The Origin Of Love
When the earth was still flat
And clouds made of fire
And mountains stretched up to the sky
Sometimes higher
Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
They had two sets of arms
They had two sets of legs
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked; while they read
And they never knew nothing of love
It was before the origin of love
The origin of love
爱的缘起
远在地球还是扁的时代，云是火造的
山高得直抵云霄，有时比天还要高
地上出现的人，像个圆球
有两双臂，有两双腿
从一个大头，分出两张面孔
可以一面阅读，一面谈话
他们不知道什么是爱
当时还没有出现
And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back
Called the children of the sun
And similiar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth
They looked like two girls rolled up in one
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon
They were part sun, part earth, part daughter, part son
The origin of love
当时人类有三种性别，
一种像两个男人，背对背黏在一起
他们叫太阳之子
跟他们外型差不多的是，大地之女
他们像合而为一得两个女子
然后是月亮的子女
像叉子和汤匙的合体
他们一半是太阳，一半是大地
一半是女，一半是男
Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said “I’m gonna kill them all with my hammer
Like I killed the giants”
And Zeus said “No
You better let me use my lightning like scissors
Like I cut the legs off the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards”
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh
Said “I’ll split them right down the middle
Gonna cut them right up in half”
And the storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire.
诸神对我们的力量与不屑，愈来愈忌讳
雷神说：我要用斧头劈死他们，像我劈死巨人一样
不过电神说：让我出手吧，
我要用剪刀似的电光把人剪下去
像我剪断鲸鱼的腿一样
像我把恐龙剪成蜥蜴一样
然后他抓起电光，笑着说：
我要从正中，把他们一分为二
And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts
Like shining blades of a knife
And it ripped right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun and the moon
And the earth
And some Indian god sewed the would up
Into a hole
Pulled it ’round to our bellies
To remind us the price we pay
And Osiris and the gods of the nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane
To scatter us away
And a sea of tidal waves
To wash us all away
And if we don’t behave
They’ll cut us down again
We’ll be walking around on one foot
And looking through one eye
于是天上乌云遍布，云团变成火球
火球化为电光，像闪亮的刀锋
从天上划下来
插入太阳之子肉体中，
然后是月亮，然后是大地
某位印度神，把伤口缝合成一个洞
拉入我们的肚中，用来提醒我们所付出的代价
奥西理斯与尼罗河诸神
大施法力并召来飓风来吹散我们
呼风唤雨并卷起巨浪来冲走我们
假如我们不听话，会再次劈开我们
劈得我们剩下一条脚拐着走
只能用一只眼去看东西。
The last time I saw you
We had just split in two
You were looking at me
I was looking at you
You had a way so familiar
But I could not recognize
’cause you had blood in your face
And I had blood in my eyes
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine
That’s the pain
That cuts a straight line down through the heart
We call it love
So we wrapped our arms around each other
Trying to shove ourselves back together
We were making love
Making love
It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago
When by the might hand of Jove
It was a sad story how we became
Lonely two-legged creatures
It’s the story
The origin of love
That’s the origin of love
上次见到你时
我们刚刚一分为二
我正望着你，你也望着我
你对我而言，既熟悉却又陌生
因为你脸上有血，而我眼睛有血
但透过你的神情，
我确信你灵魂深处的痛楚
也正是我灵魂深处的痛楚
那种贯穿心脏的苦痛
我们称之为爱
我们相拥相抱，设法合二为一
于是我们做爱.做爱
那是个又冷又黑的夜晚
是许久以前的事
朱比特强壮的手所塑造的悲剧
于是我们变成孤独的两脚动物
这就是爱的根源
爱的根源
