Silver Kettle - Al Stewart

Silver Kettle - Al Stewart
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
And in the last days of the world of plastic records
在这塑料唱片时代的最后时光里
He takes the car into town
他驾车驶入城市
He hears the voices of salvation through the static
透过杂音听见救赎之声
Just turns the volume down
却只是调低音量
A chain link fence round a boarded up arcade
围栏锁着废弃的游乐场
Towers of glass that petroleum has made
石油铸就的玻璃高塔林立
But he wouldn't have been born
但他注定只能
At any other moment in the world
降生于这个时代的洪流
And in the morning he will hear the silver kettle
清晨时分 银色水壶的声响
Calling him out of his sleep
将他从睡梦中唤醒
The world outside goes by in plastic and in metal
窗外世界 尽是塑料与金属的冰冷
He's got his secrets to keep
他心中藏着不为人知的秘密
The daily news forms a pattern on TV
电视里日复一日的新闻模式
Violence first then a cat stuck up a tree
先是暴力事件 再是困在树上的猫
But he wouldn't have been born
但他注定只能
At any other moment in this world
降生于这个时代的洪流
One o'clock and the office empties out
午后一点 办公室人潮散去
He watches as they pass
他目送人群经过
Nostalgic for something intangible
怀念着某种难以名状的事物
A time that never was
那段从未真实存在的时光
There is a crack along the plaster in the kitchen
厨房灰墙上蜿蜒着裂缝
It forms the shape of her face
勾勒出她的脸庞轮廓
Just for a moment he will trace it with his finger
他指尖轻抚这转瞬即逝的印记
One day he'll paint her away
终有一日要用颜料将她抹去
He sees her now - she's got a clean white shirt on
此刻他看见她 身着洁白衬衫
She's someone he'd just love to get the dirt on
多想窥探她隐藏的秘密
And she couldn't have been born
而她注定只能
At any other moment in the world
降生于这个时代的洪流
