The Boxer
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance 我揮霍了力氣
For a pocketful of mumbles 一口袋的閒言閒語
Such are promises
All lies and jest 謊言&玩笑
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of a railway station
Running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters 貧窮的角落
Where the raged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie-la-lie
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-one from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Lie-la-lie
Now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking easily
I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be
But that's not unusual
No, it isn't strange
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes we are
More or less the same
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me 渴望回鄉
Going home
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the remainders
Of every glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

反戰 counterculture Joan Baey
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
荷蘭芹 除尾草 迷迭香 百里香
= 愛情甜美 sweetness
= 恆久的力量 strength
= 愛的忠誠 (bride戴的) faithfulness
= 勇士的盾牌 courage
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (麻製的衣服)
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework 無接縫
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then she'll be true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call) 號角
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme
(Washed is the ground with silvery tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.)
Tell her to reap it in a sickly of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.)
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

The Sound of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping 幻象緩慢地爬過
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence. (矛盾的修辭造成反差)
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone 鵝卵石
Neath the halo of a street lamp (Beneath)
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence (I, my eyes => subject)
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, " You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made 比喻對物質主義的膜拜
And the sign flashed out its warning 聖經的典故
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on
the subway walls 先知的箴言
And tenement halls" 窮人住的廉價公寓
And whispered in the sounds of silence

a protest against the futility of war and the senseless loss
civil war inside 南方美麗的哀愁
the alternative perspective: from the South rather than North

Sweet Sir Galahad
Sweet Sir Galahad (Mimi's second husband)
Came in through the window
In the night when
The moon was in the yard.
He took her hand in his
And shook the long hair
From his neck and he told her (Mimi)
She'd been working much too hard.
It was true that ever since the day
Her crazy man had passed away (died)
To the land of poet's pride,
She laughed and talked a lot
With new people on the block
But always at evening time she cried.
And here's to the dawn of
their days
She moved her head
A little down on the bed
Until it rested softly on his knee
And there she dropped her smile
And there she sighed awhile,
Of those years that
numbered three. (sorrow of three years)
Well you know I think my fate's belated (被延遲)
Because of all the hours I waited
For the day when I'd no longer cry.
I get myself to work by eight
But oh, was I born too late,
And do you think I'll fail
At ever single think I try?
And here's to the dawn of their days.
He just put his arm around her
And that's the way I found her
Eight months later to the day. (man died that day)
The lines of a smile erased
The tear tracks upon her face,
A smile could linger, even stay.
Sweet Sir Galahad went down
With his gay bride of flowers,
The prince of the hours
Of her lifetime.
And here's to the dawn
Of their days,
Of their days.

Virgil Caine is my name
And I drove on the Danville train
Til so much cavalry came 騎兵
And tore up the track again
In the winter of sixty-five
We were hungry, just barely alive
I took the train to Richmond that fell
It's a time I remember
Oh, so well
The night they drove Old Dixie down 北方政府打敗南方
And all the bells were ringin'
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the people were singin'
Laaaaaa, la-la-la- aaaaaa
Back with my wife in Tennessee
And one day she said to me
Virgil, quick come see
There goes the Robert E Lee
Now, I don't care if my money's no good
Just take what you need and leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin'
The night hey drove Old Dixie down
Like my father before me
I'm a working man
And like my brother before me
I took a rebel stand
Well, he was just 18, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the blood below my feet 哥哥的血 mud below my fee
You can't raise the/a Caine back up 復活
When he's in defeat.
raise Cain = to make a lot of trouble; to raise hell.
Let's stop raising Cain.手足殘殺

Well, the last time we (speaker & Jane) saw you, you looked so much older
You famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
Stood in the station and met every train
But she never showed up I'm Lili Marleen
And what can I tell you oh what can I tell you
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad that you stood in my way
And if you ever come by here, be it for Jane or for me
I want you to know your enemy's sleeping, I want you to
know your woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so we never really tried, oh.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Said you gave it to her
That night when you planned to go clear

Well I'll be damned = cursed
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'v known
A couple of light years ago = the distance
Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks 袖扣
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust ===> the good and bad memories
Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon = the common phenomenon 共同的現象
The original vagabond = tramp 流浪漢
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free (=speaker) 聖母
Yes the girl on the half-shell = said of oyster 生吃牡蠣
Would keep you unharmed
bivalve mollusk 雙殼
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel = shabby, cheap
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there
Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic 懷舊
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid.
