Smoke and Ashes - Tracy Chapman

I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk
我听过流言蜚语我也听过传言
About the trail you'd left of broken hearts
你让我伤心欲绝
About the sea of tears too wide to cross
泪水如大海般浩瀚无法逾越
But a little bad press has never scared me off
但一点点负面报道从来都无法将我吓退
So I burned a path to figure out
所以我开辟了一条道路来寻找答案
How to get me some of what you got
如何让我拥有你拥有的一切
I've got a red hot heart
我有一颗炽热的心
If the talk is true your's is the same
如果你说的都是真的那你也不会变
And we should be together
我们应该在一起
And let our passions fan love's flame
让我们的激情点燃爱的火焰
When I looked for you I almost passed you by
当我寻找你时我差点与你擦肩而过
You were so cool and calm
你镇定自若
I thought my friends had lied
我以为我的朋友在撒谎
But I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside
可我以为你故作矜持一定让你心乱如麻
It was there and then that I knew
那一刻我就知道
I had to get some of what you got
我必须拥有你拥有的一切
I've got a red hot heart
我有一颗炽热的心
If the talk is true your's is the same
如果你说的都是真的那你也不会变
And we should be together
我们应该在一起
And let our passions fan love's flame
让我们的激情点燃爱的火焰
I thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand in mine
当我牵着你的手我以为我赢得了你的心
I thought it was true love the way we complemented each other
我以为我们天长地久这就是真爱
But my right is your wrong
但我的对就是你的错
And when you're right then I'm left with nothing
当你说对了我就一无所有
Your light and your heat have all been spent
你的光芒你的热情都已消失殆尽
Leaving only smoke and ashes
留下的只有灰烬
Only smoke and ashes baby
只有烟与灰烬宝贝
I've got a red hot heart
我有一颗炽热的心
And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
你的心就像你血管里的血一样蓝
I say there's fire down below
我说烈火熊熊燃烧
You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
你说一切都是浮云宝贝
I'm crying all the time
我一直在流泪
Salty stinging tears
咸咸的刺痛的泪水
And mourning for the past carbon-dated years
为过去的碳年代哀悼
But knowing now for certain that you were always right
但现在我知道你一直都是对的
Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life
因为如果微风可以将你从我的生命中吹走
It's only smoke and ashes baby
宝贝一切都已成往事
Only smoke and ashes baby
只有烟与灰烬宝贝

I was blinded by devotion
我被爱蒙蔽了双眼
My unwavering love for you
我对你坚定不移的爱
So blinded that I thought all your lies were true
如此盲目我以为你的谎言都是真的
But now I know for certain since you've gone away
但现在我知道了自从你离开以后
It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze
那只是一团闷烧的火我误以为是熊熊烈焰
Only smoke and ashes baby
只有烟与灰烬宝贝
