(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

• By: Otis Redding

Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

清晨，我坐在阳光下

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come

傍晚，我依然会坐在这里

Watching the ships roll in

看着船只驶入港湾

And I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

又目送它们再次远航，耶

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

我坐在海湾的码头上

Watching the tide roll away

看着潮水慢慢退去

Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

哦，我就这样坐在海湾的码头上

Wastin' time

虚度光阴

I left my home in Georgia

我离开了乔治亚的家乡

Headed for the 'Frisco bay

前往旧金山海湾

'Cause I've had nothing to live for

因为我感觉生活失去了意义

And look like nothing's gonna come my way

似乎也没有什么好事会降临到我身上

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

所以我就这样坐在海湾的码头上

Watching the tide roll away

看着潮水慢慢退去

Ooh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

哦，我就这样坐在海湾的码头上

Wastin' time

虚度光阴

Look like nothing's gonna change

看起来一切都不会改变

Everything still remains the same

所有事情依然如旧

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

我无法听从十个人的指挥

So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

所以我想我只能保持原样，是的

Sittin' here resting my bones

坐在这里，让骨头好好休息

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

这孤独感挥之不去，始终伴随着我

It's two thousand miles I roamed

我漂泊了两千英里

Just to make this dock my home

只为了把这码头当成我的家

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay

现在，我就这样坐在海湾的码头上

Watching the tide roll away

看着潮水慢慢退去

Ooh-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay

哦喂，我就这样坐在海湾的码头上

Wastin' time

虚度光阴
