Cold Hands From New York - Gordon Lightfoot
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by：Gordon Lightfoot

I came down through Albany to New York
我从奥尔巴尼一路南下 来到纽约
To find what I'd been missin'
寻找遗失的过往
I looked across the river to the city
隔着河流眺望城市
Where the windows all stood glistenin'
千万扇窗棂泛着冷光
I stood listenin'
我驻足聆听
Into a tunnel I did rise like a grave inside
钻进隧道如坠墓穴
But I was young and able
所幸年少力强
When I came out the other end
终从另一端重见天光
Of through the smoke the winter light was feeble
穿过烟雾 冬日微光黯淡朦胧
Unreadable
晦涩难懂
I was optimistic though a cabbie told me where to go
虽的士司机指路 我仍心怀希望
I thanked him
向他道谢
A face of white a face of brown
苍白面庞 黝黑脸庞
Ah here a smile and there a look of danger
此处微笑 彼处暗藏凶光
For a stranger
对陌生人
It was too unreal for me
这一切太过虚幻不实
I found no one who trusted me
我找不到可以信赖的人
There was no man could offer me
没有人愿意向我伸出援手
A cold hand from New York
纽约的冷漠之手
Cold hands from New York
纽约的冰冷双手
A voice within you cries
你内心在呐喊
Won't someone please help me
谁来帮帮我
I'll do the same for you one day
若有朝一日你路过我的世界
If you should ever pass my way and need me
我也会同样为你伸出援手
I came down to live alone in New York
我独自来到纽约生活
The city of the living
这座活着的城市
There were fortunes at my feet but the most of men
财富就在脚下 但大多数人
Were taking none we giving
只知索取 不懂给予
Or forgiving
也不懂宽恕
Children ran and children played and roses grew in alleyways
孩童奔跑嬉戏 玫瑰在巷弄绽放
I saw them
我目睹这一切
There were men who lived in style and others who had died
有人锦衣玉食 有人潦倒离世
Where no one knew them
无人知晓他们的存在
Beause they couldn't win
因为他们注定失败
There were parks where old men slept and dingy rooms
公园里老人蜷缩而眠 破旧房间
Where babies crept unwanted
婴儿爬行无人怜爱
Till I began to ask myself if there were hope
直到我开始自问是否还有希望
Or if it mattered what they did
他们的挣扎是否重要
Or if they lived
他们的生死是否值得
It was too unreal for me
这一切太过虚幻不实
I found no one who trusted me
我找不到可以信赖的人
There was no man could offer me
没有人愿意向我伸出援手
A cold hand from New York
纽约的冷漠之手
Cold hands from New York
纽约的冰冷双手
A voice within you cries
你内心在呐喊
Won't someone please help me
谁来帮帮我
I'll do the same for you one day
若有朝一日你路过我的世界
If you should ever pass my way and need me
我也会同样为你伸出援手
I came down through Albany to New York
我从奥尔巴尼一路南下 来到纽约
To find what I'd been missin'
寻找遗失的过往
I looked across the river to the city
隔着河流眺望城市
Where the windows all stood glistenin'
千万扇窗棂泛着冷光
I stood listenin'
我驻足聆听
And there were prophets in the squares
广场上先知在布道
And people there who smiled and said
人们笑着对我说
Forget it
忘了吧
There were lovers in the park
公园里曾有恋人依偎
And there was danger in the dark I felt it
而黑暗中的危机 我分明感知
So afraid of it
如此畏惧它的降临
And there were preachers of the word and poets
布道者诵读经文 诗人低吟
Who were never heard I heard them
却从未被倾听 而我听见了
There were those who would not try to learn
有人拒绝去领悟
The measure of the lie they're livin'
自己活在谎言的尺度里
And I heard a young musician play in a place
我听见年轻乐手在某处弹奏
Where they paid you not to listen
他们花钱让你充耳不闻
I heard a woman scream for help while men stood by
我听见女人呼救 男人们袖手旁观
And offered their best wishes
只送上他们最"诚挚"的祝福
That's how it is
这就是现实
It was too unreal for me
这一切太过虚幻不实
I found no one who trusted me
我找不到可以信赖的人
There was no man could offer me
没有人愿意向我伸出援手
A cold hand from New York
纽约的冷漠之手
Cold hands from New York
纽约的冰冷双手
A voice within you cries
你内心在呐喊
Won't someone please help me

I'll do the same for you one day

If you should ever pass my way and need me

A voice within you cries

I'll do the same for you one day
