Streets of London---Ralph McTell  伦敦的街道---雷夫麦泰尔

Have you seen the old man 你可曾看过那个老人
in the closed-down market 在已收摊的市场里
Kicking up the paper 踢着报纸
with his worn out shoes? 用他磨破的鞋子
In his eyes you see no pride 在他的眼里你看不到骄傲
Hand held loosely at his side 手无力的垂在两旁
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news 昨天的报纸述说着昨日的新闻

*So how can you tell me you're lonely 所以你怎能还告诉我说你很孤独
And say for you that the sun don't shine? 说阳光不再为你照耀？
Let me take you by the hand 让我牵着你的手
and lead you through the streets of London  带你穿越过伦敦的街道
I'll show you something  我要让你看一些事情
to make you change your mind 改变你的想法

Have you seen the old girl 你可曾看过那个老太太
who walks the streets of London 走过伦敦的街头
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags 她的发上沾满泥沙，衣服破烂不堪
She's no time for talking 她没有时间聊天
She just keeps right on walking 只是不停的走着
Carrying her home in two carrier bags (*) 用两只购物袋携带着她的家 (*)

In the all night cafe 在一家通宵营业的咖啡馆
at a quarter past eleven 晚上十一点十五分
Same old man is sitting there on his own 同一个老人孤独的坐着
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup 他越过杯缘，注视着这个世界
Each tea lasts an hour 每杯茶都喝上一个钟头
Then he wanders home alone (*) 然后，独自乱晃走回家去 (*)

Have you seen the old man 你可曾看过那个老人
outside the Seaman's Mission 在海军士兵之家外面
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears 回忆随着他披在身上的勋章彩带逐渐褪色
In our winter city, the rain cries a little pity 在我们的冬日城市里，雨水哭喊着一丝怜悯
For one more forgotten hero  为多一个被遗忘的英雄
And a world that doesn't care 这世界是不介意的
