The Day Before You Came - Bruno Coulais (布鲁诺.库列斯)

I must have left my house at eight because I always do
我一定会八点出门 因为我一向如此
My train I'm certain left the station just when it was due
我确定我的火车会准点出站
I must have read the morning paper going into town
我一定会在去小镇地路上读报纸
And having gotten through
看完社论
The editoria no doubt I must have frowned
我一定会皱眉
I must have made my desk
我一定会在九点十五分左右
Around a quarter after nine
整理桌子
With letters to be read
那上面有未读的信件
And heaps of papers waiting to be signed
和成堆需要签署的文件
I must have gone to lunch
十二点半
At half past twelve or so the usual place the usual bunch
我一定会在老地方和一群老伙计一起吃饭
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
除此之外 我确定外面会下雨
The day before you came
你到来的前一天
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
我一定会在两点半燃起我的第七支香烟
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
那时我总是无忧无虑
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
我一定是太忙了
Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away
不知不觉 我丢失了自己
At five I must have left
我一定会在五点下班离开
There's no exception to the rule
我的规矩和日常里
A matter of routine
没有例外
I've done it ever since I finished school
毕业之后一直如此
The train back home again
火车到家
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
毫无疑问 我一定读了晚报
Oh yes I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
是的 我坚信这些例行日常能让我的生活井然有序
The day before you came
你到来的前一天
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
我一定会在八点左右打开我的前门
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
在路边买一些中餐外卖
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
我确定我会一边看电视一边吃晚饭
There's not I think
我想我没有错过
A single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
任何一集达拉斯
I must have gone to bed
我一定会在十点十五分左右
Around a quarter after ten
上床睡觉
I need a lot of sleep
我很嗜睡
And so I like to be in bed by then
所以我喜欢在那个时间上床
I must have read a while
我一定会读一点
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
玛丽莲弗兰奇的最新小说或者类似的读物
It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim
真奇怪 我一点也没感觉到自己活得没有目标
The day before you came
你到来的前一天
And turning out the light
我关上灯
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
我一定会打着哈欠 蜷缩着度过又一个夜晚
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
我一定听见了雨打在房顶的声音
The day before you came
你到来的前一天
