The Man who Sold the World 〈典當世界的男人〉

The Man who Sold the World 〈典當世界的男人〉
Composed and Lyrics by David Bowie
詞曲：大衛鮑伊

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn’t there
He said I was his friend
我們走過梯間
訴說起何時何地
縱使我不在那方
他說我是他朋友

Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
這還真是詫異
我直視他雙眼　訴說著
我以為你經已死去經年
在好久好久以前

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
不是的　那個並非我
我不曾失控
與你相對的
正是典當世界的男人

I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
我莞爾一笑　握手示意
然後自行歸家
我試圖找尋形式與地點
冥想著好多個年頭

I gazed a gazeless stare
We walked a million hills
I must have died alone
A long long time ago
我凝視著無可凝望的視角
我們走過百萬座丘陵
我想必經已死去經年
在很久很久以前

Who knows, not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
誰說得上呢　那個並非我
我們不曾失控
與你相對的
正是典當世界的男人
