First Recollection - Cowboy Junkies
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
My first recollection is a day in December
最初的记忆定格在十二月某天
Black iron steam engine covered in ice
黑铁蒸汽机车覆满冰霜
Like some Precambrian monster
如寒武纪前的狰狞巨兽
Moaning and snorting
喘息低吼着
Nothing was ever going to beat that beast
世间万物终难将其驯服
In a fair fight
在这场公平对决里
I've sat and watched the woodpiles
我曾静坐凝望柴垛成山
Grow through the summer
在夏日里悄然成长
Now I'm sitting smelling summer burn through the fall
如今我静坐 嗅着夏意燃尽秋光
Winter's coming on days getting dreary
寒冬将至 日子渐显阴郁
And I'm thinking this is the season
我思忖着这正是
That I leave you all
该离去的时节
I've heard a man in crisis
听闻人在困境时
Falls back on what he knows best
总会重拾最熟悉的生存之道
A murderer to murder
凶手终将伏法
A thief to theft
窃贼难逃制裁
And I don't want you to think
但我不愿你误以为
That this is some kind of deathbed confession
这是临终前的忏悔告白
But run is what I did when put to the test
每当考验来临 我总选择逃离
My first recollection is a day in December
最初的记忆定格在十二月某天
747 tracing lines through the sky
波音747在云端划出航迹
Like some old gypsy curse
如同古老的吉普赛诅咒
Silently preying upon the dreams of those
悄然吞噬着那些人的梦想
Who jealously watch life pass by
他们只能嫉妒地看着生活流逝
I've sat and watched my troubles
我静坐着 看着烦恼
Pile through the summer
在夏日里堆积如山
Now I'm sitting hearing my youngest cry
如今我坐着 听见幼子
Down the hall
在走廊尽头哭泣
Winter's coming on days getting dreary
寒冬将至 日子渐显阴郁
And I'm thinking this is the season
我思忖着这正是
That I leave you all
该离去的时节
I've heard that the son must bear
常言道子承父业
The burdens of the father
背负父亲的担子
But it's the daughter that is left
但最终留下的女儿
To clean up the mess
却要收拾残局
And I don't want you to think
但我不愿你误以为
That I'm asking for absolution
以为我在祈求宽恕
But run is what I did when put to the test
每当考验来临 我总选择逃离
