Composed by:Elvis Costello
Mr Crescent
新月先生
Heard the song of both the lark and the linnet
听到云雀和红雀的歌声
Played them both upon a parlour spinet
在客厅的小钢琴上演奏
One with only nine strings in it
一首歌里只有九根弦
Clinging to the sounding board
紧紧抓住共鸣板
For that was all he could afford
因为那是他能承受的全部
Mr Crescent
新月先生
Made a wager on a landing stage
在舞台上下了赌注
If my ship comes in and the starboard light is blue not green
如果我的船驶来右舷的灯光是蓝色不是绿色
And the port light should be yellow not red
左轮手枪的信号灯应该是黄色而不是红色
You'll say the hold is full of false promises
你会说这世界充满虚假的承诺
When I know it's gold instead
当我知道这是金子时
Sister Honey said to Mr Crescent
Honey修女对Crescent先生说
Haven't you prayed away your doubt or isn't there
你有没有祈祷赶走你的疑虑
Anything more that I can bless
我可以给予更多祝福
As she buttoned her blue boot in a state of bliss
当她幸福地系上蓝色靴子的扣子时
Stared at the ceiling above their bed
凝望着他们床上的天花板
Thought of something her mother had said
想起她妈妈说过的话
Crescent is like a man I knew
Crescent就像我认识的那个人
Left me standing there with nothing but you
让我独自站在那里只有你
Don't be fooled now by his bill and coo
不要被他的花言巧语所愚弄
You'll be abandoned too he'll leave you with an I O U
你也会被抛弃他会让你痛不欲生
Mr Crescent sleeps quite late then rises
新月先生睡得很晚然后起床
Tries to stay out of the local assizes
试图远离地方法庭
Not one bird sings now he recognizes
没有一只鸟儿歌唱现在他明白了
He said I'm so long from the land that I came from
他说我离开家乡好遥远
I wonder where my Honey has gone
我想知道我的爱人去了哪里
I wonder where my Honey has gone
我想知道我的爱人去了哪里
