The 2 of Us

the 2 of us
lying in my bed, i think of you
静静躺在床上 脑海里却浮现出你的身影
that song goes through my head,
有一首歌的旋律在我脑中盘旋
the one we both knew
就是那首你我都知道的歌
in each line lies another line
一句又一句
full of sacred sound
神圣悠远的声音传来
but you're outside where the companies dream
而你却仍在外奔波劳碌
and the money goes round
只为追求纸醉金迷的生活
lying in my bed.
静静躺在床上

回想着我犯过的错
watching my mistakes,
我听着那个乐队
i listen to the band they said that
他们在唱：我们本可以就这样一直下去
it could be the 2 of us
雪花飘落 在空荡荡的书页上写上一字一句
the snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page
而你却仍在外奔波 妄想在核时代追求永恒之爱

自动取款机前映出的两道剪影让爱侣也欢呼雀跃
but you're outside making permanent love to the nuclear age
那只是内心孤独的中产阶级舞出的一曲探戈
two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance
静静躺在床上
it's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class
回想着我犯过的错
lying in my bed
我听着那个乐队唱着

静静躺在床上
watching my mistakes
沉默不语 于是我继续听着那个男人唱着
i listen to the band
他唱道：我们本可以就这样一直下去
lying in my bed
我听见你的声音穿过听筒 从城市的那一头给我打来电话
with nothing much to say so i listen to the man
我艰难地匍匐着 穿过这物欲横流的城市到达你所在的地方
he said that it could be the 2 of us
静静躺在床上 回想着我犯过的错
i heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound
我听着那个乐队唱着

我的脑中鼓点骤起 让我乱了心神
and so i crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round
钢琴声和谐了我脑中的杂音 就在这囚室般的房子里
lying in my bed watching my mistakes
当疾病再度缠身 你是否能在这场命运的暴雨中听见我的呼喊声？

就在我听着这个乐队的歌的时候？
i listen to the band
就在我轻声唱出这首寂静之音时
and the drums beat in my head
我模仿着每个孤独的词句的唱法
pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house
请耐心听完那个男人唱完这曲 他唱道：我们本可以就这样一直下去
and as the illness comes again can you hear me through the rain
孤单 但却不孤独 你和我
as i listen to the band?
孤单却充实
as i sing the silent song
mime each lonely word
please listen to the man he said that it could be the 2 of us
alone but not lonely, you and me

alone but loaded.........
