There's a dream I have
我做着一个梦
It comes back when all the days turn into one
它会在所有日子归一时重现
I'm in a coat and hat
我穿着外套感觉很热
And I'm standing on the coast of England
我站在英吉利海岸
With a castle and cathedral on the sand
沙土里耸起城堡和大教堂
I reached down to touch the water with my hand
我往下走,用手去感知水
Then you turn and say to me
然后你就出现了,对我说
You've been talking in your sleep
你一直在梦中呓语
What did you see? What does it mean?
你看见了什么?这意味着什么?
I was a photograph
我是一张照片
Of our daytrip from the window of a train
上面记录着我们的火车车窗景色一日游
The one we cut in half
我们把它一分为二
I kept mine and made a bookmark on a page
我留着我的一半做书签
It fell out today as I was getting packed
今天我收拾东西时它掉出来了
Have I left you here more times than I've come back?
我把你留在这儿的次数比我回来的要多吗?
Like that snowfall out of reach
就像触不可及的雪花
We kept our details underneath
我们把细节深埋
Once made of stone, we went for broke
一旦心意已定,我们就分崩离析
I didn't know
我不知道
Are you a dreamer?
你是梦想家吗?
昔日时光
文/[美国]乔伊. R.金,译/樱娘 Madam Cherry
回首昔日时光,
生活简单,也许有一点厌倦。
那时的生活多么美好,
那是很久,很久以前。
淑女的衣裙镶着蕾丝花边,
满足的笑容在她们的脸庞浮现。
她们的秀发垂至腰际,
举止优雅,高贵自然。
被追求者的臂膀呵护时,
她们的魅力无疑迷人光艳。
当白日将尽,
她们会喝一杯薄荷朱利酒,也许两杯。
在那些日子里,人们相互交谈,
而不是相互发短信,
从前女人是淑女,
男人是儿男,
从前的时光,那是很久以前。
原文:Days of Yore
Back in days of yore,
Life was simple, maybe a little of a bore.
Life was good back then,
Way, way back when.
Ladies has dresses adorned with lace,
And a smile of contentment on their face.
They has gorgeous hair down to their waist,
And exuded poise and a gentle grace.
They also has a certain charm,
When escorted on their suitor’s arm.
When day was almost through,
They would have a mint julep or two.
In those days people talked to one another,
Instead of always texting each other,
Back when ladies were ladies,
And men were men,
Back in the days of way back when.
