Tangled Up Puppet (LP Version) - Harry Chapin
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I'm a tangled up puppet
我就像个纠缠的提线木偶
Spinning round in knots
在绳结中不停打转
And the more I see what I used to be
越是看清曾经的自己
The less of you I've got
就越发失去你的踪影
There was a time
曾几何时
That you curled up in my lap; like a child
你像个孩子蜷缩在我膝上
You'd cling to me smiling
紧贴着我微笑
Yours eyes wide and wild
眼眸清澈又明亮
Now you slip through my arms
如今你从我臂弯悄然溜走
Wave a passing hello
匆匆挥手道声问候
Twist away and toss a kiss
转身离去抛来飞吻
Laughing as you go
笑声渐远不曾停留
You used to say
你曾说
"Read me a story and sing me songs of love"
"给我读个故事 唱首情歌吧"
For you were Princess Paradise like your wings of a dove
那时你是天堂的公主 纯洁如白鸽
Now I chase you
如今我追逐着你
And tease you trying to remake you my own
我试图重塑你 让你重新属于我
But you just turn away and say "please leave me alone "
你却转身拒绝 说着"请让我独自静一静"
And I'm a tangled up puppet
我像被缠绕的提线木偶
All hanging in your strings
全凭你手中丝线操控
I'm a butterfly in a spider's web
又如蛛网中的蝴蝶
Fluttering my wings
徒劳地扑扇翅膀
And the more that I keep dancing
我越是不断舞动
And spinning round in knots
就越深陷纠结的漩涡
The more I see what I used to be
越是看清曾经的自己
And the less of you I've got
就越发感觉失去你
You are a drawer full of make up
你像装满化妆品的抽屉
And rinses and things
堆满染发剂和杂物
You keep changing your moods
你变换心情的速度
Like your earrings and rings
就像更换耳环戒指
But tonight while we played tag
但今晚我们追逐嬉戏时
For five minutes in the yard
庭院里的五分钟时光
Just for a moment I caught you off guard
那一瞬你猝不及防落入我眼眶
And I'm a tangled up puppet
我像被缠绕的提线木偶
All hanging in your strings
全凭你手中丝线操控
I'm a butterfly in a spider's web
又如蛛网中的蝴蝶
Fluttering my wings
徒劳地扑扇翅膀
And the more that I keep dancing
我越是不断舞动
And spinning round in knots
就越深陷纠结的漩涡
The more I see what I used to be
越是看清曾经的自己
And the less of you I've got
就越发感觉失去你
But now you write your secret poems
如今你独自书写秘密诗篇
In a room just for your dreams
在专属梦想的小天地里
You don't find time to talk to me
不再抽空与我倾诉
About the things you mean
那些你真正在意的事情
What I mean is
我想说的是
I have watched you take shape from a jumble of parts
我曾看着你从零散碎片逐渐成形
And find the grace and form of a fine work of art
蜕变成精美艺术品般优雅动人
Hey you my brand new woman
嘿 你 我焕然一新的女孩
Newly come into your own
终于绽放出自我光芒
Don't you know that you don't need to grow up all alone
难道你不知道 不必独自完成这场成长
