There Is a Tree - Carrie Newcomer

Last night I dreamt you very near
昨晚我梦见你近在咫尺
Though the night was dark beyond the glass
窗外是静谧漆黑的夜
I knew you'd left before I woke
我知道你会在我梦醒前离开
But you fogged the window when you passed
然而当你离开时却留下了窗花
The air was still and smelled like rain
空气中弥漫着雨样的味道
Though I'd never known so dry a spell
尽管我不知道干燥是如何拼写的
And what I heard there in the dark
在黑暗中我听到的是
Are the secrets I will never tell
不尽言说的秘密
There is a tree beyond this world
在遥远的地方有一棵树
In it's ancient roots this song is curled
古老的传说中 歌曲就像树根般蜷曲
I am the fool whose life's been spent
我就是那个人像傻瓜般度过一生
Between what's said and what is meant
就是人们口中说的实际指的傻瓜
I didn't mean what went so wrong
我不是说做错了什么
Some things I wish I didn't know
只是好多事我希望从来也不懂
I've always lived inside my head
我会只活在自己的世界中
And often utterly alone
总是孤单一人
I'll be a pillow for your head
我会是你的睡枕
You can make me promises you can't keep
你可以让我相信你再也无法支撑
And I'll believe each word you've said
我会相信你说的每个字
And I'll hum to you while you sleep
在你睡觉时 向你轻声吟唱
There is a tree beyond this world
在遥远的地方有一棵树
In it's ancient roots this song is curled
古老的传说中 歌曲就像树根般蜷曲
I am the fool whose life's been spent
我就是那个人像傻瓜般度过一生
Between what's said and what is meant
就是人们口中说的实际指的傻瓜
You took me by my shaking hand
你牵起我颤抖的手
Laughed at me and closed the door
对我笑着然后关上了门
And you put your hands to my waist
你伸手搂住了我的腰际
And you waltzed me round the kitchen floor
在厨房里跳起了华尔兹
There is a tree beyond this world
在遥远的地方有一棵树
In it's ancient roots this song is curled
古老的传说中 歌曲就像树根般蜷曲
I am the fool whose life's been spent
我就是那个人像傻瓜般度过一生
Between what's said and what is meant
就是人们口中说的实际指的傻瓜
So I will wander without fail
我徘徊着永远不会失败
In circles that grow ever wide
这循环变得从未广阔
The sky expands and then exhales
天空无限伸展至无穷
With an ache that never will subside
与那不会消失的伤痛
There is a tree beyond this world
在遥远的地方有一棵树
In it's ancient roots this song is curled
古老的传说中 歌曲就像树根般蜷曲
I am the fool whose life's been spent
我就是那个人像傻瓜般度过一生
Between what's said and what is meant
就是人们口中说的实际指的傻瓜
