- Ralph McTell Streets of London 歌詞
- Ralph McTell
- Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
你曾否見過這個老人？走在打烊的市場裡
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
拖著破爛的鞋子，踢著腳下的報紙
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely at his side
在他的眼裡你未看到半點自豪，兩手疲散在身旁
Yesterdays paper telling yesterdays news
昨昔的報紙講述昨昔的故事
So how can you tell me youre lonely
所以你怎麼能說你孤單？
And say for you that the sun dont shine
說太陽也不為你摛光
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
我要搭起你的手，帶你走過倫敦的街巷
Ill show you something that will make you change your mind
給你看看那兒的事，使你心回意轉
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
你曾否見過那個荳蔻不在的女孩？漫步在倫敦的街道上
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
蓬首垢面鶉衣百結
Shes no time for talking she just keeps right on walking
她沒有功夫閒談，匆促前行
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
全部家當在兩個手提包裡
So how can you tell me youre lonely
所以你怎麼能說你孤單？
And say for you that the sun dont shine
說太陽也不為你摛光
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
我要搭起你的手，帶你走過倫敦的街巷
Ill show you something that will make you change your mind
給你看看那兒的事，使你心回意轉
In the all night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
在這不打烊的咖啡館，十一點又是一刻
Same old man sitting there on his own
一如往常，老人獨自坐在這兒
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
從茶杯的邊沿細瞇世界
Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone
只杯茶僅能熬過一個鐘頭，此後便要落寞回家
So how can you tell me youre lonely
所以你怎麼能說你孤單？
And say for you that the sun dont shine
說太陽也不為你摛光
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
我要搭起你的手，帶你走過倫敦的街巷
Ill show you something that will make you change your mind
給你看看那兒的事，使你心回意轉
Have you seen the old man, outside the seamans mission?
你曾否見過那個老人？早已退役的海軍
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
記憶與隨同綬帶勳章漸漸褪色
In our winter city the rain cries a little pity
在這寒冷的城市，雨點為此嘆息
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesnt care
為著又一個被忘記的豪杰和一個冷漠的世界
So how can you tell me youre lonely
所以你怎麼能說你孤單？
And say for you that the sun dont shine
說太陽也不為你摛光
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
我要搭起你的手，帶你走過倫敦的街巷
Ill show you something that will make you change your mind
給你看完那兒的事，使你心回意轉
