Carole King - Tapestry 歌词翻译

我的一生是幅织锦
有着富丽堂皇的色调
也像是隽永的愿景
变化不停
奇妙律动的魔幻
带着点点的蓝色与金烁
这幅织锦只能感受观赏
却无法被攥在手中

曾有一刻天上布满了
闪着银光的丝丝忧愁
迎面走来一位海盗
一位匆匆而过的浪人
他凌乱破洞的衣衫
裹着粗糙如革的皮肤
他套了件五颜六色的大衣
两边黄绿相间

他小心试探地走着路
好似他并不知晓
来这里本该做些什么
或者他究竟归属何方
他把手伸向
从树上垂下的金黄物什
终却落得两手空空

不久 在我的织锦中
沿着这条车辙遍布的路
他坐上河滩的石头
随即变作一只青蛙
看起来他好像陷入了
某人恶毒的诅咒之中
看他受苦我潸然泪下
尽管我与他并不熟识

正当我悲伤地看着这一切时
突然闪现出
一个灰色 鬼魅般的身影
隐在蓬松的胡子之下
在至黑至暗的时刻
我见他身着一袭黑衣
而如今我的织锦正缓缓展开
他是来带我回去的
他来接我回去了

My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view
A wondrous, woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold

Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide
And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side

He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree
And his hand came down empty

Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell
And I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well

As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared
A figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black
Now my tapestry's unraveling - he's come to take me back
He's come to take me back
