The Merlin Cafe
The Merlin Cafe is empty
梅林咖啡馆空无一人
Save for a drunk or two
除了喝上一杯两杯
The waitress is waiting on going
服务生正等着打烊
And I've quit waiting on you
我也放弃了等你
Midnight lovers are all the same
午夜的爱人都有着相似的心
We dream in impossible ways
幻想着种种不可能
In the fading light we come alive and hide away from the days
在晦暗的灯光里 我们蔽于白日 清醒过来
A song will last forever
这首 永将延续的歌
A single dream goes forward
唯一的梦想继续前行
Loneliness strips you down to the bone and that's when you know who you are
孤独感深入骨髓 你终于认清了自己
Cause you feel depressed for choosing
在夜晚
A night instead of day
你比白天更感抑郁
It's never just a case of losing but throwing it all away
这和丢失不是一回事 而是抛开所有
And I'll write you a song in the morning and I'll sing it for you some day
我会在清晨为你写首歌 某天唱给你听
I'll say all the things I should've said before you went away
我会在你离开前 一吐衷肠
The joker in his reverie
傻瓜沉溺在幻想里
Takes another glass of wine
又饮一杯葡萄酒
The poet watches carefully
诗人细细观察
And writes another line
写下另一行诗
The joker's just a dreamer
那个傻瓜 只是个幻想家
Who got lost along the way
总在路上迷失
And dreamers can be poets in this crazy cabaret
幻想家 也可以是疯狂舞池中的诗人
I remember an old man passing
我记得一位老人 弥留之际
His time was slipping away
他的时光所剩无几
I was holding his hand and waiting
我握着他的手 静静等待
Cause there was something he wanted to say
因他有话对我说
He said "Friends, in times of trouble, they are the hardest to find"
他说 朋友啊 困难的时光里 最难坚持
"Hold onto them forever and leave the rest behind"
永远不要放弃 尽管抛开其他
And I'll write you a song in the morning and I'll sing it for you some day
我会在清晨为你写首歌 某天唱给你听
I'll say all the things I should've said before you went away
在你离开前 一吐衷肠
