Written by:Gordon Lightfoot
Step inside my tent said she I'd like to read you palm
她轻唤我进帐篷 说要为你解读掌纹
Leave the dollar in the jar this won't take very long
将银币投入罐中 片刻便知天命吉凶
Leave the circus noise behind close your eyes relax your mind
暂别喧嚣马戏团 闭目凝神且放松
I'll tell you if you should quit now or if you should go on
我会指引迷途者 是该坚持或转头
Then I said now what do ya see
我追问未来景象
She said deed lee dumb deed lee Dee
她呢喃古老咒语
Where I go what I be
预言我漂泊何方
She said deed lee dumb deed lee dee
她念叨着神秘的咒语
She threw some sawdust in the air and her hands began to shake
她将锯末抛向空中 双手开始颤抖
She told me the town where I was born she almost knew the date
她几乎准确说出了我的出生地和日期
She lit a candle with her eyes and then she made the table rise
她用目光点燃蜡烛 又让桌子凭空升起
She took the dollar from the jar and then she guessed my weight
她从罐中取走钞票 接着猜中了我的体重
Then I said now what do ya see
我追问未来景象
She said deed lee dumb deed lee dee
她念叨着神秘的咒语
You are so old you are so wise
你如此年长 又如此睿智
deed lee dumb deed lee dy
嘀嗒嘀 嘀嗒嘀
Give me a sign tell it to me
给我一个预兆 告诉我吧
She said deed lee dumb deed lee dee
她念叨着神秘的咒语
Then she spoke most quietly
随后轻声细语道来
deed lee dumb deed lee dee
嘀嗒嘀 嘀嗒嘀
When you we a child at school they taught you quite a lot
当你还是个学童时 他们教你许多道理
You were told when you should speak and when you should not
告诉你何时该开口 何时该沉默
You were taught to read and write to take your lessons home at night
教你读写认字 每晚带着功课回家
A little knowledge serves you well but the golden rule does not
一知半解尚可自保 但金科玉律未必可靠
Then I said now what do ya see
我追问未来景象
She said deed lee dumb deed lee dee
她念叨着神秘的咒语
Where I go what I be
预言我漂泊何方
She said deed lee dumb deed lee dee
她念叨着神秘的咒语
Then when I came home that night to lie in bed awake
当深夜归家辗转难眠时
I thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had said
那吉普赛老妇的谶语萦绕心头
And now I see with due respect the more we learn the worse we get
如今我方明白 学得愈多反而愈显愚昧
So if you feel you've no regrets go have your fortune read
若你心中无憾 不妨去占卜前程
Then I said now what do ya see
我追问未来景象
She said deed lee dumb deed lee dee
她念叨着神秘的咒语
Where I go what I be
预言我漂泊何方
deed lee dumb deed lee dy
嘀嗒嘀 嘀嗒嘀
You are so old you are so wise
你如此年长 又如此睿智
deed lee dumb deed lee dy
嘀嗒嘀 嘀嗒嘀
Give me a sign tell it to me
给我一个预兆 告诉我吧
She said deed lee dumb deed lee dee
她念叨着神秘的咒语
Where I go what I be
预言我漂泊何方
She said deed lee dumb deed lee dee
她念叨着神秘的咒语
You are so old you are so wise
你如此年长 又如此睿智
deed lee dumb deed lee dy
嘀嗒嘀 嘀嗒嘀
Give me a sign tell it to me
给我一个预兆 告诉我吧
She said deed lee dumb deed lee dee
她念叨着神秘的咒语
