晚听英语 如果我能告诉你，我一定会让你知道

 

嘿

小耳朵，白色情人节快乐~

2018.03.14 GOODNIGHT

Time will say nothing but I told you so,

Time only knows the price we have to pay;

If I could tell you I would let you know.

If we should weep when clowns put on their show,

If we should stumble when musicians play,

Time will say nothing but I told you so.

There are no fortunes to be told, although,

Because I love you more than I can say,

If I could tell you I would let you know.

The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,

There must be reasons why the leaves decay;

Time will say nothing but I told you so.

Perhaps the roses really want to grow,

The vision seriously intends to stay;

If I could tell you I would let you know.

Suppose the lions all get up and go,

And all the brooks and soldiers run away;

Will Time say nothing but I told you so?

If I could tell you I would let you know.

译文参考

时间默默不语，但我曾与你倾述，

时间只洞悉了我们需要偿付的代价；

如果我能告诉你，我一定会让你知道。

如果伶人登场我们就要悲哭，

如果乐手演奏我们就变得结巴，

时间默默不语，但我曾与你倾述。

尽管，命运从未被道明，

因为，我对你的爱远胜言语能表白，

如果我能告诉你，我一定会让你知道。

起风了，风一定来自何处，

叶落了，一定有它的苦衷；

时间默默不语，但我曾与你倾述。

也许玫瑰热切盼望生长，

这幻景也无比希冀留驻；

如果我能告诉你，我一定会让你知道。

或许所有的狮子都起身离畔，

所有的溪流和士兵都将流散。

时间默默不语但我曾与你倾述？

如果我能告诉你，我一定会让你知道。
