以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by：Elvis Costello/T.-Bone Burnett

Mistreat me darling and I might just disappear
若你苛待我 亲爱的 我或许就此消失无踪
Upon freighter running dark out of Algiers
货轮在阿尔及尔的夜色中悄然驶离
Put tiny grains in children's tears
将细碎沙砾掺进孩童的泪滴
While taking 25% of all the flashbulbs and mementoes
同时掠走闪光灯与纪念品中25%的回忆
From the mechanized divisions rolling over your frontiers
机械化师团正碾过你的边境线
I saw my baby talking to a man today
今日我看见爱人与陌生男子交谈
Speaking softly in a confidential way
他们低声细语 交换着隐秘的誓言
I saw a shadow pull his glove off
阴影里 有人缓缓褪下手套
As a bluebird flew over
蓝鸟掠过天际
Life's is no pleasure
生活失去欢愉
When you doubt the one you love
当你怀疑所爱之人
Who are all these strangers
这些陌生面孔是谁
I never will go back again
我决不再回头
Go back into the past
重返过往时光
The flood is rising fast
洪水急速上涨
You can break your window and look down
你可砸碎窗户俯视
Into a muddy glass
透过浑浊的玻璃
For it's mirror or lens to burn
镜片或透镜燃烧成灰
There was a deal done in Benghazi and Belgrade
班加西与贝尔格莱德曾有过交易
Upon a scimitar or other crooked blade
弯刀或别的利刃上达成
Ransacks and loots vacated suits
洗劫空荡的西装
And pistol points but never shoots
手枪瞄准却从不扣动扳机
Army sitting in a locomotive yard without their boots
军队赤脚坐在机车场
Upstairs your man is painting the rain out in the street
楼上你的男人正将街上的雨抹去
Imagines woman that he's destined still to meet
幻想命中注定相遇的女子
He's trying sidetrack one to count on
他试图转移注意 寻找依靠
Caught somewhere between countess or a courtesan
游走在伯爵夫人与交际花之间
And it's only love to feign and then it's gone
不过是逢场作戏 转瞬即逝
Who are all these strangers
这些陌生面孔是谁
He's a privateer as dusk gets near
暮色渐近时 他成了私掠者
A brigand after dark his victim lined with chalk
夜幕下的强盗 用白粉标记猎物
A corsair filled with horsehair to the core
海盗船里塞满鬃毛 腐朽至髓
Dashed on your eyes of adamantine
你坚如磐石的眼神中闪过失望
You despised his stripling whine
你厌弃他稚嫩的哀鸣
That little smudger and the mouthpiece that he's with
那个满嘴谎话的小混混和他的同伙
Using his clause just like a practised fingersmith
像老练的扒手般玩弄着法律条文
I dreamed I took his digit prints
梦中我拓下他的指纹
And then I sewed them on a villain's hands
缝在恶徒的手上
Watched him ransom and demand
冷眼看他勒索叫嚣
Until called the flatfoots in
直到警察被叫来
I never will go back again
我决不再回头
Go back into the past
重返过往时光
The flood is rising fast
洪水急速上涨
You can break your window and look down
你可砸碎窗户俯视
Into a muddy glass
透过浑浊的玻璃
For it's a mirror or lens to burn
它像镜子或透镜般灼烧
Who are all these strangers
这些陌生面孔是谁
All these strangers
满目皆是陌路人
Sat down on a narrow bed
蜷坐窄床思绪沉
Thought about the things she said
她的话语萦绕心门
All these strangers
满目皆是陌路人
How I wished the night would never end
多愿长夜永不破晓
Tried to stop the days ahead
妄图截断来日光阴
I'd carve her name down in the wood
我愿将她的名字刻进木纹
Some small remembrance if I could
若能留下些微的纪念
