Wise men once said
智者曾说过
"Wild winds are death to the candle"
狂风会让蜡烛燃烧殆尽
A rose by any other name is a scandal
倘若玫瑰换作另一个名字 无异于是流言蜚语
Cautions issued he stood
早已发出警告 他站在原地
Shooting the messengers
斩杀信使
They tried to warn him about her
他们试图提醒他 时刻提防着她
Cross your thoughtless heart
对着你那颗轻率的心发誓
Only liquor anoints you
唯有烈酒能让你散发着神圣的气息
She's the albatross
她是招致灾祸的信天翁
She is here to destroy you
她此行的目的 只为毁灭你
"One bad seed kills the garden"
一颗败坏的种子让花园蒙受灭顶之灾
"One less temptress
少遇到一位诱惑迷人的女子
One less dagger to sharpen"
那就会少一把需要打磨的匕首
Locked me up in towers
把我锁在高塔之中
But I'd visit in your dreams
但我会造访你的梦境
And they tried to warn you about me
他们试图提醒你 时刻提防着我
Devils that you know
你熟知的恶魔
Raise worse hell than a stranger
比陌生人更能造成可怕的影响
She's the death you chose
她是你选择的死神
You're in terrible danger
你的处境岌岌可危
And when that sky rains fire on you
当天空向你倾泻烈火
And you're persona non grata
你将会沦为众人排斥的对象
I'll tell you how I've been there too
我会告诉你我经历过同样的事情
And that none of it matters
然而这一切无关紧要
Wise men once read fake news
智者曾看过虚假新闻
And they believed it
他们对此深信不疑
Jackals raised their hackles
豺狼勃然大怒
You couldn't conceive it
你无法想象
You were sleeping soundly when they dragged you from your bed
当他们把你从床榻上拖走时 你酣睡正香
And I tried to warn you about them
我试图提醒你 时刻提防着他们
So I crossed my thoughtless heart
所以我对着这颗轻率的心发誓
Spread my wings like a parachute
张开翅膀 就像降落伞一样
I'm the albatross
我是招致灾祸的信天翁
I swept in at the rescue

The devil that you know

Looks now more like an angel
现在看起来更像是纯洁的天使
I'm the life you chose
我是你选择的人生
And all this terrible danger
面临着所有这些严重的威胁
This terrible danger
这种可怕的危险
So cross your thoughtless heart
所以对着你那颗轻率的心发誓
