    Tom's Diner

    I am sitting In the morning     这个早晨 我坐在
    At the diner On the corner     餐厅的一个角落里
    I am waiting At the counter     我在等待 柜台前面的
    For the man To pour the coffee     那个男人 为我倒咖啡
    And he fills it Only halfway     而他 只倒了一半
    And before I even argue     在我提出抗议之前
    He is looking Out the window     他却望向窗外
    At somebody Coming in     有一个人正走进来

    " It is always Nice to see you"     "真高兴可以常常见到你"
    Says the man Behind the counter To     那个男人 站在柜台后面
    the woman Who has come in     对刚刚走进来的女人说
    She is shaking Her umbrella     她正在抖摇她的雨伞
    And I look The other way     而我 把头转向另一方向
    As they are kissing Their hellos     当他们互吻 他们说哈罗
    I'm pretending Not to see them     我假装看不见他们
    Instead I pour the milk     然后别过头把牛奶倒入咖啡里

    I open Up the paper     我翻开报纸
    There's a story Of an actor     那是一则关于某位演员的报导
    Who had died While he was drinking     他的生命在大醉时终止
    It was no one I had heard of     那是我不曾听过的演员
    And I'm turning To the horoscope    我翻阅星座版
    And looking For the funnies     开始在里面寻找有趣的事情
    When I'm feeling Someone watching me     当我感觉有目光在观察我
    And so I raise my head     我于是抬起头来

    There's a woman On the outside     那是一个女人 站在外面
    Looking inside Does she see me?     正往里面瞧 她在看我吗?
    No she does not Really see me     噢不 她并不是真的在看我
    Cause she sees Her own reflection     因为她看的 是镜子上自己的反影
    And I'm trying Not to notice     而我 假装没察觉
    That she's hitching Up her skirt     她把裙脚扯高
    & while she's Straightening hers tockings     当她把丝袜拉直的时候
    Her hair Is getting wet     她的头发被雨水沾湿


    Oh, this rain It will continue 噢 这场雨 看来还会继续下
    Through the morning As I'm listening 这样的早晨 我聆听着
    To the bells Of the cathedral 歌德式教堂传来的钟声
    I am thinking Of your voice... 我在想念 你的声音...
    And of the midnight picnic 和 那午夜的聚餐
    Once upon a time 很久以前的记忆了
    Before the rain began. 在我们之间的大雨还未落下之前
    I finish up my coffee 我把最后一口咖啡喝完
    It's time to catch the train 是时候去乘搭火车离开这里了


        Suzanne Vega。
        80年代民谣运动复兴的领军人物,既是歌手,又是一个出色的词曲作家。
        音乐总是那么清澈,嗓音总是那么淡淡的,像一条小溪一路流淌下来。听她的音乐的时候,感觉心地纯净,没有喧哗,没有嘈杂,有一种洗尽铅华的美丽。整首歌曲描叙的是一幅早餐即景,简单却蕴意深邃。
        这首歌清唱版本只唱了两分多钟,而且仅仅使用一个乐句反复循环唱下来的 ,像是念出来一样,连绵不绝“不断如此”的效果。Suzanne Vega平平淡 淡,既不温情、也不冷漠的声音,给这首歌笼上一层奇怪的灰暗色彩 。可以说Tom's Diner以十分独特的方式画出了城市人的生存状态。看到了一幅极有魅力的城市速写。而雨的气氛,昏暗的餐馆的气氛,音乐与人声传达的气氛都 暗中神通在一起,不露痕迹。

        ps:今天2月2龙抬头,按照家里的说法是要吃豆子的。。。为了避灾,发帖启福。。
