诗一般的英文歌词

鲍勃迪伦的　《blowing in the wind》
　　How many roads must a man walk down
　　Before they call him a man
　　How many seas must a white dove sail
　　Before she sleeps in the sand
　　How many times must the cannon balls fly
　　Before they're forever banned
　　The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
　　The answer is blowing in the wind
　　How many years must a mountain exist
　　Before it is washed to the sea
　　How many years can some people exist
　　Before they're allowed to be free
　　How many times can a man turn his head
　　And pretend that he just doesn't see
　　The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
　　The answer is blowing in the wind
　　How many times must a man look up
　　Before he can see the sky
　　How many ears must one man have
　　Before he can hear people cry
　　How many deaths will it take
　　'Till he knows that too many people have died
　　The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
　　The answer is blowing in the wind

        Hello darkness my old friend. 嘿，黑夜啊。我的老友。
　　I've come to talk with you again. 我又来找你聊天了。
　　Because a vision softly creeping. 因为有个幻影轻轻爬进来。
　　Left its seeds while I was sleeping. 趁我熟睡时暗暗播下了种子。

　　Still remains. 萦绕盘旋不去。
　　Within the sound of silence ! 在寂静无声的此刻！
　　In restless dreams I walk alone. 在无数不平静的梦中我茕茕独行。
　　Narrow streets of cobble stone. 行走在鹅卵石铺成狭窄街道上。
　　Neath the halo of a street lamp. 头顶上街灯的光晕将我笼罩。
　　I turned my collar to the cold and damp. 我竖起衣领以抗御这湿冷的夜。
　　When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light. 当我的眼睛为刺眼的霓虹灯闪烁所迷时。
　　That split the night. 霓虹灯的闪烁也划破了夜空。
　　And touched the sound of silence. 打破了黑夜的沉静。
　　And in the naked light I saw. 在无遮灯照耀下我看到
　　Ten thousand people maybe more. 人头攒动
　　People talking without speaking. 有的人在说着无聊的话语。
　　People hearing without listening. 有的人在漫不经心的听着别人说。
　　People writing songs that voices never share. 有的人在写着那些从不会被传唱的歌。
　　And no one dare. 但没有人敢于去
　　Disturb the sound of silence. 打破这份静默。
　　"Fools" said I, "You do not know. 我说道：愚蠢的人啊，你们不知道
　　Silence like a cancer grows. 静默会像癌细胞那样扩散。
　　Hear my words that I might teach you. 听我的话,我才能教导你。
　　Take my arms that I might reach you. 抓紧我的手,我才能救你。
　　But my words like silent rain-drops fell. 但是我的话却如寂静无声的雨点落下。
　　And echoed in the wells of silence. 徒然回响在沉静的井里。
　　And the people bow and prayed. 人们仍然顶礼膜拜着。
　　To the neon God they made. 自己塑造的霓虹灯神(文明)。
　　And the sign flash out its warning. 霓虹灯(文明)以它闪烁的文字显出其预兆。

　　And the sign said "The words of the prophets. 预兆显示:先知的话语
　　Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls. 已被写在地铁的墙上以及出租公寓的走廊上。
　　And whispered in the sounds of silence. 也在无声的静默中被轻声传送。
　　经典版意译：
　　寂静吾友，君可安然。
　　又会君面，默语而谈。
　　浮光掠影，清梦彷徨。
　　幽幽往昔，慰我心房。
　　寂静之声，孤独过往。
　　迢迢陋巷，回声辗转。
　　薄襟何耐，子夜灯凉。
　　忧伤流布，寂寞声残。
　　忽而望之，灯下熙攘。
　　无声而言，无事而忙。
　　愚者何知，寂静如伤。
　　且相携手，听我衷肠。
　　寂静雨珠，连落难断。
　　造神祈祷，正经虔然。
　　警语宣诫，且莫失忘。
　　万千心语，谁知其详？
　　唯尔寂静，轻声永传。

