Darby’s Castle - Kris Kristofferson

Darby's Castle (Album Version) - Kris Kristofferson
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
See the ruin on the hill where the smoke is hanging still
看那山丘上的废墟 烟雾依旧萦绕不散
Like an echo of an age long forgotten;
如同被遗忘时代的回响
There's a story of a home crushed beneath those blackened stones
有个家的故事 被掩埋在焦黑的石堆下
And the roof which fell before the beams were rotten
屋顶在梁木腐朽前就已坍塌
Cecil darby loved his wife and he laboured all his life
塞西尔·达比深爱妻子 毕生辛勤劳作
To provide her with material possessions;
只为给她物质上的富足
And he built for her a home of the finest wood and stone
他为她建造了最精美的木石之家
And the building soon became his sole obsession
很快这建筑成了他唯一的执念
Oh it took three hundred days for the timbers to be raised
整整三百个日夜 才将栋梁高高竖起
And the silhouette was seen for miles around;
巍峨轮廓在数英里外都清晰可见
And the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky
山墙高耸入云 与天际苍鹰比肩
-But it only took one night to bring it down
却只需一夜之间 便尽数倾塌
When darby's castle tumbled to the ground
当达比的城堡轰然坠地
Though they shared a common bed there was precious little said
虽同床共枕 却鲜少言语
In the moments that were set aside for sleeping:
在本该安眠的时分里
For his busy dreams were filled with the rooms he'd yet to build
他忙碌的梦境仍堆砌着未筑的楼宇
And he never heard young ellen darby weeping
他从未听见年轻的艾伦·达比在哭泣
Then one night he heard a sound as he laid his pencil down
直到某夜搁下铅笔时 他听见一阵响动
And he traced it to her door and turned the handle;
循声来到她的门前 转动门把
And the pale light of the moon through the window of the room
苍白的月光透过窗棂
Split the shadows where two bodies lay entangled
将两具交缠身躯的阴影割裂
Oh it took three hundred days for the timbers to be raised
三百个日夜筑起的栋梁
And the silhouette was seen for miles around;
巍峨轮廓在数英里外都清晰可见
And the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky -
尖顶高耸入云 与飞鹰比肩
But it only took one night to bring it down
但仅一夜之间 一切轰然倒塌
When darby's castle tumbled to the ground
当达比的城堡 化作满地残渣
