Alice - Tom Waits

Alice (Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan)

It's dreamy weather we're on
梦一般的天气包裹我们
You waved your crooked wand
你挥舞那根弯曲的木棍
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
在结冰的池塘边冰冻的月光下
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
黑色剪影被刺杀，我看见鸦群
And the tears on my face
泪水滑落我脸庞
And the skates on the pond
池塘冰面上的滑痕
They spell Alice
它们拼读出爱丽丝

I disappear in your name
在你的名字里我隐身不见
But you must wait for me
然而你必须等待我
Somewhere across the sea
在大海尽头某处
There's a wreck of a ship
那沉船的残骸

Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
你头发像是海潮里的牧草
And the raindrops on my window
像是我窗台上的雨滴
And the ice in my drink
和我酒杯里的冰
Baby all I can think of is Alice
宝贝我只想着，爱丽丝

Arithmetic arithmetock
计算演算嘀嘀嗒
Turn the hands back on the clock
再次握住那只钟
How does the ocean rock the boat?
大海是怎样摇摆着那只船？
How did the razor find my throat?
剃刀是如何摸索到我喉头？
The only strings that hold me here
唯一保障着我的那些绳索
Are tangled up around the pier
在码头上纠结不清

And so a secret kiss
所以一个秘密的吻
Brings madness with the bliss
送来被赐福的癫狂
And I will think of this
而我会记起这些
When I'm dead in my grave
当我在我的墓穴里死去
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
让我漂浮起来在那儿迷失方向
And I must be insane
我一定是疯了
To go skating on your name
来到结冰的池塘在你名字上滑翔
And by tracing it twice
而追寻了它两次之后
I fell through the ice
我沉入
Of Alice
爱丽斯的冰中

There's only Alice
只是爱丽丝
