The Saltwater Room (Original Version)

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
昨晚我睁开眼睛，在微光下看见你。
Walking down by the bay, on the shore,
在海湾散步，站在岸上，
staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore
凝望着那些一去不复返的飞机。
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
我感觉夜渐深，你看起来很冷。
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
犹如一个内向者，我提起衬衫，
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
披在肩上，猛烈地不停颤抖，这时，
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
你恰好看到环绕在我身边的隧道，
Running into the dark underground
通往无尽黑暗的地道之中。
All the subways around create a great sound
地道里的声音响彻云霄，
To my motion fatigue: farewell
它对疲倦说到：永别。
With your ear to a seashell
把耳朵紧贴贝壳，
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
你可以听到海底暗涌流动，
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
仿佛置身海洋之中。
Time together is just never quite enough
在一起的时间总是如此少，
When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
当你和我都开始独处时，我从未有过家的感觉。
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
怎样做才能打破这爱的暗示？
We need time, only time
我们需要时间，仅仅是时间而已。
When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?
我们分别时你在想什么？
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
如果这就是所谓的家，那为何让人觉得那么孤独？
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
所以，告诉我，亲爱的，您希望我们相爱吗？
All the time, all the time
我希望你能一直在我身边，一直在我身边。
Can you believe that the crew has gone
你能相信，船员已离去，
and wouldn't let me sign on?
不让我上船吗？
All my islands have sunk in the deep,
我整个岛屿早已沉入深处，
so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
所以我根本无法放松乃至难以入睡。
I feel as if I were home some nights
好几个晚上我都觉得仿佛自己就在家里，
when we count all the ship lights
当我们数着所有的船灯时，
I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow
我想我永远不知道为什么麻雀爱雪。
We'll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
我们关上所有的灯，把这舞厅布置得一片光彩。
~~So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?~~
~~所以，告诉我，亲爱的，你希望我们相爱吗？~~
