蘇菲的Magic Garden

這首Simon & Garfunkel的名曲，
由Paul Simon所譜寫，
其詞意動人、優美如散文，
被Garfunkel譽為最美的一首歌，
並將之獻唱給美麗的妻子，
現在就讓Sophie學唱給朋友們聽~~

<Kathy's Song>
作詞/作曲：Paul Simon

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
我聽見細雨的聲音
如記憶般輕暖不停地撒落著
輕拍著我的屋頂和牆壁

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies
從我內心深處
透過我的雙眸
我凝視著被細雨浸濕的街道
心飄向我心所嚮往的英格蘭

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
我心煩意亂心緒不寧
思緒飄到遙遠的地方
它們在你睡夢中駐足
並在一天開始之際親吻你

And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
我擱下正在寫的一首曲子
不知自己為何要耗費時間
用滿是淚水和緊繃的旋律
寫些我自己都不敢相信的曲子

And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you
所以你看我已經開始懷疑
那些我曾經認為是真實的一切
我孤立無援毫無信念
所知道的唯一真理就是你

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I
而當我望著那雨滴編織著它們疲憊的旅程之後沉寂
我知道我就如同這雨一般
將能與你同行視為一種恩賜
