I Am A Rock

I Am a Rock (Alternate Version) - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)

A winter's day

冬日里的一天

In a deep and dark December;

十二月的深夜

I am alone

我独自一人

Gazing from my window to the streets below

注视着窗外的街道

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

被刚刚落下的雪花静静地覆盖着

I am a rock

我是一块岩石

I am an island

我是一座孤岛

I've built walls

我建了一面墙

A fortress deep and mighty

一座深而恢弘的堡垒

That none may prate

无人能越过

I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain

我不需要友谊 友谊会带来伤痛

It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

那是笑声 是我所不屑的爱

I am a rock

我是一块岩石

I am an island

我是一座孤岛

Don't talk of love

不要跟我提起爱

But I've heard the words before;

这个词我曾听说过

It's sleeping in my memory

如今它已沉睡在我的记忆里

I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died

我不会去打扰那些已经僵死的感情

If I never loved I never would have cried

如果我从未爱过 我便不会哭泣

I am a rock

我是一块岩石

I am an island

我是一座孤岛

I have my books

我有我的书

And my poetry to protect me;

和诗歌来保护我

I am shielded in my armor

我被自己的盔甲隔离

Hiding in my room safe within my womb

躲在自己的房里 安全如母亲的子宫

I touch no one and no one touches me

我触碰不到任何人 也无人能打动我

I am a rock

我是一块岩石

I am an island

我是一座孤岛

And a rock feels no pain;

岩石感觉不到疼痛

And an island never cries

而岛屿从不哭泣
