In an open field at dusk 在一个开放的领域在黄昏

To footfalls I awoke 为了脚步我醒来

Marching ants across my temples, oh 行进中的蚂蚁在我的太阳穴哦

Their feet had no intention 他们的脚无意

They followed some magnetic drum 他们跟着一些磁鼓

Prisoners of their destination 他们的目的地囚犯

   

Prom the slats of the factory come PROM工厂的板条来

Where once they did make rails 即一旦他们做出轨

Old death's peculiar songs 老死亡的奇特歌曲

   

He didn't know I was listening 他不知道我在听

So he crowed out nice and long 于是，他就叫了出来好看，长

To the spiders and the lumber and the dust 以蜘蛛和木材和灰尘

Of his conquests and his hunger, his lust 他的征服和他的饥饿感，他的欲望

I heard his feet rejoice 我听说他的脚感到高兴

I heard him tap his cane 我听到他挖掘他的手杖

As if he had his own review 仿佛他有他自己的评论

On stage at the Athenaeum 就在雅典娜阶段

   

I caught his words with my open mouth 我抓住他的话跟我张口

I gagged and choked and spit them out í作呕和窒息然后将它们吐出

I heard him turn as he did hear 我听到他把他没听到

My tiny heartbeat in his ear 在他的耳朵我的小心跳

I was already running 我已经运行

I heard him coming 我听见他来了

Shrapnel spitting from his wheels 从他的车轮飞溅的弹片

His scything arms rake for my heels 他scything武器耙我的高跟鞋

I dove and rolled and hid my face 我刚跳入水中并推出并掩面

And I said these magic words: 我说的这些神奇的话：

   

"My dove is home, her breast is warm, my dove is home" “我的鸽子是家庭，她的乳房是温暖的，我的鸽子是家”

   

I spoke these magic words and 我跟这些咒语

Fell down, down, the anthill 掉了下来，下来，垤

For days 对于天

   

"My dove is home, her breast is warm, my dove is home" “我的鸽子是家庭，她的乳房是温暖的，我的鸽子是家”

"My dove is home, her breast is warm, my dove is home" “我的鸽子是家庭，她的乳房是温暖的，我的鸽子是家”
