Black Diamond Bay

Up on the white veranda
[tool:歌詞滾動姬(lrc-maker.github.io)]
She wears a necktie and a Panama hat.
在像牙塔的頂端
Her passport shows a face
她穿戴好領結和巴拿馬草帽
From another time and place
她的護照上的照片
She looks nothin' like that.
拍自昔日，取自故地
And all the remnants of her recent past
她看上去判若二人
Are scattered in the wild wind.
她腦中僅存的回憶
She walks across the marble floor
被狂風所煙消雲散
Where a voice from the gambling room is callin' her to come on in.
她走過大理石砌成的地面
She smiles, walks the other way
聽到賭坊吆喝的叫聲
As the last ship sails and the moon fades away
她微笑著換了一條路
From Black Diamond Bay.
當末帆起航，皓月隱逸之時
As the mornin' light breaks open, the Greek comes down
從黑色鑽石灣中
And he asks for a rope and a pen that will write.
第一縷陽光穿透天際，一個希臘人走下樓
'Pardon, monsieur,' the desk clerk says,“
要來一支筆和繩子寫字
Carefully removes his fez,
早安，先生。”前台招呼道
'Am I hearin' you right?'“
又小心地整了整他的氈帽
And as the yellow fog is liftin
我沒聽漏什麼吧？”
The Greek is quickly headin' for the second floor.
'黃色的煙霧散去
She passes him on the spiral staircase
希臘人迅速回到了二樓
Thinkin' he's the Soviet Ambassador,
她在螺旋式的樓梯路過他
She starts to speak, but he walks away
想到他是蘇聯的大使
As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches sway
他對她的搭訕視若無睹
On Black Diamond Bay.
當烏雲籠罩，棕櫚顫動時
A soldier sits beneath the fan
在黑色鑽石灣上
Doin' business with a tiny man who sells him a ring.
一位士兵坐在風扇旁
Lightning strikes, the lights blow out.
和一個賣給他手環的矮子做買賣
The desk clerk wakes and begins to shout,
閃電襲來，電燈跳閘
'Can you see anything?'“
前台驚醒，尖叫不止
Then the Greek appears on the second floor
你們能看見什麼嗎？ ”
In his bare feet with a rope around his neck,
希臘人從第二層出現
While a loser in the gambling room lights up a candle,
他雙腳赤裸，脖子間繞著一根繩子
Says, 'Open up another deck.'
這時，一個輸了的賭徒點亮一支蠟燭
But the dealer says, 'Attendez-vous, s'il vous plait,'
說道：“再開一把”
As the rain beats down and the cranes fly away
'不過商人說著：“請再等一會”
From Black Diamond Bay.
當雨點落下，鶴群飛遠
The desk clerk heard the woman laugh
從黑色鑽石灣里
As he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got tough.
前台聽到女人的大笑
He tried to grab the woman's hand,
他思索了後果，看到了士兵在忍耐
Said, 'Here's a ring, it cost a grand.'“
他試著去抓住那女人的手
She said, 'That ain't enough.'
這是一枚價值一千美元的戒指”
Then she ran upstairs to pack her bags
她說：“可是這還不夠”
While a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curb.
她跑上樓去拿回她的包
She passed the door that the Greek had locked ,
當一個馬車司機在市場待命時
Where a handwritten sign read, 'Do Not Disturb.'
她想要穿過希臘人鎖上的門
She knocked upon it anyway
門上貼著“請勿打擾”的標誌
As the sun went down and the music did play
她不停地敲著門
On Black Diamond Bay.
當太陽上山，音樂響起時
'I've got to talk to someone quick!'“
在這黑色鑽石灣
But the Greek said, 'Go away,' and he kicked the chair to the floor.
我有急事找人！ ”
He hung there from the chandelier.
但是希臘人回應：“走開。 ”他又踢掉地上的椅子
She cried, 'Help, there's danger near
他吊死在這裡
Please open up the door!'
她哭道：“拜託，這裡即將大難臨頭，
Then the volcano erupted
快把門給打開。 ”
And the lava flowed down from the mountain high above.
這時，火山噴發了
The soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the corner
熔漿從山頂爆射下來
Thinking of forbidden love.
士兵和矮子蜷縮在角落裡
But the desk clerk said, 'It happens every day,'
回憶著自己的人生
As the stars fell down and the fields burned away
但是前台不以為然：“這事每天都有。”
On Black Diamond Bay.
當群星隱耀，野火燎原之時
As the island slowly sank
在這黑色鑽石灣
The loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room.
島嶼正緩慢下沉
The dealer said, 'It's too late now.
輸了的賭徒終於搶劫了銀行
You can take your money, but I don't know how
商人嘆息道：“太遲了，
You'll spend it in the tomb.'
這錢你拿去吧，不過我不知道
The tiny man bit the soldier's ear
你要怎麼在墳墓里花光它。”
As the floor caved in and the boiler in the basement blew,
矮子拉著士兵的耳朵
While she's out on the balcony, where a stranger tells her,
當地板崩塌，地下室的鍋爐燒開時
'My darling, je vous aime beaucoup.'“
此時她走出陽台，一個陌生人告訴她
She sheds a tear and then begins to pray
親愛的，我喜歡你。”
As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away
她流下眼淚開始祈禱
From Black Diamond Bay.
當火勢蔓延，煙霧籠罩時
I was sittin' home alone one night in L.A.,
從那黑色鑽石灣
Watchin' old Cronkite on the seven o'clock news.
我獨自在洛杉磯待了一晚
It seems there was an earthquake that
觀看著七點整老克朗凱特的節目
Left nothin' but a Panama hat
看上去發生了一場地震
And a pair of old Greek shoes.
它摧毀了一切，只留下一頂巴拿馬草帽
Didn't seem like much was happenin',
和一雙希臘的鞋子
So I turned it off and went to grab another beer.
貌似沒有多大事
Seems like every time you turn around
所以我關上電視，又倒上一杯啤酒
There's another hard-luck story that you're gonna hear
好像你每次都會改變意見
And there's really nothin' anyone can say
如果你要聽，這裡還有一個不幸的故事
And I never did plan to go anyway
可這裡沒有人能訴說
To Black Diamond Bay.
而我也不打算再去
