Ordinary Joe (Live) - Terry Callier

And for my opening line
我的开场白
I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind
并不是想要来表明我的思绪
I turn you on
可我使你燃起了兴趣
I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
我只是告诉你 我的笑只是为了跟哭保持距离
Pretty music when you hear it
当你听到美妙的音乐
Keep on trying to get near it
就要去努力靠近
A little rhythm for your spirit
为自己的灵魂增加点旋律
Oh but that's what it's for
我们达到目的地了
Come on in here's the door
进来吧 入口就在这里
And I've seen a sparrow get high
我看到了一只变得欢腾的麻雀
And waste his time in the sky
在天空悠悠地浪费时间
He thinks it's easy to fly
他认为飞翔何等容易
He's just a little bit freer than I
而他只是比我更自在那么一点点
Now here's a mystery
这是个谜
And maybe you can help to make it clear to me
也许你可以帮我解开这个谜题
When you're fast asleep
当你快速睡去
Then what is it that's lighting up the dreams you see
是什么点燃了你的梦想
Only your tears can't conceal it
你的眼泪止不住地流
And only your prayers may not reveal it
你不停地祈祷
You've got soul so you can feel it
你可以感受到自己的灵魂
And when you make the scene
当你做到这些
Well you know what I mean
你就该明白我的意思
Hey I've seen a sparrow get high
我看到了一只变得欢腾的麻雀
And waste his time in the sky
在天空悠悠地浪费时间
He thinks it's easy to fly

He's just a little bit freer than I

Down here on the ground
就在这里坐下吧
When you find folks are giving you the runaround
当你听到民乐响起时
Although they say you're just a lazy so-and-so
虽然他们说你只是个懒惰的人
What they think is real
他们的想法都是真实的
Is nothing but an animated puppet show
他们什么都不知道 只是一场场活灵活现的木偶剧
So don't let time and space confuse you
不要让时间和空间迷惑你
And don't let name and form abuse you
不要让名字和形式左右你
Let that Big Joe Williams blues you
让大威廉姆斯将你沉淀
In the light of the sun you can see how they burn
