Streets of London

词：Ralph McTell

曲：Ralph McTell

Have you seen the old man

你可曾见过那么老的一个人

In the closed down market

在市场打烊后

Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes

拖着他破烂了的鞋子踢着被丢弃的报纸

In his eyes you see no pride

在他的眼睛里你看不到自豪的神采

Hands held loosely at his side

双手散漫的垂在身旁

Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news

过期的报纸上，写着过期的故事

So how can you tell me you're lonely

你怎么能告诉我你是孤独的呢

And say for you that the sun don't shine

说太阳都不肯为你散发光亮

Let me take you by the hand

让我牵着你的手

And lead you through the streets of London

带着你走过伦敦的街头吧

I'll show you something

让你看看那儿发生的事情

To make you change your mind

它们会把你来改变

Have you seen the old girl

你可见过那年华不再的女子

Who walks the streets of London

姗姗走过伦敦的街头

Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags

披着她灰脏的头发和碎破的衣服

She's no time for talking

她没有空儿停下来聊点什么

She just keeps right on walking

就只是一劲儿向前走着

Carrying her home in two carrier bags

带着两只旅行包，那是她的全部家当

So how can you tell me you're lonely

所以你怎么能告诉我你是孤独的呢

And say for you that the sun don't shine

说连太阳都不肯把你照耀

Let me take you by the hand

让我牵着你的手

And lead you through the streets of London

带着你走过伦敦的街头吧

I'll show you something

让你看看那儿发生的事情

To make you change your mind

它们会把你来改变

In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven

十一点一刻，古旧的咖啡夜店里

The same old man sitting there on his own

还是那同一个老人独自坐在那儿

Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup

越过他茶杯的边缘看着这个世界

Each tea lasts an hour

 and he wanders home alone

每一杯他都会喝一个小时

然后拖着孤独的脚步回家去

So how can you tell me you're lonely

你怎么能告诉我你是孤独的呢

And say for you that the sun don't shine

说太阳都不肯为你散发光亮

Let me take you by the hand

让我牵着你的手

And lead you through the streets of London

带着你走过伦敦的街头吧

I'll show you something

让你看看那儿发生的事情

To make you change your mind

它们会把你来改变
