The Day Before You Came
The Day Before You Came - Blancmange
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I must have left my house at eight
我准是八点就出了门
Because I always do
这向来是我的习惯
My train I'm certain
列车如常准点
Left the station just when it was due
按时驶离了站台
I must have read the morning
进城的路上
Paper going into town
我定是读着晨报
And having gotten through the editorial
翻完社论版面时
No doubt I must have frowned
想必皱起了眉头
I must have made my desk
我定是在九点一刻左右
Around a quarter after nine
整理好了办公桌
With letters to be read and heaps of
待阅的信件堆积如山
Papers waiting to be signed
还有文件等待签署
I must have gone to lunch
我定是在十二点半左右
At half past twelve or so
去用了午餐
The usual place the usual bunch
老地方 老面孔
And still on top of this
一切如常
I'm pretty sure it must have rained
我确信那日必定下过雨
The day before you came
在你出现的前夕
I must have lit my seventh
我大概点燃了第七支烟
Cigarette at half past two
在凌晨两点半的孤寂里
And at the time I never even
而当时的我浑然不觉
Noticed I was blue
自己早已深陷忧郁
I must have kept on dragging
我定然是机械地重复着
Through the business of the day
日复一日的琐碎轨迹
Without really knowing anything
对一切懵懂无知
I hid a part of me away
我将真实的自己深深藏起
At five I must have left;
五点整必须离开
There's no exception to the rule
这条铁律从未被打破
A matter of routine
不过是例行公事
I've done it ever since I finished school
从毕业那年起就日复一日
The train back home again
再次踏上归家的列车
Undoubtedly I must have
毫无疑问 我必定
Read the evening paper then
翻阅晚报消磨时光
Oh yes I'm sure my life was well
噢 是的 我确信生活安稳
Within it's usual frame
沿着既定轨道运转
The day before you came
在你出现的前夕
I must have opened my front
我总在八点整推开
Door at eight o'clock or so
那扇熟悉的公寓门
And stopped along the way
途中偶尔稍作停留
To buy some Chinese food to go
买份中式快餐带走
I'm sure I had my dinner
我确信自己吃过晚餐
Watching something on TV
盯着电视消磨时光
There's not I think a single episode
我想没有哪一集
Of Dallas that I didn't see
《朱门恩怨》是我没看过的
I must have gone to bed
我肯定已经上床
Around a quarter after ten
大约十点一刻左右
I need a lot of sleep and
我需要大量睡眠
So I like to be in bed by then
所以喜欢准时入眠
I must have read awhile
我大概读了一会儿书
The latest one by Barbara
芭芭拉最新的那本
Cartland or something in that style
卡德兰风格的小说
It's funny but I have no
说来可笑 我却毫无
Sense of living without aim
人生目标地活着
The day before you came
在你出现的前夕
And turning out the lights
关灯准备睡觉时
I must have yawned and cuddled
我定是打着哈欠蜷缩着
Up for yet another night
又是一个不眠之夜
And rattling on the roof
雨点敲打着屋顶
I must have heard the sound of rain
我听见了雨声淅沥
The day before you came
在你出现的前夕
