The Windmills Of Your Mind

Round,
圓，
Like a circle in a spiral
如一圈圈漩渦不斷湧出
Like a wheel within a wheel
如一隻只車輪環環相嵌。
Never ending or beginning
無盡亦無源
On an ever-spinning reel
如一隻轉個不停的捲筒
Like a snowball down a mountain
如一個滾滾而來的雪球
Or a carnival balloon
如一隻嘉年華里的氣球
Like a carousel that s turning
如一個旋轉木馬在奔騰
Running rings around the moon
在月亮周圍環繞著
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
如一面鐘以時針的手
Past the minutes on it s face
掃過歲月的臉
And the world is like an apple
世界就像一個蘋果
Whirling silently in space
靜靜地迴旋在宇宙
Like the circles that you find
你會找到旋轉的韻律
In the windmills of your mind
在你心中的風車裡
Like a tunnel that you follow
如你所循著的隧道
To a tunnel of it s own
竟自通向
Down a hollow to a cavern
一個空曠的岩洞，
Where the sun has never shone
在那裡陽光從未揮灑
Like a door that keeps revolving
如一扇旋轉著的門
In a half-forgotten dream
停留在一個幾近被遺忘的夢裡
Like the ripples from a pebble
如泛起的一陣陣漣漪
Someone tosses in a stream
回應著那顆被投進溪流的卵石
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
如一面鐘以時針的手
Past the minutes on it s face
掃過歲月的臉
And the world is like an apple
世界就像一個蘋果
Whirling silently in space
靜靜地迴旋在宇宙
Like the circles that you find
你會找到旋轉的韻律
In the windmills of your mind
在你心中的風車裡
Keys that jingle in your pocket
鑰匙在你口袋中的叮噹聲
Words that jangle in your head
彷彿在腦海中爭吵著：
Why did summer go so quickly?
為什麼夏天這麼快離去？
Was it something that you said?
是不是因為你說了什麼？
Lovers walk along a shore
情人們沿著海濱漫步
leave their footprints in the sand
在沙灘上留下他們的腳印
its the sound of distant drumming
那遠方的鼓聲
Just the fingers of your hand?
是否來自你的手指？
Pictures hanging in a hallway
掛在走廊上的一張張照片
and the fragment of a song
和這首歌的片言碎語
Half-remembered names and faces
以及那些幾乎被忘卻的名字和容顏
But to whom do they belong?
它們又屬於誰呢？
When you knew that it was over
當你以為一切都已經過去
you were suddenly aware
你卻忽然發覺
That the autumn leaves were turning
秋葉正變為
To the colour of her hair?
她頭髮的顏色？
Like a circle in a spiral
如一圈圈漩渦不斷湧出
Like a wheel within a wheel
如一隻只車輪環環相嵌
Never ending or beginning
無盡亦無源
On an ever-spinning reel
如一隻轉個不停的捲筒
As the images unwind
當畫面展開
Like the circles that you find
你會找到旋轉的韻律
In the windmills of your mind
在你心中的風車裡
