Cage The Songbird-Elton John

[00:00.00] 作词 : John, Johnstone, Taupin [00:01.00] 作曲 : Elton John & Davey Johnstone & Bernie Taupin [00:07.80]Sober in the mornin' light
晨光中清醒时分 [00:14.07]Things look so much different
昨夜景象已全然不同 [00:16.35]To how they looked last night
与记忆中的模样 [00:20.85]A pale face pressed to an unmade bed
苍白面颊深陷凌乱床褥 [00:26.16]Like flags of many nations
如万国旗帜飘扬 [00:27.96]Flyin' high above her head
在她头顶猎猎招展 [00:33.75]The cellophane still on the flowers
玻璃纸仍包裹着花束 [00:40.20]The telegram still in her hand
电报仍紧攥在掌心 [00:46.56]As whispers circulate all day
流言终日盘旋不散 [00:52.47]Their back-stage baby princess passed away
后台的宝贝公主香消玉殒 [00:58.17]And you can cage the songbird
你虽能囚禁夜莺 [01:02.16]But you can't make her sing
却无法令她歌唱 [01:04.68]And you can trap the free bird
你虽能捕捉飞鸟 [01:08.40]But you'll have to clip her wings'
却必须剪断其翅膀 [01:10.71]Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies
因她翱翔时如鹰隼 [01:17.73]But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies
陨落时却似鹫俯冲 [01:39.00]Promises of no more lies
不再欺骗的承诺 [01:44.01]Fell flat upon an empty stage
跌碎在空荡舞台 [01:47.13]Before the audience arrived
观众尚未入场前 [01:51.15]A return in time to the cheaper seats
时光倒转廉价座位区 [01:55.86]She never knew what lay beneath
她始终未能察觉 [01:58.44]Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets
床单间泛黄的演出单 [02:04.41]Let down before the final curtain
终幕前就已坠落 [02:10.74]A shallow heart that left her cold
浅薄心意令她心寒 [02:17.25]She left in rouge upon the mirror
镜面残留胭脂印记 [02:22.20]A circled kiss oh, to the faithful fans who'd miss her
唇印圈起致忠实粉丝的思念 [02:28.98]And you can cage the songbird
你虽能囚禁夜莺 [02:32.61]But you can't make her sing
却无法令她歌唱 [02:35.10]And you can trap the free bird
你虽能捕捉飞鸟 [02:38.76]But you'll have to clip her wings'
却必须剪断其翅膀 [02:41.49]Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies
因她翱翔时如鹰隼 [02:48.06]But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies
陨落时却似鹫俯冲
