歌词
当我漫步在我一直魂牵梦绕的城市中
As I walk through the streets of my new city
我私觉脊背已痊愈许多
My back feeling much better, I suppose
我已改造了我幻想的奇妙能力
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
好坏仍不得而知
For better or for worse, I've yet to know
但我一向坚信你会是我的知音
But I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
我猜那就是为什么事情花了那么久才好转
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
突然我陷入迷离
Suddenly I'm lost
在这大街上 在这街区里
On my streetOn my block
噢为何 为何
Oh why, Oh why
为何你不为我而等待
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
莫非你看不到 这次我已失去本心
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
我的双眼看来是这样的
I think it's for real, I can see
树叶褪入深秋的赭红
The tops of trees are turning red
酒窖旁的乞丐冲我咧嘴笑
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
我想他们一定各有所求
I think they want something
我闭上眼 告诉自己深呼吸
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
随之平静下来
And be calm.
平静下来
Be calm.
我知道你此刻正分崩离析
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
我知道有时候也会万念俱灰
I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
镇静下来
Be calm.
我害怕每个人都想从我这捞到好处
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
“你这两天和我说话之前会突然停下来”
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
“我总是看到你盯着窗外看”
"I always see you looking out your window."
“毕竟你失去了你的乐队，也离开了你的妈妈”
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
如今我跨过的每一条裂缝，路过的每一分钱
Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,
都喃喃说道我可以大步离开或是捡起继续生活
Says I should either leave or pick it up
但随我赚的每个硬币而来的是
But with every single buck I've made
与我密不可分的厄运
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
那些我经受考验的时刻
The moment I was baptized
以及我发现我终有一天会离去的时刻
Or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
但愿我能找到生命中的那些人或者自己的位置
If only I could find my people or my place in life
并且当他们颂唱着走来
A when they come a'carolin'
那响亮辉煌的弗莱明琴声
So loud, so bright, the theremin
将让我们所有人一齐开口唱
Will lead us to a chorus
我们欢喜的唱出这样一首歌
Where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
冷静下来
Oh be calm.
冷静下来
Be calm.
我知道你感觉正在分崩离析
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
我知道有时候也会万念俱灰
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
先冷静下来。
Be calm.
听我一句 我已一千次处在这样的境况里
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
你痛恨你心脏的跳动因为它让你感觉到生机
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
没有一件事情让你顺心
And everything's wrong
有时候生活就是如此困难
It just gets so hard sometimes
暂且镇静下来
Be calm.
我对那个夜晚记忆逐渐消退
I don't remember much that night,
只记得我漫步中无限思念着你
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
想着现在一定不是最坏的局面
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
那时街角一阵音乐飘荡过来
When from that street corner came a song
我也几近忘记了那个男人
And I can't remember the man,
那个乞丐或他的灵魂之律
The panhandler or his melody.
我们交换的话语远超所有我为你带来的改变
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
所以平静下来
Oh be calm.
平静下来
Be calm.
我知道你正感觉四分五裂
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
我也知道那些时候希望破灭
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
只需镇静下来
Be calm.
相信我吧我已千万次走过这条路
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
你痛恨让你感到生机的脉搏
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
世上所有事情都失去意义
And everything's wrong
但生活有时就是这样
It just gets so hard sometimes
镇静下来。
Be calm...
