今天分享的Long road是從去年就一直想翻譯的歌，
Passenger在今年1月9日來台表演，託姊姊的福，我也欣賞了演唱會。他是一位很棒的歌手，和一般國外歌手不太一樣，Passenger的話不少且十分幽默，很喜歡他這首歌裡的意境.......
世界上有一種人，重視錢與物質甚於一切，他的人生也許精彩亮麗，最後回頭看卻是空的
沒有了愛、沒有朋友，且時間也不為他停留。

【Lyrics】Long road - Passenger (中文翻譯歌詞- 吟遊詩人- 漫漫長路)

We've walked the long road and you've worn it well.
我們走了很長的路，你疲憊不已
You stitched yourself up when you fell.
當你受傷時 你自己縫合傷口 
Keep your memories in jars,
把你的回憶都收藏了起來
Carry secrets in scars
將祕密留存於疤痕之中
Beneath your shell.
你的保護之下

You've seen some good days, and some bad ones too. 
你經歷了好的日子，也經歷了壞的日子
You weave through fashion and trend.
你編織了屬於自己的流行與趨勢
You've seen a sun rise on an ocean blue,
你看見了太陽從湛藍海洋上升起
You've seen it set for the dearest of friends 
你也和幾個親愛的朋友一同看著日落

You found faith but you, chose to doubt it. 
你找著了人生信念 但你卻選擇懷疑它
You found love but you, left without it. 
你找著了愛 但你卻離開了這份愛
And now you don't want, to talk about it.
而如今你卻不願意去談論它

You travelled down through foreign lands,
你踏遍不同的地土
Touched mountain tops and golden sand, 
觸摸著山的峰頂 與金黃色的沙土
Seen pyramids and temples made of stone. 
你看過金字塔 與用石頭搭成的廟宇
Keep seashells in a cashmere scarf,
把貝殼放在羊毛圍巾裡頭
A treasured book of photographs 
一本珍藏的相簿裡
In every single one you stand alone. 
有你獨自站立的每個地方

You've seen Vienna and the Berlin wall,
你造訪了維也納與柏林圍牆
As you watched the decades fall
彷彿你也看見了數十年前它倒塌的模樣
The letters that you wrote never made it home. 
你寫了信件從來沒有到過家裡
Your birthdays flew past like June,
你每一年的生日如六月般快速飛過
With Christmas days in hotel rooms
聖誕假期時 你待在旅店的房間裡
And new years eve with people you don't know. 
和你不認識的人一同度過跨年 

You built friendships but they, sailed without you.
你建立起友情 但他們卻遠離而去
You never meant it and that's why, they doubt you. 
你從不在友情上認真 而這也是為什麼 他們會懷疑你
They don't ever talk about you. 
他們不再談論關於你的事

You're older than you used to be,
你變得比從前更老了
The mirror weaves a tapestry 
鏡子鑲在針織的掛毯上
Of lines that dance and shimmer 'round your eyes.
在你眼前 舞動且閃耀著
You stare back at a man, forever holding out his hand
你盯著鏡中的那位　永遠向他人伸手索求的人
As if the answer's going to fall out of the sky. 
彷彿那答案會從天空降下
But the penny never dropped, 
但錢從來沒有落下
And no man has ever stopped time flying by.
且 從來沒人能叫那流逝的時間暫停
