Black and White
Jackson Browne
Black and White 歌詞
Long before you ever saw your chances
遠在你看見轉機之前
You were going to burn this city down
你就打算把這城市焚毀
Tired of the fashions and the dances
厭倦了紛繁的時裝與舞蹈
Tired of the people standing around
厭倦了站立在周遭的人群
Ticking like a bomb in the night
就像夜裡一顆即將引爆的炸彈
And you knew you were right
你清楚自己即正義
Black and white
黑白分明
Blame it on the time it took to leave here
責怪沒有時間離開這裡
Blame it on the ones who slowed you down
責怪那些阻礙你的人
Blame it on the kind of friends you knew here
責怪你那些所謂的朋友
Blame it on the sickness going ' round
責怪周圍噁心的一切
Going round and round in the night
在夜裡一次次地徘徊
With your heart out of sight
你的內心蒙在黑暗裡
With your world burning bright
因為你的世界正映出火光
Like a moth 'round a light
就像撲火的飛蛾
Black and white
黑白分明
The pictures of a life in flames
遺留在烈火中的庸常生活
Black and white
黑白分明
The picture of a life remains
而生活還將繼續
And the search you half remember
記憶模糊的追尋
Setting out on at the start
在最開始伴你而行
Is burning like an ember in your heart
是你心裡還未熄滅的灰燼
Time running out time running out
時間所剩無幾
For the fool still asking what his life is about
而傻瓜還在質詢生命的真諦
Time running out time running out
時間所剩無幾
Time running out time running out
時間所剩無幾
Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt
在猶疑的陰影之外
Time running out time running out
時間所剩無幾
Tell them that you've gone to find a person
告訴他們你要去尋找一個人
Someone you lost track of long ago
一個和你失散多年的人
Tell them that it's someone you need worse than
告訴他們
Anybody else you'll ever know
你需要他勝過任何人
Ticking like a bombin the night
就像夜裡一顆即將引爆的炸彈
You were strong, you were light
你強壯而輕盈
You were fast, you were bright
你敏捷而聰穎
Then you were gone in the light
你湮沒在光明里
Black and white
非黑即白
The pictures of a life in flames
遺留在烈火中的庸常生活
Black and white
非黑即白
The picture of a life remains
而生活還將繼續
And the high ideals and the promise
那些你用來裝飾未來的
You once dressed the future in
遠大的理想和諾言
Are dancing in the embers with the wind
正在灰燼中隨風舞蹈
Time running out time running out
時間所剩無幾
For the fool still asking what his life is about
因為傻瓜還在質詢生命的真諦
Time running out time running out
時間所剩無幾
Time running out time running out
時間所剩無幾
Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt
在猶疑的陰影之外
Time running out time running out
時間所剩無幾
and you know it's true
你分明感受得到
