American Tune 美利坚之歌

by Paul Simon

Many's, the time I'v been mistaken
犯过太多的错误

And many times confused
有过太多的困惑

Yes, and often felt forsaken
曾经孤独凄绝

And certainly misused
也一如既往 被人误解

But I'm all right, I'm all right
但一切还好，一切都还好

I'm just weary to my bones
只是意阑珊

Still, you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
繁华似锦不可得

So far away from home, so far away from home
回家路迢迢


And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
有哪个灵魂不是被千锤百炼

I don't have a friend who feels at ease
哪个人不是常心感戚戚

I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
又有哪个梦想不曾被粉碎

or driven to its knees
或屈服过

But it's all right, it's all right
但是没关系，真的没有关系

We've lived so well so long
生活仍是源远流长

Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on
回溯来时路

I wonder what's going on
到底发生了什么

I can't help wonder what's going on
我不禁犹疑 究竟发生了什么


And I dreamed I was dying
我曾幻想自己正在死去

And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
灵魂如缕烟般升起

And looking back down at me
低头俯望

Smiled reassunngly
安详微笑

And I dreamed I was flying
于是我幻想自己正在翱翔

And high up above my eyes could clearly see
尽高处，目力所及

The Statue of Liberty
自由女神像

Sailing away to sea
正向大海航行

And I dreamed I was flying
而我正在翱翔



We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
我们都来自那艘叫五月花号的油轮

We come on the ship that sailed the moon
我们都来自那艘驶向月球的航船

We come in the age's most uncertain hour
我们都来自最未知的时刻

and sing an American tune
共唱一首 美利坚之歌

But it's all right, it's all right
不过没什么，真的一点都没什么

You can't be forever blessed
你不可能永远得到上帝的眷恋

Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day
明天又是普通平凡工作的一天

And I'm trying to get some rest
而我只想休息一会儿

That's all I'm trying to get some rest
我真的只是想 能休息那么一会儿
