Year of the Cat (Edit) - Al Stewart

On a morning from a Bogart movie

在鲍嘉电影里的一个早晨

In a country where they turn back time

在一个乡村，时间倒流

You go strolling through

你像彼得·罗一样

The crowd like Peter Lorre

漫步在人群里

Contemplating a crime

眼睛直直地盯着一个罪犯

She comes out of the sun

她走出阳光

In a silk dress running

穿着真丝连衣裙奔跑

Like a watercolor in the rain

就像雨中的水彩画一样

Don't bother asking for explanations

别想得到任何解释

She'll just tell you that she came

她只会告诉你

In the year of the cat

她来自猫年

She doesn't give you time for questions

她不会给你提问的时间

As she locks up your arm in hers

她让你们紧紧相拥

And you follow till

你一直跟随她

Your sense of which direction

直到你的方向感

Completely disappears

完全消失

By the blue tiled walls

在蓝色的瓷砖墙壁旁边

Near the market stalls

在街道的摊位附近

There's a hidden door she leads you to

她带你去隐形之门

These days she says "I feel my life

她说，我感觉自己的生活

Just like a river running through"

就像流水一般潺潺流动

The year of the cat

Why she looks at you so coolly

为什么她如此冷漠地看着你

And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea

她的双眼闪闪发光，就像倒映在大海中的月亮

She comes in incense and patchouli

她浑身带着香气

So you take her to find

所以你带着她

What's waiting inside

找到内心等待的东西

Well morning comes and you're still with her

早晨来了，你仍和她在一起

And the bus and the tourists are gone

班车走了，游客们也走了

And you've thrown away

你放弃了你的选择

Your choice and lost your ticket

你丢失了车票

So you have to stay on

所以，你得等待

But the drumbeat strains of the night remain

但是鼓声依旧，夜晚又来临了

In the rhythm of the new-born day

在新的一天

You know sometime you're bound to leave her

有时你很清楚，你注定要离开她

But for now you're going to stay
