Diamonds and rust
“As I remember your eyes
were bluer than robin"s eggs...”
Well , I"ll be damned .Here comes your ghost again
你的鬼魂又再度出现
But that"s not unusual
但这并非不寻常
It"s just that the moon is full and you happened to call
只因今晚月圆，你又恰巧打电话来
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
我坐在这儿，手持电话
Hearing a voice I"d known, a couple of light years ago
听着我熟悉的声音，那是几个光年以前
Heading straight for a fall
彷佛不断的向下坠落
As I remember your eyes
依稀记得你的眼睛
were bluer than robin"s eggs
比知更鸟蛋更蓝
My poetry was lousy, you said
你说我写的诗糟透了
"Where were you calling from?"
"你从那里打电话来？"
"A booth in the Midwest"
"在中西部的某个电话亭"
Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks
十年前我买过袖扣送你
You brought me something
你亦送了一些东西给我
We both know what memories can bring
我们都明白回忆能够带给我们的
They bring diamond and rust
它们给了我们钻石与铁锈
Well, you burst on the scene were already a legend
当你在我面前骤现，已然是个传奇人物
The unwatched phenomenon,
一种无法提防的现象
the original vagabond you strayed into my arms
一个真正的流浪者，你漂泊入我的臂弯
And there you stayed ,temporarily lost at sea
而你的停留，如海上的短暂迷航
The Madonna was yours for free
有着圣母的眷顾
Yes, the girl on the half shell Could keep you unharmed
保护你不被伤害
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around
如今，我看到你伫立在黄叶纷飞中
Snow in your hair
发上覆着白雪
Now you"re smiling out the window of that crummy hotel over Washington Square
在那可以远眺华盛顿广场的小旅馆窗前
Our breath comes out white cloud mingles
你我呼出的气如白云般交错
and hangs in the air
凝结在冷空气中
Speaking strictly for me
对我来说
We both could"ve died then and there
我们那时差点死去
Now you"re telling me you"re not nostalgic
如今你对我说，你并不怀乡念旧
Then give me another word for it
那么请你找另一个字来代替
You who"re so good with words and at keeping thing vague
使之暧昧难懂
Cause I need some of that vagueness now
因为现在我正需要那样的暧昧不明
It"s all come back too clearly
过去的一切都太清晰了
Yes , I love you dearly
是的，我深爱着你
And if you"re offering me diamonds and rust
如果你又给我钻石与铁锈
I"ve already paid
告诉你，我已付出过代价了
