[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 |
