歌词
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down,
人群过后,凯西陷入无声的沉默
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below.
通向地铁的台阶被阴影笼罩
Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors,
借着幽暗的霓虹,跟着人群穿过走廊
Of silent desperation, never speaking to a soul.
无言的绝望,让人彼此缄默
The poison air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dying,
他正吸食的在空气中散发出死亡的气息
Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain.
因为它从未见过阳光,从未淋过雨露
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes,
凯西注意到箭头(路标),却忽视了末日的回声
Of the clicking of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains.
十字转门的咔哒声和锁链的咣当声
"Oh," she said: "Casey, it's been so long since I've seen you."
哦,她说,凯西我们早已相遇
"Here," she said: "just a kiss to make a body smile."
嗨,她说,简单一个吻会让人幸福快乐
"See," she said: "I've put on new stockings just to please you."
看吧,她说,我穿上新的丝袜只是为了取悦你
"Lord," she said. "Casey, can you only stay a while."
上帝呀,她说,凯西你能再待一会儿吗
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside The Golden Crown,
凯西出了地铁,驻足在金色王冠站
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones.
他抖擞精神驱散潮湿空气带来的寒意
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men,
思索着所有孤独的人的命运
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home.
他们浪迹天涯却不愿回到故乡
Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter,
凯西在街角一隅喝着苦啤酒
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by.
对镜子里闪过的行人毫不在意
Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason,
他离开时,一路踉跄.他纳闷儿
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye.
这是由于肚子里的酒还是眼中的泪
"Oh," she said: "I suppose you seldom think about me."
哦,她说,我猜你从未想起过我
"Now," she said: "now that you've a family of your own."
喂,她说,你现在有家了
"Still," she said: "It's so blessed good to feel your body."
还有,她说,有你在身边真的很棒
"Lord," she said: "Casey, it's a shame to be alone."
上帝呀,她说,凯西孤独的人是可耻的
