Ballad Of The Unsent Letter - The Moffatts
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
He said 'We've never been so far apart
As we have right now
But then again doll
We've never been closer '
我们从未如此靠近
She said 'No distance
她说:“无论距离多远
Place or time could ever make me love you less
无论时间多久,都无法减少我对你的爱
My smile's a song and you are my composer '
我的笑容如歌,而你是我生命的作曲家
She was in Namibia sleeping underneath the stars
她在纳米比亚,在星空下安睡
With the lion's roar and guinea fowls a-hooting
伴随着狮子的咆哮和珍珠鸡的啼鸣
He was in the USA and running out of cash
他在美国,却身无分文
He'd been robbed and he'd overheard a shooting
他曾被抢劫,还目睹了一场枪击
One night he wrote a letter to explain his inside out
那一夜,他写了一封信,倾诉内心的所有
His heart was heavy and somehow he had to vent it
他的心情沉重,不得不宣泄
So he filled some motel stationery
于是他在旅馆的信纸上
With words he couldn't say
写下了那些无法说出口的话
Kissed the envelope but never even sent it
他吻了信封,却始终没有寄出
He'd claim that he was scared
他声称自己害怕
That it would get lost in the post
信会在邮寄中丢失
In truth he lacked assertiveness and courage
事实上,他缺乏自信和勇气
Maybe he'd made promises he wasn't sure he'd keep
或许他曾许下无法确定的承诺
And he was terrified of fatherhood and marriage
他对父亲的身份和婚姻感到恐惧
But he kept the letter tucked inside a book he never read
但他将那封信藏在一本从未读过的书中
And back in Glasgow he unpacked and soon he found it
回到格拉斯哥后,他打开行李,很快找到了它
So he delivered it right
于是他亲手将它送达
There into the hands where it belonged
交到它真正归属的手中
And said 'I'm yours
并说道:“我是你的
And now I know there's no way round it
如今我明白,我已无法逃避。”
I've fallen out of bars in all the Western World
我曾游历西方世界的每个角落
Gazed drunkenly at stars as my wanderlust unfurled
醉眼朦胧地仰望星空,漫游的渴望在心中绽放
I've lain in countless cots
我曾在无数床榻上躺下
But I've slept in very few
却很少真正安眠
My mind and back's in knots
我的思绪与身心都纠缠不清
But every night I dreamt of you
但每个夜晚,我都梦见了你
And now I'm home
如今,我终于回到了家
