My brother Esau killed a hunter 我哥哥以扫杀猎人

And before the killing was done, 和之前的杀戮做，

His inheritance was mine. 他继承了我的。

But his birthright was a wand to wave 但他长子的名分是一个魔杖挥舞

Before a weary band. 疲惫的带过。

Esau gave me sleeplessness 以扫给我失眠

And a piece of moral land. 和一块道德的土地。

   

My father favored Esau, 我父亲偏爱以扫，

Who was eager to obey 谁是渴望服从

The Old Man shot his way. 老男人拍他的去路。

But all this favor ended 不过，这一切有利于结束

When my brother failed at war. 当我的哥哥没有处于战争状态。

He staggered home 他摇摇晃晃回家

Esau skates on mirrors anymore... 以扫上镜溜冰鞋了...

He meets his pale reflection at the door. 他遇见了他在门口苍白的反映。

Yet sometimes at night I dream 然而，有时晚上我梦见

He's still that hairy man, 他仍然是毛的，

I would say that the blame is mine 我会说，这只能怪是我的

The more my brother looks like me, 越哥哥看起来像我，

The less I understand 我越明白

The silent war that bloodied both our hands. 无声的战争流血我们两个的手。
