歌词
Streets Of London - Ralph McTell
Have you seen the old man
你可曾见过那位老人
In the closed down market
在关闭的市场里徘徊
Kicking up the papers
用他破旧的鞋子
With his worn out shoes
踢着散落的报纸
In his eyes you see no pride
眼中看不到一丝尊严
Hands held loosely at his side
双手无力垂在身侧
Yesterday's paper
昨日的报纸
Telling yesterday's news
讲述着过时的新闻
So how can you tell me you're lonely
你怎能说自己是孤独的
And say for you that the sun don't shine
还声称阳光从不为你照耀
Let me take you by the hand
让我牵起你的手
And lead you through the streets of London
带你穿过伦敦的街道
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
我会让你看到改变心意的景象
Have you seen the old girl
你可曾见过那位老妇人
Who walks the streets of London
独自徘徊在伦敦街头
Dirt in her hair
发丝沾满尘埃
And her clothes in rags
她衣衫褴褛
She's no time for talking
无暇与人交谈
She just keeps right on walking
只是不停地向前走
Carrying her home
带着她的全部家当
In two carrier bags
装在两个塑料袋里
So how can you tell me you're lonely
你怎能说自己是孤独的
And say for you that the sun don't shine
还声称阳光从不为你照耀
Let me take you by the hand
让我牵起你的手
And lead you through the streets of London
带你穿过伦敦的街道
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
我会让你看到改变心意的景象
And in the all night cafe
在那通宵营业的咖啡馆
At a quarter past eleven
十一点十五分时
Same old man
仍是那位老人
Sitting there on his own
独自坐在那里
Looking over the world
凝望着这个世界
Over the rim of his tea cup
茶沿氤氲间
Each tea lasts an hour
一杯茶饮尽长日
And he wanders home alone
他独自蹒跚归途
So how can you tell me you're lonely
你怎能说自己是孤独的
Don't say for you that the sun don't shine
莫道你的世界永夜无光
Let me take you by the hand
让我牵起你的手
And lead you through the streets of London
带你穿过伦敦的街道
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
我会让你看到改变心意的景象
Have you seen the old man
你可曾见过那位老人
Outside the seaman's mission
伫立在海员会馆门外
Memory fading with
记忆随勋章缎带
The medal ribbons that he wears
褪色成模糊的残影
In our Winter city
在这冬日的城市里
The rain cries a little pity
细雨落下点点怜悯
For one more forgotten hero
为又一个被遗忘的英雄
And a world that doesn't care
和冷漠无情的世界
So how can you tell me you're lonely
你怎能说自己是孤独的
And say for you that the sun don't shine
还声称阳光从不为你照耀
Let me take you by the hand
让我牵起你的手
And lead you through the streets of London

I'll show you something to make you change your mind
