[00:00:00] Three Flights Up - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)

[00:00:08] //

[00:00:08] On the first floor On the first floor

[00:00:15] 这里是一楼

[00:00:15] On the first floor there＇s a young girl reeling

[00:00:18] 一楼有个年轻女孩晕倒了

[00:00:18] Her body＇s numb and without feeling

[00:00:19] 她的身体麻木没有知觉

[00:00:19] As illusions dance on the midnight ceiling

[00:00:22] 午夜的天花板上出现幻想中的舞蹈

[00:00:22] Now she＇s falling now she＇s kneeling

[00:00:28] 现在她倒下了 跪倒在我身边

[00:00:28] It＇s almost like she＇s bowed in prayer

[00:00:31] 就像她在恭敬地祈祷

[00:00:31] A savior she＇s about to bear

[00:00:34] 向她的救世主祈祷

[00:00:34] She screams for help but no one＇s there

[00:00:42] 她大声呼救 但没有人回应

[00:00:42] On the first floor

[00:00:52] 这里是一楼

[00:00:52] On the first floor people walk the halls

[00:00:53] 在一楼人们走过大厅

[00:00:53] But none can hear her desperate calls

[00:00:56] 但是没有人听见她绝望的呼救

[00:00:56] There is no sound beyond the walls

[00:00:58] 在墙的另一边没有任何声响

[00:00:58] So to the telephone she crawls

[00:01:02] 所以她爬向了电话

[00:01:02] She telephones her only friend

[00:01:04] 她打电话向唯一的朋友求救

[00:01:04] The one on whom she can depend

[00:01:08] 那是她唯一可以依赖的对象

[00:01:08] But the phone rings on without an end

[00:01:11] 但是电话一直在响没有人接听

[00:01:11] Then rings no more On the first floor

[00:01:52] 最后电话不再响 这里是一楼

[00:01:52] There＇s a party on the second floor

[00:01:55] 此时的二楼有一个聚会

[00:01:55] And through the picture window you can see them all

[00:02:01] 透过落地窗玻璃你能看见他们的身影

[00:02:01] They＇re laughing and they＇re dancing

[00:02:04] 他们放声大笑翩翩起舞

[00:02:04] Admiring the Renoir that＇s hanging on the wall

[00:02:12] 欣赏着挂在墙上的Renoir画作

[00:02:12] But in the master bedroom where the coats are piled high

[00:02:17] 主卧室里床上的外套堆积如山

[00:02:17] A silent saddened lady thinks of what it＇s like to die

[00:02:22] 一个沉默悲伤的妇人在思考死亡是什么样子

[00:02:22] And as she dwells on all the years she still has left to face

[00:02:28] 她回忆这些年的时光 觉得还有事情无法面对

[00:02:28] She wonders how she＇ll ever find someone to take his place

[00:02:37] 她想知道 为何她没再嫁

[00:02:37] Then suddenly she＇s jarred by the ringing of the phone

[00:02:42] 突然电话铃响起 吓了她一跳

[00:02:42] Oh why do you ring now just when I want to be alone

[00:02:47] 你为什么这时候打来 我只想一个人待着

[00:02:47] So she walks into the bathroom and drinks some water from a cup

[00:02:55] 她走进浴室端起杯子喝了口水

[00:02:55] But the telephone stops ringing just before she picks it up

[00:03:31] 但当她拿起电话对方已经挂断

[00:03:31] My family was very poor

[00:03:35] 我家非常穷

[00:03:35] So I worked hard to be secure

[00:03:40] 所以我得努力工作求生存

[00:03:40] I married one I had to wed

[00:03:45] 我娶了一个应该结婚的人

[00:03:45] And not the one I loved instead

[00:03:54] 却放弃了一个我爱的人

[00:03:54] When I was young my blood ran wild

[00:03:58] 我年轻时 总是热血沸腾

[00:03:58] But we stayed married for the child

[00:04:03] 我们奉子成婚

[00:04:03] Now three flights up I＇m all alone

[00:04:09] 如今三个孩子都长大了 但我还是孤身一人

[00:04:09] My wife is dead my child is grown

[00:04:18] 妻子去世后 孩子仍在成长

[00:04:18] My daughter leads a wayward life

[00:04:22] 我的女儿总是任性不堪

[00:04:22] She＇s been a failure as a wife

[00:04:29] 她是一个失败的妻子

[00:04:29] And though she lives just one floor down

[00:04:34] 尽管她就住在楼下

[00:04:34] She never calls or comes around

[00:05:00] 她也不曾打电话或者过来转转

[00:05:00] Step off the platform and onto the train

[00:05:04] 走进月台上了火车

[00:05:04] Look out your window and into the rain

[00:05:09] 透过窗户可以看见雨中的迷雾

[00:05:09] Watch all the buildings that pass as you ride

[00:05:14] 火车开动后你可以看见建筑往后移

[00:05:14] And count all the stories that go on inside

[00:05:18] 细数那些仍在发生的故事

[00:05:18] And then ask yourself if it must be this way

[00:05:23] 问问自己是否一切必须按照这样的轨迹发展

[00:05:23] Should walls and doors and plaster ceilings

[00:05:29] 那些门 墙壁和灰泥吊顶

[00:05:29] Separate us from each others＇ feelings

[00:05:34] 是否真能分隔我们对彼此的感情
