歌词
Joni Mitchell
It fell from midnight skies
它在午夜的天空落下
It drummed on the galvanized
敲打镀锌的盆盆罐罐
In the washroom, women tracked the rain
盥洗室里 女人们临着雨水
Up to the make-up mirror
走到化妆镜前去
Liquid soap and grass
洗手液 青草香气
And Jungle Gardenia crash
和热带栀子花的气味
On Pine-Sol and beer ...
与清洁剂和啤酒交杂
It's stifling in here ...
这里面太酝闷
I've got to get some air ...
我该呼吸新鲜空气
I'm going outside to get some air
我该到外头去透透气
Back in my hometown
回说到我的家乡
They would have cleared the floor
人们会将地面清扫空旷
Just to watch the rain come down!
只为了静静看雨滴落下来
They're such sky oriented people--
他们这群倚仗上天的人啊
Geared to changing weather ...
巧应着天气变幻
I'm floating off in time
我在时光之中漂流
I'm floating off
漂流
I'd beat the drum
I'm floating off in time
漂流在时光之间
When I was three feet tall
在我只三尺高的年纪
And wide eyed open to it all
我瞪大双眼感知整个世界
With their tasseled teams they came
每当那群流苏军团来到
To McGee's General Store
麦基的百货商铺前
All in their beaded leathers
它们身着镶珠的皮革
I would tie on colored feathers
我会系上五彩的羽毛
And I'd beat the drum like war ...
把鼓敲得斗志激昂
I would beat the drum like war
把鼓敲得斗志激昂
But when the church got through
但当礼拜结束之后
They traded their beads for bottles
他们用身上的玉珠换一瓶瓶美酒——
Smashed--on Railway Avenue
被敲碎——在铁路大道上
And they cut off their braids
他们剪去了辫子
And lost some link with nature
切断了与自然的纽带
I'm floating into dreams
我漂浮于梦境之中
I'm floating off
漂浮
I'm floating into my dreams
在我的梦境里漂浮
I dream paprika plains
我梦见红辣椒平原
Vast and bleak and God forsaken
广袤 荒凉 被上帝遗忘
Paprika plains
红辣椒平原
And a turquoise river snaking
松绿色的大河盘踞蛇行
The rain retreats
雨渐渐退却
Like troops to fall on other fields and streets
像兵团散入到了别处的田野街巷
Meanwhile they're sweet talking and name calling
伴着它们甜蜜的呢喃挑逗
And brawling on the fringes of the floor
和屋檐下地面的啁嘈声
I spot you through the smoke
透过烟雾 我看见了你
With your eyes on fire
和你燃起的双眼
From J&B and coke
——强生、可口可乐
As I'm coming through the door
穿过这扇门
I'm coming back
我回来了！
I'm coming back for more!
我又回来了！
The band plugs in again
乐队又插上了电
You see that mirrored ball begin to sputter lights
你会看到玲珑的灯球开始抛下炫目的光
And spin
旋转着
Dizzy on the dancers
晕光中的舞者们
Geared to changing rhythms
巧应着节奏变换
No matter what you do
无论你在做什么
I'm floating back
我都要回到
I'm floating back to you!
我要回到你身边！
