[I. Brief Encounter] [一相见恨晚]

   

A spider wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow 蜘蛛漫无目的地游荡了阴影的温暖中

Not the regal creature of border caves 边境洞穴不是富豪生物

But the poor, misguided, directionless familiar 但是可怜的，被误导的，没有方向的熟悉

Of some obscure Scottish poet 一些不起眼的苏格兰诗人

   

The mist crawls from the canal 从运河雾中爬

Like some primordial phantom of romance 喜欢浪漫的某些原始的幻象

To curl, under a cascade of neon pollen 卷曲，霓虹灯花粉的级联下

While I sit tied to the phone like an expectant father 当我坐在绑在手机像一个准爸爸

Your carnation will rot in a vase. 您康乃馨会烂在一个花瓶。

   

[II. Lost Weekend] [二。失去的周末]

   

A train sleeps in a siding 火车睡在壁板

The driver guzzles another can of lager 司机很费啤酒的另可

To wash away the memories of a Friday night down at the club 洗去周五晚上下的回忆在俱乐部

   

She was a wallflower at sixteen 她是一个局外人，在16

She'll be a wallflower at thirty four 她会是一个局外人，在34

Her mother called her beautiful 她的母亲叫她美丽

Her daddy said, "A whore". 她的爸爸说， “妓女” 。

   

[III. Blue Angel] [三。蓝色天使]

   

The sky was Bible black in Lyon 天空是黑色的圣经里昂

When I met the Magdalene 当我遇到了抹大拉

She was paralysed in a streetlight 她瘫痪在路灯

She refused to give her name 她拒绝透露她的名字

   

And a ring of violet bruises 和紫色瘀伤的环

They were pinned upon her arm. 他们在她的手臂完全寄托。

Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand 两百法郎的庇护和她带领我的手

To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears 一个房间跳舞阴影，所有的心痛消失

And from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear 从发光的蜡烛舌头我在耳边听见她小声

"'J'entend ton coeur" “ Jentend吨心”

I can hear your heart 我可以听到你的心脏

   

[IV. Misplaced Rendezvous] [四。错位的交会]

   

It's getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paper 不早了，对涂鸦和刮伤纸张

Something's gonna give under this pressure 这种压力下，一些公司会给予

And the cracks are already beginning to show 和裂缝已经开始显现

It's too late 为时已晚

The weekend career girl never boarded the plane 周末职业女性从来没有登上飞机

They said this could never happen again 他们说，这可能永远不会再发生

So wrong, so wrong 所以错了，真的错了

   

This time it seems to be another misplaced rendezvous 这一次，它似乎又是放错地方的交会

This time, it's looking like another misplaced rendezvous 这一次，它看起来像另一个错位交会

With you 与你

The parallel of you, you 你，你并行

   

[V. Windswept Thumb] [五。海风吹拂拇指]

   

On the outskirts of nowhere 在无处郊区

On the ringroad to somewhere 在环城公路某处

On the verge of indecision 在犹豫不决的边缘

I'll always take the roundabout way 我将始终以迂回的方式

Waiting on the rain 守候在雨中

For I was born with a habit, from a sign 因为我是天生的一种习惯，从一个标志

The habit of a windswept thumb à海风吹拂拇指的习惯

And the sign of the rain 和雨的迹象

It's started raining 它开始下雨
