Tom's Diner
汤姆的小餐馆
【歌词】
I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner
I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee
And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue
He is looking
Out the window
At somebody
Coming in
清晨,
我坐在
拐角处
小餐馆
在吧台前边，
等那个男人
给我倒咖啡，
他只倒了
一半的量，
在我正想
同他抗议，
他看向窗外,
某个人
快要进来。
"It is always
Nice to see you"
Says the man
Behind the counter
To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella
And I look
The other way
As they are kissing
Their hellos
I'm pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milk
"见到你
总令人高兴"
吧台后男人
对刚进来的
女人说道，
她正抖着
伞上的雨水。
我转头看向
另一方向，
他们亲吻着
互问对方好
我假装
没有看见，
我赶紧着
倒了些牛奶。
I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor
Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of
And I'm turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies
When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head
我打开
报纸，
有篇报道
关于一个演员，
他在饮酒时
死去了，
不过是某个
所谓人物罢了。
我转向看
星象栏目，
接着寻找
有趣的东西，
我突然感觉
有人在窥看我
于是我就
抬起了头。
There's a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection
And I'm trying
Not to notice
That she's hitching
Up her skirt
And while she's
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
has gotten wet
有一个女人
在窗玻璃外，
正看向里面
她是在看我么?
不,她并没有
真的在看我，
而是在看着
玻璃上她自己的影像。
我试图不去注意，
当她撩起裙子
去拉紧长袜时，
她的头发
被雨水打湿。
Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I'm listening
To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice
And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began
哦，这场雨
一定会持续
整个的早晨。
我一直听着，
教堂的钟声。
我想念起
你的声音，
和午夜的野餐
以前的某个时间，
在这场雨落下前。
And I finish up my coffee
And it's time to catch the train
我喝光我的咖啡，
现在该去赶那趟火车了。
