《My Dear Country》亲爱的国家

演唱： Norah Jones 诺拉·琼斯

'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out
And everywhere they'd go, they shout
And though I covered my eyes I knew
They'd go away
万圣节前夕，鬼魂复出
它们四处游荡，呼风唤雨
虽然我捂着眼睛
我知道他们终会散去

But fear's the only thing I saw
And three days later 'twas clear to all
That nothing is as scary as
election day.
但我看见到处都充满恐惧
三天过后，才会尘埃落地
没有什么更令人提心吊胆
当人们在参加选举

But the day after is darker
And darker and darker it goes
Who knows, maybe the plans will change
Who knows, maybe he's not deranged
但第二天局势更不明朗
一切都更加扑朔迷离
天知道，也许是计划将发生改变
天知道，可能他还没有歇斯底里

The news men know what they know, but they
Know even less than what they say
And I don't know who I can trust
For they come what may
媒体人自以为无所不知
但他们所知不多却胡言乱语
我不知道还可以相信谁
对他们而言天下大乱才有趣

'cause we believed in our candidate
But even more it's the one we hate
I needed someone I could shake
On election day
我们相信自己的候选人
但我们更需要一个人来解气
我需要某个人当替罪羊
当人们在参加选举

But the day after is darker
And deeper and deeper we go
Who knows, maybe it's all a dream
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream
但第二天局势更不明朗
而我们深陷泥潭难以逃离
天知道，也许这是所有人的噩梦
天知道，我是否会醒来叫声凄厉

I love the things that you've given me
I cherish you my dear country
But sometimes I don't understand
The way we play
我喜欢你给我的东西
亲爱的国家我珍爱你
但有时我不明白
怎样去玩这个游戏

I love the things that you've given me
And most of all that I am free
To have a song that I can sing
On election day
我喜欢你给我的东西
最重要的是，我拥有自由的空气
有一首歌，我可以唱
当人们在参加选举
