The Empty Chair
Sting
The Empty Chair 歌詞
If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see,
我想我應該閉上眼睛,那樣我才能真正看到
And theres a place at the table that you saved for me.
看見你在那裡,把我救贖
So many thousand miles over land and sea,
相愛遠隔山海
I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer,
我滿懷希望,勇氣和虔誠的心意
And somehow Ill be there.
相約,期待,與你同在一起
水泥地面讓我的頭僵冷無力
Its but a concrete floor where my head will lay,
監獄用這些黏土控制了我的身體
And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay.
我數著日子,盼著光明
But theres a shaft of light where I count my days,
我不能絕望,讓力量無處可去
So dont despair of the empty chair,
我知道我還有夢中的聖地
And somehow Ill be there .
有時我強壯有力,又是我壓抑委屈
一次我打碎自己,又一次我不能言語
Some days Im strong, some days Im weak,
再熱烈的渴望,都只怕是白白期許
And days Im so broken I can barely speak,
總會回家的
There's a place in my head where my thoughts still roam,
冬天帶走了樹上生命的痕跡
Where somehow Ive come home.
但你的眼神穿過黑暗,凝望窗外
我一次次錯過與你的約會,讓你恨恨離去
And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare,
只留下我的位置和空空的座椅
And you just stare out the window in the darkness there.
但不知為何我感到,就在那裡
Well I was always late for every meal youll swear,
你和我,同在一起
But keep my place and the empty chair,
And somehow Ill be there,
And somehow Ill be there.
