Riverside--Agnes Obel





Down by the river by the boats

划着船顺着河流而下

Where everybody goes to be alone

每个人都要孤单前往

Where you won't see any rising sun

那是一个看不见日出的地方

Down to the river we will run

顺着河流我们将逃离



When by the water we drink to the dregs

当我们把水都喝尽

Look at the stones on the river bed

看到躺在河床上的石头

I can tell from your eyes

你的眼神告诉我

You've never been by the riverside

你从未到过河边



Down by the water the riverbed

在河边，在河床边

Somebody calls you somebody says

有人在呼唤你，有人在说

swim with the current and float away

随着河流飘走吧

Down by the river everyday

每天都如此



Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep

上帝啊，我看见河水深处腐朽的一切

And I don't know why I go the way

我不知道我为什么要来到

Down by the riverside

这河床边上







When that old river runs pass your eyes

当你看见从前的河流流过

To wash off the dirt on the riverside

要把河床上的污浊洗清

Go to the water so very near

那么快亲近这可贵的河水

The river will be your eyes and ears

这河水就是你的眼睛和耳朵



I walk to the borders on my own

我独自走在边界上

To fall in the water just like a stone

就像石头那样坠入水中

Chilled to the marrow in them bones

感觉冰冷刺骨

Why do I go here all alone

为什么我要只身来这？



Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep

上帝啊，我看见河水深处腐朽的一切

And I don't know why I go the way

我不知道为何我要来到

Down by the riverside

这河岸边上
