以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I heard it in the wind last night
昨夜风声中我依稀听见
It sounded like applause
仿佛是掌声在回荡
Did you get a round resounding for you
那经久不息的喝彩
Way up here
是否为你而响
It seems like many dim years ago
恍若隔世的许多年前
Since I heard that face to face
曾与你促膝长谈
Or seen you face to face
或相对无言
Though tonight I can feel you here
今夜却觉你近在身旁
I get these notes
我收到这些信件
On butterflies and lilac sprays
蝴蝶与丁香花间飘来的字句
From girls who just have to tell me
来自那些忍不住要告诉我的女孩们
They saw you somewhere
说在某个地方遇见过你
In some office sits a poet
某间办公室里坐着一位诗人
And he trembles as he sings
他颤抖着唱出心声
And he asks someone
他恳请某人
To circulate his soul around
将他的灵魂传递四方
On your mark red ribbon runner
起跑线上系着红丝带
The caressing rev of motors
引擎轻抚般的轰鸣
Finely tuned like fancy women
如盛装贵妇般精致调校
In thirties evening gowns
身着三十年代晚礼服
Up the charts
榜单攀升
Off to the airport-
直奔机场
Your name's in the news
你的名字见诸报端
Everything's first class-
一切都享头等礼遇
The lights go down-
灯光渐暗
And it's just you up there
台上只剩你一人
Getting them to feel like that
让观众为之动容
Do you remember the days when you used to sit
可还记得那些日子 你静坐一隅
And make up your tunes for love
为爱谱写旋律
And pour your simple sorrow
将纯真忧伤倾注
To the soundhole and your knee
于琴箱与膝间
And now you're seen
而今你被众人瞩目
On giant screens
在巨大的荧幕上
And at parties for the press
在媒体的酒会中
And for people who have slices of you
在那些觊觎你光环的人群里
From the company
来自公司的安排
They toss around your latest golden egg
他们肆意炒作你最新的成就
Speculation well who's to know
流言四起 谁能预料
If the next one in the nest
下一个巢中的金蛋
Will glitter for them so
是否还能让他们如此狂热
I guess I seem ungrateful
或许我显得不知感恩
With my teeth sunk in the hand
咬着那只给予我的手
That brings me things
它带给我太多
I really can't give up just yet
我实在无法轻易放弃
Now I sit up here
如今我坐在这里
The critic
成为评论家
And they introduce some band
看着他们介绍新乐队
But they seem so much confetti
那些荣耀如纸屑般飘散
Looking at them on my TV set
透过荧幕静静凝望
Oh the power and the glory
权力与光环转瞬即逝
Just when you're getting a taste for worship
当你初尝被崇拜的滋味
They start bringing out the hammers
他们便举起锤头
And the boards
扛来木板
And the nails
握着铁钉
I heard it in the wind last night
昨夜风声中我依稀听见
It sounded like applause
仿佛是掌声在回荡
Chilly now
此刻寒意渐浓
End of summer
夏日的终章
No more shiny hot nights
不再有炽热的夜晚
It was just the arbutus rustling
不过是杨梅树沙沙作响
And the bumping of the logs
原木轻轻碰撞
And the moon swept down black water
月光掠过漆黑水面
Like an empty spotlight
像一盏熄灭的聚光灯
