The Ivy Covered Walls - Harry Nilsson

The Ivy Covered Walls - Harry Nilsson (哈利·尼尔森)
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Just behind the ivy covered walls
常春藤掩映的围墙之后
We used to walk the Ivy leaguer walls
我们曾漫步于藤校的长廊
We used to share an Ivy leaguer look
眼中曾映着同窗的荣光
But (we lost it with the chemicals that we took)
却（在化学迷幻中遗失了方向）
Now the good books in the library look better every day
如今图书馆的典籍日渐明亮
And the dean and all his bribery took our faith in him away
院长与贿赂蚕食了信仰
So we wandered through the garden by the ivy covered walls
我们徘徊在藤蔓缠绕的花园墙
And we waited for the magic where the sleepy nighttime falls
守候睡意降临时的魔法微光
But the books we learned to love so much were very hard to read
那些我们深爱的书籍 却晦涩难懂
So we hunted for a light just a light was all we'd need
于是我们寻找光明 只需一盏灯便足够
Then we saw a glow not far away
忽见不远处微光闪烁
Just a stones throw you might say
近在咫尺的距离
And we headed for the light we saw
我们朝着那光亮前行
We knew would lead the way
知道它将指引方向
And the light shone through the window of a handsome hansel house
光芒从雅致小屋的窗棂透出
And we peeked inside the window (quiet) as a mouse
我们如鼠般轻悄 向窗内窥探
On the table near the fire was a book we all had read
壁炉边的桌上静静躺着那本我们共读过的书
With a cover so familiar not another word was said
熟悉的封面无声诉说着 谁都没有再开口
So we threw away the chemicals and we strolled back through the night
于是我们扔掉了药丸 在夜色中漫步归去
And we climbed the ivy covered walls (and the we said goodnight) that's right
攀爬常春藤缠绕的围墙时 (我们互道晚安) 是的
Now the next day we were back inside the crowded hallowed halls
次日我们又回到人声鼎沸的神圣殿堂
And one of us had scribbled something silly on the walls
有人在墙上涂鸦了些俏皮话
He never said he did it but it might have been us all
他虽未承认 但或许是我们共同的秘密
It was the title of the book we'd seen he'd written on the wall
那是我们见过的那本书名 被他写在墙上
A private joke to us perhaps - 'What's the title ' - you ask
这是我们之间的秘密暗号 你问"书名是什么"
It was simply: 'Throw away those chemicals or '
答案很简单："扔掉那些化学药品 否则..."
