歌词
Up and down the old homestead
在这旧农场四周
The naked rider gallops through his head
赤身的骑手在农场上疾驰 乐晕了头
And although the moon isn't full
当月亮未满
He still feels the pull.
这骑手仍抓紧缰绳
Out on the floor where the cowboys dance
牛仔们在屋外的地板上起舞
Approaching slowly at a glance
他靠近轻瞥一眼
Here comes the shadow of his stance
光缓缓投下他身姿迁移的幻影
The rains are fallin' from his hands.
雨水从他手心滴落
Why do you ride that crazy horse?
骑手啊？为何跨上那匹疯马？
Inquires the shadow with little remorse
带着些怜惜他问自己的影子
Just then a priest comes down the stairs
倏忽牧师走下楼
With a sack of dreams and old nightmares.
带着一麻袋陈旧的美梦和噩梦
Who are you, the rider says
骑手问，你是谁？
You dress in black but you talk like a fed
你身着黑袍却满嘴胡言
You spout ideas from books that you read
你滔滔不绝的演讲你书中读到的思想
Don't you care about this guy's head?
你关心眼前之人的思想么？
Just then the sound of hoofbeats was heard
随后蹄声响起
And the sky was darkened by a prehistoric bird
天空被一只在月亏时翱翔的
Who flew between the unfulfilled moon
古老的鸟染黑
And the naked rider, to a telephone booth.
赤身的骑手走向公共电话亭
We'll call the moon and see what's up
打个电话给月亮看看会怎么样
I've got some change in this little tin cup
我已预见一些小小的改变
We'll say that the shadow is growin' dim
他的影子已变得昏暗
And we need some light to get back to him
他需要一些光明返归他身上
Just one call should do it all
一个电话应该能解决
I'll carve this number on the wall
我将把电话号码刻在墙上
With my beak.
用我的喙
Flying feathers were all around
羽毛四飞
The air was filled with a ringing sound.
周围充斥着铃声
Two more birds, the second and the third
第二只鸟，第三只，第四只
Came down from the sky to deliver the word.
从天际降落 传达消息
Where have you been, they said to the first
你去哪了，他们问第一只鸟
Get back to the clouds, we're dying of thirst
回到云里罢 我们要被渴死了
There's not enough time to make that call
已来不及打电话
Let's ditch this rider, shadow and all.
我们放弃这个骑手，他的影子，以及其他罢
The sky was filled with the beautiful birds
天空布满美丽的鸟
Still on the ground some crying was heard
地面上哭声依稀可闻
With his dime in his hand and his hand on the dial
他一手拿着硬币，一手放在拨号盘上
His ears were sweating as he forced a smile.
他耳朵渗出汗珠，他强挤出一个笑容
Hoofbeats beating across the range
蹄声响彻山际
He rode through the night with his cup of change
他带着他的预言茶杯穿过黑夜
Tired and beaten he fell into slumber
精疲力竭的沉入了睡眠
But up in the sky they still had his number.
天空之上鸟儿们保存着他要的数字
Up and down the old homestead
旧农场四周
The naked rider gallops through his head
骑手疾驰，乐晕了头
And although the moon isn't full
尽管月亮未圆
He still feels the pull,
他依旧感觉着缰绳
Still feels the pull...
他牵着缰绳
