Ceiling Gazing - Mark Kozelek

Laying in my bed ceiling gazing

躺在床上望着天花板

Wide awake with jet lag from Australia

从澳洲回来 因为时差我无法入睡

Got a stack of mail a wedding invitation

From a new young relative I've never even met

收了一堆邮件 里边有封结婚邀请函

来自一位我未曾谋面的年轻亲戚

Got me thinking about my grandpa for some reason

不知为何让我想到我的爷爷

Met him half a dozen times in the nursing home

我在养老院见过他五六次

Last time I saw him he was in a box

上一次见到他 他就已经离开人世了

They were lowering him into the ground

家人们把他安葬

St Mary's church stood so high

圣玛丽教堂高高耸立

It was the first and the last time I saw my dad cry

那是我唯一一次见我父亲失声痛哭

The ground had a thin coat of snow

路面被一层薄薄的积雪覆盖

And I wandered off in the cold

It's three forty seven AM June thirteenth

我在寒冷中踱来踱去

那是6月13日凌晨3点47分

It's my sister's birthday today I think

我记得那天是我姐姐生日

I wanna give her a call see how she's doing

我想打电话 问问她最近怎么样

She had a rough divorce I hope she's improved

她经历过离婚的痛苦 希望她已经走出阴影

I want to reach out and give her my love

Put a smile on her face like when we were young

我想给她力量 用爱安抚她

让她重现笑颜 就像小时候一般

Listening to records from the library

听着从图书馆借来的唱片

Hermit of mink hollow and dreamboat Annie

水貂空心隐士和梦中情人安妮

She lives with her daughters all alone

Across the street from a cornfield in Ohio

她一直和女儿生活在一起

从俄亥俄州一片玉米田穿过街道

One's four one's seven and I love them so

一个四岁 一个七岁 两个女儿都是我的心肝宝贝

I want to live a long time and see them grow

我想在这儿多待些时间 看着她们长大

Outside my window tonight Sausalito's twinkling lights

远远向窗外望去 索萨利托的夜晚万家灯火

My love's beside me deep asleep

The dog is laying between my feet

爱人在我身旁 睡梦香甜

狗狗也卧倒在我脚边

Outside my window tonight

今夜 远远向窗外望去

The cargo ships are cruising

货船在海面上穿梭

And I'm so happy to be alive

我是如此庆幸自己还活着

To have these people in my life

身边有这么多亲朋好友

Laying in my bed ceiling gazing

躺在床上望着天花板

Can't make my mind stop from racing

我思绪万千

It's not good or bad it's just how God made me

不论好坏 都是上帝的赋予

To lay awake at night ceiling gazing

望着天花板 今夜我无法入睡
