BOTH SIDES NOW





《Both Sides Now》



Sung By "Joni Mitchell"

Translated by Long Chengyun



rows and flows of angel hair  

and ice cream castles in the air  

and feather canyons everywhere  

i've looked at clouds that way  

像是天使或柔或卷的长发  

像是挂在空中的冰淇淋城堡

像是洒满羽毛的山谷

天上的云，在我眼中曾是这般景象

 

but now they only block the sun  

they rain and snow on everyone  

so many things i would have done  

but clouds got in my way  

但现在，乌云遮住了阳光  

雨雪纷飞，飘在我们身上  

许多事情等着我去完成  

但云却挡住我的脚步  

 

i've looked at clouds from both sides now  

from up and down, and still somehow  

it's cloud illusions i recall  

i really don't know clouds at all  

从现在起，我要看到云的两面  

看高处，看低处，

但这些

也不过是记忆里云的样子

我想其实我还是看不懂云 

 

moons and junes and ferris wheels  

the dizzy dancing way you feel  

as every fairy tale comes real  

i've looked at love that way  

像是月光，六月和摩天轮  

像是狂舞时感到的头晕目眩 

像是童话故事走进现实  

爱情，在我眼中曾是这般模样  

 

but now it's just another show  

you leave them laughing when you go  

and if you care, don't let them know  

don't give yourself away  

但现在它却是一场闹剧

你转身离去，成为别人的笑柄

如果你还在乎，就别让人看到

别让他们看到你真实的模样

 

i've looked at love from both sides now  

from give and take, and still somehow  

it's loves illusions i recall  

i really don't know love at all  

从现在起，我也要看爱情的两面  

看给予，看索取，

但这些  

也不过是记忆里爱情的样子  

我想其实我还是读不懂爱情  

 

tears and fears and feeling proud  

to say i love you right out loud  

dreams and schemes and circus crowds  

i've looked at life that way  

像是眼泪，恐惧和骄傲  

像是大声地说出我爱你  

像是梦想，计划和马戏团的人潮

人生，在我眼中曾是这般印象  

 

but now old friends are acting strange  

they shake their heads,they say i've changed  

somethings lost  

somethings gained in living everyday  

但现在老朋友也变得陌生

他们摇着头，说我已不再是原来模样

也许只有失去了，才能得到吧  

 

i've looked at life from both sides now  

from win and lose and still somehow  

it's lifes illusions i recall  

i really don't know life

从现在起，我更要看人生的两面  

看成功，看失败，

但这些 

也不过是记忆里人生的样子 

我想其实我还是不了解人生



The End.
