Year of the Cat - Al Stewart

Year of the Cat - Al Stewart

On a morning from a Bogart movie
在鲍嘉电影里的一个早晨
In a country where they turn back time
在一个乡村，时间倒流
You go strolling through
你像彼得·罗一样
The crowd like Peter Lorre
漫步在人群里
Contemplating a crime
眼睛直直地盯着一个罪犯
She comes out of the sun
她走出阳光
In a silk dress running
穿着真丝连衣裙奔跑
Like a watercolor in the rain
就像雨中的水彩画一样
Don't bother asking for explanations
别想得到任何解释
She'll just tell you that she came
她只会告诉你
In the year of the cat
她来自猫年
She doesn't give you time for questions
她不会给你提问的时间
As she locks up your arm in hers
她让你们紧紧相拥
And you follow till
你一直跟随她
Your sense of which direction
直到你的方向感
Completely disappears
完全消失
By the blue tiled walls
在蓝色的瓷砖墙壁旁边
Near the market stalls
在街道的摊位附近
There's a hidden door she leads you to
她带你去隐形之门
These days she says "I feel my life
她说，我感觉自己的生活
Just like a river running through"
就像流水一般潺潺流动
The year of the cat
在这猫年
Why she looks at you so coolly
为什么她如此冷漠地看着你
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
她的双眼闪闪发光，就像倒映在大海中的月亮
She comes in incense and patchouli
她浑身带着香气
So you take her to find
所以你带着她
What's waiting inside
找到内心等待的东西
The year of the cat
在这猫年
Well morning comes and you're still with her
早晨来了，你仍和她在一起
And the bus and the tourists are gone
班车走了，游客们也走了
And you've thrown away
你放弃了你的选择
Your choice and lost your ticket
你丢失了车票
So you have to stay on
所以，你得等待
But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
但是鼓声依旧，夜晚又来临了
In the rhythm of the new-born day
在新的一天
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
有时你很清楚，你注定要离开她
But for now you're going to stay
但是现在，你得留下来
In the year of the cat
在这猫年
Year of the cat
在这猫年
