When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher,
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs.
They had two sets of arms.
They had two sets of legs.
They had two faces peering out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked; while they read.
And they never knew nothing of love.
It was before the origin of love.
The origin of love
And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun.
And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth.
They looked like two girls rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son.
The origin of love
Now the gods grew quite scared of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
”I’m gonna kill them all with my hammer,
Like I killed the giants.”
And Zeus said, ”No,you better let me
Use my lightening, like scissors,
Like I cut the legs off the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards.”
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,Said,
”I’ll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half.”
And then storm clouds gathered above into great balls of fire
And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts
Like shining blades of a knife.
And it ripped right through the flesh of the children of the sun
And the moon and the earth.
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay.
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
And if we don’t behave
They’ll cut us down again
And we’ll be hopping round on one foot
And looking through one eye.
Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,but I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That’s the pain,cuts a straight line down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It’s the story of
The origin of love.
That’s the origin of love.
遠在地球還是扁的時代
雲是火造的
山高得直抵雲宵
有時候比天還高
地上出現的人
像個大桶
有兩對臂
有兩對腿
從一個大頭凸出兩張面孔
於是他們可以四處張望
可以一面閱讀 一面談話
他們不知道什麼是愛
當時還沒有出現愛的根源
愛的根源
當時有三種性別
一種像兩個男人
背對背黏在一起
他們叫太陽之子
跟他們外型差不多的
是大地之女
他們像兩個女子 合而為一
然後是月亮的子女
像叉和湯匙的合體
他們一半是太陽 一半是大地
一半是女 一半是男
愛的根源
諸神對我們的力量與不羈愈來愈忌憚
雷神說：
我要用捶子捶死他們
像我捶死巨人
不過電神宙斯說：不，讓我出手吧
我要用剪刀似的電光剪下去
像我剪斷鯨角的腿一樣
像我把恐龍剪成蜥蜴一樣
然後他抓起電光
笑著說：
我要從正中
把他們一分為二
於是天上烏雲遍佈 雲團變成火球
火球化為電光從天上劈下來
像閃亮的刀鋒
一插插入太陽之子肉體中
然後是月亮 然後是大地
某位印度神祇
把傷口縫合成一個洞
拉入我們的肚中
用來提醒我們所付出的代價
奧西里斯與尼羅河諸神
大施法力
召來颶風
吹散我們
呼風喚雨
捲起巨浪
沖走我們
假如我們不聽話
會再斬我們
斬得我們剩下一條腳拐著走
一隻眼去看東西
上次見到你的時候
我們剛剛一分為二
你在望著我
我在望著你
你對我來說既熟悉又陌生
因為你臉上有血
我眼中有血
不過 從你的神情
我確信你靈魂深處的苦楚
也是我靈魂深處的苦楚
那種 直插心臟 貫穿心臟的苦楚
我們稱之為愛
所以我們相擁相抱
設法合二為一
我們在做愛 做愛
那是個又冷又黑的晚上
是許久以前的事
邱比特強壯的手
塑造的悲劇
我們這樣就變成
孤獨的兩腳動物
那就是愛的根源的故事
愛的根源
那就是愛的根源

我愛死這部電影和它所有的音樂
每一首的歌詞都讓你聽見這位變性人的呼喊
取出我最喜歡的兩首
與大家分享
The Origin Of Love
我第一次看到三性別這個觀點是在這首歌裡
後來才去找了柏拉圖的會飲篇來看
寫得太好了
真的
所以人和人才需要用各種不同的型式相愛
只是為了找到自己的唯一
唯一的
另一半
