Eagles--Waiting In The *****2

It's comin' on the end of August

八月即将走到尽头

Another summer's promise almost gone

又一个夏日的承诺 几近消逝

And though I heard some wise man say

虽然曾听智者说过

That every dog will have his day

每条狗都有得意之时

He never mentioned that these dog days get so long

却未提及这苦夏竟如此漫长

I don't know when I realized the dream was over

不知何时才意识到 美梦已醒

Well, there was no particular hour, no given day

没有特定的时刻 没有明确的日子

You know, it didn't go down in flame

你知道 这段感情并非轰然落幕

There was no final scene, no frozen frame

没有最终场景 没有定格画面

I just watched it slowly fade away

我只是看着它慢慢消逝

And I've been waiting in the *****

我一直在*****守候

Waiting for my time to come around again and

等待属于我的时机再次轮回

Hope is floating on the breeze

希望随风轻轻飘荡

Carrying my soul high up above the ground and

I've been keepin' to myself

将我的灵魂托向高空

我始终独自默默承受

Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing

明知四季更迭 时光流转

Even though you're with somebody else

纵使你已另结新欢

He'll never love you like I do

他永远不及我这般爱你

I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows

我与鸦雀为伴 静候时光

While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage

看孔雀在舞台上昂首阔步

If finding love is just a dance

Proximity and chance

若寻爱仅是场舞会

靠机缘与巧合

You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade

请原谅我缺席这假面舞会

And I've been waiting in the *****

我一直在*****守候

Waiting for the dust to settle down along the

等待尘埃落定 沿着那

Back roads running through the fields

穿过田野的乡间小路

Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town

躺在这孤独小镇的边缘

And I imagine sunlight in your hair

我幻想着阳光洒在你发间

You're at the county fair

你在县集市上

You're holding hands and laughing

与人十指相扣 笑语嫣然

And now the ferris wheel has stopped

如今摩天轮已停止转动

You're swinging on the top

你在高处摇摆

Suspended there with him

与他相依相偎

And he's the darling of the sheik

他是众人眼中的宠儿

The flavor of the week is melting

短暂的欢愉正在消融

Down your pretty summer dress

Baby, what a mess you're making

顺着你美丽的夏裙滑落

亲爱的 你正陷入怎样的混乱

I've been stumbling through some dark places

我曾在黑暗中跌跌撞撞

Now I'm following the plow

如今我正追随犁痕前行

I know I've fallen out of your good graces

我知道我已失去你的青睐

It's alright now

但没关系

And I've been waiting in the *****

我一直在*****守候

Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the

等待夏雨洒落

Wild birds scattering the seeds

惊起飞鸟 播撒希望的种子

Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune

应和潮汐永恒的韵律

The phases of the moon

月亮的阴晴圆缺

The chambers of the heart

心房的每一次跳动

The ebb and dart of small gray

灰暗的潮起潮落

Spiders spinning in the dark

蜘蛛在黑暗中织网

In spite of all the times the web is torn apart

尽管蛛网一次次被撕裂

And I've been waiting in the *****

Waiting for the time to come around again and

我一直在*****守候

等待时光轮回

Hope is floating on the breeze

希望随风轻轻飘荡

Carrying my soul high up above the ground and

将我的灵魂托向高空

I've been keepinl to myself

我始终独自守候

Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing

明知四季更迭 时光流转

Even though you're with somebody else

纵使你已另结新欢

He'll never love you like I do

他永远不及我这般爱你
