Goodnight America - Mary Chapin Carpenter
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I'm standing at a traffic light somewhere in west L A
我站在洛杉矶西部的某个红绿灯下
Waiting for the sign to change then
等待着信号灯变换
I'll be on my way
然后我将继续前行
The noise the heat the crush of cars
噪音、炎热、车流的拥挤
Just robs me of my nerve
让我心神不宁
Then someone yells and blasts their horn
有人大喊并按响喇叭
And pins me to the curb
将我逼到路边
I'm a stranger here
我在这里是个陌生人
No one you would know
没有人认识我
My ship has not come in
我的船还未靠岸
But I keep hoping though
但我依然心怀希望
And I keep looking past the sun that sets above
我继续眺望那落日的余晖
Saying to myself goodnight America
对自己说,晚安,美国
And I am driving into Houston on a rain-slicked Texas road
我正驶入休斯顿,在雨滑的德州公路上
Land so flat and sky so dark I say a prayer to float
大地如此平坦,天空如此昏暗,我默默祈祷
Should all at once the San Jacinto surge beyond its banks
若圣哈辛托河突然**决堤
Like Noah reaching higher ground I'd offer up my thanks
我愿如诺亚般登上高地 献上我的感激
'Cause I'm a stranger here
因我在此地是个陌生人
No one you would know
没有人认识我
I'm just passing through I am therefore I go
我只是匆匆过客 我存在 所以我前行
The moon rose in the east but now it's right above
月亮从东方升起 此刻却高悬头顶
As I say aloud goodnight America
我高声说道 晚安 美国
Midnight it's hard to see the stars
午夜时分 星光难觅
Out on a highway near Atlanta
在亚特兰大附近的高速公路上
Full of strip malls & used cars
满是购物中心和二手车
First light just roll your window down and smell
晨曦初现 摇下车窗 轻嗅
The salty air perfume of Charleston town
查尔斯顿小镇的咸涩空气与芬芳
I'm looking with a pilgrim's eyes
我以朝圣者的目光凝望
Upon some promised land
那片应许之地
I'm dreaming with my heart outstretched
我用心去梦想
As if it were my hand
仿佛伸出手便能触及
And I'll hit the Cross Bronx just in time to
我会及时穿过布朗克斯
Beat the rush hour lock
避开高峰时段的拥堵
But I got no clue what time it is
但我完全不知道现在几点
From this world's busted clock
这个世界的时钟早已失灵
I'm a stranger here no one you would know
我在这里是个陌生人 无人认识
I'm from somewhere else isn't everybody though
我来自别处 难道不都是如此吗
I don't know where I'll be when the sun comes up
我不知道太阳升起时我会在哪里
But till then sweet dreams goodnight America
但在此之前 晚安 美国 愿你有个美梦
