《The Dangling Conversation》歌词

[00:00:00] The Dangling Conversation

[00:00:29] //

[00:00:29] It's a still life water color

[00:00:33] 就像一幅静物水彩画

[00:00:33] Of a now late afternoon

[00:00:36] 画中暮色苍茫

[00:00:36] As the sun shines through the curtained lace

[00:00:40] 阳光穿透纱帘

[00:00:40] And shadows wash the room

[00:00:45] 满室浮光掠影

[00:00:45] And we sit and drink our coffee

[00:00:51] 我们安坐啜饮咖啡

[00:00:51] Couched in our indifference

[00:00:53] 各自冷漠地窝在沙发里

[00:00:53] Like shells upon the shore

[00:00:54] 如沙滩上的贝壳

[00:00:54] You can hear the ocean roar

[00:00:59] 耳中充斥海浪的喧嚣

[00:00:59] In the dangling conversation

[00:01:03] 漫无目的的闲聊

[00:01:03] And the superficial sighs

[00:01:07] 肤浅庸俗的叹息

[00:01:07] The borders of our lives

[00:01:13] 横梗于我们之间的是彼此生活间的边界

[00:01:13] And you read your Emily Dickinson

[00:01:17] 你读你的艾米莉·狄金森

[00:01:17] And I my Robert Frost

[00:01:20] 我读我的罗伯特·弗罗斯特

[00:01:20] And we note our place with bookmarkers

[00:01:24] 我们在书页别上书签

[00:01:24] That measure what we've lost

[00:01:29] 标记着未读的篇章，就好似失落的人生

[00:01:29] Like a poem poorly written

[00:01:34] 我们是一首蹩脚的诗歌

[00:01:34] We are verses out of rhythm

[00:01:37] 没有节奏的诗文

[00:01:37] Couplets out of rhyme

[00:01:39] 失去韵律的对句

[00:01:39] In syncopated time

[00:01:45] 散落在时间的碎片里

[00:01:45] Lost in the dangling conversation

[00:01:47] 漫无目的的闲聊

[00:01:47] And the superficial sighs

[00:01:51] 肤浅庸俗的叹息

[00:01:51] Are the borders of our lives

[00:01:57] 正是横梗于我们之间的彼此生活间的边界

[00:01:57] Yes we speak of things that matter

[00:02:01] 是的，我们谈论的都是重要的事情

[00:02:01] With words that must be said

[00:02:05] 是必须得发声评论的事情

[00:02:05] "Can analysis be worthwhile "

[00:02:08] 这些分析有价值吗？

[00:02:08] "Is the theater really dead "

[00:02:13] 戏剧是否真的已死？

[00:02:13] And how the room is softly faded

[00:02:18] 满室色彩悄然随暮色退却

[00:02:18] And I only kiss your shadow

[00:02:21] 我只能吻到你的影

[00:02:21] I cannot feel your hand

[00:02:23] 却触不到你的手

[00:02:23] You're a stranger now unto me

[00:02:27] 你此刻于我倏然变得如此陌生

[00:02:27] Lost in the dangling conversation

[00:02:31] 迷失在漫无目的的闲聊中

[00:02:31] And the superficial sighs

[00:02:35] 迷失在肤浅庸俗的叹息里

[00:02:35] In the borders of our lives

[00:02:40] 迷失在横梗于我们之间的彼此生活间的边界