The sun is burning in the sky
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
In the park the lazy breeze
Are joining in the flowers, among the trees
And the sun burns in the sky
Now the sun is in the West
Little kids go home to take their rest
And the couples in the park
Are holdin hands and waitin for the dark
And the sun is in the West
Now the sun is sinking low
Children playin know its time to go
High above a spot appears
A little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low
Now the sun has come to Earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
Death comes in a blinding flash
Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to Earth
Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain and fear
Twisted, sightless wrecks of men
Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared

My mouth was a crib & it was growing lies.
I didnt know what love was on that day!
My hearts a tiny blood clot.
I picked at it.
It never heals,it never goes away!
I burned all the good things in The Eden Eye!
We were too dumb too run too dead 2 die!
I burned all the good things in The Eden Eye!
This was never my world!
U took the angel away.
Id kill myself 2 make everybody pay!
I would have told her then.
She was the only thing.
That I could love in this dying world!
But the simple word "Love" itself.
Already died and went away!
Her hearts a bloodstained egg!
We didnt handle with care!
Its broken and bleeding.
And we can never repair!

Paul Simon 保罗西蒙

I am heading for a time of quiet
When my restlessness is past
And i can lie down on my blanket
And release my fists at last
I am heading for a time of solitude
Of peace without illusions
When the perfect circle
Marries all beginnings and conclusions
And when they say
That you're not good enough
Well the answer is
You're not
But who are they
Or what is it
That eats at what you've got
With the hunger of ambition
For the change inside the purse
They are handcuffs on the soul, my friends
Handcuffs on the soul
And worse
I am heading for a place of quiet
Where the sage and sweetgrass grow
By a lake of sacred water
From the mountain's melted snow

杨笑春

"Let us be lovers,
We'll marry our fortunes together.
I've got some real estate
Here in my bag."
So we bought a pack of cigarettes,
And Mrs. Wagner's pies,
And walked off
To look for America.
Simon Paul
"Kathy," I said,
As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh,
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now.
It took me four days
To hitchhike from Saginaw.
I've come to look for America."
Laughing on the bus,
Playing games with the faces,
She said the man in the gabardine suit
Was a spy.
I said, "Be careful,
His bow tie is really a camera."
"Toss me a cigarette,
"We smoked the last one
An hour ago."
So I looked at the scenery,
She read her magazine;
And the moon rose over an open field.
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said,
Though I knew she was sleeping.
"I'm empty and aching and
I don't know why."
Counting the cars
On the New Jersey Turnpike.
They've all come
To look for America,
All come to look for America,
All come to look for America.

