Goodnight America(Album Version) - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Goodnight America (Album Version) - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I'm standing at a traffic light somewhere in west L A
在西洛杉矶的某地 我站在红绿灯前
Waiting for the sign to change then I'll be on my way
等待着通行 我就可以上路
The noise the heat the crush of cars just robs me of my nerve
人群很喧闹 天气很热 车辆川流不息 我快要崩溃了
Then someone yells and blasts their horn and pins me to the curb
然后有人叫喊着 按着喇叭 把我挤到路边
I'm a stranger here no one you would know
我就像一个陌生人 谁都不认识
My ship has not come in but I keep hoping though
我的船还没来 我一直满怀希望在等待
And I keep looking past the sun that sets above
我看着太阳落下的方向
Saying to myself goodnight America
我对自己说 晚安美国
And I am driving into Houston on a rain-slicked Texas road
我开车去休斯顿 正在一条湿滑的Texas路上
Land so flat and sky so dark I say a prayer to float
路很平坦 天很黑 我的心中浮起祷告
Should all at once the San Jacinto surge beyond its banks
San Jacinto是不是应该突然冲向河岸边
Like Noah reaching higher ground I'd offer up my thanks
就像Noah到了更高的地方 我会感谢你的
'Cause I'm a stranger here no one you would know
我就像一个陌生人 谁都不认识
I'm just passing through I am therefore I go
我只是路过 我还要上路
The moon rose in the east but now it's right above
月亮从东边升起 但它现在高悬头顶
As I say aloud goodnight America
当我大声说 晚安 美国
Midnight it's hard to see the stars
午夜 看不见星光
Out on a highway near Atlanta full of strip malls
