Diamonds & Rust (钻石和锈) (Live) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)/Judy Collins (朱蒂·柯林斯)
Written by:Joan Baez
Joan Baez :
Well I'll be damned
我像是中了咒语
Here comes your ghost again
你的魅影再次浮现在眼前
But that's not unusual
但这并不反常
It's just that the moon is full
只因今晚月亮满盈
And you happened to call
你又恰巧打来电话
And here I sit
我坐在这儿
Both:
Hand on the telephone
手握着电话
Hearing a voice I'd known
听到那早已熟悉的声音
A couple of light years ago
穿越时空而来
Heading straight for a fall
顿时感到如坠落般晕眩
Judy Collins:
As I remember your eyes
我依稀记得你的眼睛
Were bluer than robin's eggs
比知更鸟的蛋还要蓝
My poetry was lousy you said
你说我写的诗糟透了
Where are you calling from
你在哪儿打的电话
A booth in the midwest
在中西部的一个电话亭里
Joan Baez:
And fifty years ago
五十年前
I bought you some cufflinks
我送了你一些袖扣
You brought me something
你也送了我一些东西
Both:
We both know what memories can bring
我们都知道回忆能沉淀出什么
They bring diamonds and rust
有钻石般的永恒 也有铁锈般的衰变
Judy Collins:
Well you burst on the scene
你骤然出现在我面前
Already a legend
已经是个传奇了
The unwashed phenomenon
这是我怎么也想不到的
The original vagabond
从前的那个流浪者
You strayed into my arms
竟来到了我的怀抱中
Joan Baez:
And there you stayed
而你的停留
Temporarily lost at sea
如海上的短暂迷航
The Madonna was yours for free
圣母玛利亚无私地守护你
Yes the girl on the half-shell
是的 牡蛎姑娘
Both:
Would keep you unharmed
会一直为你保驾护航
Judy Collins:
Now I see you standing
现在我看见你伫立在
With brown leaves falling around
纷飞黄叶之中
Joan Baez:
And snow in your hair
发间沾着落雪
Judy Collins:
Now you're smiling out the window
现在你对着窗外微笑
Of that crummy hotel
在简陋的宾馆里
Joan Baez:
Over Washington Square
俯视着华盛顿广场
Both:
Our breath comes out white clouds
我们呼出的气息如白云般交错
Mingles and hangs in the air
凝结在空气中
Speaking strictly for me
我可以肯定地说
We both could have died then and there
在彼时彼地 我们都愿意为对方献出生命
Judy Collins:
Now you're telling me
现在你告诉我
You're not nostalgic
你并不怀旧
But give me another word for it
但你拐弯抹角 闪烁其词
You who are so good with words
你向来很擅长言辞
And with keeping things vague
一直把话说得暧昧不明
Both:
Because I need some of that vagueness now
因为现在我正需要那种暧昧不明
It all come back too clearly
回忆纷纷涌入脑海 全都太过清晰
Yes I once loved you dearly
是的 我曾爱过你 亲爱的
And you bring diamonds and rust
你如钻石般永恒 也如铁锈般易变
And all memories bring
留给我百般滋味在心头
