The Animals Were Gone [Damien Rice / 9] Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone 當第一次醒來而動物們不見蹤影 It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong 不確定這般空盪的屋子是否仍是我的歸屬 Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song 昨天你要我為你寫首悅耳的歌 I'll do my best now but you've been gone for so long 現在我將盡力而為,然而你離開太久了 The window's open now and the winter settles in 窗子開了而寒冬入駐 We'll call it christmas when the adverts begin 這時令我們稱它作聖誕節 I love your depression and I love your double chin 我愛你的憂鬱也愛你的雙下巴 I love most everything you bring to this offering 我愛大部份你所帶給我的
I know that I've left you 是我留你獨自承受 In places of despair 使你處於絕望中 I know that I love you 我知道我愛你 So please throw down your hair 因此請擲下你的長髮 At night I trip without you 夜晚我在夢裡獨行 And hope I don't wake up 並希望不曾清醒 'Cause waking up without you 只因醒來而身邊沒有你 Is like drinking from an empty cup 猶如獨飲空杯
Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone 當第一次醒來而動物們不見蹤影 Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone 在時鐘滴答作響而我們的光陰消逝之前 We could get a house and some boxers on the lawn 或許找棟房子,在草坪裡養些狗 We could make babies and accidental songs 生養兒女,偶爾唱首歌 I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool 我知道自己撒了謊,愚昧如我 I hope we didn't break it but I'm glad we broke the rules 希望這一切不曾搞砸但仍慶幸我們打破了規則 My cave is deep now yet your light is shining through 黑暗中你的光芒依舊閃耀 I cover my eyes still all I see is you 遮住雙眼我仍看見你的身影 I know that I've left you 是我留你獨自承受 In places of despair 使你處於絕望中 I know that I love you 我知道我愛你 So please throw down your hair 因此請擲下你的長髮 At night I trip without you 夜晚我在夢裡獨行 And hope I don't wake up 並希望不曾清醒 'Cause waking up without you 只因醒來而身邊沒有你 Is like drinking from an empty cup 猶如獨飲空杯
