Simple Twist of Fate

They sat together in the park
他們一塊坐在公園裡
As the evening sky grew dark
夜幕四垂愈見漆黑
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
她的一瞥令他感到寒芒一閃刺痛骨髓
It was then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
就在那時他感到又回歸孤身一人多麼希望就此一走了之
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.
當心那命運無常的捉弄吧
They walked alone by the old canal
他們並肩行走在古老運河邊
A little confused I remember well
當時有一點迷惘情形歷歷在目
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright
然後走進了一家詭異的旅館門前的霓虹燈明亮而刺眼
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
他感到夜晚洶湧的熱浪拍打著他好似一列貨車
Moving with a simple twist of fate.
滿載著命運無常的捉弄疾馳而來
A saxophone someplace far off played
一聲薩克斯風從遙遠的地方傳來
As she was walking on by the arcade
此時她正迤邐穿過拱廊
As the light bust through a-beat-up shade where he was waking up
當光線透過殘損的簾幕一閃一閃他正好驚醒
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
而她將一枚硬幣丟進了門口那個盲人的碗裡
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.
企圖甩掉命運無常的捉弄
He woke up the room was bare
他在房間裡醒來時渾身赤裸
He didn't see her anywhere
尋遍了各個角落也沒看到她
He told himself he didn't care pushed the window open wide
他口口聲聲說他並不在乎然後將窗戶驀地推開
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
內心仍然一片空虛但卻毫無頭緒
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.
這就是一場命運無常的捉弄啊
He hears the ticking of the clocks
這時耳邊響起鐘擺的滴答聲
And walks along with a parrot that talks
他帶著一隻饒舌鸚鵡上了路
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in
在水手簇擁的水濱碼頭他終於找到了她
Maybe she'll pick him out again how long must he wait
可能她會在人群中再次認出他來但他要等多久
One more time for a simple twist of fate.
又會碰上一次命運無常的捉弄呢
People tell me it's a sin
人們對我說的所謂罪孽就是
To know and feel too much within
情感細膩內心過於豐富啊
I still believe she was my twin but I lost the ring
我仍然相信她就是我的另一半但我弄丟了訂婚戒指
She was born in spring but I was born too late
她出生在春天而我出生得太晚
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
只能怪那命運無常的捉弄啊
