American Tune

American Tune 美利坚之歌



by Paul Simon



Many's, the time I'v been mistaken

犯过太多的错误



And many times confused

有过太多的困惑



Yes, and often felt forsaken

曾经孤独凄绝



And certainly misused

也一如既往 被人误解



But I'm all right, I'm all right

但一切还好，一切都还好



I'm just weary to my bones

只是意阑珊



Still, you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant

繁华似锦不可得



So far away from home, so far away from home

回家路迢迢





And I don't know a soul who's not been battered

有哪个灵魂不是被千锤百炼



I don't have a friend who feels at ease

哪个人不是常心感戚戚



I don't know a dream that's not been shattered

又有哪个梦想不曾被粉碎



or driven to its knees

或屈服过



But it's all right, it's all right

但是没关系，真的没有关系



We've lived so well so long

生活仍是源远流长



Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on

回溯来时路



I wonder what's going on

到底发生了什么



I can't help wonder what's going on

我不禁犹疑 究竟发生了什么





And I dreamed I was dying

我曾幻想自己正在死去



And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

灵魂如缕烟般升起



And looking back down at me

低头俯望



Smiled reassunngly

安详微笑



And I dreamed I was flying

于是我幻想自己正在翱翔



And high up above my eyes could clearly see

尽高处，目力所及



The Statue of Liberty

自由女神像



Sailing away to sea

正向大海航行



And I dreamed I was flying

而我正在翱翔







We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

我们都来自那艘叫五月花号的油轮



We come on the ship that sailed the moon

我们都来自那艘驶向月球的航船



We come in the age's most uncertain hour

我们都来自最未知的时刻



and sing an American tune

共唱一首 美利坚之歌



But it's all right, it's all right

不过没什么，真的一点都没什么



You can't be forever blessed

你不可能永远得到上帝的眷恋



Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day

明天又是普通平凡工作的一天



And I'm trying to get some rest

而我只想休息一会儿



That's all I'm trying to get some rest

我真的只是想 能休息那么一会儿
