Tapestry (Live) - Carole King
My life has been a tapestry
我的生命曾是一个
Of rich and royal hue;
有着华贵色彩的绣帷
An everlasting vision
千变万化的物像
Of the ever-changing view;
已化成永恒
A wond'rous woven magic
蓝色金色的点缀
In bits of blue and gold;
奇异编织的魔术
A tapestry to feel and see;
你只可去知觉去观赏
Impossible to hold
而无法紧紧抓住
Once amid the soft silver
瞬间四面的蓝天布满了
Sadness in the sky
闪着银光而轻盈的忧愁
There came a man of fortune;
是那位幸运的男子
A drifter passing by
偶然经过的流浪者
He wore a torn and tattered cloth
他的皮夹克里的是
Around his leathered hide
那褴褛的衣衫
And a coat of many colors;
而衬在内的另一面
Yellow green on either side
则是黄的绿的 五彩斑斓
He moved with some uncertainty
他也许并不知道
As if he didn't know
他如此的不安
Just what he was there for
为何他来
Or where he ought to go
要往哪探寻
Once he reached for something
当他想要抓住
Golden hanging from a tree
那树上金黄的果实
And his hand came down emp-ty
双手空空 一无所获
Soon within my tapestry
不久后 我的绣帷
Along the rutted road
沿着那车辙道路飘飞
He sat down on a river rock
他坐在了河边的岩石上
And turned into a toad
忽然变成一只蟾蜍
It seemed that he had fallen
如今他似乎陷入了
Into someone's wicked spell
一个邪恶的诅咒
And I wept to see him suffer
我看着他受苦而哭泣
Though I didn't know him well
不知他的处境
As I watched in sorrow
当我注视着他
There suddenly appeared
在黯然之中
A figure gray and ghostly
一个银灰色的影子
Beneath a flowing beard
长满胡须的幽灵飘过
In times of deepest darkness
在我最为忧郁的时光之中
I've seen him dressed in black
我见到他穿着一袭黑色
Now my tapestry's unraveling;
现在我的绣帷揭开了
He's come to take me back
他要来接我回家
He's come to take me back
他要来接我回家
