Absolutely Sweet Marie

Absolutely Sweet Marie
Bob Dylan

好吧你家的鐵柵門你知道我跨不過去
Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it
有時候事情就是如此棘手你明白的
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
我只好枯坐於此敲打我的小號以示不滿
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
還有你曾給我許下的種種諾言
With all these promises you left for me
但今夜你在何處呢親愛的瑪麗
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
好吧我會等著你即便我怏怏不快
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick
是的我會等著你即便你說討厭我
Yes, I waited for you when you hated me
好吧我會站在擁擠的交通中等你
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
直到你知曉我可以在你家安身過夜
When you knew I had some other place to be
現在今夜你在何處呢親愛的瑪麗
Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
好吧顯然任何人都有可能像我一樣
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
但話說回來幸運的是並沒那麼多人像你
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
好吧你給我許諾過的六匹白馬
Well, six white horses that you did promise
最後都移交給了陰森的監獄
Were finally delivered down to the penitentiary
但為了鑽法律空子活下來你必須對我坦白
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
我知道你總說你認同我的說法
I know you always say that you agree
噢好吧那今夜你在何處呢親愛的瑪麗
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
但河上飄蕩的船長他熟知我的命運
But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate
但其他任何人包括你在內
But evarybody else, even yourself
他們都只有束手旁觀
They're just gonna have to wait.
好吧我會強忍住發燒的煎熬
Well, I got the fever down in my pockets
一個波斯酒鬼緊緊跟著我
The Persian drunkard, he follows me
是的我會帶他一道去你家但我撬不開門
Yes, I can take him to your house but I can't unlock it
你明白你忘了給我留下鑰匙
You see, you forgot to leaveme with the key
噢今夜你在何處呢親愛的瑪麗
Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
現在我哐當入獄我的所有私人信件只表明
Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed
一個男人不能把他的地址告訴他的狐朋狗友
That a man can't give his address out to bad company
現在我站在此處望著你家銹黃的鐵柵門
And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad
靠在你家亂糟糟的陽台上
In the ruins of your balcony
尋思今夜你在何處呢親愛的瑪麗
Wondering where you are tonight, sweet Marie.
