歌词
如果你仔细观察古老伦敦的街道
You know, if you look at the old street system in almost any area
特别是中心城区的街道
certainly of central London
仍然可以看到以前的巷子和曲折杂乱的小街区
you still see the little alleyways and little twisty little pieces
这只是多年的城市规划叠加在一起的结果
Just a hotchpotch of planning over the years
伦敦的主体结构早已形成
It gives me a feeling of change because the skeleton was laid down
从而更能让我体会到这种渐变的过程
years and years and years ago
大体构架还清晰可见
you can still see the shape there
我想可能永远也无法抹去
and shape, presumably, will stay there forever
每一代人都试图在这座城中盖上自己的标记
each generation has tried to put it a stamp on it
纵观历史
Throughout history
很多人都曾尝试维护伦敦街道的美观与秩序
many have tried to impose beauty and order on London's streets
这座城市一次又一次证明着自己
But this city has discovered time after time
它的个性始终深埋在桀骜不羁的天性中
its true character lies in its unplanned, chaotic nature
几个世纪以来 伦敦多次被大火烧毁
London has burned many times across the centuries
