| The Paramour | 情人 |
| You had a vision of her | 你幻想着她 |
| on the bed, legs cocked like pistols | 浮现在床上，双腿像手枪般翘起 |
| in a black thong that hardly held a secret. | 黑色丁字裤内难掩悸动 |
| The body beside yours a map to the next one. | 她躺在你的侧旁 |
| 那地图般的身躯 | |
| you felt that old litany | |
| of desire rising like a wave, | 等待着你的探索 |
| foamy in the heart and around the eyes. | 你感觉欲望 |
| 仿若古老的诵经 | |
| 随波飘荡起伏 | |
| 浪花缱绻在心头 | |
| 涌现在眼前 |
