歌词
]The sellers of flowers
卖花小贩
Buy up old roses
收购旧玫瑰
They pull off dead petals
剥下枯萎的花瓣
Like old heads of lettuce
如同老去的莴苣
And sell ’em as new ones
再当作新花卖出
For cheaper and fairer
号称价廉物美
But they die by the morning
可它们清晨就死去了
So who is the winner?
谁是赢家呢
Not the roses
不是玫瑰
Not the buyers
不是买家
Not the sellers
不是商贩
Maybe winter
也许是冬天吧
Cause winter is coming
因为冬天正赶来
Soon after summer
紧随夏的脚步
It runs faster, faster
它跑得越来越快
Chasing off Autumn
追过了秋天
We go from a warm sun to only a white sun
我们经历了暖阳 来到苍白的太阳下
We go from a large sun to only a small one
我们经历了暖阳 来到苍白的太阳下
When I was a small girl I walked through the market
我还是小女孩儿时 走过集市
Holding my dad’s hand, mitten in gloved hand
抓住爸爸的手 连指手套被分指手套握着
At night there were roses lit up in glass boxes
在夜晚就有玫瑰在玻璃盒子里亮起来
The heat-lamps would keep them from freezing in winter
发热的灯使它们不至在冬天冻住
We never bought them but somebody must have
这不是我们买的 买者一定另有其人
Maybe they made it or maybe they froze up
也许它们熬过去了 也许冻住了
Before any person had put them in water
没来得及被任何人放入隆冬
And hoped that they’d still be alive by the morning
期许着它们活到清晨
Who’s the winner?
谁是赢家呢
Not the roses
不是玫瑰
Not the buyers
不是顾客
Not the sellers

Not the tellers
不是叙述者
Of these stories
不是那讲故事的人
Not the fathers
不是父亲
Not their children
不是孩子
Not those waking
不是那些突然醒来的人
On a dark night
在漆黑的夜晚
Through a memory
穿过记忆
They’re forgetting
逐渐遗忘
Who’s the winner? Who’s the winner?
谁是赢家？谁是赢家？
Maybe winter, maybe winter
也许是冬天 也许是冬天
Somebody steps on a light through a tunnel
有人踏上光束 穿过隧道
They’re holding a piece of their mind in the rubble
他们在瓦砾中仍紧攥自己的思想
Hold on I won’t let go
抓紧 我不会放手
I want to know
我想知道
可没有人活得够久
But no one lives long enough
能看到结果
To see the outcome
能知道哪怕一点答案
To know any answers
能明晓什么意义
To know what the point is
能知道冬天是否
To know if the winter
曾靠近
Ever came closer
比那个晚上还要近
Than on that night
当我和父亲走着
When I walked with my father
一小块冰
A small piece of ice
卡在了我的手里
Lodged in my mind
卡在我的脑子里 卡在我的眼睛里
Lodged in my thoughts, lodged in my eyes
四周严寒 四周严寒
Cold all around, cold all around
内心温暖 内心温暖
Warm from inside, warm from inside
谁是赢家呢
Who’s the winner?
不是玫瑰
Not the roses
不是买家
Not the buyers
不是小贩

在这漆黑的夜
On a dark night

Through a memory
渐渐遗忘
They’re forgetting
谁是赢家 谁是赢家
Who’s the winner? Who’s the winner?
也许是冬天吧 也许是冬天
Maybe winter, maybe winter
谁是赢家 谁是赢家
Who’s the winner? Who’s the winner?
也许是冬天 也许是冬天
Maybe winter, maybe winter
谁是赢家呢 谁是赢家呢
Who’s the winner? Who’s the winner?
