New Auburn (feat. Anaïs Mitchell)

Every time I drive up on fifty-three
每當我開到60邁
I'm seeing sideways up ahead of me
便能看到那人行道從我面前急急退去
There's little lakes, there's little fountains
身邊是小湖還有噴泉
There's little molehills made out of mountains
不計其數的鼴鼠洞
There's little prayers that I perceive, mmm
和那些我察覺到的禱告

Every time I drive up on fifty-four
每當我開到80邁
It goes past Mick's and Dick's general store
總會駛過Mick和Dick造的大石頭
There goes the signal and it's dropped for miles
和那延伸數百里的指示牌
There goes the static at the top of the dial
此刻儀錶盤已然停滯

Every wild plan screamed it
我懼怕一切瘋狂的計劃
By only a hundred years, a way-man
僅僅因為那百年不滅的路人
Who am I to witness, who am I to see
我能看到誰又能見證誰
Who am I to notice which way a tree
又怎能注意到某條路上的樹呢
Falling alone full sign and leave
我長嘆一聲離開了這裡

Half a mile later, just past the sign
又駛過50里路過那個指示牌
There's a Winnebago, an Econoline
是一輛溫內巴戈和伊克諾萊恩
I smell the lake on up aways
走到湖邊深吸一口氣
I know the exit and the parking place
我知道哪裡是出口哪裡可以停車

We used to swim out in the sun
曾經我們頂著太陽游泳
We were swimming out there under heaven
在水中穿梭來去如徜徉於天堂下
We were too young to have been unforgiven
我們還年輕這些事尚不曾忘記

Who are you to listen, who are you to care?
你願意在意誰又願意為誰聆聽
Just someone who knows me from anywhere
只是某個因各種方式了解我的人嗎
Where do we come from out of thin air?
擺脫了虛無我們該何去何從
I hear you whisper in the back of my hair
我能聽到你在我身後的低聲耳語
