Thunder road Bruce Springsteen

The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
Oh Thunder road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late
We can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
Thunder road

Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets

They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win
怒吼的路  布魯斯史賓斯汀

那紗門猛地關上
瑪麗的連衣裙飄揚起來
就像一個幻像--她橫過門廊翩翩起舞
當收音機開著
洛依奧比森為寂寞者而唱
嘿!那正是我,而我只想得到你
不要再把我趕回家了
我確實不能夠再面對我獨自一人
不要跑回屋內
親愛的,你知道我在這�堿O做甚麼的
所以你驚恐,而且你想
也許我們再也不是那麼年輕了
顯露一點信心吧,在夜�堿O有魔法的
你不是一個美人,但,嘿,你不錯呀
噢,而且我覺得這不成問題呀

你可以躲在你的被子之下
然後沉思你的痛苦
用你的情人們來造十字架
在雨中拋下玫瑰
浪費你的青春去作毫無結果的禱告
祈求一個拯救者在這些街道上升起
哎,現在我不是一個英雄
那是可理解的
所有我能提供的救贖,小姐
是在這骯髒的車篷之下
總會有機會把它變得美好的
嘿,現在我們還有甚麼可以做呢
只有把窗子拉下
然後讓風吹反你的頭髮
啊,黑夜爆裂而開
這兩條小路將可帶我們去任何地方
我們有最後一個機會去使它成為現實
去使車輪變作翅膀
坐進我汽車的後座吧
天堂就在小路的下方等著
噢,噢,來握緊我的手吧
今夜乘車出去,去窺探那期望中的樂土
噢,噢,怒吼的路!噢,怒吼的路!
噢,怒吼的路!
躺臥在那,就像太陽下的殺手
嘿,我知道現在已經晚了
但如果我們奔跑的話,我們仍能做到的
噢,怒吼的路!坐穩,扶緊
怒吼的路!

好的,我得到這吉他
我也學會怎樣使它講話
而我的車子就在後方
如果你已準備好去開始那長長的旅程
從你的前門廊來到我的前座
那門是開著的,但這旅程不是沒有代價的
我知道你很孤單
為了那些我沒說出口的說話
但是今晚我們將會自由
所有諾言都會被打破
那�埵釩梪F在眼內
在所有你打發走的男孩的眼內
它們縈繞在這積滿灰塵的海濱公路
在燒盡的雪佛蘭牌汽車的骨架��*

在晚上的街道�堙A它們尖叫你的名字
你那畢業袍破碎的躺在它們的腳下
在破曉前孤單的清涼
你聽見它們的引擎轟隆地響
但當你走到門廊,它們已走了
隨風而去,所以瑪麗進來吧
這是一個充滿失敗者的城鎮
我正拉出這�堨h取勝

 譯者感想:在這歌中,汽車是奔向自由的象徵,這�媟t喻瑪麗被以往段段失敗的戀情的記憶縈繞著,以致對自由或展開一段新生活感到絕望(燒盡的汽車)。
