Bookend theme
Time it was
and what a time it was
it was,
A time of innocence
a time of confidences.
Long ago
it must be,
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories,
they're all that's left you
时光
飞出转动的唱片
翻转,
转出儿时的纯情
转出年幼的豪言
很久以前,
记忆已经模糊难现
就象泛黄的照片
只有她的笑靥
依然留在心间
And I love you so
And I love you so
People ask me how
How I've lived til' now..
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
Life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes I know...
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let
The evening get me down..
Now that you're around with me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief ..
Once the page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief
And yes I know
How loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free..
but I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around with me...
And I love you so...
People ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't kow..
我如此爱你
人们问我为何
何以我等到现在
我无言以答
我希望他们明白
人生曾是多么孤单
然而生活重新向我召唤
在我们牵手的那天
我开始明白
人生能多么孤单
忧愁追随着我
黑夜让我无法解脱
但我不会
对夜的来临屈服
因为现在你在我的身边
你也如此爱我
你的所思所想只是为了我
你把我孤独的灵魂解脱
让我感受到欢欣
人生的课本如此短暂
一旦所有的页被读完
只有爱会流传
这是我的信念
我开始明白
人生能多么惨淡
忧愁追随着我
黑夜让我无法解脱
但我不会
对夜的来临屈服
因为现在你在我的身边
我是如此爱你
人们问我为何
何以我等到现在
我无言以答
很久以前,
记忆已经模糊难现
就象泛黄的照片
只有她的笑靥
依然留在心间
Vincent
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They did not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry starry night
You took your life as lover's often do
But I could've told you Vincent
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hang in empry halls
Frameless heads on nameless wall
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

繁星之夜空，
入彼画板，
片片苍青。
彼之双目，
熟视窗外，
寄盼夏临。
惟此双目，
谙知我心，
郁郁孤楚。
丘之阴翳，
轻描其树，
淡绘水仙。
悠拂微风，
微诉冬寒。
如雪画卷，
色调凄然。
茫然知悟，
彼之轻诉。
恍然彼心，
纷乱不宁。
怆然彼情，
痛楚难冥。
世人无知，
不解其意，
时光荏苒，
或得变迁。
繁星之夜空，
明华艳艳，
如火如焰。
紫雾翻舞，
层云流转。
入彼双目，
忧从中言。
色彩轻抚。
静静晨色，
褐褐稷谷。
纵横之纹，
风霜其面。
得彼画笔，
施之慰藉。
茫然知悟，
彼之轻诉。
恍然彼心，
纷乱不宁。
怆然彼情，
痛楚难冥。
世人无知，
不解其意，
时光荏苒，
或得变迁。
虽不得解，
诚然如故。
至其无止，
万念俱灰。
悔不得相告，
凄冷尘世，
实无乐土。
繁星之夜空，
孑然肖像，
空寂之厅。
无名之墙，
无框头像。
双目难舍，
尘世沧桑。
僻径之路人，
褴褛其服，
污垢其身。
玫瑰荆刺，
如血如银。
飘随初雪，
破败凋零。
豁然解悟，
彼之轻诉。
恍然彼心，
纷乱不宁。
怆然彼情，
痛楚难冥。
世人无知，
不解其意。
时光荏苒，
亦难言变。
（今）
繁星点点的夜空
让灰和蓝洒落你的调色板中
憧憬着夏的来临
用你能洞悉我灵魂深处之黑暗的眼睛
小山上的阴翳
勾勒着树和水仙的身影
捕捉着冬日凛凛的微风
那片亚麻布上多雪的土地中色彩朦胧
繁星点点的夜空
绚烂的花卉如焰火般耀眼
紫罗兰般的薄幕渲染着旋转的云团
这一切都在凡高忧郁的眼中闪现
色彩变幻着色调
从种满琥珀色谷物的早上的田野
到饱经沧桑的脸上劳苦的皱纹
都在你的笔下感受到轻松
我终于明白
你想诉说的意境
你如何挣扎着维护自己的心智
你如何竭力释放心中的痛
他们不会聆听,也不曾理解
或许现在会有人倾听
他们不曾喜爱你
但你的爱仍旧真诚
当希望不再闪现在那
繁星点点的夜空
你象许多多情的人结束了自己的生命
但我真希望能有机会告诉你
这个世界不曾也不会
象你的画那样的美丽
繁星点点的夜空
肖像悬挂在空寂的大厅
无框的头像贴在无名的墙上
那双眼注视这世界,永远难忘
就像偶遇的陌生人
褴褛的人穿着褴褛的衣衫
血红的玫瑰,银色的荆棘
在初雪中破败,粉碎
现在我终于领悟
你想诉说的意境
你如何挣扎着维护自己的心智
你如何竭力释放心中的痛
他们不曾聆听,现在依旧不会
或许永远不想倾听
Brother in Arms
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm
Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
尘雾覆盖的远山
或许是我新的居处
故乡却是身后的平川
我将永远眷恋
我立下誓言
一定会回返
战火将不再点燃
在兄弟之间
废墟和瓦砾
经过战火的洗礼
硝烟依然咆哮
带来更多的伤恸和哭泣
也深深的刺痛我
带给我惶惑和恐惧
你没有弃我而去
我的兄弟
曾经安详的乐土
黯然消逝不现
本来温情的家园
在尘土中长眠
太阳沉入深渊
月光洒在山颠
我在心中默默为你送别
每个人终会有这一天
闪烁的星光
描绘着你掌纹的每一线
愿世人了解战争的愚蠢
战火永不在兄弟间点燃
W.S. Landor －－－ 沃尔特·萨维奇·兰德
I strove with none for none was worth my strife;
Nature I loved,and, next to nature,art;
I warm'd both hands before the fire of life;
It sinks,and I am ready to depart.
