A Long Goodbye – 英语/中文 双语歌词

歌词与翻译

[中文]

你听过那个关于女孩的故事吗

那个从未见过仙人掌树的女孩？

在她的想象中，她环游了全世界

但直到十七岁才第一次看到飞机

她在扶手上敲打手指，只是朝爱达荷州前进

抱有美好希望，却不懂自己不知道的东西

只需要一个靠窗的座位

甚至还能看到水下的世界

我只需要迷失方向，才能被你找到

被你找到

他在元旦那天从窗户跳了出去

身体在市中心的街道上碎裂

是的，我们只差一个破碎的心

就能实现那份被迫守住的承诺

在服用安眠药和喝威士忌的状态下，以90公里的速度行驶在限速45的路上

转动的轮子发出滴答声

有时它会停在黑色格子上

有些孩子夜里能回到家

有些孩子却永远回不去

我几乎得失去理智才被你找到

被你找到

你奶奶墙上挂着你的照片

你的头发直而轻盈

那只是一个尴尬的瞬间，被定格在时间里

但我在你眼里看到以利亚

那些日子，我愿付出一切，只为仍能拥抱你

要是我们因《Jagged Little Pill》而分手会怎样？

我们不诅咒随年龄而增长的破碎岁月

要经历这些才能坚持到底

是啊，我大概需要失去那些年，才能被你找到

我知道我得迷失方向，才会被你找到

瞬间，一切都可能改变

任何事都有可能改变

放手吧

轻松面对

任它下雪

让风整夜吹

归根结底，这只是生活

转瞬即逝

这是一场漫长的告别

这是一场漫长的告别

这是一段漫长的

告别

...

[英语]

Did you hear the one about the girl

Who'd never seen a cactus tree?

In her mind, she traveled around the world

But never saw a plane 'til 17

While knuckling the armrest only bound for Idaho

Hoping for the best, but you don't know what you don't know

That it only takes a window seat

To see the world was underwater too

And I only had to lose my way to be found by you

To be found by you

He went out the window on a New Year's Day

And shattered his body on a downtown street

Yeah, we're all just a broken heart away

From making a promise that we're forced to keep

Doing 90 in a 45 on Ambien and Jack

The spinning wheel makes a ticking sound

And sometimes it lands on black

Some kids make it home at night

And some kids never do

I almost had to lose my mind to be found by you

To be found by you

There's a picture of you on your grandma's wall

You and your hair are straight and light

It's just an awkward moment that's locked in time

But I can see Elijah in your eyes

What I wouldn't give to hold you in those days and still

What if we had broke up over Jagged Little Pill?

We don't curse the broken miles of age

That it takes to see this through

Yeah, I probably had to lose those years to be found by you

I know I had to lose my way to be found by you

In a moment, everything could change

Anything can change

Let it go

Keep it light

Let it snow

Let the wind blow all night

It's only life after all

It's a blink of an eye

It's a long goodbye

It's a long goodbye

It's a long

Goodbye
