Windmill of Your Mind / Moulins de mon Coeur - Janet Seidel

Round like a circle in a spiral
圆 如一圈圈漩涡不断涌出
Like a wheel within a wheel
如一只只车轮环环相连
Never ending on beginning
无尽亦无源
On an ever-spinning reel
如一只不停旋转的卷轴
Like a snowball down a mountain
像从山坡滚下的雪球
Or a carnival balloon
像是狂欢节上的气球
Like a carousel that's turning
像是一只旋转着的木马
Running rings around the moon
绕着月亮奔腾
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
像一面钟的时针
Past the minutes on its face
走过钟面上的刻度
And the world is like an apple
世界就像一个苹果
Whirling silently in space
在太空中无声地旋转
Like the circles that you find
你会找到旋转的规律
In the windmills of your mind
在你风车般转动的意识里
Keys that jingle in your pocket
钥匙在你口袋叮当作响
Words that jangle in your head
话语在你脑海里打转着
Why did summer go so quickly
夏天为何走得如此匆忙
Was it something that I said
是不是因为你说了什么
Lovers walk along a shore
恋人们在海边漫步
And leave their footprints in the sand
沙滩上留下了他们的脚印
Was the sound of distant drumming
那遥远的鼓声
Just the fingers of your hand
是否是你在演奏
Pictures hanging in a hallway
陈列在画廊里的画作
Or the fragment of a song
亦或一首歌的片段
Half-remembered names and faces
或者印象模糊的名字和容颜
But to whom do they belong
它们究竟属于谁
When you knew that it was over
当你明白一切已结束
Were you suddenly aware
是否会猛然察觉到
That the autumn leaves were turning
秋叶正逐渐变色
To the color of her hair
变成了她头发的颜色
