[00:00:11] All the happy couples on their way to New Orleans

[00:00:16] 所有的幸福夫妇都前往新奥尔良

[00:00:16] Reminding me of when we got along

[00:00:22] 让我想起了我们在一起的时光

[00:00:22] They're only renting time

[00:00:23] 他们腾出时间和空间

[00:00:23] And space to fill up with their dreams

[00:00:26] 然后填满梦想

[00:00:26] And dreams are what they'll have when they have gone

[00:00:31] 哪怕有一天他们终将离去 这些梦想将会长存

[00:00:31] How could it be that

[00:00:33] 我怎么会毫无头绪地

[00:00:33] I was born without a clue to carry on

[00:00:36] 来到这个世上

[00:00:36] And still it is the same now I am older

[00:00:42] 当我老去时也还是一模一样

[00:00:42] Armed with just a will

[00:00:43] 一心一念

[00:00:43] And then this love for singing songs

[00:00:47] 只钟爱唱歌

[00:00:47] And minding less and less if I am colder

[00:00:52] 要是我变得冷漠 在意的就会变少

[00:00:52] But I have this funny ache

[00:00:56] 但是有一种痛楚

[00:00:56] And it's burning in my chest

[00:00:59] 在我胸口煎熬

[00:00:59] And it spreads just like a fire inside my body

[00:01:05] 它就像火焰一样燃遍全身

[00:01:05] Is it something god left out in my spirit

[00:01:09] 这是上帝遗漏在我的灵魂

[00:01:09] Or my flesh

[00:01:11] 和身体里的吗

[00:01:11] Would I be saved if I were brave and had a baby

[00:01:17] 如果我勇敢并有孩子相伴 我是否能得到救赎

[00:01:17] It was never clear what would come

[00:01:19] 谁也不知道将来会发生什么

[00:01:19] Next but that's the risk and that's the test

[00:01:23] 这是我们必须承受的风险和考验

[00:01:23] And you were the only one so far to follow

[00:01:28] 而你是唯一一个直到现在还在不停追逐的人

[00:01:28] And no one talks about

[00:01:30] 我们从来不提及

[00:01:30] When one might stop and need to rest

[00:01:33] 什么时候可以停下 停下来休息一下

[00:01:33] How long you sit alone

[00:01:35] 或是你要独自一人坐多久

[00:01:35] Before you stop looking back

[00:01:38] 才不再回顾往事

[00:01:38] It's like you're waiting for Godot

[00:01:40] 这就像是你在等待戈多

[00:01:40] And then you pick your sorry a** up off the street and

[00:01:45] 然后带着这个可怜人离开这条街

[00:01:45] Go

[00:01:56] 继续前行

[00:01:56] And what the hell is this

[00:01:59] 这究竟是怎么回事

[00:01:59] Who made this bloody mess

[00:02:02] 究竟是谁把局面搞得乱七八糟

[00:02:02] And someone always answers like a martyr

[00:02:08] 有些人总是以烈士的姿态面对一切

[00:02:08] Is it something you should know

[00:02:11] 这是你应该知道的东西吗

[00:02:11] Did you never do your best

[00:02:14] 你是否从来没有竭尽全力

[00:02:14] Would you be saved if you were brave

[00:02:16] And just tried harder

[00:02:20] 或者只要更加努力就可以了

[00:02:20] So now I ride the ought one thirtyfive to New Orleans

[00:02:26] 所以现在我沿着三十五号公路驶往新奥尔良

[00:02:32] A thousand lonely lifetimes

[00:02:34] 数不清楚的孤独时光

[00:02:34] I still wait and then go on

[00:02:37] 我走走停停

[00:02:37] A clown to entertain the happy couples

[00:02:42] 在幸福的夫妇面前 我只是供人取笑的小丑
