Joan Baez - Diamonds and Rust


哦好吧
你的鬼魂又来啦
但也没什么奇怪
今晚上是满月
你又打电话过来
我坐在这里
手拿着话筒
听着这个声音
几光年前就熟悉
准备再次掉进去
Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
Its just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
我记得你的眼睛
比知更鸟蛋还蓝
你说我诗写得烂
你从哪儿打过来的
Midwest的电话亭
十年前我
给你买了些袖扣
你送了我点东西
我们都知道回忆
带来钻石和铁锈
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the Midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
你在台上爆发
早就是个传奇
未洗涤的冲击力
真正的浪子
漂流到我的怀抱里
你短短停留
暂时不知道航向
圣母一直在祝福你
那个贝壳上的姑娘
保佑你不受伤
Well, you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes, the girl on the half-shell
Could keep you unharmed
我现在看见你站在纷飞红叶里头发上的雪花
看见你从华盛顿广场的破旅馆里探出头笑
我们的呼吸在空气里像白云一样缠绕
我只是说自己我们那时就这么死去都好
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around and snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me we both could have died then and there
你现在跟我说
你没在怀旧
那你换个说法好了
你最会搞这套
把事情说模糊
而我现在就需要点模糊的
往事来得太清晰
我深深爱过你
你要卖我钻石和铁锈
我已经结了帐了
Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes, I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
