The Windmills of Your Mind
The Windmills of Your Mind
Round like a circle in a spiral
如一圈圈旋涡不断涌出
Like a wheel within a wheel
如一只只车轮环环相嵌
Never ending on beginning
无尽亦无源
On an ever-spinning reel
如一只转个不停的卷筒
Like a snowball down a mountain
如一个滚滚而来的雪球
Or a carnival balloon
如一只嘉年华里的气球
Like a carousel that's turning
如一个旋转木马在奔腾
Running rings around the moon
在月亮周围环绕着
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
如时钟的钟摆
Past the minutes on its face
扫过岁月的面庞
And the world is like an apple
世界像一个苹果
Whirling silently in space
静静地回旋在宇宙之间
Like the circles that you find
你会找到旋转的韵律
In the windmills of your mind
在你心中不停翻滚
Like a tunnel that you follow
如你所循着的隧道
To a tunnel of its own
径直通向
Down a hollow to a cavern
一个空旷的岩洞
Where the sun has never shone
在那里阳光从未挥洒
Like a door that keeps revolving
如一扇旋转着的门
In a half-forgotten dream
停留在一个几近被遗忘的梦里
Or the ripples from a pebble
如泛起的一阵阵涟漪
Someone tosses in a stream
回应着那颗被投进溪流的卵石
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
如时钟的钟摆
Past the minutes on its face
扫过岁月的面庞
And the world is like an apple
世界像一个苹果
Whirling silently in space
静静地回旋在宇宙之间
Like the circles that you find
你会找到旋转的韵律
In the windmills of your mind
在你心中不停翻滚
Keys that jingle in your pocket
钥匙在你的口袋叮当响起
Words that jangle in your head
仿佛你脑海里的混乱
Why did summer go so quickly
为何夏日时光匆匆而逝
Was it something that I said
是不是因为我的话语
Lovers walk along a shore
恋人们沿着海滨漫步
And leave their footprints in the sand
沙滩上留下他们的脚印
Was the sound of distant drumming
那远方的鼓声
Just the fingers of your hand
是否因你而响
Pictures hanging in a hallway
挂在走廊里的一张张照片
Or the fragment of a song
这首歌的旋律片段
Half-remembered names and faces
还有那几乎被忘却的名字和容颜
But to whom do they belong
它们又属于谁
When you knew that it was over
当你以为一切都已过去
Were you suddenly aware
你却忽然发觉
That the autumn leaves were turning
秋叶的色彩
To the color of her hair
和她的头发颜色一样
Like a circle in a spiral
如一圈圈旋涡不断涌出
Like a wheel within a wheel
如一只只车轮环环相嵌
Never ending or beginning
无尽亦无源
On an ever-spinning reel
如一只转个不停的卷筒
As the images unwind
当画面展开
Like the circles that you find
你会找到旋转的韵律
In the windmills of your mind
在你心中不停翻滚