（今）
凡俗的抗争
再也我法将我激励
我已领略自然的博大
也已享受艺术的美丽
当生命之火渐息
我会安然离去
（古）
回首往昔，
挣扎无已，
伤痕累累，
徒然无益，
道之我求，
艺之我趋，
心已无悔，
死当无惜，
怀藏欣宜，
吾将安然离去。
Romeo and Juliet
a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
says something like you and me babe how about it?
juliet says hey it's romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
he's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
you shoudn't come around here singing up at people like that
anyway what you gonna do about it?
juliet the dice were loaded from the start
and i bet and you exploded in my heart
and i forget i forget the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong juliet?
come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
and i dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
how can you look at me as i was just another one of your deals?
when you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
you can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
you promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
now you just say oh romeo yeah you know i used to have a scene with him
juliet when we made love you used to cry
you said i love you like the stars above i'll love you till i die
there's a place for us you know the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
i can't do the talk like they talking on the tv
and i can't do a love song like the way its meant to be
i can't do everything but i'd do anything for you
i can't do anything except be in love with you
and all i do is miss you and the way we used to be
all i do is keep the beat and bad company
all i do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
julie i'd do the stars with you any time
juliet when we made love you used to cry
you said i love you like the stars above i'll love you till i die
there's a place for us you know the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
says something like you and me babe how about it?
罗米欧和茱丽叶
热恋中的罗米欧唱着自制的街边小夜曲
听得所有人情绪低落
晃晃悠悠地走出黑暗,站到街灯下
嘟囔着"宝贝,你和我怎么样?"
茱丽叶吓了一跳,"嘿!罗米欧你差点让我吓出心脏病呐",
看着窗下发呆的罗米欧,她轻轻地唱,"哎呀,我BF就要回来啦!"
"你咋能这么冒失呀"
"不过你是想怎样啊?"
罗米欧唱到,"茱丽叶,赌博一开始就无法停止"
"我压上所有的东西因为你让我的心失去控制"
"见鬼,我想不起那部电影的主题曲"
"不过你知道吗,我们或许只是相遇在错误的日子"
"我走过不同的街道,一样的阴暗,一样的破烂,一样的肮脏"
"可每次我的梦都是一样"
"我梦着你的梦,只为你,现在我在你面前"
"你怎么能把我看成和其他人相仿"
"你总是迷恋金银艳丽的颜色"
"你总会被花言巧语的奶油小生迷惑"
"你曾经给我各种各样的许诺"
"现在你却说,哦,罗米欧,是啊,你知道过去和他的时光让我现在失落"
"茱丽叶,和你温存时你常常哭泣"
"你说,我爱你就象夜空的星,我会爱你直到我的生命离去"
"在我们相约的角落,你也会哼唱那首电影歌曲"
"见鬼,或许我们只是相遇在错误的日子里"
"我不会象电视上该死的小白脸那样柔情蜜意"
"也不会掐着嗓子把爱情歌曲唱得惨惨凄凄"
"有很多事我做不到,但我为你做一切努力"
"有很多事我做不到,但我会只爱你"
"我象从前一样的想你"
"孤独的时候我会和人鬼混"
"也会去酒吧喝个烂醉,醉意中仿佛可以亲吻你"
"茱丽叶,什么时候可以拥你在繁星闪烁的夜色里"
"茱丽叶,和你温存时你常常哭泣"
"你说,我爱你就象夜空的星,我会爱你直到我的生命离去"
"在我们相约的角落,你也会哼唱那首电影歌曲"
"或许我们只是相遇在错误的日子里"
热恋中的罗米欧唱着自制的街边小夜曲
听得所有人情绪低落
晃晃悠悠地走出黑暗,站到街灯下
嘟囔着"宝贝,你和我怎么样?"
SUMMER BREEZE
lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1971
See the curtains hangin' in the window, in the evenin' on a Friday night.
