有朋自远方来,又赴远方。
那是披着霓虹幻影的时代,乐声喧嚣,歌舞升平。临街酒吧的昏黄灯光瞪大兴奋而疲倦的双眼,照亮纽约城无数不眠之夜。酒精和香水味中,不时有亮色跑车呼啸而过,漂浮着几顶女士小帽。细长烟管里飘出缕缕轻丝,犹如含笑的隐秘呢喃。
在那样的几年,我却看见你加冕于天堂的灵魂,熠熠生辉,古老不灭。

Old Money.
旧钞
by Lana Del Rey
Blue hydrangea
绣球花盛,淡蓝旷野
Cold cash, Divine
冰冷旧钞,天意犹存
Cashmere, cologne
你一身丝滑羊绒,染着古龙水香
and white sunshine
沐浴在白日骄阳下
Red racing cars, sunset in vine
日垂树影,鲜红跑车呼啸而过
The kids were young and pretty
年轻一代风华正茂
Where have you been
你可曾饱经世故
Where did you go
后来为何一去不返
Those summer nights seem long ago
彼时仲夏午夜,回首已多年
so is the girl you used to call
偶尔想起,她的面容亦若隐若现
the Queen of New York City
你曾称她纽约皇后,白银女郎
But if you send for me
即使如此,假如你寄来只言片语
You know I'll come
我必亲自降临
If you call for me
只要你肯致电
You know I'll run
你知道我将狂奔而至
I'll come to you, I'll come to you
重回你身边,尽释前嫌
I'll come, come, come
即使一路风雨
I'll run to you, I'll run to you
毫不犹豫,飞奔而至
I'll run, run, run
为此不顾一切
The power of youth
年少轻狂的冲动
is on my mind
仍未褪尽
Sunset, small town
落日余晖,冷僻小镇
All out of time
终败于时光
Will you still love me
你是否依然会爱我
when I shine from words
若某日我字字恳切如金
but not from beauty
而精致容颜已凋零
My father's love is always strong
父亲之爱,永久不减
My mother's glamour lives on and on
母亲韶华不再,却风韵犹存
Yet still inside I felt alone
然而我内心依旧空洞无助
for reasons unknown to me
灵魂上的孤独莫名汹涌
(chants...)
Blue hydrangea
深蓝原野,一望无际
Cold cash, Divine
冰冷旧钞,神圣长存
Cashmere, cologne
破旧羊绒,古龙香黯淡
and hot sunshine
又一年夏至
Red racing cars, sunset in vine
看倦了豪车来去,黄昏与树荫
We were young and pretty
当年你我风华正茂
FIN.
ps. Methamphetamines
安非他命
(打雷说过Old Money的最初版本是Methamphetamines, 无奈云村下架了,就下了QQ音乐来听,然后发现没有翻译。。自己动手丰衣足食:)
Methamphetamines, Pink Flamingo
迷醉的安非他命,粉红火鸟宛如烈焰
Blue 50's Queen, blue oyster globe
蓝调王后五十曲的轻柔旋律,贝壳闪着幽蓝微光
For then a dream, why don't we go
彼时有梦,我们却生生错过
to Coney Island
康尼岛的万种风情
When the autumn, that guy I saw
深秋已至,我目睹他即兴而舞
through records spin Blue 50's songs
五十首蓝调在唱机上悠然转动
The horrendous looks so shimmer
一幕幕怪诞场景如今模糊不清
Neon palm sway
霓虹树影稀疏
What's happening, where did we go
事与愿违,我们又该去向何方
The Jersey shore was long ago
泽西海岸碧蓝如洗,纵情时光却早已远去
As we fly hopes and ocean grows
后来野心远大,沧海桑田
so I bid you farewell
我只能不告而别
今天绕了点路去书店看见一书架菲总的书。。
就突然想自己翻Old Money
目前最喜欢的歌词没有之一
