Man in the Long Black Coat - Bob Dylan

Crickets are chirping the water is high
蛐蛐唧唧喳喳地吵着，河水高涨
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hanging' dry
绳子上有一条柔软的棉裙
Window's wide open African trees
窗户洞开，外面是一棵非洲树
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze
狂风肆虐
Not a word a goodbye not even a note
不说再见，不给留言
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
她就跟穿黑长袍的人走了
Somebody seem him hanging' around
有人看见了他
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
在镇郊外的那个老舞厅游荡
He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
当他窥视她的时候
If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask
她停下邀请他一起跳舞，因为他有一张面具般的脸
Somebody said from the Bible he quote
有人说他曾引用过《圣经》里的某段话
There was dust on the man in the long black coat
穿黑长袍的那个人满身灰尘
Preacher was talking' there's a sermon he gave
传教士正在布道
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved
他说每个人的良心都是堕落可憎的
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
不能让它做我们的引路人
When it's you who must keep it satisfied
对此你必须深信不疑
It ain't easy to swallow it sticks in the throat
忠告难信，忠言逆耳
She gives her heart to the man in the long black coat
她把她的心交给了穿黑长袍的人
There are no mistakes in life some people say
有些人说世间无所谓意外
And it's true sometimes you can see it that way
有时候确实如此，你会有所体会
People don't live or die people just float
但人不只是生死轮回，人人如浮尘
She went with the man in the long black coat
她跟穿黑长袍的人走了
There's smoke on the water it's been there since June
话说水面从六月开始便冒出青烟
Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon
月牙之下三根树杆被连根拔起
Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumbling' force
脉搏急速，响声震耳
Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse
有人在那儿鞭打一匹死马
She never said nothing' there was nothing' she wrote
她从未开口，也从未留言
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
她跟穿黑长袍的人走了
