歌词
现在是凌晨四点，十二月尾声
此刻正在给你写信，想知道你可否安好
It's four in the morning, the end of December
纽约的冬天很冷，但我喜欢我住的地方
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
因为我住的克林顿街，彻夜都响着音乐
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
我听说你在荒漠深处
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
建造着自己的小屋
你现在真的一无所求了吗
I hear that you're building
我多希望你能有所眷恋
简来过，带着你的一缕发结
your little house deep in the desert
她说那是你送的
在你决定把事情理清的那天晚上送给她的
You're living for nothing now
你真的把所有事情都理清了吗
I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
上次我们见你时
你看起来苍老多了
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
你那件出了名的蓝雨衣，连肩部也残破了
She said that you gave it to her
以前，你常去车站，等遍每一趟火车
That night that you planned to go clear
但是你心中的那位莉莉玛莲始终没有出现
你还把我的女人
Did you ever go clear?
当作你生命中的一段插曲
当她从你那里回来时，依然是独身一人
Ah, the last time we saw you
我想像着你嘴里衔着玫瑰专门窃取爱情
you looked so much older
又是一个手法并不高明的吉普赛小偷
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
噢，简现在还醒着
她让我代她向你问好
You'd been to the station to meet every train
可我还能说些什么呢，我的兄弟，我的情敌
And you came home without Lili Marlene
我还能再说些什么呢
或许诉说思念
And you treated my woman
或许谈谈谅解
to a flake of your life
告诉你我很高兴你曾走进我的生命
And when she came home she was nobody's wife.
如果你以后来作客，看看简，或是我
我对你的敌意已然沉睡已对那个放不下的女人释然
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
其实，我要感谢你，是你拂去了她眼中的烦恼
而我，以为那天生如此，而并没有走入她内心深处
One more thin gypsy thief
简来过，带着你的一缕发结
她说那是你送的
Well I see Jane's awake --
在你决定把一切事情理清的那天晚上
She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you,
I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
