Creole Girl - Allan Taylor

Creole Girl - Allan Taylor
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Call it a journey of memories
且称之为一场回忆之旅
A journey to bring back the time
一场找回时光的远行
Through those days of wild abandon
穿过那段放浪形骸的岁月
When a young man was in his prime
彼时少年正值风华正茂
Call it a hopeless fantasy
权当是一场无望的幻梦
Trying to capture some long lost dreams
试图捕捉那早已失落的旧梦
When you fell for the dark eyed Creole girl
那时你倾心于那位双眸深邃的克里奥尔女孩
Who came from New Orleans
她来自遥远的新奥尔良
Take in the Latin Quarter
漫步在巴黎的拉丁区
The search for a familiar name
寻觅着一个熟悉的名字
But Paris has changed since you left her
只是自你离开，巴黎已非旧模样
And nothing much looks the same
往昔痕迹早已面目全非
Fifi's cafe is now a strip club
菲菲咖啡馆如今成了脱衣舞俱乐部
With the Arabian Dancing Queens
满是那些所谓的“阿拉伯舞后”
But not one can compare with the Creole girl
却无一人能与那位克里奥尔女孩相比
Who came from New Orleans
她来自遥远的新奥尔良
Perhaps it was too much to wish for
或许这种奢求本就太过火
Sometimes it's best to move on
有时最好的选择是学会释怀
But just for the sake of memories
但仅仅是为了祭奠往事
I'll take a drink for the days long gone
我要为那逝去的岁月痛饮一杯
And I went into the Cafe Chanson
我步入了那间香颂咖啡馆
And watched the world from tobacco stained screens
透过烟垢斑驳的屏风打量着世界
And I thought of the dark eyed Creole girl
再次想起那位双眸深邃的克里奥尔女孩
Who came from New Orleans
她来自遥远的新奥尔良
"Bonsoir monsieur" said the waitress
“晚上好，先生，”女招待开口道
"And what can I get for you "
“请问您想喝点什么？”
I said "Excuse me for asking this question
我说：“冒昧问一句
But you remind me of someone I knew"
你的模样像极了我的一位故人”
She laughed as if I was crazy
她笑了起来，仿佛在嘲弄我的痴狂
This young girl just out of her teens
这位少女正值桃李年华
But she looked like the dark eyed Creole girl
她的轮廓竟与那位克里奥尔女孩如出一辙
Who came from New Orleans
那位来自新奥尔良的女孩
I stayed 'til the bar had emptied
我独坐到宾客散尽
And we shared a bottle of wine
与她共饮一瓶陈年旧酒
I said "I'm just trying to capture a memory
我说：“我只是想捕捉一段记忆
Of love in a different time"
一段属于另一个时代的爱恋”
She said "Maybe you think of my mother
她说：“或许您想起的是我母亲
We look so much alike it seems
我们的容貌确实惊人地相似
She was known as the dark eyed Creole girl
当年，人们都叫她那位双眸深邃的克里奥尔女孩
Who came from New Orleans"
那个来自新奥尔良的传奇”
How I loved the dark eyed Creole girl
我曾是那样深爱着那位克里奥尔女孩
Who came from New Orleans
她来自遥远的新奥尔良
