- Al Stewart Year of the Cat 歌詞
- Al Stewart
- On a morning from a Bogart movie
剛看完鮑嘉電影的早晨
In a country where they turn back time
在一個時間倒流的國度
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
你像彼得·洛一樣踱步過人海
Contemplating a crime
彷彿在盤算一起兇案
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
她穿著絲綢的長裙從太陽里奔來
Like a watercolor in the rain
像是雨中流淌的水彩
Dont bother asking for explanations
不要多問為什麼
Shell just tell you that she came
她只會告訴你
In the year of the cat
她來自越南的貓年
She doesnt give you time for questions
她不會留給你時間提問
As she locks up your arm in hers
只是輕輕挽住你的手臂
And you follow till your sense of which direction
你跟從著她的引領，直到你的方向感
Completely disappears
徹底迷亂
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
在夜市邊的藍色花磚牆下
Theres a hidden door she leads you to
她領你走進一扇掩藏的門
These days, she says, 'I feel my life “
這些天來，”，她說，“我覺得我的生命
Just like a river running through'
就像一條枯竭的河流。”
The year of the cat
在越南的貓年
Why she looks at you so coolly?
她為何如此冷淡地看著你，
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
閃爍的雙眼就像海裡的月影？
She comes in incense and patchouli
她身上滿是熏香和廣藿的氣息
So you take her, to find whats waiting inside
於是你跟上她，想知道有什麼在等著你
The year of the cat
在越南的貓年
Well morning comes and youre still with her
又一天的早晨來到，她還睡在你的身旁
And the bus and the tourists are gone
公車和遊人都已散去
And youve thrown away your choice and lost your ticket
你拋棄了計劃，弄丟了車票
So you have to stay on
只好繼續留下
But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
可新生的一天的節奏
In therhythm of the new-born day
還延續著昨夜不知疲倦的鼓點
You know sometime youre bound to leave her
你知道總有一天你會離開她
But for now youre going to stay
可現在你只得被困在
In the year of the cat
越南的貓年
Year of the cat
越南的貓年
