Famous Blue Raincoat

It's four in the morning, the end of December

I'm writing you now just to see if you're better

New York is cold, but I like where I'm living

There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening .

I hear that you're building

your little house deep in the desert
建造你的小屋
You're living for nothing now
現在你不為任何東西生活
I hope you're keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
對了，簡有天帶來了一綹你的頭髮
She said that you gave it to her
她說你把這給她
That night that you planned to go clear
那天晚上你打算毫無掛慮地走
Did you ever go clear?
有做到嗎？
Ah, the last time we saw you
啊，上一次我們見你
you looked so much older
你看起來蒼老了許多
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
你總穿著的藍色雨衣肩膀處已經破損
You'd been to the station to meet every train
你曾去車站瞭望每一輛火車
And you came home without Lili Marlene
回家時卻沒有帶回莉莉瑪蓮
And you treated my woman
把我的女人
to a flake of your life
當做你生活中的一掠影
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
她回來時已不是一個妻子
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
我看見你在那兒叼著一支玫瑰
One more thin gypsy thief
不過是一個瘦小的吉普賽小偷
Well I see Jane's awake --
我看見簡已經醒來了
She sends her regards.
問候了我
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
我能告訴你什麼呢，我的兄弟，我的殺手
What can I possibly say?

I'm glad you stood in my way.
我很高興你擋了我的去路
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
如果你再來，為了簡，或為我
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
你的敵人正在沉睡，他的女人你可以帶走
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
是的，謝謝你，為你帶走她的愁煩感謝
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
我曾認為它會一直在，所以從來未嘗試
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
而簡過來的時候帶來了一綹你的頭髮
She said that you gave it to her
她說你把這給她
That night that you planned to go clear
那天晚上，你打算毫無掛慮地走
