英語論壇 Easy English：“流行金曲”大家評（二）

 我聽之我見：Nick Cave 的歌曲往往以表現焦躁不安甚至暴力的情緒著稱，可是這首 Into my arms 卻是娓娓道來，出奇地溫柔，不過或許狂躁過后的溫柔，滄桑背后的真摯，鮮明對比之下的沖擊才更能打動人。詩一般的歌詞，悠揚的旋律，低沉有力的聲音——這種奇妙的組合會穿過骨頭撫摸到我們最柔軟的神經。歌詞構成的三個部分層層深入，縱然是……

  Lyrics 

Into my arms            by Nick Cave

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Oh, not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
If He felt He had to direct you
And  direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
Well, to each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

But I believe in love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So would keep your candles burning
Make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
