[00:01.000] 作曲 : Yusuf / Cat Stevens
[00:20.229] I was born in the West-End
[00:23.413] In the summer of ’48
[00:26.885] Above a small Cafe
[00:29.817] Some people liked to come there and call it night
[00:32.483] But for me it was all day
[00:35.958] Oh! Now the dogs keep a-growlin’
[00:43.413] Round my front door
[00:48.761] And the Truth howled out from the editing floor
[00:56.215]
[00:58.338] Years went by
[01:01.278] Quarrymen came along
[01:04.209] This boy became a star
[01:07.913] Then he dropped – but got up again
[01:10.306] With a Black Everly guitar
[01:13.516] Then he searched along the road
[01:16.439] A good song he was looking for
[01:26.022] And the Truth sang out from the editing floor
[01:33.541]
[01:48.448] Big brother took a trip
[01:51.668] As bold as he could be
[01:54.627] To the place, he heard,
[01:57.831] Where the good Prophets used to walk
[02:00.765] High above this dark world
[02:03.701] Then the Word came down
[02:09.279] And the little brother saw
[02:16.489] How the Truth was buried on the editing floor
[02:23.171]
[02:35.431] One day the papers rang us up,
[02:38.616] T’check if I said this?
[02:41.796] I said, “Oh boy!
[02:44.745] I’d never say that!”
[02:47.658] Then we got down to the truth of it
[02:50.584] But they never printed that!
[02:54.036] Just like Socrates, the man from Greece
[03:08.966] Fell down on his knees
[03:15.104] Said, Lord! Forgive them please
[03:20.432] Forgive them please
[03:24.428] And he spoke no more
[03:32.680] And the cup spilled out on the editing floor
歌词翻译
[00:20.229] 我出生在伦敦西区
[00:23.413] 在48年的夏天
[00:26.885] 一间小咖啡馆上方
[00:29.817] 有些人喜欢来那里,并称之为夜晚之所
[00:32.483] 但对我来说,这就是一整天的时光
[00:35.958] 哦!现在狗不停地咆哮着
[00:43.413] 绕过我的前门
[00:48.761] ''真相''从编辑室呼啸而出
[00:56.215]
[00:58.338] 岁月流逝
[01:01.278] 采石工人来到这里
[01:04.209] 这个男孩成了明星
[01:07.913] 然后他跌入谷底,却又东山再起
[01:10.306] 带着他的黑色Everly吉他
[01:13.516] 然后他沿着路搜寻
[01:16.439] 他在找一首好歌
[01:26.022] ''真相''在编辑室里唱了出来
[01:33.541]
[01:48.448] 哥哥去旅行了
[01:51.668] 他尽他所有的勇气
[01:54.627] 到了善良的先知们过去常走的地方
[01:57.831] 听到了不为人知的消息
[02:00.765] 在这个黑暗世界的上空
[02:03.701] 然后消息传了下来
[02:09.279] 小兄弟看到了
[02:16.489] ''真相''是如何被埋葬在编辑室的
[02:23.171]
[02:35.431] 有一天报社给我们打电话
[02:38.616] 我说这话了吗?
[02:41.796] 我说:“天哪!
[02:44.745] 我绝不会这么说!”
[02:47.658] 然后我们开始了解真相
[02:50.584] 但他们从来没印过!
[02:54.036] 就像苏格拉底,来自希腊
[03:08.966] 他跪倒在地
[03:15.104] 说,主啊!请原谅他们
[03:20.432] 请原谅他们
[03:24.428] 他不再说话
[03:32.680] 杯子倒了,水洒在编辑台上了...
