In My Secret Life
有些歌词打动我，有些震撼我；有些让我心痛。比如下面：
Looked through the paper./Makes you want to cry./Nobody cares if the people/Live or die./And the dealer wants you thinking/That it’s either black or white./Thank G-d it’s not that simple/In My Secret Life.
I bite my lip./I buy what I’m told:/From the latest hit,/To the wisdom of old./But I’m always alone./And my heart is like ice./And it’s crowded and cold/In My Secret Life. -
2008-08-26 15:05:11 C Fontaine (Delicate)
I smile when I’m angry./I cheat and I lie./I do what I have to do/To get by./But I know what is wrong,/And I know what is right./And I’d die for the truth/In My Secret Life.

2008-12-08 20:53:20 忽然竟有了些凋敝的光景
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
Youd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without lili marlene -

Those were the reasons and that was New York,
we were running for the money and the flesh.
And that was called love for the workers in song
probably still is for those of them left.
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
you just turned your back on the crowd,
you got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don't need you,
I need you, I don't need you
and all of that jiving around.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said,
"Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music."

Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting night and day.
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away.
There were lots of invitations
and I know you sent me some,
but I was waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
I know you really loved me.
but, you see, my hands were tied.
I know it must have hurt you,
it must have hurt your pride
to have to stand beneath my window
with your bugle and your drum,
and me I'm up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
You wouldn't like it here.
There ain't no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
The Maestro says it's Mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Waiting for the miracle
There's nothing left to do.
I haven't been this happy
since the end of World War II.
Nothing left to do
when you know that you've been taken.
Nothing left to do
when you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you've got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come.
I dreamed about you, baby.
It was just the other night.
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light.
The sands of time were falling
from your fingers and your thumb,
and you were waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come
Ah baby, let's get married,
we've been alone too long.
Let's be alone together.
Let's see if we're that strong.
Yeah let's do something crazy,
something absolutely wrong
while we're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Nothing left to do
when you know that you've been taken.
Nothing left to do
when you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
when you've got to go on waiting
waiting for the miracle to come.
When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you'll say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come. -

You Have Loved Enough
I said I’d be your lover.
足以让我深陷其中
You laughed at what I said.
你笑我呓语痴狂
I lost my job forever.
我为你放弃所有
I was counted with the dead.
死神已向我招手
I swept the marble chambers,
我泪撒殿堂石阶
But you sent me down below.
但你无情诀别
You kept me from believing
终使我深信
Until you let me know:
深信
That I am not the one who loves ¨c
我不是授爱之人
It’s love that seizes me.
而是爱将我绑缚
When hatred with his package comes,
当憎恨涌向心头
You forbid delivery.
却难于发泄
And when the hunger for your touch
当诚心期盼你的抚慰
Rises from the hunger,
如饥似渴般
You whisper, you have loved enough,
你却低吟, 你的爱已所剩无几
Now let me be the lover.
让我成为你的情人吧
I swept the marble chambers,
我泪撒殿堂石阶
But you sent me down below.
但你无情诀别
You kept me from believing
终使我深信
Until you let me know:
深信
That I am not the one who loves ¨c
我不是授爱之人
It’s love that chooses me.
是爱情选择了我
当憎恨涌向心头
You forbid delivery.
却难于发泄
And when the hunger for your touch
当诚心期盼你的抚慰
Rises from the hunger,
如饥似渴般
You whisper, you have loved enough,
你却低吟, 你的爱已所剩无几
Now let me be the lover.

这首词个人比较喜欢。翻译了一下。多多指教。
tower of song....Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
Oh in the Tower of Song
I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A hundred floors above me
In the Tower of Song
I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
They tied me to this table right here
In the Tower of Song
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
Ah they don't let a woman kill you
Not in the Tower of Song
Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices
In the Tower of Song
I see you standing on the other side
I don't know how the river got so wide
I loved you baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We'll never have to lose it again
Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly
From a window in the Tower of Song
Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
Oh in the Tower of Song我的朋友们都已逝去。我的头发也灰白了。
我怀念曾经那些玩儿过的地方。
我为爱痴狂但我不再追寻了。
每天只是交了房租后，呆在这音乐的高塔中。
我对Hank Williams说：“能有多无聊？”
Hank Williams至今还未回答我。
但我听他咳嗽了一整夜。
在这音乐的高塔中。感到上百层楼梯压着我。
我生下来就这样，这我无法选择。
我生来上天就赐了我一副金嗓子。
来世的27个天使。
她们把我绑在这个桌子上，绑在这音乐之塔的桌子上。
所以你完全可以把那些针插在那邪恶的玩偶上。
实在对不起宝贝。这的确不像我的作风。
我站在窗前，站在这灯光强烈的窗前。
她们不会让个女人杀了你。
尤其不会在这音乐的高塔里。
或许你会说我成长了些。
但这个你基本可以肯定。有钱的人们在穷人们的卧室里，看着他们自己的频道。
或许会有一天会对这进行判决。但也许我是错误的。
你总能看到听到这些嬉笑声。在这音乐的高塔里。
我看见你站在另一面。
我不知道为什么这河流会是如此之宽。
我爱你宝贝。很久以前了。
我们曾经渡过的桥梁都在燃烧，
但我又感到我和我失去了的东西是如此之近。
我们可不能再去失去了。
现在我向你道别。我不知道什么时候可以回来。
明天我们会被带到这高塔附近的小路上。
我死很久以后。你也许会收到我的来信。
透过这音乐高塔的窗户，我将会与你甜蜜的说话。
我的朋友们都已逝去。我的头发也灰白了。
我怀念曾经那些玩儿过的地方。
我为爱痴狂但我不再追寻了。
每天只是交了房租后，呆在这音乐的高塔中。 -

Now the courtroom is quiet, but who will confess.
Is it true you betrayed us? The answer is Yes.
Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine,
I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline.
And all the ladies go moist, and the judge has no choice,
a singer must die for the lie in his voice. -

Lady Midnight
I came by myself to a very crowded place;
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face.
I found her there but she was past all concern;
I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me,"
but she scorned me and she told me
I was dead and I could never return.
Well, I argued all night like so many have before,
saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
she said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,
just win me or lose me,
it is this that the darkness is for."
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
"If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,
I could hear my lady calling,
"You've won me, you've won me, my lord,
you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord, -

I heard of a man
who says words so beautifully
that if he only speaks their name
women give themselves to him.
If I am dumb beside your body
while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips.
it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside the door. -
