Darby’s Castle(Album Version) - Kris Kristofferson

Darby's Castle - 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;
恍若远古时代的回响 早已被世人遗忘
There's a story of a home crushed beneath those blackened stones
有个家的故事 深埋在这些焦黑的石块之下
And the roof which fell before the beams were rotten
房梁未朽 屋顶却已先坍塌
Cecil darby loved his wife and he laboured all his life
塞西尔·达比深爱妻子 倾尽一生心血
To provide her with material possessions;
只为给她富足的物质生活
And he built for her a home of the finest wood and stone
他用最上等的木石 为她建造家园
And the building soon became his sole obsession
这建筑很快成为他唯一的执念
Oh it took three hundred days for the timbers to be raised
三百个日夜 才将栋梁高高架起
And the silhouette was seen for miles around;
巍峨剪影 数里之外仍清晰可见
And the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky
尖顶耸入云霄 与苍鹰比肩
-But it only took one night to bring it down
却只需一夜 便尽数倾颓
When darby's castle tumbled to the ground
当达比的城堡轰然倒塌
Though they shared a common bed there was precious little said
同床共枕却相对无言
In the moments that were set aside for sleeping:
本该安眠的深夜时分
For his busy dreams were filled with the rooms he'd yet to build
他梦中仍在构筑未完成的厅堂
And he never heard young ellen darby weeping
他从未听见年轻的艾伦·达比啜泣
Then one night he heard a sound as he laid his pencil down
直到某夜搁下铅笔时 他听见异响
And he traced it to her door and turned the handle;
循声来到她门前 转动门把
And the pale light of the moon through the window of the room
惨白月光透过窗棂
Split the shadows where two bodies lay entangled
将两具交缠身躯的影子割裂
Oh it took three hundred days for the timbers to be raised
三百个日夜筑起的梁木
And the silhouette was seen for miles around;
巍峨剪影 数里之外仍清晰可见
And the gables reached as high as the eagles in the sky -
山墙高耸似要触碰天际的鹰
But it only took one night to bring it down
但仅一夜之间便轰然倒塌
When darby's castle tumbled to the ground
当达比的城堡化为废墟
