call on that saint 呼吁那些圣人

and the candle that burns 和蜡烛，燃烧

keeping her safe 让她安全

until her return 直到她的回归

   

plaster and paint 石膏和油漆

holding the fire 拿着火

a poor woman's saint 一个可怜的女人的圣人

holding all man's desire 所有持有人的欲望

   

bold little bird 大胆的小鸟

fly away home 飞走的家

could I but ride herd 我能骑，但从众

on the wind and the foam 关于风和泡沫

   

all of the souls 所有的灵魂

that curl by the fire 那卷曲的火

they never know 他们永远不知道

all man's desire 所有男人的欲望

   

watercress clings 豆瓣紧贴

to the banks of the stream 该流的银行

in the first grip of spring 在春天的第一握柄

when the snow melts to green 当雪融化为绿色

   

barefoot and cold 赤脚冷

and holding a lyre 并拿着竖琴

by the side of the road 靠马路的一边

holding all man's desire 所有持有人的欲望

   

call on the saint 呼吁圣人

when the white candle burns 当白色的蜡烛燃烧

keeping her safe 让她安全

until her return 直到她的回归
