The Empty Chair - Sting
Written by:Sting/J. Ralph
If I should close my eyes that my soul can see
我是否应该闭上双眼 才能看到我的灵魂
And there's a place at the table that you saved for me
饭桌边总是有你给我预留出的位置
So many thousand miles over land and sea
从陆地到海洋的距离有上千里远
I hope to dare that you hear my prayer
而我有一个不切实际的期望 期望你能够听到我的祈祷
And somehow I'll be there
不管怎样我都会回去
It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay
也许我会躺在冰冷的混凝土地板上
And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay
尽管这监狱的墙面如黏土一样冰冷
But there's a shaft of light where I count my days
但是这里总有一束光亮让我记着日期
So don't despair of the empty chair
所以不要对那空出的椅子感到失望
And somehow I'll be there
不管怎样我都会回去
Some days I'm strong some days I'm weak
有时我坚不可摧 有时我又脆弱不堪
And days I'm so broken I can barely speak
有时我痛苦得几乎说不出话来
There's a place in my head where my thoughts still roam
但是我的想法仍然在我的脑海中咆哮
Somehow I've come home
不管怎样我都会回家
And when the winter comes and the trees lie bare
当冬季来临 树叶落尽
And you just stare out the window in the darkness there
而你凝视着窗外的一片黑暗
Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear
过去的我 每一顿饭总是迟到 那时你会咒骂我
But keep my place and the empty chair
但总是会为我留一个空位
And somehow I'll be there
不管怎样我都会回去
And somehow I'll be there
不管怎样我都会回去
