伦敦的街头——Sinead O'connor

 

Streets Of London - Ralph Mctell 
Streets Of London
曲: | 词: | 编:
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

* 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 *

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
Repeat *

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
Repeat *

Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman''s mission
Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
In our city winter the rain cries little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world which doesn''t care
Repeat *
 
译：伦敦的街头——Sinead O'connor
你看见打了烊的市场里的老男人吗
他用破烂的鞋子踢 拾起旧报纸
在他眼里你见不到丝毫的自尊
他在用自己的方式休憩
昨天的报纸说的是昨天的新闻

你怎样向我诉说你的孤独
诉说着太阳已没有光彩
让我牵着你的手
领着你穿过伦敦街头
我将向你展现一些改变你心境的风光

你看见在伦敦街头漫步的老女人吗
灰垢嵌在她的头发里
她衣衫褴褛
她没有时间说话
她只剩下走路的权利
她带着两只购物袋麻木地回家

在晚上的十一时一刻
那个老人坐在咖啡店里沉浸在自己的世界中
他们越过茶杯的边沿看着世界
喝完一杯茶要一小时
然后他独自徘徊到家

你看见外面那个老男人吗
他也是一个已消失的水手
记忆和他身上那件带绶带的衣服都褪色了

在我们这个冬天的都市
雨水夹带着一点点同情在轻轻哭泣
为了那些被忘却的英雄和不理睬他们的世界
