pictures, leather-bound, that
[03:05.49] showed a whale with a tusk a meter long.
[03:09.93] Well, I asked the man who showed it me,
[03:12.52] "What is the name of that strange beast?"
[03:16.29] He said its name translated roughly to
[03:21.36] He-Who-Easily-Can-Curve-Himself-Against-The-Sky.
[03:28.88] And I am without words.
[03:30.46] He said, "My lady looks perturbed.
[03:34.53] (the light is in your eyes, Colleen.)"
[03:39.08] I said, "Whatever can you mean?"
[03:42.06] He leaned in and said,
[03:43.87] "You ain't forgotten everything."
[04:08.85] "You dare to speak a lady's name?"
[04:11.95] He said, "My lady is mistaken.
[04:15.53] I would not speak your name in this place;
[04:18.01] and if I were to try then the wind - I swear -
[04:21.01] would rise, to tear you clean from me without a trace."
[04:25.42] "Have you come, then, to rescue me?"
[04:27.98] He laughed and said, "from what, 'Colleen'?"
[04:31.81] You dried and dressed most willingly.
[04:36.79] you corseted, and caught the dread disease
[04:40.60] by which one comes to know such peace."
[04:43.84] Well, it's true that I came to know such things as
[04:46.62] the laws which govern property
[04:50.41] and herbs to feed the babes that wean,
[04:55.57] and the welting weight for every season;
[04:59.03] but still
[04:59.97] I don't know any goddamned "Colleen."
[05:12.14] Then dive down there with the lights to lead
[05:14.68] that seem to shine from everything -
[05:18.90] down to the bottom of the deep blue sea;
[05:23.48] down where your heart beats so slow,
[05:27.85] and you never in your life have felt so free.
[05:30.63] Will you come down there with me?
[05:32.45] Down were our bodies start to seem like
[05:36.77] artifacts of some strange dream,
[05:41.28] which afterwards you can't decipher,
[05:44.29] and so, soon, have forgotten
[05:47.31] Everything.
[00:14.70] 我会用我所知的最好方法来把这个故事告诉你们
[00:17.89] 他们是这样告诉我的
[00:22.35] 我一定曾是个小偷或是妓女
[00:24.82] 一定被别人从船上扔了下去
[00:28.21] 他们说,
[00:29.33] 我来自于最深最深的湛蓝海洋
[00:34.70] 海水将我托起,我在波浪中起伏
[00:37.87] 我丢失了鞋子,长袍也被撕碎
[00:41.37] 我甚至忘记了自己的名字
[00:42.57] 淹没在无尽深海
[00:44.09] 然后随着潮水涨落在岸上醒来
[00:47.85] 我一副搁浅了的样子
[00:53.58] 他们接受了我,给我穿上鞋子
[00:56.38] 教会我为圣洁而祈祷
[01:00.45] 告诉我,我的名字是Colleen
[01:05.46] 然后所有女人包围着我
[01:09.47] 她们祈祷我已经忘记一切
[01:22.53] 周复一周,月复一月,时间流逝
[01:25.92] 我尝试着让自己有点用处
[01:29.27] 我耕地又种植,却一无所获
[01:31.77] 没有根没有叶没有花没有豆,天啦噜
[01:35.82] 我好像,给所有植物都浇多了水T^T
[01:39.25] 我讨厌眼前这空空的一切
[01:42.10] 像是踏在消失的楼梯上
[01:45.95] 然后盲目地从上面永远地摇晃坠落
[01:50.95] 抓不住任何东西!
[01:54.48] 不不不,这不可能是我啊,我可是被祝福过的Colleen!
[02:07.91] 有些晚上我梦到一片有趣的海洋
[02:11.33] 海水如同新生孩童皮肤般柔软
[02:14.53] 它为我同情地哭泣
[02:17.31] 我为我的孩子疯狂地下潜
[02:21.91] 我被这个梦如此甜美地包裹
[02:24.73] 但昨晚我却被一个不同的梦侵扰
[02:27.52] 一个灰色的,垮着肩的家伙
[02:31.36] 说道:“你腰上系的是什么,Colleen?”
[02:36.15] 是不是我的鲸须?
[02:39.25] 不!难道你忘记了一切么?
[02:52.96] 那个早晨,在海边的突崖周围
[02:56.28] 一些旅人航行进入了小镇
[02:59.70] 带着待售的金属碎渣和最令人伤心的歌
[03:02.40] 还有一本被皮革缚住的,有图画的书
[03:05.49] 书上展示了一头有一米长牙的鲸
[03:09.93] 我问那个把图片给我看的人
[03:12.52] “这个古怪的野兽叫什么?”
[03:16.29] 他把它的名字生硬地翻译出来
[03:21.36] 他·很容易·把自己·弯曲起来·碰到·天空
[03:28.88] 我惊讶到说不出话
[03:30.46] 他说:“我的小姐看上去被惊扰了。”
[03:34.53] 光在你的眸中跳动,Colleen
[03:39.08] 我说:“你所说的都是什么意思?”
[03:42.06] 他靠近我,说道:
[03:43.87] “你并没有忘记一切。”
[04:08.85] “你敢说出这位小姐的名字么?”
[04:11.95] 他说,“我或许弄错了我的小姐。”
[04:15.53] 我不会在这里说出你的名字
[04:18.01] 如果我在这里说的话,我发誓,
[04:21.01] 狂风会刮起,将你不留痕迹地卷走
[04:25.42] “那你来到这,是为了拯救我?”
[04:27.98] 他大笑,为了什么,Colleen?
[04:31.81] 你身体干干的,打扮成自己最喜欢的样子
[04:36.79] 被某个偶然知道这片宁静的人
[04:40.60] 染上了可怕的疾病
[04:43.84] 好吧,我的确知晓某些事
[04:46.62] 比如管理财产的法律啦
[04:50.41] 用来喂断奶宝宝的草料啦
[04:55.57] 还有每个季节不同的鞭刑重度
[04:59.03] 但我仍然
[04:59.97] 不知道任何该死的Colleen
[05:12.14] 潜向灯所指方向
[05:14.68] 一切都像在闪闪发光
[05:18.90] 一直下潜到最深最深的海底
[05:23.48] 一直下潜到你的心跳都变得缓慢
[05:27.85] 在你的生命中从未如此自由
[05:30.63] 你会和我一起下潜么?
[05:32.45] 下潜到我们的身体开始看起来像
[05:36.77] 人们制造出的某种奇怪的梦
[05:41.28] 那些过一阵你就无法破译的梦
[05:44.29] 然后,过一会,你就会忘记
[05:47.31] 一切
