I had to go back to that house one more time 我只好回到那个房子一次

To see if Camellias were in bloom 要查看是否茶花正盛开

For so many reasons it's been on my mind 对于这么多的原因，它一直在我心中

The house on Belmont Avenue 在贝尔蒙大道的房子

   

Built up on cinderblocks off of the ground 建立在cinderblocks离开地面的

What with the rain and the soft swampy land 是下雨和软沼泽地

By the sweet honeysuckle that grew all around 由甜金银花的生长各地

Were switches when we were bad 是开关的时候，我们是坏

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

I took a bus to Baton Rouge....[etc.] 我坐公共汽车到巴吞鲁日... [等]。

   

All the front rooms were kept closed off 所有前面的房间被保留封闭

I never liked to go in there much 我从来不喜欢去那里多

Sometimes the doors they'd be locked 有时候门，他们会被锁定

'Cause there were precious things I couldn't touch “原因有贵重的东西我不能碰

   

The company couch covered in plastic 该公司沙发上覆盖塑料

Little books about being saved 关于被保存的小书

The dining room table nobody ate at 餐桌没人吃了

And the piano nobody played 和钢琴演奏的人

   

   

   

(Repeat Chorus) （重复副歌）

   

There was this beautiful lamp I always loved 有这个美丽的灯我一直爱

A seashore was painted on the shade 海边被画在阴凉处

It would turn around when you switched on the bulb 它会转身，当你打开灯泡

And gently rock the waves 并轻轻摇动波

   

The driveway was covered with tiny white seashells 车道上铺满了白色的小贝壳

A fig tree stood in the backyard there are other things I remember, as well 在后院一棵无花果树站在那里，其他的东西我还记得，还有

But to tell them would be just too hard 不过说起来会太硬

   

Ghosts in the wind that blow through my life 在风的鬼魂在我的生命中吹

Follow me wherever I go 跟着我无论我走到哪里

   

I'll never be free from these chains inside 我永远不会摆脱这些连锁店内

Hidden deep down in my soul 在我的灵魂隐藏在内心深处
