Casey's Last Ride - Kris Kristofferson
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by:Kris Kristofferson
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
凯西汇入人群,伴着死寂的余音向下走去
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below
拾级而下,步入地铁深处的阴影
Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors
循着他们的足迹,穿过霓虹明灭的幽暗长廊
Of silent desperation never speakin' to a soul
满载无声的绝望,不曾与任何灵魂交谈
The poison air he's breathin' has the dirty smell of dying
他呼吸的有毒空气,透着死亡的腐朽气息
'Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
因它从未见过阳光,也从未沾染过雨露
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
凯西只顾盯着指引箭头,无视了那宿命的回响
Of the clickin' of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains
听那闸机扣响,还有他宿命枷锁的震颤
Oh she said Casey it's been so long since I've seen you
“噢,”她呢喃道,“凯西,好久没见到你了”
Here she said just a kiss to make a body smile
“来吧,”她说,“只需一吻,便能换来片刻欢愉”
See she said I've put on new stockings just to please you
“瞧,”她说,“我换上了新丝袜,只为讨你欢心”
Lord she said Casey can you only stay a while
“老天,”她呢喃道,“凯西,你只能停留片刻吗?”
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
凯西离开地下,步入那间金冠酒馆
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bone
寻些杯中物,好涤荡那彻骨的寒意
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
在众生孤独的命途中,照见了自己的倒影
Who reach for any thing they can to keep from goin' home
他们抓紧一切救命稻草,只为迟滞归途
Standin' in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter
独守角落,凯西将那杯苦啤一饮而尽
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
从不看向镜中,亦不理会匆匆而过的人群
Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
离去时他脚步踉跄,暗自思忖这缘由
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
是腹中的残酒作祟,还是眼角的泪水决堤
Oh she said I suppose you seldom think about me
“噢,”她呢喃道,“想必你很少会想起我”
Now she said now that you've a family of your own
“如今,”她说,“既然你已成家立业”
Still she said it's so blessed good to feel your body
“但,”她呢喃道,“能感受你的体温,终归是好的”
Lord she said Casey it's a shame to be alone
“老天,”她呢喃道,“凯西,形单影只真是种罪”
