I Am a Rock (Alternate Version) - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)
A winter's day
冬日里的一天
In a deep and dark December;
十二月的深夜
I am alone
我独自一人
Gazing from my window to the streets below
注视着窗外的街道
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
被刚刚落下的雪花静静地覆盖着
I am a rock
我是一块岩石
I am an island
我是一座孤岛
I've built walls
我建了一面墙
A fortress deep and mighty
一座深而恢弘的堡垒
That none may prate
无人能越过
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
我不需要友谊 友谊会带来伤痛
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
那是笑声 是我所不屑的爱
I am a rock
我是一块岩石
I am an island
我是一座孤岛
Don't talk of love
不要跟我提起爱
But I've heard the words before;
这个词我曾听说过
It's sleeping in my memory
如今它已沉睡在我的记忆里
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
我不会去打扰那些已经僵死的感情
If I never loved I never would have cried
如果我从未爱过 我便不会哭泣
I am a rock
我是一块岩石
I am an island
我是一座孤岛
I have my books
我有我的书
And my poetry to protect me;
和诗歌来保护我
I am shielded in my armor
我被自己的盔甲隔离
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
躲在自己的房里 安全如母亲的子宫
I touch no one and no one touches me
我触碰不到任何人 也无人能打动我
I am a rock
我是一块岩石
I am an island
我是一座孤岛
And a rock feels no pain;
岩石感觉不到疼痛
And an island never cries
而岛屿从不哭泣
