【星期天與喬治同遊公園】畫完這頂帽子 Finishing the hat





Yes, she looks for me, good
Let her look for me to tell me why she left me
As I always knew she would
I had thought she understood
They have never understood
And no reason that they should
But if anybody could
是,她找著我,很好
讓她來找我,告訴我為何離去
我早知道她會離去
我曾以為她會懂
但她們從來不懂
她們也沒有理由懂
但若能有人懂....

Finishing the hat
How you have to finish the hat
How you watch the rest of the world from a window
While you finish the hat
畫完一頂帽子
為何你需要畫完一頂帽子
你怎麼透過一扇窗看見整個世界
又能一邊畫完一頂帽子

Mapping out a sky
What you feel like, planning a sky
How you feel when voices that come through the window, go
Until they distance and die
Until there's nothing but sky
描繪著整片天空
計畫這片天空是甚麼樣的感受
你怎麼感受聲響穿越窗戶
然後遠離直到死窮
直到天空只剩下天空

And how you're always turning back too late
From the grass or the stick Or the dog or the light
How the kind of woman willing to wait
Not the kind that you want to find waiting
To return you to the night
你總是太晚從花草樹木或隻小狗或光線,拉開眼神回頭看
才發現怎麼等你的女人從不是你想要她等你夜歸的女人

Dizzy from the height
Coming from the hat, studying the hat
Entering the world of the hat
Reaching through the world of the hat like a window
Back to this one from that
高處不勝寒
只因這頂帽子、研讀這頂帽子
進入一個帽子的世界
伸手觸碰帽子的世界
如窗一般
從帽子再回到窗外

Studying a face
Stepping back to look at a face
Leaves a little space in the way like a window
But to see, it's the only way to see
研讀一張臉
向後踏才能看清一張臉
如窗一般隔著一點點距離
但去看
是看見的唯一方法

And when the woman that you wanted goes
You can say to yourself, well, I give what I give
But the woman who won't wait for you knows
That however you live there's a part of you always standing by
Mapping out the sky
當你愛的女人遠去,你還會對自己說你已經付出給盡
但懂你的人將不再等你,她知道你總是保留部分距離
描繪著整片天空


Finishing a hat,
Starting on a hat
Finishing a hat,
Look I made a hat
Where there never was a hat
畫完一頂帽子
開始一頂帽子
畫完一頂帽子
看我無中生有
畫完了頂帽子
