The National - Slow Show

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
站在吧台邊狂飲調酒

can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
無法靜下心來聆聽任何人的聲音

a little more stupid, a little more scared
有些愚蠢  有些害怕

every minute more unprepared
隨著每分每秒逝去越來越不知所措

I made a mistake in my life today
我今天犯下了人生最大的錯誤

everything I love gets lost in drawers
我所熱愛的一切都遺失在雜亂的抽屜裡了

I want to start over, I want to be winning
我想要重新開始  我也想要成為贏家

way out of sync from the beginning
但一開始就全走了樣

I wanna hurry home to you
我渴望飛奔回家見妳

put on a slow, dumb show for you
為妳上演一齣緩慢無聲的戲碼

and crack you up
然後逗妳發笑

so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
這樣妳就可以在我頭上綁一條獎勵的藍色緞帶

god I'm very, very frightening
天啊  我這副狼狽樣看起來好嚇人

I'll overdo it
我想我太過火了

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
想找個心情寄託的地方喘口氣

I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
我靠在牆邊  那座牆接著卻轟然倒下了

Can I get a minute of not being nervous
能不能有那麼一刻不要這麼焦躁不安

and not thinking of my dick
不要滿腦性愛

My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
我的腿抖動不停  我的腿動彈不得

I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
我最好打點一下自己  整理一下思緒

You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
如果妳能在我腦海中駕車穿梭  

from one side of it to the other
五分鐘之內就能從起點到達終點

I wanna hurry home to you
我渴望飛奔回家見妳

put on a slow, dumb show for you
為妳上演一齣緩慢無聲的戲碼

and crack you up
然後逗妳發笑

so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
這樣妳就可以在我頭上綁一條獎勵的藍色緞帶

god I'm very, very frightening
天啊  我這副狼狽樣看起來好嚇人

I'll overdo it
我想我太過火了

You know I dreamed about you
妳知道我為妳魂牽夢繫了二十九年

for twenty-nine years before I saw you
在我真正見到妳之前

You know I dreamed about you
妳知道我一直為妳朝思暮想

I missed you for
我一直思念著妳

for twenty-nine years
思念了二十九年



You know I dreamed about you
妳知道我為妳魂牽夢繫了二十九年

for twenty-nine years before I saw you
在我真正遇到妳之前

You know I dreamed about you
妳知道我一直為妳朝思暮想

I missed you for
一直思念著妳

for twenty-nine years
思念了二十九年



Z U N I A  譯 

When I first listened to this song, it didn't grab me at all.
But after another listen or two...it really got me from the first note.
The voice sends a cold sadness down my spine,
but still I can feel a kind of melanchloy joy and passion.

There are times you are feeling like a loser.
There are times you are feeling out of place.
There are times you are feeling a little...dead.
There are times you are feeling stuck in a crappy job.
There are times you wanna get rid of adult responsibilities and pressure.
There are times you wanna escape from everything
and just go home to be with your love.
