The first thing that happened was the river overflowed 发生在河流溢出的第一件事

The water running through the streets and was sweet and cold 在街上跑水，是味甘性寒

I knelt by the water like a doe by a stream 我跪在水中像母鹿通过流

Punch-drunk, snowblind, as though the whole thing were a bad dream 模糊不清，雪盲，好像整个事情是一场噩梦

   

And then love pulled out the heavy artillery 再爱的人拉出重炮

Kypris took the horses by the bit for the morning ride Kypris拿着马经位，早上搭

I count my blessings, but you can only be expected to count so high 我算我的祝福，但你只能指望指望这么高

When love cuts the strings 当爱切串

   

I smeared myself with pennyroyal to keep the hounds at bay í抹黑自己与薄荷油保持猎犬在海湾

You poked your head out of an alley half a block away 你戳你的头从一条小巷半个街区远

And i recognized you, though i'm not sure how 我认识你，虽然我不知道怎么

And the air turned red around you 和空气变成了红色在你身边

As a dull chill came down over me 作为一个沉闷的冷下来了我

   

And then love summoned up the infantry 再爱的人召集起来的步兵

And the green-eyed goddess got ready for all out war 和绿眼女神准备好了所有的战争

And i'd count my blessings, 而且我算我的祝福，

But i don't even know what the word blessing means 但我不知道这个词是什么祝福方式

When love cuts the strings 当爱切串

Yeah! 是啊！
