	[ti:Queen and the Soldier]
[00:00.00]	作曲 : Suzanne Vega
[00:19.00]	The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
[00:25.00]	He said, 'I am not fighting for you any more'
[00:30.00]	The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
[00:35.00]	And slowly she let him inside.
[00:38.00]	He said, 'I've watched your palace up here on the hill
[00:44.00]	And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
[00:50.00]	But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
[00:54.00]	Only first I am asking you why.'
[01:00.00]	Down in the long narrow hall he was led
[01:04.00]	Into her rooms with her tapestries red
[01:09.00]	And she never once took the crown from her head
[01:15.00]	She asked him there to sit down.
[01:23.00]	He said, 'I see you now, and you are so very young
[01:26.00]	But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
[01:30.00]	And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun
[01:35.00]	And now will you tell me why?'
[01:42.00]	The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
[01:45.00]	She said, 'You won't understand, and you may as well not try'
[01:50.00]	But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
[01:55.00]	But she closed herself up like a fan.
[02:00.00]	And she said, 'I've swallowed a secret burning thread
[02:05.00]	It cuts me inside, and often I've bled'
[02:11.00]	He laid his hand then on top of her head
[02:15.00]	And he bowed her down to the ground.
[02:39.00]	' Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel“
[02:43.00]	As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed
[02:49.00]	But I won't march again on your battlefield'
[02:55.00]	And he took her to the window to see.
[02:59.00]	And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray
[03:04.00]	And she wanted more than she ever could say
[03:09.00]	But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away
[03:14.00]	And would not look at his face again.
[03:19.00]	And he said, 'I want to live as an honest man
[03:24.00]	To get all I deserve and to give all I can
[03:27.00]	And to love a young woman who I don't understand
[03:33.00]	Your highness, your ways are very strange.'
[03:40.00]	But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
[03:46.00]	And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached
[03:52.00]	She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
[03:55.00]	She would only be a moment inside.
[04:00.00]	Out in the distance her order was heard
[04:04.00]	And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
[04:11.00]	And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred
[04:15.00]	The battle continued on

	[ti:Queen and the Soldier]
[00:19.00]	士兵敲响女王的门
[00:25.00]	他说，“我不想再为你征战了”
[00:30.00]	女王想起大概在某处见过这张面孔
[00:35.00]	她慢慢开门,让他进来
[00:38.00]	他说，“每次看见你这座山顶上的宫殿，
[00:44.00]	我都会忍不住要想，这位我们为之而杀戮的女人究竟是谁？
[00:50.00]	我决定明天就离开这里，你可以随意处置我。
[00:54.00]	但在此之前我想知道这一切究竟是为什么。”
[01:00.00]	女王领他走过狭窄的大厅，
[01:04.00]	走进装饰着红色挂毯的房间，
[01:09.00]	一次也没有取下她的王冠。
[01:15.00]	她让他坐下，
[01:23.00]	他说，“我看清楚了，您可真是年轻，
[01:26.00]	但是我见识过的败仗多于胜仗，
[01:30.00]	我有一种预感，这一切只是因为你在找乐子。
[01:35.00]	你能告诉我为什么吗？”
[01:42.00]	年轻的女王用傲慢的眼神盯着他，
[01:45.00]	她说，“你不会明白的，你也最好不要去尝试。”
[01:50.00]	然而她的脸色就像个小孩，他以为她就快要哭了。
[01:55.00]	她却像一把闭合的扇子一样沉默，
[02:00.00]	然后她开口说到，“我保守着一个痛苦的秘密，
[02:05.00]	它绞割着我的内脏，让我流血不止”
[02:11.00]	他把手放在女王的头顶上，
[02:15.00]	吓得她弯腰趴在地上，
[02:39.00]	告诉我你有多么饥渴？多么的虚弱？
[02:43.00]	你独自一人，深居简行。
[02:49.00]	但是我再也不会回到你的战场上去了”
[02:55.00]	他她推到窗边，
[02:59.00]	阳光灿烂，可天空依然阴霾。
[03:04.00]	她知道说不清自己还想要征服多少土地，
[03:09.00]	但战争的惨烈让她害怕，她扭头不去看窗外，
[03:14.00]	她甚至不敢正视他的脸。
[03:19.00]	他说，“我只是想当一个老实人，
[03:24.00]	得到我应得的，付出我应该的，
[03:27.00]	我想要爱着一个我并不能理解的年轻女人。
[03:33.00]	女王陛下，你的行事方式真是奇怪。
[03:40.00]	皇冠掉到地上，她觉得可能摔碎了。
[03:46.00]	她呆站在那里，为自己的心痛感到羞耻。
[03:52.00]	她带她到门口，要求他站在那里等候。
[03:55.00]	她骗他说自己马上就会过来，
[04:00.00]	在他听不到的地方，她偷偷地发出了指令。
[04:04.00]	于是还在等待消息的士兵被杀掉了，
[04:11.00]	女王最终选择了与令人窒息的孤独为伴。
[04:15.00]	战斗还在继续......
