“聖特蘭”是由The Stillwater Hobos樂隊於2014年推出的復古風民謠。

Notes on the lyrics: this song is particularly hard to decode, as the motifs in it are bizarre and seemingly random without knowing Catholic tradition.
歌詞注釋：這首歌的歌詞非常難懂，若不參考天主教傳統，其使用的比喻和描寫異常怪誕。
*(1) The novena to St Therese for a rose. Traditionally prayed to receive a sighting of a physical rose at the end of it. 天主教中流傳了一個關於向聖特蘭多日禱告的傳統（非教廷官方擔保認可）， 據説在最後完成的那天，禱告者會看到一朵玫瑰花以示靈驗。
*(2) He received a white rose as opposed to a red one, traditionally associated with being called to the priesthood instead of marriage. 這裏他收到了一朵白玫瑰，而不是紅玫瑰。在上文提到的傳統中，這預兆著他要去當一名神父而不是去結婚。
*(3) "Two little devils dancing on a barrel of lime" is a vision seen by St Therese and described in her autobiography. ”兩個魔鬼在石灰桶上跳舞“是聖德蘭所見過的異象，在她的自傳中有記載。
