It was raining hard in 'Frisco
旧金山大雨倾盆
I needed one more fare to make my night
我还差一趟就能结束这夜晚
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
前方有位女士挥手示意我停下
She got in at the light
她在红灯时上了车
Oh where you going to my lady blue
哦 你要去哪儿 我的蓝衣女士
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain
真遗憾你的礼服被雨水打湿
She just looked out the window she said
她只是望向窗外 说道
"Sixteen Parkside Lane"
“帕克赛德巷16号”
Something about her was familiar
她身上有种熟悉的感觉
I could swear I'd seen her face before
我敢发誓我曾见过她的面容
But she said "I'm sure you're mistaken"
但她说：“你一定是认错了”
And she didn't say anything more
之后便再未多言
It took a while but she looked in the mirror
过了一会儿，她看向后视镜
And she glanced at the license for my name
瞥了一眼我的驾照上的名字
A smile seemed to come to her slowly
她的脸上慢慢浮现出一丝微笑
It was a sad smile just the same
但那笑容依旧带着忧伤
And she said "How are you Harry "
她说：“你好吗，哈利？”
I said "How are you Sue
我说：“你好吗，苏？”
Through the too many miles
穿过太多的里程
And the too little smiles
和太少的微笑
I still remember you "
我依然记得你
It was somewhere in a fairy tale
那仿佛是在某个童话里
I used to take her home in my car
我曾开车送她回家
We learned about love in the back of the Dodge
我们在道奇车的后座学会了爱
The lesson hadn't gone too far
但那份课程并未走得太远
You see she was gonna be an actress
你看，她曾梦想成为演员
And I was gonna learn to fly
而我曾渴望翱翔天际
She took off to find the footlights
她启程追寻舞台的灯光
And I took off to find the sky
而我则飞向无垠的天空
Oh I've got something inside me
哦，我心中有种力量
To drive a princess blind
足以让一位公主迷失方向
There's a wild man wizard
有个狂野的巫师
He's hiding in me illuminating my mind
他藏在我心中 照亮我的思绪
Oh I've got something inside me
哦，我心中有种力量
Not what my life's about
并非我生活的全部
Cause I've been letting my outside tide me
因为我一直让外在的潮水牵引我
Over 'till my time runs out
直到我的时间耗尽
Baby's so high that she's skying
宝贝飞得如此之高 仿佛翱翔天际
Yes she's flying afraid to fall
是的 她在飞翔 却害怕坠落
I'll tell you why baby's crying
我会告诉你为何她在哭泣
Cause she's dying aren't we all
因为她正在凋零 我们又何尝不是
There was not much more for us to talk about
我们之间已无话可说
Whatever we had once was gone
曾经拥有的一切早已消逝
So I turned my cab into the driveway
于是我调转车头驶入车道
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns
穿过大门和修剪整齐的草坪
And she said we must get together
她说我们一定要再聚
But I knew it'd never be arranged
但我知道这永远不会实现
And she handed me twenty dollars
她递给我二十美元
For a two fifty fare she said
对于两元五角的车费，她说
"Harry keep the change "
“哈利，不用找了”
Well another man might have been angry
换作别人或许会生气
And another man might have been hurt
换作别人或许会受伤
But another man never would have let her go
但换作别人绝不会让她离开
I stashed the bill in my shirt
我把钞票塞进衬衫
And she walked away in silence
她默默地走远了
It's strange how you never know
真奇怪 你永远无法预知
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for
但我们最终都得到了曾经所求
Such a long long time ago
那是很久 很久以前的事了
You see she was gonna be an actress
你看 她曾梦想成为演员
And I was gonna learn to fly
而我曾渴望翱翔天际
She took off to find the footlights
她启程追寻舞台的灯光
And I took off for the sky
而我则飞向了广阔的天空
And here she's acting happy
她在这里假装快乐
Inside her handsome home
在她那华丽的家中
And me I'm flying in my taxi
而我 开着我的出租车飞翔
Taking tips and getting stoned
收着小费 飘飘欲仙
I go flying so high when I'm stoned
当我飘飘欲仙时 我飞得如此之高
