The Windmills Of Your Mind

The windmills of your mind

Dusty Springfield
圆形的，像那螺旋中的循环

或是摩天轮中的同心圆
Round, like a circle in a spiral
永无止息
Like a wheel within a wheel.
一圈圈地旋转
Never ending or beginning,
像那雪球从山巅滚落
On an ever spinning wheel
或是像气球升起
Like a snowball down a mountain
像那转动的旋转木马
Or a carnaval balloon
绕着月亮奔驰
Like a carousell that's turning
像那运行的时钟
Running rings around the moon
指针扫过脸上的分分秒秒

而这世界就像一个苹果
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
在时空中寂静地婆娑
Past the minutes on it's face
像你在意识的风车里
And the world is like an apple
找到的一圈又一圈
Whirling silently in space
像你探寻的密道
Like the circles that you find
通向了其中的幽径
In the windmills of your mind
地穴之中再探洞窟

那没有阳光照耀的所在
Like a tunnel that you follow
像那朦胧的梦中
To a tunnel of it's own
不断旋转的门
Down a hollow to a cavern
或者石子在溪流中
Where the sun has never shone
激起的涟漪
Like a door that keeps revolving
像那运行的时钟
In a half forgotten dream
指针扫过脸上的分分秒秒
Or the ripples from a pebble
而这世界就像一个苹果
Someone tosses in a stream.
在时空中寂静地婆娑

像你在意识的风车里
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
找到的一圈又一圈
Past the minutes on it's face
口袋里叮当的钥匙
And the world is like an apple
脑海中飘荡的话语
Whirling silently in space
为何夏日去兮如风
Like the circles that you find
是否因为我的无心之言
In the windmills of your mind
恋人们沿着海岸而行

在沙中留下足迹
Keys that jingle in your pocket
那远方的鼓点
Words that jangle your head
是否只是响指的回声
Why did summer go so quickly
走廊中飘荡的画
Was it something that I said
断断续续的歌声
Lovers walking allong the shore,
依稀记得的脸与名字
Leave their footprints in the sand
这些又属于谁呢
Was the sound of distant drumming
当你意识到这一切都已结束
Just the fingers of your hand
当你猛然惊醒

秋叶转黄
Pictures hanging in a hallway
让你想起她的头发
And a fragment of this song
像那螺旋中的循环
Half remembered names and faces
像那摩天轮中的同心圆
But to whom do they belong
永无止息
When you knew that it was over
一圈圈地旋转
Were you suddenly aware
回忆帧帧闪现
That the autumn leaves were turning
像你在意识的风车里
To the color of her hair
找到的一圈又一圈

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circle that you find
In the windmills of your mind