A little light a-shinin' through the window, lets me know everything is alright.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
See the paper layin' in the sidewalk, a little music from the house next door.
So I walked on up to the doorstep, through the screen and across the floor.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom. July is dressed up and playing her tune.
And I come home from a hard day's work, and you're waiting there, not a care in the world.
See the smile a-waitin' in the kitchen, food cookin' and the plates for two.
See the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
凝视着垂在窗前的窗帘，又是一个星期五的夜晚。
一束柔和的光从窗帘后透过，让我感觉一切都是那样的恬然。
夏日的微风，带给我安闲自在，象飘飘的茉莉馨香吹入我的心海。
夏日的微风，带给我安闲自在，象飘飘的茉莉馨香吹入我的心海。
今天的报纸静静地躺在门前，一阵音乐从旁边的房屋里传来。
于是我穿过屏风和走廊，漫步走上台阶，去体会
夏日的微风，带给我安闲自在，象飘飘的茉莉馨香吹入我的心海。
夏日的微风，带给我安闲自在，象飘飘的茉莉馨香吹入我的心海。
恬然的夏日，茉莉花已经盛开。七月已经装扮完毕，开始吟唱她的旋律。
带着一身的疲倦回到家中，看到你在静静地守候，其他的一切刹那间无比遥远。
早已在厨房中等候的是你的微笑，还有两个人的晚餐。
还有你紧紧的拥抱，当夜幕在窗外降临。
夏日的微风，带给我安闲自在，象飘飘的茉莉馨香吹入我的心海。
夏日的微风，带给我安闲自在，象飘飘的茉莉馨香吹入我的心海。
The shadow of your smile
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes my love
...and see
All the lovely things
You are to me
Our wistful little star
Was far to high
A tear drop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
你忧伤的笑容
刻在我心中
拌着落日的忧郁
融入我的梦
可否察觉我的爱
在我的眸中
象所有悲伤的主题
荡漾着我的心声
天空中我们共同的星
没入阴翳的云影
落在你唇边的眼泪
倾诉着我的柔情
春的私语
吟着曾经的欢笑
一次又一次唤醒
你那忧伤的笑容
To Where You Are
Who can say for certain, maybe you're still here ...
I feel you all around me, your memory so clear.
Deep in the stillness I can hear you speak.
You're still an inspiration ~
can it be that you are mine forever, love.
And you are watching over me from up above.
Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight to see you smile,
if only for a while, to know you're there ~
a breath away's not far to where you are.
Are you gently sleeping here inside my dream
and isn't faith believing all power can't be seen.
As my heart holds you, just one beat away,
I cherish all you gave me every day.
Because you are mine, forever love,
watching me from up above.
And I believe that angel's grieve
as our love will live on and never leave.
Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight to see you smile,
if only for a while, to know you're there ~
a breath away's not far to where you are.
I know you're there ...
a breath away's not far to where you are.
谁能让我相信
或许你仍在这里
仿佛中你伫立在我身旁
你的容颜依旧清晰
沉沉地静霭中
回荡着你的声音
你永远是我内心的激情
我渴望
你是我
永恒的爱
渴望能感到你在天堂上对我的聆听
多想能拥有双翅
能飞越遥远的星空
我想在今夜
看到你的笑容
即使只是片刻
让我感受你在我的身侧
你的呼吸在咫尺的距离
你就在那里
是否你在安详地熟睡
睡在我的梦中
是否执著的坚信
会感召所有的魔力于无形
我用我的真心将你拥抱
我和你只隔着我的心跳
我珍爱着你赋予我的一切
在我生命的每一秒
因为你是我
永恒的爱
我能感到你在天堂上对我的聆听
我相信
天使真实地存在
我相信爱会永远永远不离开
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do
I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
You love me
When you tell me that you love me
我要呼唤苍穹
和闪烁的群星
我要穿越时空
触摸天荒到来时的云影
我要跨越整个世界
只是为了追寻你的踪影
所有的不可能
也不能阻挡我对你的深情
我想你依偎在我的身侧
当阴雨落在你的心中
我想亲吻你的脸颊
让我分享你的心痛
我想时刻凝望着你
凝望你美丽且忧郁的瞳
在这虚无的尘世
你永远是我真实的人生
我要你知道
每当我触摸你的肌肤
我的激情超越传说中的英雄
我要护卫你
在时空的每个角落
带给你
所有的一切
来妆饰你美丽的心灵
每当你对我说你爱我
我的心在颤抖，就象暗夜中的烛灯
我要展示给你
我所有的心声
展示你我的孤寂
和孤独留给我的创痛
是你进入我的生活
擦去我的泪
是你对我的深情
让一切都变得恬然，轻松
如果这个世界没有你
我会永远在渴望中哀恸
是你将我从痛苦中解脱给予我刚毅和坚定
