威廉古堡


藤蔓植物
爬满了伯爵的坟墓
古堡里一片荒芜
长满杂草的泥土

不会骑扫把的胖女巫
用拉丁文念咒语啦啦呜
她养的黑猫笑起来像哭
啦啦啦呜
用水晶球替人占卜

她说下午三点阳光射进教堂的角度
能知道你前世是狼人还是蝙蝠
古堡主人威廉二世满脸的络腮胡
习惯在吸完血后开始打呼
管家是一只会说法语举止优雅的猪
吸血前会念约翰福音做为弥补
拥有一双蓝色眼睛的凯萨琳公主
专吃有ab血型的公老鼠

恍恍惚惚是谁的脚步
银制茶壶装蟑螂蜘蛛
辛辛苦苦全家怕日出
白色蜡烛温暖了空屋


For those who are effectively monolingual, this song is about this spooky family that lives in a castle - William the 2nd who likes to nap after having his blood meal, the housekeeper who's a sophisticated french-speaking pig that reads the gospel of John before he feeds on blood, and Princess Catherine who loves eating male rats with AB blood types. Oh, and there's also a fat witch that is able to tell you whether you were a werewolf or bat in your past life by observing shadows. Remember this song was written in 2001 (for his second album, when he'd already received critical and popular acclaim) - almost ten years ago, when almost all mandarin songs were about love, love and more love. Unrequited love, fiery passionate love, first love, dead loves, multiple loves, heartbreak from love. And here comes a random fantasy, horror-humor sorta song out of nowhere, composed/produced by Jay and written by an ex-electronics repairman. You may be suitably impressed now.
