Procol Harum《A Whiter Shade Of Pale》苍白的浅影

1967《A Whiter Shade Of Pale》

演唱：Procol Harum(普洛可哈伦乐团)

We skipped the light fandango

我们跳着轻快的凡丹戈舞

Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

侧手翻越过地板

I was feeling kinda seasick

我有点晕船

But the crowd called out for more

但群众吆喝着再来一些

The room was humming harder

屋内越来越吵杂

As the ceiling flew away

天花板好像掀开

When we called out for another drink

我们叫另一盅酒

And the waiter brought a tray

侍者带了一个托盘

And so it was that later

就在这不久之后

As the miller told his tale

磨坊主人说起他的故事

That her face, at first just ghostly

她的脸 起初如鬼魅般

Turned a whiter shade of pale

转为更浅的苍白阴影

She said, ＂There is no reason

她说没有任何原因

And the truth is plain to see.＂

事实显而易见

But I wandered through my playing cards

但我漫不经心在纸牌间

And they would not let her be

不允许她成为

One of sixteen vestal virgins

十六位灶神的贞仆之一

Who were leaving for the coast

离开我往海边去

And although my eyes were open wide

虽然我睁开了双眼

They might have just as well been closed

但不如紧闭着

And so it was that later

就在这不久之后

As the miller told his tale

磨坊主人说起他的故事

That her face, at first just ghostly

她的脸 起初如鬼魅般

Turned a whiter shade of pale

转为更浅的苍白阴影

And so it was that later

就在这不久之后
