The Obvious Child
Paul Simon"The Obvious Child"歌词
I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
我沉浸于平淡的人生
Or maybe i'm a dog who's lost its bite
或许我是一只没有野性的狗
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
我也知道自己有点傻
I don't expect to sleep through the night
我不指望能整夜安睡
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
有人说你就骗人吧
But i say why
可是为什么啊
Why deny the obvious child?
为什么要为难这个寻常孩子呢
Why deny the obvious child?
为什么要为难这个寻常孩子呢
And in remembering a road sign
在回忆一个路标时
I am remembering a girl when i was young
我想起了年轻时的姑娘
And we said these songs are true
这些歌不是矫情滥作
These days are ours
那是我们的青春
These tears are free And hey
眼泪自由挥洒
The cross is in the ballpark
棒球场的十字架
The cross is in the ballpark
棒球场的十字架
We had a lot of fun
我们曾经欢笑着
We had a lot of money
我们曾经数着钱
We had a little son and we thought we'd call him sonny
我们曾经还有一个叫桑尼的儿子
Sonny gets married and moves away
桑尼结婚之后搬走了
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
桑尼有了小孩之后要还贷
Sonny gets sunnier
桑尼变得越来越开朗
Day by day by day by day
日复一日年复一年
。。。。。
。。。。。。
I've been waking up at sunrise
我随日出而醒
I've been following the light across my room
追随着房间里的光线
I watch the night receive the room of my day
我看见夜色暗了下来
Some people say the sky is just the sky
人们说天即是天
But i say
但我说
Why deny the obvious child?
为什么要为难这个寻常孩子呢
Why deny the obvious child?
为什么要为难这个寻常孩子呢
桑尼靠着窗户检讨自己
Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself
好奇怪有些房间像是牢笼
How it's strange that some rooms are like cages
桑尼的高中纪念册
Sonny's yearbook from high school
从架子上掉了下来
Is down from the shelf
于是他百无聊赖地翻阅
And he idly thumbs through the pages
有的人已经入土
Some have died
有的人早已忘记了自己的模样
Some have fled from themselves
还有的人坚强地四处漂泊
Or struggled from here to get there
桑尼心墙漫步
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
不断地捋着稀疏棕发
Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair
我沉浸于平淡的人生
Well i'm accustomed to a smoother ride
或许我是一只没有野性的狗
Maybe i'm a dog that's lost his bite
我也知道自己有点傻
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
我不指望能整夜安睡
I don't expect to sleep the night
有人说你就骗人吧
Some people say a lie is just a lie
但是我说棒球场的十字架
But i say the cross is in the ballpark
做一个平淡的孩子有什么错？
Why deny the obvious child?
