That Song About The Midway / Joni Mitchell

I met you on a midway at a fair last year And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear You were playin' on the horses, you were playin' on the guitar strings You were playin' like a devil wearin' wings 去年 我在前往市集的途中遇見了妳 妳耀眼地 像一個黑人耳上的紅寶石 妳在馬背上戲耍 在吉他的弦上踢躂 像個魔鬼 微笑地 戴上翅膀 Wearin' wings, you looked so grand wearin' wings Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing? Can you fly? I heard you can, can you fly? Like an eagle doin' your huntin' from the sky 戴上翅膀 妳撐開翅膀 看起來十分輝煌 妳將它們黏在肩上 只是為了要歌唱嗎？ 妳會飛嗎？聽說妳能 妳能振翅高飛嗎？ 像隻老鷹 從天空 倏然而下 I followed with the sideshows to another town And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice And I thought I saw you cheatin' once or twice 我跟著雜耍團 遊蕩到另外一個城鎮 而在露營地的拖車裏 我又發現了妳 妳正為了某個情郎押注 妳在搖骰子 我認為 我看到妳有耍詐 一或二次 Once or twice, I heard your bid once or twice Were you wond'rin' was the gamble worth the price? Pack it in, I heard you did, pack it in Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win? 一或二次 我聽到妳在押注 一或二次 妳是否疑惑 這場賭博 值得它的價嗎？ 把它裝進去 我聽說妳做到了 把它裝進去 放棄一手妳早知會贏的賭注 是否難於上青天呢？ So lately you've been hidin', it was somewhere in the news And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues And a voice calls out the numbers and it sometimes mentions mine And I feel like I've been workin' overtime 所以最近 妳一直在躲藏 那是新聞報導的某個地方 而我仍帶著我的票根 和我的藍調 參加這場和那場的賽事 一個聲音 叫出號碼 有的時後 也會叫到我的 我感覺到 我一直不停地工作 Over time, I've lost my fire, over time Always playin' one more hand for one more dime Slowin' down, I'm gettin' tired, slowin' down And I envy you, the valley that you've found 隨著時光流逝 我已失去了我的火焰 時光荏苒 總是想再多玩一把 只為了多得到一毛錢 逐漸慢了下來 我累了 逐漸慢了下來 我羨慕妳 妳發現的山谷 'Cause I'm midway, down the midway Slowin' down, down, down, down 因我在途中 在前往市集的途中 逐漸慢了下來 慢了下來 慢了下來 慢了下來
