他躺在那里
There he lies.
愿上帝原谅他的粗鲁 让他的灵魂安息
God rest his soul,and his rudeness.
饥渴的大众现在终于能够 ‘分享’他的病情
A devouring public can now sharethe remains of his sickness,
还有他的电♥话♥号♥码了
and his phone numbers.
他就躺在那里
There he lay…

一首诗就仿佛一个赤♥裸♥的人
A poem is like a naked person.
就算是鬼魂…
Even the ghost…
也不止是一个人
was more than one person.
只有歌♥，才能不胫而走
But a song is something that walks by itself.
#流浪汉绕着街区#
[歌♥名：stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again]
[出自专辑：Blonde on Blonde（1966）]
# Aw, the ragman draws circles #
# 不停打着转转#
# Up and down the block #
# 我想问他为什么这样 #
# I’d ask him what the matter was #
#但我知道他不会开口#
# But I know that he don’t talk #
# 女士们待我很友好 #
# And the ladies treat me kindly #
# 她们还送给我绷带 #
# And they furnish me with tape #
#不过在我的内心深处#
# But deep inside my heart #
# 我知道我没法逃离 #
# I know I can’t escape #
# 哦，妈妈#
# Oh, Mama #
# 难道这就是尽头 #
# Can this really be the end #
# 被困在莫比尔的小镇 #
# To be stuck inside of Mobile #
# 再听着孟菲斯的蓝调#
# With the Memphis blues again? #
# 好了，莎士比亚他就在巷子里 #
# Well, Shakespeare, he’s in the alley #
# 穿着他那尖头的靴子，提着马铃#
# With his pointed shoes and his bells #
# 和一个法国姑娘说话#
# Speaking to some French girl #
# 说她和我很熟#
# Who says she knows me well #
# 我要给她带个信 #
# And I would send a message #
# 看看她是否在撒谎 #
# To find out if she’s talked #
# 可是邮局已经被偷走了 #
# But the post office has been stolen #
# 而邮箱也被锁上了 #
# And the mailbox is locked #
# 哦，妈妈#
# Oh, Mama #
# 难道这就是尽头 #
# Can this really be the end #
# 被困在莫比尔的小镇 #
# To be stuck inside of Mobile #
# 再听着孟菲斯的蓝调#
# With the Memphis blues again? #
# 现在，雨人给了我两瓶药水#
# Now the rain man gave me two cures #
# 然后他说，都灌下去 #
# Then he said, “Jump right in” #
# 第一瓶是得克萨斯的药水 #
# The one was Texas medicine #
# 另一瓶不过是铁路工常喝的杜松子酒 #
# The other was just railroad gin #
# 我像个疯子一样把他们混在一起 #
# And like a fool I mixed them #
# 这酒让我的脑子窒息 #
# And it strangled up my mind #
# 而现在人们变得越来越丑陋#
# And now people just get uglier #
# 我也没有了对时间的感受 #
# And I have no sense of time #
# 哦，妈妈#
# Oh, Mama #
# 难道这就是尽头 #
# Can this really be the end #
# 被困在莫比尔的小镇 #
# To be stuck here inside of Mobile #
# 再听着孟菲斯的蓝调#
# With the Memphis blues again? #
