Tom Waits – Poor Edward：歌詞+中文翻譯

Tom Waits 用他滄桑，且帶有感嘆意味的嗓音，哀傷的描述一位後腦杓擁有令一張臉的英國男士，Edward Mordake 的一生，在當時醫學不發達的英國社會，「寄生雙胞胎」的案例少之又少。

英文歌詞

中文歌詞

Did you hear the news about Edward?

你聽說過愛德華的故事嗎？

On the back of his head he had another face

在他後腦勺還有另一張臉

Was it a woman’s face or a young girl?

那是女人還是少女的臉孔？

They said to remove it would kill him

他們說除掉她會要了愛德華的小命

So poor Edward was doomed

可憐的愛德華命中注定與之共處

The face could laugh and cry

那張臉會笑會哭

It was his devil twin

那是他的邪惡雙胞胎

And at night she spoke to him

在夜晚裡她會對愛德華說話

Things heard only in hell

說著只在地獄聽得到的事情

But they were impossible to separate

但他倆不可能分離

Chained together for life

一輩子緊緊相繫

Finally the bell tolled his doom

終於他的厄運鐘聲響起

He took a suite of rooms

他進了旅館套房

And hung himself and her from the balcony irons

將他自己和她一起吊死在陽台鐵桿上

Some still believe he was freed from her

有些人相信愛德華終於從她身邊解脫

But I knew her too well

但我太清楚了

I say she drove him to suicide

是她逼得愛德華自殺

And took poor Edward to hell

帶著可憐的愛德華前往地獄
