- Owl City The Tornado 歌詞
- Owl City
- It was just starting to drizzle as I walked out the door
當我走出房門外面便下起濛濛細雨
But l've delivered papers in the rain like that before
但以前我就這樣在雨中送過信
Three thirty in the morning, I was happy as a lark
凌晨三點半我高興得像只百靈鳥
As I grabbed my bike and rode into the dark
此時我抓著把手在夜裡蹬著自行車
I pedaled through the neighborhood, the weather on my mind
騎過鄰居家心中甚是明朗
The wind was picking up and howling louder all the time
風一直猛烈地吹個不停
The sky churned like a cauldron and the distant thunder roared
天空劇烈晃動如同鍋裡的沸水遠處電閃雷鳴
And I knew that I was in for quite а storm
我知道我正駛入風暴之中
A little rain never hurt no one so I kept pressing on
小雨沒有半點傷害所以我繼續前行
And I tried to tell myself, it's always darkest before the dawn
試圖告訴自己黎明前往往是無邊的黑暗
Lightning struck an oak tree as I leapt off my bike
當我騎車猛衝時閃電擊中了一棵橡樹
The sirens started wailing but there was no good place to hide
汽笛開始響起可四周沒有地方讓我躲藏
I knew without а doubt, there was а twister touching down
毫無疑問龍捲風就要來臨
So I crawled into а culvert to wait it out
所以我爬進涵洞裡等待暴風雨過去
The little bit of courage I had left was almost gone
最後一絲勇氣也快要用完了
But I tried to tell myself, it's always darkest before the dawn
但我試圖告訴自己黎明前總是黑暗
And then the nightmare started, it got deafeningly loud
隨即噩夢來臨向我大聲叫囂
Everything fiber in me screamed out but I couldn't make a sound
我十分恐懼卻不能發出半點聲響
The whirling of а vortex, а violent carousel
猛烈的漩渦席捲而來
It sounded like a freight train was dragging me to hell
聲音大得就像火車快要把我拽進地獄
And this was my prayer, 'save me from this terrible nightmare'
我大聲祈禱著'快把我從這噩夢中解救出來'
That was when I saw my family with my eyes shut real tight
這時我看到我的家人我幾乎快要閉上眼睛
Would they know how much I loved them if this was how I died?
如果我就要這樣死去他們會知道我有多愛他們嗎?
No, I vowed l'd not be murdered by а monster in the sky that night
我發誓我絕不會死在今夜這天上的怪獸手裡
But if I went home to heaven, at least that's where l'd belong
但如果我回到家至少這才是我的歸屬
Yeah I tried to tell myself, it's always darkest before the dawn
多少次我告訴自己黎明前永遠是至深的黑暗
So I kept hanging on
所以我繼續堅持著
I kept hanging on
繼續挺著
The shadows slowly melted as I was hunkered down
隨著我盤坐下去影子也慢慢不見了踪影
Till at last the worst was over, the storm was dying out
至少最糟糕的已經過去風暴正一點點褪去
I crept out of that culvert and I went weak in the knees
我走出涵洞感到膝蓋發軟
Cuz what I saw was a somber sight to see
因為目光所及一切都那麼昏暗
There was nothing but destruction and wreckage in that town
這個小鎮裡除了斷壁殘垣什麼也沒有
Cars were upside down and houses leveled to the ground
汽車被掀翻房子被夷為平地
A twisted trampoline was hanging from the power lines
電線上掛著一個扭成麻花的蹦床
I blinked a tear back cuz I felt lucky to be alive
我擠出一滴淚水慶幸自己還活著
And that was how I learned to live when you can run but you can't hide
當你可以逃跑卻無處可藏時便學會瞭如何生存
How to feel trapped in a tunnel but come out the other side
被困在隧道裡又從另一旁逃出是種什麼感覺
Cuz with all the stormy weather in the world, you learn to take
因為這世上所有的挫折你都要學會承受
Life one storm at a time, you don't have to be afraid
生活裡會一次次遇到風暴你不必害怕它
And now when there's bad weather on the way, I stay calm
現在當壞天氣又要降臨時我會保持冷靜
And I keep hanging on because it's always darkest before the dawn
繼續堅持下去畢竟黑暗過後就是黎明
And I keep hanging on
我會繼續堅持
I keep hanging on
堅持到底
