Blue Valentines - Tom Waits (汤姆·威兹)
Written by:Tom Waits
She sends me blue valentines
她从费城邮来了
All the way from Philadelphia
一封诀别信
To mark the anniversary
用来纪念
Of someone that I used to be
逝去的曾经
And it feels like
这感觉就好像
A warrant out for my arrest
发出了我的逮捕令
Bbay you
宝贝
Got me checkin' in my rearview mirror
你发现我在后视镜中检查自己的仪表
That's why I'm always on the run
我经常四处飘荡
That's why I change my name
这是为何我要改变自己的名字
And I didn't think you'd ever find me here
我不认为你会在这找到我
To send me blue valentines
寄来的这封诀别信
Like half forgotten dreams
好像快被遗忘的梦
Like a pebble in my shoe
好像我沿街行走时
As I walk these streets
鞋中的沙粒
And the ghost of your memory
而关于你的回忆阴魂不散
Baby
宝贝
Is the thistle in the kiss
好像吻中的蓟花
It's the bugler that can break a roses neck
它是会折断玫瑰的窃贼
It's the tattooed broken promise
是我掩藏在心底的
I got hide beneath my sleeve
破碎的但永不会被磨灭的诺言
And I see you every time I turn my back
每次转身都能看见你的身影
She sends me blue valentines
她寄来了诀别信
Though I try to remain at large
尽管我试图保持自由
They're insisting that our love
他们坚持认为我们的爱
Must have a culogy
必须要歌颂我们的爱情
Why do I save all of this madness
为何我要保留床头柜抽屉中的
In the nightstand drawer
种种疯狂的过去
There to haunt upon my shoulders
它们萦绕在我的肩头
Baby I know
宝贝我知道
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
如果我能带着西服下
With this blind and broken heart
这颗盲目破碎的心四处游荡
Sleeps beneath my lapel
那么我会更加幸运
She sends me blue valentines
她寄来了诀别信
To remind me of my cardinal sin
用来提醒我犯下的种种罪行
I can never wash the guilt
我永远也无法洗刷我的罪过
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
或是洗掉手上的血迹
And it takes a lot of whiskey
我要喝无数的烈酒
To make these nightmares go away
才能摆脱这些噩梦
And I cut my bleedin' heart out every night
每夜 我的心都在滴血
And I die just a little more on each st valentine day
每到情人节 我的心就会再麻木一点
Don't you
你记得吗
Remember I promised I would
我曾承诺过
Write you
会为你写下
These blue valentines
这些诀别信
Blue valentines
这些诀别信
Blue valentines
这些诀别信
