Walking home from work through the orange glow of a Friday night
在周五晚上下班回家橙光將我籠罩
No time at all to catch, chewing on a licorice pie
不用著急忙慌慢慢咀嚼甘草派
I just finished a couple of mixes
我剛做好了幾段混音
Had a chat with my old man
和老爹聊了天
Tried to sample that wonderful sound that comes when you crush
試著把那美好的聲音採樣
A beer can
敲碎啤酒罐的聲音
From afar I heard a song I knew from back in the day
我遠遠地聽到一首舊時相識的歌
Dave Grohls voice came from the stadium just a few blocks away
Dave Grohl的聲音從幾個街區外的體育場傳來
Then it went silent, I heard him announce he had broken his leg
然後是一片寂靜我聽到他說他摔斷了腿
Someone should have told him not take that phrase 'Break a leg'
應該有人告誡他那句“祝好運”的俗語
Quiet so literally
並不該按字面意思理解
But he kept going diligently, Ill give him that
但他勤奮地繼續著我很欽佩他
And the city was full of giddy, forty-year-old rocker dads
這城市裡滿是輕狂的40歲搖滾大叔
Pissing in corners and singing 'My Hero'
衝著牆角撒尿唱著《我的英雄》
I almost stepped on a guy who was passed out in a sombrero
我差點踩在一個戴著寬邊帽暈倒的人身上
Couple blocks north, the crowd cleared out
再往北走幾個街區人群散去
In an intersection someone looked up and gave me a shout
在一個路口有人抬眼看我沖我大叫
A pizza delivery guy had crashed his bike
一個披薩外賣員撞倒了自己的自行車
I helped him up and as a thank you he gave me a slice
我扶他起來他送了我一塊披薩作為感謝
I decided to take an alternate route due to construction
由於施工我打算改路走
In the clear, dark sky I saw Jupiters position
在清澈的夜空裡我看到了木星
There was a blackout for several blocks
之後的幾個街區沒給我留下印象
I put a letter in apost box addressed to myself in some future rendition
我往信箱裡投了一封信寄給未來唱著歌的自己
I made a beeline over the cemetery
我徑直奔向墓地
And read all the names
瀏覽了每一個名字
A golden fox dropped a rose on somebodys grave
一隻金狐狸把一朵玫瑰落在了某人的墓前
Not such a strange vision , tonight is magical realism
這不是什麼奇觀這是魔幻現實之夜
So well mention the mystic like we mention the mundane
我們聊著的神秘事件不過是尋常
Theres something bout these early summer nights
這些傍晚令人回味
Walking home through the city makes me feel like Im in a movie
走過整個城市回家我彷佛置身電影中
All the happy people, all the bright lights
所有歡樂的人兒所有命令的光
The first stadium show of the year
今年第一場體育館表演
The smell of hot dogs and spilled beer
熱狗和遍灑的啤酒的味道
The church bell strikes midnight
教堂鐘聲在午夜響起
But the magic doesnt disappear
但魔法尚未消失
