Written by：Harry Chapin

It was raining hard in 'Frisco
旧金山大雨倾盆
I needed one more fare to make my night
再载一单就能收工
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
前方有位女士挥手拦车
She got in at the light
她在红灯时上了车
Oh where you going to my lady blue
蓝衣女士要去何方
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain
真可惜雨水打湿了你的裙装
She just looked out the window and said
她只是望向窗外轻语
Sixteen Parkside lane
帕克赛德巷十六号
Something about her was familiar
她身上有种熟悉的气息
I could swear I'd seen her face before
我发誓曾见过她的脸庞
But she said I'm sure you're mistaken
她却说"你肯定认错人了"
And she didn't say anything more
而后便陷入沉默
It took a while but she looked in the mirror
许久她才望向车内后视镜
And she glanced at the license for my name
瞥见执照上我的名字
A smile seemed to come to her slowly
笑意在她眼底缓缓浮现
It was a sad smile just the same
那笑容依旧带着忧伤
And she said how are you harry
她轻声问 哈里 你还好吗
I said how are you sue
我回应 苏 你怎么样
Through the too many miles
穿越了太长的路途
And the too little smiles
和太少的笑容
I still remember you
我仍记得你模样
It was somewhere in a fairy tale
那仿佛是童话里的时光
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
在那辆道奇车后座 我们初尝爱的滋味
The lesson hadn't gone too far
这堂课我们都没能学透
You see she was gonna be an actress
她曾梦想成为耀眼明星
And I was gonna learn to fly
而我渴望翱翔天际
She took off to find the footlights
她奔向璀璨舞台
And I took off to find the sky
我追寻万里长空
Oh I've got something inside me
如今我心底藏着
To drive a princess blind
让公主目眩神迷的力量
There's a wild man wizard
有个狂野的巫师
He's hiding in me illuminating my mind
藏在我心底 照亮我的思绪
Oh I've got something inside me
如今我心底藏着
Not what my life's about
并非我生命的全部
Cause I've been letting my outside tide me
因为我任由外在的潮水
Over 'till my time runs out
将我淹没 直到时光耗尽
Baby's so high that she's skying
宝贝飞得太高 仿佛翱翔天际
Yes she's flying afraid to fall
是的 她害怕坠落却仍在飞翔
I'll tell you why baby's crying
让我告诉你她为何哭泣
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
穿过大门与修剪整齐的草坪
And she said we must get together
她说我们该再聚聚
But I knew it'd never be arranged
但我知道这永远无法实现
And she handed me twenty dollars
她递给我二十美元
For a two fifty fare she said
车费只需两块五 她说
Harry keep the change
哈利 不用找了
Well another man might have been angry
换作别人或许会恼怒
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
但别人绝不会就这样放她离开
I stashed the bill in my shirt
我将钞票藏进衬衫
And she walked away in silence
她默默转身离去
It's strange how you never know
多么奇妙 我们从未预料
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for
但多年前的愿望 竟都各自成真
Such a long long time ago
那段岁月已如此遥远
You see she was gonna be an actress
她曾梦想成为耀眼明星
And I was gonna learn to fly
而我渴望翱翔天际
She took off to find the footlights
她奔向璀璨舞台
And I took off for the sky
我飞向无垠天际
And here she's acting happy
此刻她笑容灿烂
Inside her handsome home
在她华丽的家中
And me I'm flying in my taxi
而我开着出租车飞翔
Taking tips and getting stoned
收着小费 飘飘欲仙
I go flying so high when I'm stoned
当我沉醉时 飞得那么高
