Streets of London(Solo)

Ralph McTell - Streets of London 倫敦的街道



Have you seen the old man in the closed-down market 你可曾看過那個在已收攤的市場裡的老人

Kicking up the paper with his worn out shoes? 用他磨破的鞋子踢著報紙

In his eyes you see no pride 在他的眼裡你看不到尊嚴

Hand held loosely at his side 手無力的垂在兩旁

Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news 昨日的報紙述說著昨日的新聞



So how can you tell me you're lonely 所以你怎能還告訴我說你很孤獨

And say for you that the sun don't shine? 說陽光不再為你照耀？

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London 讓我牽著你的手帶你穿越過倫敦的街道

I'll show you something to make you change your mind 我要讓你看一些事情改變你的想法



Have you seen the old girl Who walks the streets of London 你可见过那年华不再的女子 姗姗走过伦敦的街头

Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags 披着她灰脏的头发和碎破的衣服

She's no time for talking She just keeps right on walking 她没有空儿停下来聊点什么 就只是一劲儿向前走着

Carrying her home in two carrier bags 带着两只旅行包，那是她的全部家当



So how can you tell me you're lonely 所以，你怎能還告訴我說你很孤獨

And say for you that the sun don't shine? 說陽光不再為你照耀？

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London 讓我牽著你的手帶你穿越過倫敦的街道

I'll show you something to make you change your mind 我要讓你看一些事情改變你的想法



In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven 十一點十五分在一家通宵營業的咖啡館

Same old man is sitting there on his own 同一個老人孤獨的坐著

Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup 他越過杯緣注視著這個世界

Each tea lasts an hour 每杯茶都喝上一個鐘頭

Then he wanders home alone 然後，獨自亂晃走回家去



So how can you tell me you're lonely 所以你怎能還告訴我說你很孤獨

don't say for you that the sun don't shine 不要說陽光不再為你照耀

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London 讓我牽著你的手帶你穿越過倫敦的街道

I'll show you something to make you change your mind 我要讓你看一些事情改變你的想法



And have you seen the old man outside the Seaman's Mission 你可曾看過在海軍士兵之家外面的那個老人

Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears 回憶隨著他披在身上的勳章綵帶逐漸褪色

In our winter city, the rain cries a little pity 在我們的冬日城市裡雨水哭喊著一絲憐憫

For one more forgotten hero 為又一個被遺忘的英雄

And a world that doesn't care 還有一個漠不關心的世界 



So how can you tell me you're lonely 所以你怎能還告訴我說你很孤獨

And say for you that the sun don't shine? 說陽光不再為你照耀？

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London 讓我牽著你的手帶你穿越過倫敦的街道

I'll show you something to make you change your mind 我要讓你看一些事情，改變你的想法
