第一天我见到她，我知道就是她
As she stared in my eyes and smiled

For her lips were the colour of the roses

That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room

My trembling subsided [v.下沉, 沉淀, 平息, 减退, 衰减] in his sure embrace

He would be my first man, and with a careful hand

He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

For my name was Elisa Day
我的名字是Elisa Day

第三天他带我到河边
He showed me the roses and we kissed

And the last thing I heard was a muttered word

As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow

And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief

As I kissed her goodbye, I said, All beauty must die

And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day
我的名字是Elisa Day
不看歌词大概不会想到这样柔情无比的对唱竟是关于美丽和谋杀吧。
阴郁的Nick cave，在这首歌里以这样的温柔来演绎哥特.大学时初听这首歌呆了一下...
