惊悉爱尔兰女歌手 Sinéad O’Connor 辞世，喜欢她的歌，还曾经翻译过她的代表作 Streets of London
Streets of London
伦敦街道
Have you seen the old man
In the closed-down market
Kicking up the paper,
with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
And held loosely at his side
Yesterday’s paper telling yesterday’s news
你是否看到那个老人
当集市都已经关张
他穿破的鞋子
踏在零落的废纸上
在他眼里你看不到尊严
也看不到人类的高尚
颤巍巍他的手里捏着一张
昨天的报纸登着昨天的文章
So how can you tell me you’re lonely,
And say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I’ll show you something to make you change your mind
所以，你怎能说你孤单忧伤
还说，看不到自己的太阳
让我拉着你的手
走在伦敦街道上
你会改变你的颠倒梦想
只要跟我看看刚才的景象。
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She’s no time for talking,
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
你可曾看见那个老姑娘
走在伦敦街道上
尘土满头，褴褛衣裳
她没时间说话
她只能匆匆忙忙
两只手提袋里
是她全部的家当
所以，你怎能说你孤单忧伤
还说，看不到自己的太阳
让我拉着你的手
走在伦敦街道上
你会改变你的颠倒梦想
只要跟我看看刚才的景象。
In the all night cafe
At a quarter past eleven,
Same old man is sitting there on his own
Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea-cup,
Each tea last an hour
Then he wanders home alone
通宵的咖啡店里灯火微亮
时钟已接近午夜时光
同一个老人坐在自己身旁
透过杯子上的雾气
向着世界眺望
这杯茶喝了一个小时
然后他独自走在回家路上
所以，你怎能说你孤单忧伤
还说，看不到自己的太阳
让我拉着你的手
走在伦敦街道上
你会改变你的颠倒梦想
只要跟我看看刚才的景象。
