作者：娇妮·蜜雪儿 [00:00.04] [00:13.26]I heard it in the wind last night
​昨夜我听见风声萧瑟 [00:15.81] [00:16.60]It sounded like applause
​像是舞台下观众如雷的掌声 [00:19.03]Did you get a round resounding for you
​沿着这条秋叶飘零的小径 [00:21.81]Way up here
​你是否也听到了熟悉的掌声？ [00:22.88] [00:24.56]It seems like many dim years ago
​就像数年以前 [00:27.39] [00:28.19]Since I heard that face to face
​你我初见之时（Joni与James Taylor在1969年的纽波特民谣音乐节上相遇） [00:30.31]Or seen you face to face
​一起听到的那般 [00:32.60]Though tonight I can feel you here
​不过今晚我可以在这感觉到你的气息 [00:35.09] [00:36.28]I get these notes
​我创作着这首歌的旋律，正值屋外蝴蝶戏花 [00:37.68]On butterflies and lilac sprays
​在紫丁香凋零之际 [00:41.08]From girls who just have to tell me
​你的女粉丝们兴致勃勃地告诉我 [00:44.56] [00:46.21]They saw you somewhere
​他们在某处看见了你 [00:50.24] [00:57.07]In some office sits a poet
​办事处坐着一位吟游诗人 [00:59.26]And he trembles as he sings
​他正颤抖着吟咏人生 [01:02.15]And he asks some guy
​他向身边人发出恳求 [01:03.74]To circulate his soul around
​能否将他的灵魂传至四方 [01:07.90] [01:08.52]On your mark red ribbon runner
​你的赛马系着红色的缎带​ [01:11.23] [01:11.94]The caressing rev of motors
​在这片追名逐利的赛场上 [01:13.86]Finely tuned like fancy women
​蹄声于你，充满了魅惑 [01:16.14]In thirties evening gowns
​​如同身着晚礼裙的复古名媛 [01:19.36] [01:20.16]Up the charts
​渐渐地你登上了榜单 [01:21.29]Off to the airport
​你频繁出入于机场候机厅 [01:22.99]Your name's in the news
​你的名字出现在新闻头条 [01:24.31]Everything's first class
​你开始享受最优质的生活 [01:26.42] [01:27.15]The lights go down
​可当聚光灯熄灭 [01:28.34]And it's just you up there
​你不过是一个普通人 [01:30.77] [01:31.59]Getting them to feel like that
一个唯有孤独相伴的普通人 [01:35.34] [01:40.38]Remember the days when you used to sit
​想想那些你抱着吉他专心创作的青涩日子 [01:43.30]And make up your tunes for love
​你曾为爱情谱写了许多曲调 [01:45.93]And pour your simple sorrow
​你曾将你稚嫩的情伤 [01:48.25]To the soundhole and your knee
​倾注进吉他的声孔，和你那倔强的自尊 [01:51.20] [01:51.92]And now you're seen
如今你声名远扬 [01:53.41]On giant screens
​你的尊容出现在大屏幕上 [01:55.13] [01:55.71]And at parties for the press
​你的身影出现在应接不暇的媒体见面会上 [01:58.03]And for people who have slices of you
​可还有一些对你怀有敌意的人 [02:00.33]From the company
​就存在于你的公司 [02:01.89] [02:03.54]They toss around your latest golden egg
​他们亵渎着你最近的成就 [02:06.48]Speculation well who's to know
​揣测着——哦，谁知道呢？ [02:09.11] [02:09.87]If the next one in the nest
下一次这家伙 [02:11.95] [02:12.88]Will glitter for them so
​还会不会这么好运 [02:18.75] [02:23.98]I guess I seem ungrateful
​我想我似乎是个忘恩负义的人 [02:25.92]With my teeth sunk in the hand
​毕竟我腐朽的身心开始向物质的生活妥协 [02:29.34]That brings me things
​名利带给我的一切奢华 [02:31.03]I really can't give up just yet
​我想我无法放弃了 [02:33.72] [02:35.87]Now I sit up here
​我正坐在这里 [02:37.29]The critic
​该死的评论家们！ [02:38.05] [02:38.72]And they introduce some band
​他们推荐了一些乐队 [02:40.53]But they seem so much confetti
​在电视上看完这些人的表演后 [02:42.83]Looking at them on my tv set
​我觉得他们很是花里胡哨 [02:45.35] [02:46.96]Oh the power and the glory
​这就是世人追求的名利啊 [02:49.22]Just when you're getting a taste for worship
​在你刚刚尝到受人尊敬的甜头时 [02:51.79]They start bringing out the hammers
​他们就准备毁掉你 [02:55.82] [02:57.17]And the boards
抨击你 [02:58.17]And the nails
​最后将你钉在耻辱柱上 [03:00.39] [03:07.63]I heard it in the wind last night
​昨夜我听见风声萧瑟 [03:09.95] [03:10.95]It sounded like applause
​像极了舞台下的掌声 [03:12.64] [03:13.45]Chilly now
秋意将至 [03:14.40]End of summer
夏日已然结束 [03:15.37]No more shiny hot nights
​不会再有明媚湿热的夜晚了 [03:17.87] [03:18.93]It was just the arbutus rustling
​好在还有杨梅树的窸窣 [03:21.16] [03:22.25]And the bumping of the logs
​伐木工的锤声 [03:24.30]And the moon swept down black water
​以及那黯淡的月色倾泻而下 [03:27.09]Like an empty spotlight
​仿佛舞台上寂寥的聚光灯
