Be Calm

當我漫步在我一直魂牽夢繞的城市中
As I walk through the streets of my new city
我私覺脊背已痊癒許多
My back feeling much better, I suppose
我已改造了我幻想的奇妙能力
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
好壞仍不得而知
For better or for worse, I've yet to know
但我一向堅信你會是我的知音
But I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
我猜那就是為什麼事情花了那麼久才好轉
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
突然我陷入迷離
Suddenly I'm lost
在這大街上在這街區裡
On my streetOn my block
噢為何為何
Oh why, Oh why
為何你不為我而等待
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
莫非你看不到這次我已失去本心
Can 't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
我的雙眼看來是這樣的
I think it's for real, I can see
樹葉褪入深秋的赭紅
The tops of trees are turning red
酒窖旁的乞丐沖我咧嘴笑
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
我想他們一定各有所求
I think they want something
我閉上眼告訴自己深呼吸
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
隨之平靜下來
And be calm.
平靜下來
Be calm.
我知道你此刻正分崩離析
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
我知道有時候也會萬念俱灰
I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
鎮靜下來
Be calm .
我害怕每個人都想從我這撈到好處
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
“你這兩天和我說話之前會突然停下來”
'These days before you speak to me you pause.'
“我總是看到你盯著窗外看”
'I always see you looking out your window.'
“畢竟你失去了你的樂隊，也離開了你的媽媽”
'After all, you lost your band, you left your mom.'
如今我跨過的每一條裂縫，路過的每一分錢
Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,
都喃喃說道我可以大步離開或是撿起繼續生活
Says I should either leave or pick it up
但隨我賺的每個硬幣而來的是
But with every single buck I've made
與我密不可分的厄運
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
那些我經受考驗的時刻
The moment I was baptized
以及我發現我終有一天會離去的時刻
Or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
但願我能找到生命中的那些人或者自己的位置
If only I could find my people or my place in life
並且當他們頌唱著走來
A when they come a'carolin'
那響亮輝煌的弗萊明琴聲
So loud, so bright, the theremin
將讓我們所有人一齊開口唱
Will lead us to a chorus
我們歡喜的唱出這樣一首歌
Where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
冷靜下來
Oh be calm.
冷靜下來
Be calm.
我知道你感覺正在分崩離析
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
我知道有時候也會萬念俱灰
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
先冷靜下來。
Be calm.
聽我一句我已一千次處在這樣的境況裡
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
你痛恨你心臟的跳動因為它讓你感覺到生機
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
沒有一件事情讓你順心
And everything's wrong
有時候生活就是如此困難
It just gets so hard sometimes
暫且鎮靜下來
Be calm.
我對那個夜晚記憶逐漸消退
I don't remember much that night,
只記得我漫步中無限思念著你
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
想著現在一定不是最壞的局面
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
那時街角一陣音樂飄蕩過來
When from that street corner came a song
我也幾近忘記了那個男人
And I can't remember the man,
那個乞丐或他的靈魂之律
The panhandler or his melody.
我們交換的話語遠超所有我為你帶來的改變
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
所以平靜下來
Oh be calm.
平靜下來
Be calm.
我知道你正感覺四分五裂
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
我也知道那些時候希望破滅
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
只需鎮靜下來
Be calm.
相信我吧我已千萬次走過這條路
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
你痛恨讓你感到生機的脈搏
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
世上所有事情都失去意義
And everything's wrong
但生活有時就是這樣
It just gets so hard sometimes
鎮靜下來。
Be calm...
