A Night This Side Of Dying - Carole King
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I remember one young sister with rainbows in her eyes
我记得一个眼中闪烁着彩虹的少女
Standing on a corner with the afternoon's supply
她站在街角,手中握着下午的供给
She spoke of other places perhaps a better road
她谈论着其他地方,或许是一条更好的路
Then she asked if I could tell her where they kept the mother lode
然后她问我是否能告诉她宝藏藏在哪里
Like a night this side of dying
就像濒死前的夜晚
Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf
她的日子被困在架子上的滴管里
When she hears her lifeline crying
当她听到生命线的呼唤
Not a thing you say can stop her
你说什么也无法阻止她
When she just can't stop herself
当她无法自控时
I remember that July the panic and the heat
我仍记得那个七月,恐慌与酷热交织
The savage shine of summer the strychnine in the street
夏日的狂野光芒,街头的毒药
The way they sold each other for a favor in glassine
他们为了一纸恩惠,彼此出卖
The best of friends sold brothers for a dime of quinine dreams
最亲密的朋友,为了一角钱的奎宁梦,背叛兄弟
Like a night this side of dying
就像濒死前的夜晚
Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf
她的日子被困在架子上的滴管里
Like the shelter she's been buying
如同她一直购买的庇护所
Not a thing I've got can save her
我无能为力 无法拯救她
When she just can't save herself
当她连自己都无法拯救
She just can't save herself
她连自己都无法拯救
