Waiting In The Weeds（心在荒芜中等待）－－老鹰乐队经典

或许是心境不同，我从这首歌中听到的是对生活的沧桑和不易，就算不懂英语的朋友只要静下心来欣赏，也会有一种感动让你眼泪盈眶。下面是从新浪佛说博客里找来的歌词翻译。

Waiting In The Weeds—心在荒芜中等待

It’s coming on the end of August
八月的日子即将逝去
Another summer’s promise almost gone
又一个夏天的约定即将走远
And though I heard some wise man say

I’ve been biding time with the crows and sparrows
我邀请乌鸦和麻雀一起伴我熬过了这段时间
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
而孔雀却在台上昂首表演
If finding love is just a dance
如果寻找爱情就像一场舞会
Proximity and chance
接近然后获得机会
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
那你要原谅我逃离这舞会

And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
我的心一直在荒芜中等待
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the back roads running through the fields
等待着尘埃穿过旷野飘落街道
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
躺在寂寞城镇的郊外
And I imagine sunlight in your hair
想象着你发梢的光泽
You’re at the county fair
在乡村嘉年华上
You’re holding hands and laughing
你们双手紧握尽情欢笑着
And now the Ferris wheel has stopped
突然摩天轮停止了转动
You’re swinging on the top ，Suspended there with him
你和他一起悬在高空中摇摆
And he’s the darling of the chic
他是漂亮的宠儿
The flavor of the weak is melting down your pretty summer dress, Baby, what a mess you’re making
短暂的时尚风情正沿着你的夏裙慢慢熔化，亲爱的，你看起来是多么的糟糕

I’ve been stumbling through some dark places
我一直在黑暗中迷失着方向
Now I’m following the plow
现在终于找到方向可以艰难的前行了
I know I’ve fallen out of your good graces
我知道我已经放下了对你的依恋
It’s alright now
现在应该没什么了

And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
我的心一直在荒芜中等待
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the wild birds scattering the seeds
等待着夏季暴雨的侵袭
Answering the calling of the tide’s eternal tune