        Have you seen the old man
　　In the closed down market
　　Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
　　In his eyes you see no pride
　　Hands held loosely at his side
　　Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
　　你可曾见过那么老的一个人
　　在市场打烊后
　　拖着他破烂了的鞋子踢着被丢弃的报纸
　　在他的眼睛里你看不到自豪的神采
　　双手散漫的垂在身旁
　　过期的报纸上，写着过期的故事
　　So how can you tell me you're lonely
　　And say for you that the sun don't shine
　　Let me take you by the hand
　　And lead you through the streets of London
　　I'll show you something
　　To make you change your mind
　　你怎么能告诉我你是孤独的呢
　　说太阳都不肯为你散发光亮
　　让我牵着你的手
　　带着你走过伦敦的街头吧
　　让你看看那儿发生的事情
　　它们会把你来改变
　　Have you seen the old girl
　　Who walks the streets of London
　　Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
　　She's no time for talking
　　She just keeps right on walking
　　Carrying her home in two carrier bags
　　你可见过那年华不再的女子
　　姗姗走过伦敦的街头
　　披着她灰脏的头发和碎破的衣服
　　她没有空儿停下来聊点什么
　　就只是一劲儿向前走着
　　带着两只旅行包，那是她的全部家当
　　So how can you tell me you're lonely
　　And say for you that the sun don't shine
　　Let me take you by the hand
　　And lead you through the streets of London
　　I'll show you something
　　To make you change your mind
　　所以你怎么能告诉我你是孤独的呢
　　说连太阳都不肯把你照耀
　　让我牵着你的手
　　带着你走过伦敦的街头吧
　　让你看看那儿发生的事情
　　它们会把你来改变
　　In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
　　The same old man sitting there on his own
　　Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
　　Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
　　十一点一刻，古旧的咖啡夜店里
　　还是那同一个老人独自坐在那儿
　　越过他茶杯的边缘看着这个世界
　　每一杯他都会喝一个小时，然后拖着孤独的脚步回家去
　　So how can you tell me that you're lonely
　　Don't say for you that the sun don't shine
　　Let me take you by the hand
　　And lead you through the streets of London
　　I'll show you something
　　To make you change your mind
　　所以你怎么能告诉我你是孤独的呢
　　别说连太阳都不肯把你照耀
　　让我牵着你的手
　　带着你走过伦敦的街头吧
　　让你看看那儿发生的事情
　　它们会把你来改变
　　Have you seen the old man
　　Outside the seaman's mission
　　Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
　　In our winter city the rain cries a little pity
　　For one more forgotten hero
　　And a world which doesn't care
　　你见过那些老去的男人们吗
　　他们结束了海上的漂泊使命
　　记忆和他佩戴的缎带一起慢慢褪色
　　在这个城市的冬季，细雨呜咽出辛酸的惋惜
　　为着被遗忘的英雄
　　和这毫不为此牵挂的世界
　　So how can you tell me you're lonely
　　And say for you that the sun don't shine
　　Let me take you by the hand
　　And lead you through the streets of London
　　I'll show you something
　　To make you change your mind
　　所以你怎么能告诉我你是孤独的呢
　　说是连太阳都不会来把你照耀
　　让我牵着你的手
　　带着你走过伦敦的街头吧
　　看看那儿发生的事情
　　它们会把你来改变

Look out on a summer's day

Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

In colors on the snowy linen land

Like the strangers that you've met

翻译是“心灵草帽”的翻译
He was born in the Bitterroot Valley in the early morning rain
Wild geese over the water, heading north and home again
Bringing a warm wind from the south, bringing
the first taste of the spring
His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing:
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
He never knew his father and he never did ask why
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
His mother's brother took him in to his family and his home
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land
And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
On the eve of his 21st birthday, he set out on his own
He was 30 years and running when he found his way back home
Riding a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart
Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
Now he never told the story of the time that he was gone
Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a john
There was something in the city that he said he couldn't breathe
There was something in the country that he said he couldn't leave
Now some say he was crazy and some are glad he's gone
But some of us will miss him and we'll try to carry on
Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn
Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on
一个飘雨的清晨他出生于特鲁特山谷
大雁飞过水面，向北向家的方向飞去
带来了南方温暖的风和春天的气息
母亲把他抱在怀中，轻轻吟唱：
哦，蒙大拿州，给了这孩子一个家
给了他来自好的家和妻子的爱
给了他心中的火，给了他眼里的光彩
给了他因为弟弟和蒙大拿天空而存在的旷野的风
他的母亲去世那年夏天，他忍住了泪
他从不知他的父亲是谁，也从没问过
他从不知捷径的答案
但他学会热爱了旷野和成为一个怎样的人
叔叔领养了他
给了他依靠和让他学会了坚强。
他成了一个农民，他懂得了热爱土地
他学会了读书，他学了站立
在他21岁生日前夕，他出去寻找自己的世界
当他而立之年看到通往家的路是时他跑里起来
山峦上风云翻滚，如同他的内心
他说他的生活将翻开新的一页
现在他不再诉说他过去的经历
有人说他曾是一名律师，有人说他名叫约翰
他说城市有很多让他无法呼吸的东西
而乡村有很多让他无法舍弃的东西
现在有人说他疯了，有些则高兴他离开
但我们有些人会想念他，我们将继续
歌唱森林，歌唱黎明
歌唱他居住的旷野和土地
