郁闷纠结

刺耳的口琴，不着调地叙事，是他当年的一贯风格。

十三年前我用磁带随身听放这歌，一曲终了似乎能遥想多年后的自己。现在知道我的人生没有曲中人物的沧桑，强说愁罢了。



手机正在刷机，我还不能睡。没事翻译一下歌词，学习诗人的语感。

Tangled Up In Blue
by: Bob Dylan

Early one morning the sun was shining
一天清晨 阳光照耀
I was laying in bed
我躺在床上
Wond'ring if she'd changed it all
想着她是否全然改变
If her hair was still red
她的头发是否依然红色
Her folks they said our lives together
她的乡亲说我们生活在一起
Sure was gonna be rough
这么说很草率
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
他们从不喜欢妈妈自制的衣服
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough
认为爸爸的存折也不够厚
And I was standing on the side of the road
而我站在路边
Rain falling on my shoes
雨打在我鞋上
Heading out for the East Coast
向着东海岸前进
Lord knows I've paid some dues getting through
上帝知道我付出多少代价走到这步
Tangled up in blue.

She was married when we first met
我们初识她已嫁人
Soon to be divorced

I helped her out of a jam I guess
我想是我帮她逃出了火坑
But I used a little too much force
但着实花了不少力气
We drove that car as far as we could
我们把车能开多远就多远
Abandoned it out West
把它扔在西部
Split it up on a dark sad night
在一个漆黑的伤心夜分手
Both agreeing it was best
我俩都认为那是最好的结果
She turned around to look at me
她转身看我
As I was walking away
我渐行渐远
I heard her say over my shoulder
听身后传来她的声音
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue"
“我们某天将在大街上重逢。”

I had a job in the great north woods
我在大北部森林找了份活儿
Working as a cook for a spell

But I never did like it all that much

And one day the axe just fell

So I drifted down to New Orleans

Where I happened to be employed

Working for a while on a fishing boat

Right outside of Delacroix

But all the while I was alone
那段时间我独自一人
The past was close behind
过去的一切远远抛在身后
I seen a lot of women

But she never escaped my mind and I just grew

She was working in a topless place

And I stopped in for a beer

I just kept looking at her side of her face
我盯着她的侧脸
In the spotlight so clear
在聚光灯下如此清晰
And later on as the crowd thinned out
过了一会儿人群散去
I's just about to do the same

She was standing there in back of my chair
她站在我椅子后面
Said to me "Don't I know your name ?"
问道：“我们可曾相识？”
I muttered something underneath my breath

She studied the lines on my face

I must admit I felt a little uneasy

When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe

"I thought you'd never say hello" she said

"You look like the silent type"
“你看让去是个安静的类型”
Then she opened up a book of poems
然后她翻开一本诗集
And handed it to me

Written by an Italian poet

And every one of them words rang true

And glowed like burning coal

Pouring off of every page
